<p id="caption-attachment-247936" class="wp-caption-text">Researchers at Nagoya University have linked aldehydes, byproducts from alcohol, pollution, and smoke, to premature aging and DNA damage, proposing potential strategies to mitigate aging effects and highlighting the impact of environmental factors on health.</p>
<p>Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have discovered that aldehydes are metabolic byproducts associated with premature aging. Published in Nature Cell Biology, their findings reveal insights into premature aging diseases and potential strategies to combat aging in healthy individuals such as controlling exposure to aldehyde-inducing substances including alcohol, pollution, and smoke.</p>
<p>A person’s health can be harmed by aldehydes. However, the group’s findings suggest these detrimental effects also include aging. The team who made this discovery included Yasuyoshi Oka, Yuka Nakazawa, Mayuko Shimada, and Tomoo Ogi of <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>Nagoya University</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>Nagoya University, sometimes abbreviated as NU, is a Japanese national research university located in Chikusa-ku, Nagoya. It was the seventh Imperial University in Japan, one of the first five Designated National University and selected as a Top Type university of Top Global University Project by the Japanese government. It is one of the highest ranked higher education institutions in Japan.</div>

<p>“<span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>DNA</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule composed of two long strands of nucleotides that coil around each other to form a double helix. It is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms that carries genetic instructions for development, functioning, growth, and reproduction. Nearly every cell in a person’s body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA).</div>

<h4>Link Between Aldehydes and Aging</h4>
<p>The researchers hypothesized that there might be a link between aldehydes and aging since individuals with premature aging disorders, like AMeD syndrome, exhibit inadequate activity of enzymes, like ALDH2, that break down aldehydes.</p>
<p>For healthy individuals, ALDH2 is also important in our response to alcohol. When a person drinks wine or beer, the liver metabolizes the alcohol into aldehydes so it can be eliminated from the body. The activity of ALDH2 is important for converting the aldehydes into a non-toxic substance.</p>

<p>Aldehydes are harmful because they are highly reactive with DNA and proteins. In the body, they form DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) that block important enzymes in typical cell proliferation and maintenance processes, causing these processes to malfunction and the patient to age.</p>
<p>Focusing on DPCs caused by aldehyde, the scientists used a method called DPC-seq to investigate the link between aldehyde accumulation and DNA damage in premature-aging disease patients. In a series of experiments, the researchers discovered that the TCR complex, VCP/p97, and the proteasome are involved in the removal of formaldehyde-induced DPCs in actively transcribed regions. This was confirmed by a mouse model lacking both aldehyde clearance processes and the TCR pathway that showed worse AMeD syndrome symptoms.</p>
<p>These processes are important because they are related to the clearance of aldehydes. It suggests an association between premature aging diseases and aldehyde accumulation.</p>
<h4>Research Findings and Future Directions</h4>
<p>Professor Ogi is hopeful about the implications of their findings, stating: “By elucidating the mechanism by which DNA damage heals quickly, we have revealed part of the cause of genetic premature aging.”</p>
<p>“Our research opens up new avenues for understanding the underlying mechanisms of premature aging diseases and offers potential targets for therapeutic intervention,” Oka said. “By elucidating the role of aldehydes in DNA damage and aging, we are paving the way for future studies aimed at developing novel treatments and interventions.”</p>
<p>He continued: “The development of therapeutic drugs has not progressed because we have not fully understood the causes of AMeD syndrome and Cockayne syndrome. This study suggests that the patient’s pathological condition is related to DPC derived from aldehydes generated within cells. These results are expected to help in the search for compounds that remove aldehydes, thus aiding in the formulation of therapeutic drug candidates.”</p>
<p>This research has implications that extend beyond genetic diseases, as their findings suggest that aldehyde-induced DNA damage may play a role in the aging process in healthy individuals too. By pinpointing aldehydes as substances that contribute to aging, this study sheds light on the intricate connection between environmental factors and cellular aging. This may have significant implications for human health and lifespan.</p>

<p id="caption-attachment-159953" class="wp-caption-text">Research indicates that metformin, while beneficial for pregnant animals, might not positively affect their offspring, underscoring the complexity of managing gestational diabetes risks and the importance of pursuing preventive strategies.</p>
<p>As cases of gestational diabetes and metabolic disorders increase during pregnancy, the prescription of metformin has become more common. Despite understanding that this oral antidiabetic medication can pass through the placental barrier, its effects on a child’s brain development remain largely unclear. However, a cross-disciplinary team from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbrücke (DIfE) has recently shown in a mouse study that while metformin benefits pregnant animals, these positive effects do not extend to their offspring.</p>
<p>The results were published in the specialist journal Molecular Metabolism.</p>
<p>Current figures show that around one in six pregnant women worldwide are affected by a special form of diabetes known as gestational diabetes. According to the Robert Koch Institute, 63,000 women in Germany were affected by the disease in 2021, and the trend is increasing.<br />These numbers are alarming because excessively high blood sugar levels during pregnancy are associated with negative consequences for mother and child. This increases the risk of affected women developing type 2 diabetes later on and their children have a higher risk of developing metabolic disorders and being overweight.</p>
<h4>Long-Term Effect of Metformin on Offspring is Unclear</h4>
<p>For several years, the placenta-crossing oral antidiabetic agent metformin has been increasingly gaining importance as an alternative to <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>insulin</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>Insulin is a hormone that regulates the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is produced by the pancreas and released into the bloodstream when the level of glucose in the blood rises, such as after a meal. Insulin helps to transport glucose from the bloodstream into the cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for later use. Insulin also helps to regulate the metabolism of fat and protein. In individuals with diabetes, their body doesn&#039;t produce enough insulin or doesn&#039;t respond properly to insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels, which can lead to serious health problems if left untreated.</div>
<p>&#8221; data-gt-translate-attributes=&#8221;[{&#8220;attribute&#8221;:&#8221;data-cmtooltip&#8221;, &#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;html&#8221;}]&#8221; tabindex=&#8221;0&#8243; role=&#8221;link&#8221;>insulin</span> administration when lifestyle changes show no success during the treatment of gestational diabetes. However, there are currently only a few studies on the long-term effects of metformin on the health of offspring. It is known that metformin has an impact on the AMPK signaling pathway, which regulates the networking of nerve cells during brain development.</p>
<p>The interdisciplinary team of DIfE researchers led by Junior Research Group Leader Dr. Rachel Lippert, therefore, grappled with two central questions: Is metformin treatment only beneficial for the mother or also the child? And does metformin treatment lead to long-term negative physiological changes in the offspring, especially in connection with the development of neuronal circuits in the hypothalamus, a critical region in the regulation of energy homeostasis?</p>
<h4>Mouse Models Shed Some Light</h4>
<p>To answer the key questions, the researchers used two mouse models to represent the main causes of gestational diabetes:</p>
<p>severe obesity of the mother before pregnancy and excessive weight gain during pregnancy. These metabolic states were achieved by means of different feeding patterns, with the mice receiving either a high-fat or control diet. The antidiabetic treatment of female mice and their offspring took place during the lactation period as this corresponds to the third trimester of a human pregnancy in terms of brain development.</p>
<p>Treatment involved insulin, metformin, or a placebo, whereby the dosage was based on standard human treatments. The research team collected data on the body weight of the mice, analyzed various metabolic parameters and hormones, and examined molecular signaling pathways in the hypothalamus.</p>
<h4>Maternal Metabolic State is Crucial</h4>
<p>“As a result of antidiabetic treatment in the early postnatal period, we were able to identify alterations in the weight gain and hormonal status of the offspring, which were critically dependent on the metabolic state of the mother,” explains Lippert. Furthermore, sex-specific changes in hypothalamic AMPK signaling in response to metformin exposure were also observed. Together with the metformin-induced shift in the examined hormone levels, the results indicate that the maternal metabolic state must be taken into account before starting the treatment of gestational diabetes.</p>
<h4>Focusing on Prevention</h4>
<p>According to Rachel Lippert, treatment of gestational diabetes in the future could entail developing a medication that is available for all and does not cross the placenta. “Given the increasing prevalence, education about gestational diabetes and preventive measures are of vital importance. If we can find a way to manage lifestyle and diet more proactively, we are in a better position to exploit the potential of gestational diabetes treatment,” says Lippert.</p>

<p id="caption-attachment-149165" class="wp-caption-text">Researchers have discovered that proteins from tardigrades, known for surviving extreme conditions, can slow molecular processes in human cells, offering promising applications in aging research and cell storage. This finding paves the way for developing new technologies to enhance human health and treat diseases.</p>
<p>Researchers at the University of Wyoming have advanced our understanding of how tardigrades survive extreme conditions and shown that proteins from the microscopic creatures expressed in human cells can slow down molecular processes.</p>
<p>This makes the tardigrade proteins potential candidates in technologies centered on slowing the aging process and in long-term storage of human cells.</p>
<p>The new study, published in the journal Protein Science, examines the mechanisms used by tardigrades to enter and exit from suspended animation when faced by environmental stress. Led by Senior Research Scientist Silvia Sanchez-Martinez in the lab of UW Department of Molecular Biology Assistant Professor Thomas Boothby, the research provides additional evidence that tardigrade proteins eventually could be used to make life-saving treatments available to people where refrigeration is not possible — and enhance storage of cell-based therapies, such as stem cells.</p>

<h4>Research Findings and Future Directions</h4>
<p>They survive by entering a state of suspended animation called biostasis, using proteins that form gels inside of cells and slow down life processes, according to the new UW-led research.

<p>Sanchez-Martinez, who came from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to join Boothby’s UW lab, was the lead author of the paper.</p>
<p>“Amazingly, when we introduce these proteins into human cells, they gel and slow down metabolism, just like in tardigrades,” Sanchez-Martinez says. “Furthermore, just like tardigrades, when you put human cells that have these proteins into biostasis, they become more resistant to stresses, conferring some of the tardigrades’ abilities to the human cells.”</p>
<p>Importantly, the research shows that the whole process is reversible: “When the stress is relieved, the tardigrade gels dissolve, and the human cells return to their normal metabolism,” Boothby says.</p>
<p>“Our findings provide an avenue for pursuing technologies centered on the induction of biostasis in cells and even whole organisms to slow aging and enhance storage and stability,” the researchers concluded.</p>
<p>Previous research by Boothby’s team showed that natural and engineered versions of tardigrade proteins can be used to stabilize an important pharmaceutical used to treat people with hemophilia and other conditions without the need for refrigeration.</p>
<p>Tardigrades’ ability to survive being dried out has puzzled scientists, as the creatures do so in a manner that appears to differ from a number of other organisms with the ability to enter suspended animation.</p>

<p> <span class="entry-by">By</span> <span class="entry-meta-author vcard author">National University of Singapore, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine</span> <span class="entry-meta-date updated">March 23, 2024</span></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-154592" class="wp-caption-text">A groundbreaking study found that trigonelline, found in coffee and fenugreek, boosts muscle health in aging by improving NAD+ levels and mitochondrial function, offering new strategies for healthy aging and disease prevention.</p>
<p>A research consortium led by Nestlé Research in Switzerland and the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) made a recent discovery that the natural molecule trigonelline present in coffee, fenugreek, and also in the human body, can help to improve muscle health and function.</p>
<p>In an international collaboration among the University of Southampton, University of Melbourne, University of Tehran, University of South Alabama, University of Toyama, and University of Copenhagen, the work builds on a previous collaborative study that described novel mechanisms of human sarcopenia.</p>
<p>Sarcopenia is a condition where cellular changes that happen during aging gradually weaken the muscles in the body and lead to accelerated loss of muscle mass, strength and reduced physical independence.</p>
<p>One important problem during sarcopenia is that the cellular cofactor NAD+ declines during aging, while mitochondria, the energy powerhouses in our cells, produce less energy. The study team discovered that levels of trigonelline were lower in older people with sarcopenia. Providing this molecule in pre-clinical models resulted in increased levels of NAD+, increased mitochondrial activity, and contributed to the maintenance of muscle function during aging.</p>
<h4>Nutritional Approaches to Combat Aging</h4>
<p>NAD+ levels can be enhanced with different dietary precursors like the essential amino <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>acid</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>Any substance that when dissolved in water, gives a pH less than 7.0, or donates a hydrogen ion.</div>

<p>Assistant Professor Vincenzo Sorrentino from the Healthy Longevity Translational Research Programme at NUS Medicine added, “Our findings expand the current understanding of NAD+ metabolism with the discovery of trigonelline as a novel NAD+ precursor and increase the potential of establishing interventions with NAD+-producing vitamins for both healthy longevity and age-associated diseases applications.”</p>
<p>Nutrition and physical activity are important lifestyle recommendations to maintain healthy muscles during aging. “We were excited to discover through collaborative research that a natural molecule from food cross-talks with cellular hallmarks of aging. The benefits of trigonelline on cellular metabolism and muscle health during aging opens promising translational applications,” said Jerome Feige, Head of the Physical Health department at Nestlé Research.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-358248" class="wp-caption-text">High protein consumption may elevate atherosclerosis risk by activating immune cells that contribute to arterial plaque formation, with leucine playing a critical role, according to a study by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.</p>
<p><strong>High protein consumption may elevate atherosclerosis risk by activating immune cells that contribute to arterial plaque formation, with leucine playing a critical role.</strong></p>
<p>University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers discovered a molecular mechanism by which excessive dietary protein could increase atherosclerosis risk. The findings were published on February 19 in Nature Metabolism.</p>
<p>The study, which combined small human trials with experiments in mice and cells in a Petri dish, showed that consuming over 22% of dietary calories from protein can lead to increased activation of immune cells that play a role in atherosclerotic plaque formation, driving the disease risk. Furthermore, the scientists showed that one amino <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>acid</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>Any substance that when dissolved in water, gives a pH less than 7.0, or donates a hydrogen ion.</div>

<h4>The Risks of High-Protein Diets</h4>
<p>“Our study shows that dialing up your protein intake in pursuit of better metabolic health is not a panacea. You could be doing real damage to your arteries,” said senior and co-corresponding author Babak Razani, M.D., Ph.D., professor of cardiology at Pitt. “Our hope is that this research starts a conversation about ways of modifying diets in a precise manner that can influence body function at a molecular level and dampen disease risks.”</p>
<p><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-357943" class="wp-image-357943" src="https://scitechdaily.com/images/Babak-Razani-683x1024.jpg" alt="Babak Razani" width="360" height="540" srcset="https://scitechdaily.com/images/Babak-Razani-683x1024.jpg 683w, https://scitechdaily.com/images/Babak-Razani-267x400.jpg 267w, https://scitechdaily.com/images/Babak-Razani-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://scitechdaily.com/images/Babak-Razani-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://scitechdaily.com/images/Babak-Razani.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px"/></p>

<p>According to a survey of the average American diet over the last decade, Americans generally consume a lot of protein, mostly from animal sources. Further, nearly a quarter of the population receives over 22% of all daily calories from protein alone.</p>
<p>That trend is likely driven by the popular idea that dietary protein is essential to healthy living, says Razani. But his and other groups have shown that overreliance on protein may not be such a good thing for long-term health.</p>
<h4>Mechanisms and Implications for Human Health</h4>
<p>Following their 2020 research, in which Razani’s laboratory first showed that excess dietary protein increases atherosclerosis risk in mice, his next study in collaboration with Bettina Mittendorfer, Ph.D., a metabolism expert at the University of Missouri, Columbia, delved deeper into the potential mechanism and its relevance to the human body.</p>
<p>To arrive at the answer, Razani’s laboratory, led by first-authors Xiangyu Zhang, Ph.D., and Divya Kapoor, M.D., teamed up with Mittendorfer’s group to combine their expertise in cellular biology and metabolism and perform a series of experiments across various models – from cells to mice to humans.</p>
<p>“We have shown in our mechanistic studies that <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>amino acids</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>&lt;div class=&quot;cell text-container large-6 small-order-0 large-order-1&quot;&gt;<br />
&lt;div class=&quot;text-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amino acids are a set of organic compounds used to build proteins. There are about 500 naturally occurring known amino acids, though only 20 appear in the genetic code. Proteins consist of one or more chains of amino acids called polypeptides. The sequence of the amino acid chain causes the polypeptide to fold into a shape that is biologically active. The amino acid sequences of proteins are encoded in the genes. Nine proteinogenic amino acids are called &quot;essential&quot; for humans because they cannot be produced from other compounds by the human body and so must be taken in as food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;<br />
&lt;/div&gt;</div>
<p>&#8221; data-gt-translate-attributes=&#8221;[{&#8220;attribute&#8221;:&#8221;data-cmtooltip&#8221;, &#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;html&#8221;}]&#8221; tabindex=&#8221;0&#8243; role=&#8221;link&#8221;>amino acids</span>, which are really the building blocks of the protein, can trigger disease through specific signaling mechanisms and then also alter the metabolism of these cells,” Mittendorfer said. “For instance, small immune cells in the vasculature called macrophages can trigger the development of atherosclerosis.”</p>
<p>Based on initial experiments in healthy human subjects to determine the timeline of immune cell activation following ingestion of protein-enriched meals, the researchers simulated similar conditions in mice and in human macrophages, immune cells that are shown to be particularly sensitive to amino acids derived from protein.</p>
<p>Their work showed that consuming more than 22% of daily dietary calories through protein can negatively affect macrophages that are responsible for clearing out cellular debris, leading to the accumulation of a “graveyard” of those cells inside the vessel walls and worsening of atherosclerotic plaques over time. Interestingly, the analysis of circulating amino acids showed that leucine – an amino acid enriched in animal-derived foods like beef, eggs, and milk – is primarily responsible for abnormal macrophage activation and atherosclerosis risk, suggesting a potential avenue for further research on personalized diet modification, or “precision nutrition.”</p>
<h4>Navigating Protein Consumption and Cardiovascular Health</h4>
<p>Razani is careful to note that many questions remain to be answered, mainly: What happens when a person consumes between 15% of daily calories from protein as recommended by the USDA and 22% of daily calories from protein, and if there is a ‘sweet spot’ for maximizing the benefits of protein – such as muscle gain – while avoiding kick-starting a molecular cascade of damaging events leading to <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>cardiovascular disease</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>Cardiovascular disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and stroke. It is caused by a variety of factors, including lifestyle choices (such as smoking and poor diet), genetics, and underlying medical conditions (such as high blood pressure and diabetes). Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, but can often be prevented or managed through lifestyle changes, medications, and medical procedures such as bypass surgery and angioplasty.</div>
<p>&#8221; data-gt-translate-attributes=&#8221;[{&#8220;attribute&#8221;:&#8221;data-cmtooltip&#8221;, &#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;html&#8221;}]&#8221; tabindex=&#8221;0&#8243; role=&#8221;link&#8221;>cardiovascular disease</span>.</p>
<p>The findings are particularly relevant in hospital settings, where nutritionists often recommend protein-rich foods for the sickest patients to preserve muscle mass and strength.</p>
<p>“Perhaps blindly increasing protein load is wrong,” Razani said. “Instead, it’s important to look at the diet as a whole and suggest balanced meals that won’t inadvertently exacerbate cardiovascular conditions, especially in people at risk of heart disease and vessel disorders.”</p>
<p>Razani also notes that these findings suggest differences in leucine levels between diets enriched in plant and animal protein might explain the differences in their effect on cardiovascular and metabolic health. “The potential for this type of mechanistic research to inform future dietary guidelines is quite exciting,” he said.</p>

<p id="caption-attachment-217600" class="wp-caption-text">Incretin hormones, produced in our gut, play a pivotal role in managing metabolism and weight, akin to the function of drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro. This natural weight loss system, activated by our dietary choices and the health of our gut microbiome, offers a built-in method for obesity and diabetes control. By focusing on nurturing our gut health through proper nutrition, we can unlock this natural mechanism, offering a sustainable approach to weight management that parallels the benefits of these modern medications.</p>
<p><strong>Recent drugs like Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro represent breakthroughs in metabolic disease treatment, offering new hope for managing obesity and diabetes. However, their use raises questions about long-term effects and suitability for certain groups, underscoring the importance of a healthy lifestyle.</strong></p>
<p>Wegovy, Ozempic, and Mounjaro are weight loss and diabetes drugs that have made quite a splash in health news. They target regulatory pathways involved in both obesity and diabetes and are widely considered breakthroughs for weight loss and blood sugar control.</p>
<p>But do these drugs point toward a root cause of metabolic disease? What inspired their development in the first place?</p>
<p>It turns out your body produces natural versions of these drugs – also known as incretin hormones – in your gut. It may not be surprising that nutrients in food help regulate these hormones. But it may intrigue you to know that the trillions of microbes in your gut are key for orchestrating this process.</p>
<p>I am a gastroenterologist at the <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>University of Washington</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>Founded in 1861, the University of Washington (UW, simply Washington, or informally U-Dub) is a public research university in Seattle, Washington, with additional campuses in Tacoma and Bothell. Classified as an R1 Doctoral Research University classification under the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, UW is a member of the Association of American Universities.</div>
<p>&#8221; data-gt-translate-attributes=&#8221;[{&#8220;attribute&#8221;:&#8221;data-cmtooltip&#8221;, &#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;html&#8221;}]&#8221; tabindex=&#8221;0&#8243; role=&#8221;link&#8221;>University of Washington</span> who studies how food and your gut microbiome affect health and disease. Here’s an inside-out perspective on the role natural gut hormones and healthy food play in metabolism and weight loss.</p>
<h4>A Broken Gut</h4>
<p>Specialized bacteria in your lower gut take the components of food you can’t digest like fiber and polyphenols – the elements of plants that are removed in many processed foods – and transforms them into molecules that stimulate hormones to control your appetite and metabolism. These include GLP-1, a natural version of Wegovy and Ozempic.</p>
<p>GLP-1 and other hormones like PYY help regulate blood sugar through the pancreas. They also tell your brain that you’ve had enough to eat and your stomach and intestines to slow the movement of food along the digestive tract to allow for digestion. This system even has a name: the colonic brake.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-351208" class="size-large wp-image-351208" src="https://scitechdaily.com/images/GLP-1-Body-Functions-777x615.jpg" alt="GLP-1 Body Functions" width="777" height="615" srcset="https://scitechdaily.com/images/GLP-1-Body-Functions-777x615.jpg 777w, https://scitechdaily.com/images/GLP-1-Body-Functions-400x317.jpg 400w, https://scitechdaily.com/images/GLP-1-Body-Functions-768x608.jpg 768w, https://scitechdaily.com/images/GLP-1-Body-Functions-1536x1216.jpg 1536w, https://scitechdaily.com/images/GLP-1-Body-Functions.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px"/></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-351208" class="wp-caption-text">GLP-1 serves many functions in the body. Credit: Lthoms11/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA</p>
<p>Prior to modern processed foods, metabolic regulatory pathways were under the direction of a diverse healthy gut microbiome that used these hormones to naturally regulate your metabolism and appetite. However, food processing, aimed at improving shelf stability and enhancing taste, removes the bioactive molecules like fiber and polyphenols that help regulate this system.</p>
<p>Removal of these key food components and the resulting decrease in gut microbiome diversity may be an important factor contributing to the rise in obesity and diabetes.</p>
<h4>A Short Track to Metabolic Health</h4>
<p>Wegovy and Ozempic reinvigorate the colonic brake downstream of food and microbes with molecules similar to GLP-1. Researchers have demonstrated their effectiveness at weight loss and blood sugar control.</p>
<p>Mounjaro has gone a step further and combined GLP-1 with a second hormone analog derived from the upper gut called GIP, and studies are showing this combination therapy to be even more effective at promoting weight loss than GLP-1-only therapies like Wegovy and Ozempic.</p>
<p>These drugs complement other measures like gastric bypass surgery that are used in the most extreme cases of metabolic disease. These surgeries may in part work much like Wegovy and Ozempic by bypassing digestion in segments of the gastrointestinal tract and bathing your gut microbes in less digested food. This awakens the microbes to stimulate your gut cells to produce GLP-1 and PYY, effectively regulating appetite and metabolism.</p>
<p>Many patients have seen significant improvements to not only their weight and blood glucose but also reductions in important cardiovascular outcomes like strokes and heart attacks. Medical guidelines support the use of new incretin-based medications like Wegovy, Ozempic and Mounjaro to manage the interrelated metabolic conditions of diabetes, obesity and <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>cardiovascular disease</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>Cardiovascular disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, such as coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and stroke. It is caused by a variety of factors, including lifestyle choices (such as smoking and poor diet), genetics, and underlying medical conditions (such as high blood pressure and diabetes). Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, but can often be prevented or managed through lifestyle changes, medications, and medical procedures such as bypass surgery and angioplasty.</div>
<p>&#8221; data-gt-translate-attributes=&#8221;[{&#8220;attribute&#8221;:&#8221;data-cmtooltip&#8221;, &#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;html&#8221;}]&#8221; tabindex=&#8221;0&#8243; role=&#8221;link&#8221;>cardiovascular disease</span>.</p>
<p>Considering the effects incretin-based medications have on the brain and cravings, medical researchers are also evaluating their potential to treat nonmetabolic conditions like alcohol abuse, drug addiction, and depression.</p>
<h4>A Near-Magic Bullet – For the Right Folks</h4>
<p>Despite the success and prospect of these drugs to help populations that may benefit most from them, current prescribing practices have raised some questions. Should people who are only a little overweight use these drugs? What are the risks of prescribing these drugs to children and adolescents for lifelong weight management?</p>
<p>While incretin-based therapies seem close to magic bullets, they are not without gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation. These symptoms are related to how the drugs work to slow the gastrointestinal tract. Other more severe, but rare, side effects include pancreatitis and irreversible gastroparesis, or inflammation of the pancreas and stomach paralysis.</p>
<p>These drugs can also lead to a loss of healthy lean muscle mass in addition to fat, particularly in the absence of exercise. Significant weight gain after stopping the drugs raises further questions about long-term effects and whether it’s possible to transition back to using only lifestyle measures to manage weight.</p>
<h4>All Roads Lead to Lifestyle</h4>
<p>Despite our greatest aspirations for quick fixes, it’s very possible that a healthy lifestyle remains the most important way to manage metabolic disease and overall health. This includes regular exercise, stress management, sleep, getting outdoors, and a balanced diet.</p>
<p>For the majority of the population who don’t yet have obesity or diabetes, restarting the gut’s built-in appetite and metabolism control by reintroducing whole foods and awaking the gut microbiome may be the best approach to promote healthy metabolism.</p>
<p>Adding minimally processed foods back to your diet, and specifically, those replete in fiber and polyphenols like flavonoids and carotenoids, can play an important and complementary role in helping address the epidemic of obesity and metabolic disease at one of its deepest roots.</p>

<p id="caption-attachment-161455" class="wp-caption-text">Researchers have introduced an efficient diabetes detection method using a simple mathematical calculation from a blood test, proving its reliability and affordability in a study published in the Journal of Diabetes.</p>
<p>Diabetes frequently goes unnoticed until it has caused organ or nerve damage, partly because early-stage diagnosis is challenging and time-consuming.</p>
<p>An international team of researchers headed by Associate Professor Dr. Johannes Dietrich from the Department of Medicine I of Ruhr University Bochum at St. Josef Hospital in Bochum, Germany, has shown that a mathematical calculation based on just two values taken from a blood sample enables the reliable and inexpensive diagnosis of diabetes at an early stage. The researchers recently published their findings in the Journal of Diabetes.</p>
<h4>Diabetes often remains long undetected</h4>
<p>“Thirty percent of all people who suffer from diabetes haven’t yet been diagnosed and, consequently, don’t receive any treatment,” points out Johannes Dietrich. This is partly due to the fact that it’s not easy to detect the disease at an early stage. “Diabetes sets in gradually, and our diagnostic options are not sensitive enough to detect it; moreover, they aren’t specific enough, meaning that false positive results can also occur,” stresses Dietrich.</p>
<p>Together with his colleagues from Germany, India, Singapore, and the UK, he has researched a new method for the early detection of diabetes. The method, called SPINA Carb, is based on mathematical modeling. All that is required is a blood sample, which is taken in the morning before the patient’s have their breakfast.</p>
<p>Two values measured in the sample are relevant: the <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>insulin</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>Insulin is a hormone that regulates the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is produced by the pancreas and released into the bloodstream when the level of glucose in the blood rises, such as after a meal. Insulin helps to transport glucose from the bloodstream into the cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for later use. Insulin also helps to regulate the metabolism of fat and protein. In individuals with diabetes, their body doesn&#039;t produce enough insulin or doesn&#039;t respond properly to insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels, which can lead to serious health problems if left untreated.</div>

The result is a so-called static disposition index (SPINA-DI).</p>
<h4>More reliable than other markers</h4>
<p>In computer simulations, the research team proved that the new parameter confirms the theory of dynamical compensation, which predicts that Insulin resistance in people with metabolic syndrome is compensated for by the pancreatic beta cells increasing their activity. A subsequent study of three groups of volunteers from the USA, Germany, and India supported this assumption.</p>
<p>“In all three groups, we found that the calculated SPINA-DI correlated with relevant indicators of metabolic function, such as the response to an oral glucose tolerance test,” outlines Johannes Dietrich. On top of that, SPINA-DI proved more reliable than other calculated markers of glucose metabolism and allowed a more accurate diagnosis.</p>
<p>“The new method is not only cost-effective but also precise and reliable,” conclude the authors. “It could complement and, in many cases, even replace more complex established methods.”</p>

<p id="caption-attachment-122402" class="wp-caption-text">Recent research has unveiled that the GDF15 protein may enhance diabetes treatment by reducing glucose synthesis and liver fibrosis, offering a new approach to managing type 2 diabetes and associated metabolic disorders.</p>
<h3>New methods to decrease glucose production in the liver</h3>
<p>A study led by the University of Barcelona and the Biomedical Research Networking Center in Diabetes and Associated Metabolic Disorders (CIBERDEM) uncovered a novel mechanism that could enhance the effectiveness of existing diabetes treatments. This study, which was performed using mice and cell cultures, has the potential to pave new paths for tackling metabolic diseases that represent a significant worldwide health issue.</p>
<p>The study, published in the journal Metabolism, focuses on the GDF15 protein, a factor that is expressed at high levels in many diseases, such as heart failure, cancer, and fatty liver disease. Obese patients also have elevated levels of this protein, but its function is altered and those affected may develop resistance to GDF15 — that is, a reduction in the effectiveness of its activity.</p>
<p>The study is led by Professor Manuel Vázquez-Carrera, from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences of the UB, the Institute of Biomedicine of the UB (IBUB), the Sant Joan de Déu Research Institute (IRSJD) and CIBERDEM. The study also highlights the participation of researchers Patricia Rada and Ángela María Valverde, also collaborators at CIBERDEM, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), and the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM). The work has the collaboration of Professor Walter Wahli of the University of Lausanne (Switzerland), among other experts.</p>
<h4>New alternatives to reduce glucose synthesis in the liver</h4>
<p>“Our study reveals that GDF15 inhibits glucose synthesis in the liver. This pathway plays a decisive role in the generation of hyperglycaemia (increased blood glucose levels) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,” says Professor Manuel Vázquez-Carrera.</p>
<p>“The action of the protein would also help reduce the presence of liver fibrosis, a condition associated with increased mortality in patients with fatty liver disease,” the researcher notes.</p>
<p>The study reveals that mice deficient in GDF15 have glucose intolerance and low levels of AMPK protein in the liver, which is a sensor of energy metabolism in the cell against type 2 diabetes.</p>
<p>Moreover, increased glucose synthesis in the liver (hepatic gluconeogenesis) was also detected in these study models, as well as increased liver fibrosis.</p>
<p>All indications are that all the described alterations were triggered by increased hepatic levels of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) and an SMAD3mediator protein, which are the main inducers of liver fibrosis. Thus, treatment with recombinant CDF15 can activate AMPK and decrease levels of active SMAD3 in mouse liver and in primary hepatocyte cultures.</p>
<p>“In conclusion, the results indicate that GDF15 activates AMPK protein and inhibits hepatic gluconeogenesis and fibrosis through the reduction of the TGF-β1/SMAD3 pathway,” says Vázquez-Carrera.</p>
<p>“These results suggest that modulation of GDF15 levels could be useful to improve the effectiveness of current anti-diabetic treatments, as hepatic gluconeogenesis is key in hyperglycaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and serum TGF-β1 levels are also increased in these patients,” concludes the researcher.</p>

<p>Maintaining balanced lipid levels is essential for good health. Consuming too much fatty food can lead to metabolic disorders like obesity and atherosclerosis, but fats are also a vital part of our diet. When digested, lipids provide the body with crucial building blocks and aid in the absorption of vital vitamins.</p>
<p>In a new study published in the journal Nature, a team of researchers led by Professor Manolis Pasparakis and their collaborators Professor Aleksandra Trifunovic and Professor Christian Frezza at the Excellence Cluster CECAD of the University of Cologne, and Professor Jörg Heeren at the University of Hamburg, report on a new mechanism that regulates the processing and transport of dietary lipids by the intestine.</p>
<h4>Mitochondrial Function in Enterocytes</h4>
<p>The researchers studied the function of mitochondria – organelles acting as powerhouses of the cell – in enterocytes, cells that line the intestine and specialize in the absorption and transport of nutrients from digested food. They found that disruption of mitochondrial function in the intestines of mice caused abnormal accumulation of dietary fat in enterocytes and impaired delivery of lipids to the peripheral organs.</p>
<p>A key finding of the study was that, when mitochondria did not function properly, enterocytes showed impaired packaging and transport of lipids in the form of chylomicrons. Chylomicrons are crucial carriers of dietary fats, and their proper formation and transport are essential for the absorption of nutrients.</p>
<h4>Implications of the Study</h4>
<p>“This discovery marks a significant leap forward in understanding the crucial role of mitochondria in dietary lipid transport and metabolism,” said Dr Chrysanthi Moschandrea, the lead author of the study. The implications of this discovery go beyond the realm of basic research. “These findings provide new perspectives for the better understanding of the gastrointestinal symptoms in patients suffering from mitochondrial disease, and may also lead to new therapeutic approaches,” added Professor Aleksandra Trifunovic.</p>

<p><strong>New study may support heat-based treatment to stimulate self-cooling as new treatment.</strong></p>
<p>People with depression have higher body temperatures, suggesting there could be a mental health benefit to lowering the temperatures of those with the disorder, a new UC San Francisco-led study found.</p>
<p>The study, published on February 5 in <span class="glossaryLink" aria-describedby="tt" data-cmtooltip="

<div class=glossaryItemTitle>Scientific Reports</div>
<div class=glossaryItemBody>Established in 2011, &lt;em&gt;Scientific Report&lt;/em&gt;s is a peer-reviewed open-access scientific mega journal published by Nature Portfolio, covering all areas of the natural sciences. In September 2016, it became the largest journal in the world by number of articles, overtaking &lt;em&gt;PLOS ON&lt;/em&gt;E.</div>
<p>&#8221; data-gt-translate-attributes=&#8221;[{&#8220;attribute&#8221;:&#8221;data-cmtooltip&#8221;, &#8220;format&#8221;:&#8221;html&#8221;}]&#8221; tabindex=&#8221;0&#8243; role=&#8221;link&#8221;>Scientific Reports</span>, doesn’t indicate whether depression raises body temperature or a higher temperature causes depression. It’s also unknown whether the higher body temperature observed in people with depression reflects a decreased ability to self-cool, increased generation of heat from metabolic processes, or a combination of both.</p>
<p>“What if we can track the body temperature of people with depression to time heat-based treatments well?” — Ashley Mason, PhD</p>
<p>Researchers analyzed data from more than 20,000 international participants who wore a device that measures body temperature, and also self-reported their body temperatures and depression symptoms daily. The seven-month study began in early 2020 and included data from 106 countries.</p>
<p>The results showed that with each increasing level of depression symptom severity, participants had higher body temperatures. The body temperature data also showed a trend toward higher depression scores in people whose temperatures had less fluctuation throughout a 24-hour period, but this finding didn’t reach significance.</p>
<h4>Implications for Depression Treatment</h4>
<p>The findings shed light on how a novel depression treatment method might work, said Ashley Mason, PhD, the study’s lead author and associate professor of psychiatry at UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences. A small body of existing, causal studies has found that using hot tubs or saunas can reduce depression, possibly by triggering the body to self-cool, for example, through sweating.</p>
<p>“Ironically, heating people up actually can lead to rebound body temperature lowering that lasts longer than simply cooling people down directly, as through an ice bath,” said Mason, who is also a clinical psychologist at the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Health. “What if we can track the body temperature of people with depression to time heat-based treatments well?”</p>
<p>“To our knowledge, this is the largest study to date to examine the association between body temperature – assessed using both self-report methods and wearable sensors – and depressive symptoms in a geographically broad sample,” added Mason. “Given the climbing rates of depression in the United States, we’re excited by the possibilities of a new avenue for treatment.”</p>
