Discussion This high-throughput proteomics approach identified a three-protein signature, namely CDCP1, SIRT2 and LEPR, significantly associated with baseline CES-D score and persistently elevated or recurrent depressive symptoms in individuals with recent-onset diabetes. The positive association of CDCP1 and SIRT2 and the inverse association of LEPR with baseline and persistent/recurrent depressive symptoms were independent of confounding […]

Based on popular demand this episode, originally aired in August 2023, is […]
Read MoreInsulin regulates glucose uptake and metabolism in muscle via the insulin receptor. Here, we show that Lrtm1 (leucine-rich repeat and transmembrane domain 1), a protein of unknown function enriched in insulin-responsive metabolic tissues, senses changes in insulin signaling in muscle and serves as a regulator of metabolic response. Thus, whole-body Lrtm1-deficient mice exhibit a reduced […]

This special episode is […]
Read MoreSodium–glucose transporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) drugs are widely used for lowering blood glucose levels independent of insulin. Beyond this, these drugs induce various metabolic changes, including weight loss and impaired bone integrity. A significant gap exists in understanding SGLT2i-induced skeletal changes, as SGLT2 is not expressed in osteoblasts or osteocytes, which use glucose to remodel the […]

Discussion This study demonstrated excellent predictive capabilities for DSME engagement through the utilization of ML models. Among the ML models evaluated, our results indicated that RF has the best performance for DSME prediction, with an AUC of 94% and an accuracy of 85%. Additionally, we identified 74 of 95 variables as key variables, and racial/ethnic […]
