Read MoremiR-494 Deletion Improves Glucose Metabolism Independently of Obesity in Mice
The browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) enhances thermogenesis and represents a promising approach for combating obesity and metabolic disorders. miRNA-494 (miR-494) acts as a suppressor of browning in cultured adipocytes via regulation of peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor γ coactivator 1α, and its inhibition is expected to promote browning and thereby improve obesity and metabolic disorders. […]
Read MoreMitochondrial mGPDH Modulates Fibroblast Function in Diabetic Wound Healing via the SIRT1–c-Myc–TGF-β1 Axis
Fibroblasts play a pivotal role in wound healing, particularly during the proliferative and remodeling phase, where they migrate to the injury site, proliferate, and synthesize essential extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and fibronectin (FN). However, fibroblast functionality is compromised because of factors such as vascular dysfunction and oxidative stress in diabetic wounds, leading […]
Read MoreToward Scientific Rigor: Setting Standards for Indirect Calorimetry Analysis and Reporting
Indirect calorimetry determines energy expenditure by measuring respiratory gas exchange. The approach is based on the principle that nutrient metabolism consumes O2 and produces CO2 and water in predictable ratios that can be compared with heat production. Due to the impracticality and high cost of direct calorimetry, indirect calorimetry is the major approach for modern […]
