Glucokinase activators (GKAs) are an emerging class of glucose lowering drugs that activate the glucose-sensing enzyme glucokinase (GK). Pending formal cardiovascular outcome trials, we applied two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR) to investigate the impact of GK activation on risk of cardiovascular diseases. We used independent genetic variants in or around the glucokinase gene meanwhile associ...... hiện toàn bộ
Direct regulation of the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) by O-GlcNAcylationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 1-11 - 2023

O-GlcNAcylation is the enzymatic addition of a sugar, O-linked β-N-Acetylglucosamine, to the serine and threonine residues of proteins, and is abundant in diabetic conditions. We have previously shown that O-GlcNAcylation can trigger arrhythmias by indirectly increasing pathological Ca2+ leak through the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) via Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII). However, R...... hiện toàn bộ
The association of higher levels of within-normal-limits liver enzymes and the prevalence of the metabolic syndromeSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2010
Arie Steinvil, Itzhak Shapira, Orit Kliuk Ben-Bassat, Michael Cohen, Yaffa Vered, Shlomo Berliner, Ori Rogowski
AbstractBackgroundMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is frequently characterized by elevated liver enzymes, including gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Our objective was to evaluate the range of prevalence of MetS in apparently healthy individuals whose liver enzyme concentrations were all within-normal-r...... hiện toàn bộ
Liraglutide preserves CD34+ stem cells from dysfunction Induced by high glucose exposureSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 - Trang 1-16 - 2022

Glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have shown to reduce mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Since the impairment in number and function of vasculotrophic circulating CD34+ hematopoietic stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) in T2D has been reported to increase cardiovascular (CV) risk, we hypothesized that one of the mechanisms whereby GL...... hiện toàn bộ
Liraglutide dictates macrophage phenotype in apolipoprotein E null mice during early atherosclerosisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 16 - Trang 1-13 - 2017

Macrophages play a pivotal role in atherosclerotic plaque development. Recent evidence has suggested the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, liraglutide, can attenuate pro-inflammatory responses in macrophages. We hypothesized that liraglutide could limit atherosclerosis progression in vivo via modulation of the inflammatory response. Human THP-1 macrophages and bone marrow-derived ...... hiện toàn bộ
General versus central adiposity as risk factors for cardiovascular-related outcomes in a high-risk population with type 2 diabetes: a post hoc analysis of the REWIND trialSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 Số 1

Abstract
Background
In clinical practice, anthropometric measures other than BMI are rarely assessed yet may be more predictive of cardiovascular (CV) risk. We analyzed the placebo group of the REWIND CV Outcomes Trial to compare several anthropometric measures as baseline risk factors for cardiovas...... hiện toàn bộ
Circulating levels of AGEs and soluble RAGE isoforms are associated with all-cause mortality and development of cardiovascular complications in type 2 diabetes: a retrospective cohort studySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 21 Số 1

Abstract
Background
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and their interaction with the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) play a pivotal role in the development and progression of type 2 diabetes. In this retrospective cohort study, we explored the association of circulating leve...... hiện toàn bộ

Cardiovascular morbidity, diabetes and cancer risk among children and adolescents with severe obesitySpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 Số 1 - 2020

AbstractSevere obesity among children and adolescents is a significant global public health concern. The prevalence has markedly increased over the last decades, becoming common in many countries. Overwhelming rates of obesity among youth have prompted efforts to identify an evidence-based immediate- and long-term cardiometabolic risk factor profile in childhood-on...... hiện toàn bộ
