In patients with diabetes, nerve injury is a common complication that leads to chronic pain,
numbness and substantial loss of quality of life. Good glycemic control can decrease the …

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors and they serve to
be a promising therapeutic target for several neurodegenerative disorders, which includes …

Insulin resistance plays a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes, including gestational
diabetes. The glucose clamp is considered the gold standard for determining in vivo insulin …

Elevated C-terminal fibroblast growth factor 23 (C-FGF23) concentrations have been
reported in Gambian children with and without putative Ca-deficiency rickets. The aims of …

Retinoid X receptor (RXR) belongs to a family of ligand-activated transcription factors that
regulate many aspects of metazoan life. A class of nuclear receptors requires RXR as …

Evidence indicating that adult type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with increased fracture
risk continues to mount. Unlike osteoporosis, diabetic fractures are associated with obesity …

Glycerol, a product of adipose tissue lipolysis, is an important substrate for hepatic glucose
synthesis. However, little is known about the regulation of hepatic glycerol metabolism. Here …

Green tea contains a high level of polyphenolic compounds known as catechins. We
investigated the effects of green tea extract (GTE), which is rich in catechins, on endurance …

A high-protein diet can reduce body weight and increase insulin sensitivity, but whether the
type of dietary protein affects these outcomes is unknown. We hypothesized that feeding …

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are dietary lipid sensors that
regulate fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism. The hypolipidemic effects of fibrate drugs …
