The superoxide dismutase mimetic manganese [III] tetrakis [5,10,15,20]-benzoic acid porphyrin (MnTBAP) is a potent antioxidant compound that has been shown to limit weight gain during short-term high fat feeding without preventing insulin resistance. However, whether MnTBAP has therapeutic potential
Despite a rising demand for anti-obesity therapeutics, few effective pharmacological options are clinically available that target the synthesis and accumulation of body fat. Moderate inhibition of mammalian glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) with 2-(alkanesulfonamido)benzoic acids has
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPs) that function as negative regulators of the insulin signaling cascade have been identified as novel targets for the therapeutic enhancement of insulin action in insulin resistant disease states. Reducing Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase1B (PTP1B) abundance not only
We have optimized previously discovered benzoic acids 1, which are active as inhibitors of PTP1B and LMW-PTP, two protein tyrosine phosphatases that have emerged as attractive targets for the development of novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Our efforts led
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an important target for obesity treatment and prevention. Soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) converts bioactive epoxy fatty acids (EpFAs) into less active diols. sEH inhibitors (sEHI) are beneficial in many chronic diseases by stabilizing EpFAs. However, roles of sEH and
BACKGROUND
Dietary guidelines generally recommend increasing fish intake and reducing red meat intake for better long-term health. Few studies have compared the metabolic differences between eating meat and fish.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to determine whether there are differences in
Mitochondria affect cerebrovascular tone by activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ (K ATP) channels and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Insulin resistance accompanying obesity causes mitochondrial dysfunction, but the consequences on the cerebral circulation have not been fully
Insulin resistance has wide-ranging effects on metabolism but there are knowledge gaps regarding the tissue origins of systemic metabolite patterns, and how patterns are altered by fitness and metabolic health. To address these questions, plasma metabolite patterns were determined every 5 min during
The NRF2 (also known as NFE2L2) transcription factor is a critical regulator of genes involved in defense against oxidative stress. Previous studies suggest thatNrf2plays a role in adipogenesisin vitro, and deletion of theNrf2gene protects against diet-induced obesity in mice. Here, we demonstrate
The present study aimed to identify key metabolites related to weight reduction in humans by studying the metabolic profiles of sera obtained from 34 participants who underwent dietary intervention with black soybean peptides (BSP) for 12 weeks. This research is a sequel to our previous work in
Objective: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are viewed as a major potential link between the environment and obesity development. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the association between exposure to EDCs and
This study addressed the hypothesis that inhibiting the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH)-mediated degradation of epoxy-fatty acids, notably epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, has an additional impact against cardiovascular damage in insulin resistance, beyond its previously demonstrated beneficial effect on
Insulin resistance is a complex altered metabolic condition characterized by impaired insulin signaling and implicated in the pathogenesis of serious human diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative pathologies. In pursuing our aim to identify new agents able to improve cellular insulin
Inhibition of 11β-HSD1 is viewed as a potential target for the treatment of obesity and other elements of the metabolic syndrome. We report here the optimization of a carboxylic acid class of inhibitors from AZD4017 (1) to the development candidate AZD8329 (27). A structural change from pyridine to
Repaglinide, a carbamoylmethyl benzoic acid derivative, is rapidly absorbed, metabolized by the liver and eliminated primarily via the bile. It has a short duration of action and is taken immediately before each main meal. This regimen has been shown to provide superior glycaemic control compared
