#Fructose reprogrammes glutamine-dependent oxidative metabolism to support LPS-induced inflammation
https://2medical.news/2021/02/28/fructose-reprogrammes-glutamine-dependent-oxidative-metabolism-to-support-lps-induced-inflammation/
Fructose intake has increased substantially throughout the developed world and is associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Currently, our understanding of the metabolic and mechanistic implications for immune cells, such as monocytes and macrophages, exposed to elevated levels of dietary fructose is limited. Here, we show that fructose reprograms cellular metabolic pathways to favour glutaminolysis and oxidative metabolism, which are …

Adherent-invasive E. coli metabolism of propanediol in #Crohn’s disease regulates phagocytes to drive intestinal #inflammation
https://2medical.news/2021/02/25/adherent-invasive-e-coli-metabolism-of-propanediol-in-crohns-disease-regulates-phagocytes-to-drive-intestinal-inflammation/
Adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC) are enriched in the intestinal microbiota of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and promote intestinal inflammation. Yet, how AIEC metabolism of nutrients impacts intestinal homeostasis is poorly defined. Here, we show that AIEC encoding the large subunit of propanediol dehydratase (PduC), which facilitates the utilization of fucose fermentation product 1,2-propanediol, are increased in the microbiome of CD patients and drive AIEC-induced …

Association of #PET-based #estradiol-challenge test for #breast cancer progesterone receptors with response to endocrine therapy
https://2medical.news/2021/02/23/association-of-pet-based-estradiol-challenge-test-for-breast-cancer-progesterone-receptors-with-response-to-endocrine-therapy/
Estrogen receptor (ER) testing of breast cancer imperfectly predicts response to endocrine therapy (ET). We hypothesize that a brief estradiol challenge will increase tumor progesterone receptor (PgR) levels only in tumors with functional ER. In this prospective, phase 2, single-center, single-arm trial (NCT02455453), we report the association of response to ET with change in tumor uptake of the progestin analog, 21-[18F]fluorofuranylnorprogesterone (FFNP), before and after …

Dietary recommendations regarding protein intake have been focused on the amount of protein. However, such recommendations without considering specific protein sources may be simplistic and insufficient. Methods and Results We included 102 521 postmenopausal women enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative between 1993 and 1998, and followed them through February 2017. During 1 876 205 person‐years of follow‐up, 25 976 deaths occurred. Comparing the highest …
Clinical and Biological Correlates of White Matter Hyperintensities in Patients with #Behavioral-variant Frontotemporal #Dementia and #Alzheimer Disease
https://2medical.news/2021/02/27/clinical-and-biological-correlates-of-white-matter-hyperintensities-in-patients-with-behavioral-variant-frontotemporal-dementia-and-alzheimer-disease/
To test the hypothesis that white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and Alzheimer disease (AD) are associated with disease variables such as disease severity, cortical atrophy and cognition, we conducted a cross-sectional brain MRI study with volumetric and voxel-wise analyses. Methods: 129 patients (64 bvFTD, 65 AD) and 66 controls underwent high-resolution brain MRI, clinical and neuropsychological examination. Genetic screening was conducted …
#Personality pathways to mortality: Interleukin-6 links conscientiousness to #mortality risk
https://2medical.news/2021/02/26/personality-pathways-to-mortality-interleukin-6-links-conscientiousness-to-mortality-risk/
Personality is associated consistently with mortality hazards, but the physiological pathways are not yet clear. Immune system dysregulation may be one such pathway due to its role in age-related morbidity and mortality. In this preregistered study, we tested whether interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) mediated the associations between personality traits and mortality hazards. The sample included 957 participants (M ± SD = 58.65 ± …

Elastin-like recombinamers-based #hydrogel modulates post-ischemic remodeling in a non-transmural myocardial #infarction in sheep
https://2medical.news/2021/02/23/elastin-like-recombinamers-based-hydrogel-modulates-post-ischemic-remodeling-in-a-non-transmural-myocardial-infarction-in-sheep/
Ischemic heart disease is a leading cause of mortality due to irreversible damage to cardiac muscle. Inspired by the post-ischemic microenvironment, we devised an extracellular matrix (ECM)–mimicking hydrogel using catalyst-free click chemistry covalent bonding between two elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs). The resulting customized hydrogel included functional domains for cell adhesion and protease cleavage sites, sensitive to cleavage by matrix metalloproteases overexpressed after myocardial infarction (MI). The …
#Physical activity may not be associated with long‐term risk of #dementia and #Alzheimer’s disease
https://2medical.news/2021/02/22/physical-activity-may-not-be-associated-with-long%E2%80%90term-risk-of-dementia-and-alzheimers-disease/
While it is well established that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of vascular and nonvascular outcomes as well as mortality, evidence on the association between physical activity and dementia is inconsistent. We aimed to assess the associations of physical activity with the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Material and methods We analysed data on 2394 apparently healthy men with good baseline …
