Hyperuricemia is a prevalent metabolic illness and an established risk factor for gout and chronic renal disease. Present urate-lowering medications are often limited by side effects, highlighting the necessity for innovative strategies. The gut microbiota has a role in urate homeostasis; however...
The Krebs cycle-derived metabolite itaconate, whose production is catalyzed by immune response gene 1 (IRG1), has excellent potential to link immunity and metabolism in activated macrophages through alkylation or competitive inhibition of target proteins. In support of this, our previous study de...
OBJECTIVE: Brown adipose tissue (BAT) burns fatty acids (FAs) to produce heat, and shows diurnal oscillation in glucose and triglyceride (TG)-derived FA-uptake, peaking around wakening. Here we aimed to gain insight in the diurnal regulation of metabolic BAT activity.
