Summary: This study found that intermittent energy restriction (IER) was more beneficial for short-term weight loss and metabolic improvements in adults with overweight or obesity compared to continuous energy restriction (CER). Furthermore, longer randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: Objective: The study aimed to determine the association between rate of gestational weight gain (rGWG) and glucose-insulin metabolism in Hispanic pregnant women with overweight and obesity. The findings revealed that rGWG was inversely associated with beta-cell function in a high-risk population of Hispanic pregnant women with overweight and obesity, potentially contributing to the development of type 2 diabetes.

Summary: This study examines the effects of circadian disruption on metabolism in both mice and humans. The results show that circadian disruption, even in the absence of significant sleep loss, has a negative impact on glucose metabolism in individuals consuming a high-fat diet. Reducing dietary fat intake may help protect against the metabolic consequences of chronic circadian disruption.

Summary: We conducted an umbrella review that consolidated evidence on the effects of plant-based diets on anthropometric and cardiometabolic outcomes. Seven systematic reviews with meta-analysis representing 51 primary studies were included. The findings suggested significant benefits of plant-based diets on weight, body mass index, waist circumference, fasting blood glucose, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, caution should be exercised in interpreting the results due to the low credibility of evidence and the limited generalizability of findings based on Western eating habits and traditions.

Summary: This study investigated a novel glucose-lowering medication, tolimidone (MLR-1023), and its synergy with menthol in weight management and metabolic control. Results demonstrated that MLR-1023 effectively reduces body weight and promotes thermogenesis, showing promising efficacy in both humans and mice.

Summary: The combination of Clostridium cochlearium and Lactobacillus acidophilus showed beneficial effects on body weight control and glucose metabolism in high-fat diet-induced obese mice. This effect was potentially mediated by the modulation of gut microbiota, leading to reduced obesity and improved glucose homeostasis.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the trimester specific gestational weight gain (GWG) in Indian pregnant women and compare it with international and Indian reference data. The study found that Indian women had lower GWG compared to international standards, but higher GWG compared to Indian reference data. Maternal BMI, age, parity, hemoglobin concentrations, and height were found to be associated with GWG.

Summary: In preclinical models, both risperidone and paliperidone exhibited significant dose-dependent metabolic side effects in rats, including increased fasting glucose levels and insulin resistance. The differences between the two drugs were modest, with the most notable effect being on fasting glucose levels. Both drugs showed a dose-dependent decrease in the glucose infusion rate in the clamp test, indicating pronounced insulin resistance.

Summary: Metabolic flexibility is impaired in obese youth with dysglycemia, resulting from a defect in insulin sensitivity that limits substrate utilization. Factors such as fat-free mass, suppression of free fatty acids, and race/ethnicity contribute to the variance in metabolic flexibility.

Summary: Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health, with Gram-negative bacteria presenting unique challenges due to their low permeability and efflux pumps. Limited understanding of the chemical rules for overcoming these barriers hinders antibacterial drug discovery. Efforts to address this issue, such as screening compound libraries and using cheminformatic analysis, have led to the design of sulfamidoadenosines with diverse substituents, showing potential utility in accumulation in Escherichia coli.

Summary: This study successfully developed a short peptide mimetic as a MERS-CoV fusion inhibitor by reproducing the key recognition features of the HR2 helix. The resulting 23-mer lipopeptide showed comparable inhibitory effect to the 36-mer HR2 peptide HR2P-M2. This has important implications for developing short peptide-based antiviral agents to treat MERS-CoV infection.

Summary: Beta(2)-adrenergic receptor agonists can stimulate glucose uptake by skeletal muscle cells and are therefore potential treatments for type 2 diabetes. The chirality of compounds has a significant impact on the activity of these agonists. This study found that certain synthesized compounds showed higher glucose uptake activity. These findings provide important information for the design of novel beta(2)AR agonists for T2D treatment.

Summary: The study focuses on EZH2, a promising therapeutic target for various types of cancers. Researchers designed and synthesized a series of novel derivatives aiming to enhance the EZH2 inhibition activity. Among them, compound 28 displayed potent EZH2 inhibition activity and showed high anti-proliferative effects in lymphoma cell lines and xenograft mouse models. The study suggests that compound 28 has potential as a therapeutic candidate for EZH2-associated cancers.
