    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Obesity may leave lasting biological changes in adipose tissue that keep levels of the hunger hormone asprosin elevated, potentially contributing to weight regain and increased obesity susceptibility in offspring, new preclinical research suggested. “We found that obesity leaves a lasting ‘memory’ in fat cells that keeps the hunger hormone asprosin turned on, even after weight is lost,” senior author Atul Chopra, MD, PhD, investigator and associate director of the Harrington Rare Disease Program

Incipient immune signatures of future IBD, silently underway, may be detectable through broad serologic testing as far back as 10 years before diagnosis, offering new insights into the disease’s prodromal phase and a potential path toward earlier identification of high-risk patients. “For practicing clinicians, the main message is that IBD should increasingly be viewed no

    GLP-1s have revolutionized the weight-loss landscape, providing effective treatments that can reduce body weight by 15%-25% in patients with obesity within the first year of use. But the GLP-1 era is characterized by a contradiction. Clinicians are witnessing a rapidly expanding population of patients using these medications alongside a substantial number of patients who could potentially benefit but are not receiving them.

    Traditional Chinese Medicines Plus Metformin Improve A1c (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    HTD1801, an investigational oral combination of berberine and ursodeoxycholate, significantly reduced A1c when added to metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) whose glucose levels remained inadequately controlled with metformin alone, according to results from a phase 3 trial. “For clinicians managing T2D, the key takeaway is that HTD1801 offers a comprehensive approach to patient care,” lead author Linong Ji, MD, of Peking University People’s Hospital, Beijing, China, and senior autho
