Journal: Partial impairment of insulin receptor expression mimics fasting to prevent diet-induced fatty liver disease. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 30, 2020 Consistently, and unlike in control mice, the PPARα activator fenofibrate fails to further affect hepatic lipid accumulation in PerIRKO mice. Taken together, and opposing previously established diabetogenic features of insulin resistance, incomplete impairment of insulin signaling may mimic central aspects of calorie restriction to limit hepatic lipid accumulation during conditions of metabolic stress.

Clinical, Journal: A potential role of triple therapy for asthma patients. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 29, 2020 We believe that it is appropriate to treat with triple therapy asthmatic patients who have smoked and remain symptomatic or suffer from frequent exacerbations despite initial inhaler therapy with ICS/LABA. However, we must establish when to step up or mainly step down triple therapy especially in patients who are well controlled, and what will be the cost of these combinations in the management of asthma.

Journal: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α agonist and all-trans retinoic acid induce epithelial differentiation of subcutaneous adipose-derived stem cells from debrided burn skin. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 21, 2020 This study demonstrates that adipose-derived stem cells from debrided skin (dsASCs) of burn patients can be isolated in sufficient quantities and differentiated into cytokeratin-expressing cells by treating them with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPARα) specific activator fenofibrate...Collectively this study shows that dsASCs can be differentiated to skin epithelial cells, without the requirement for exogenous growth factors. This differentiation protocol using dsASCs in combination with an appropriate biocompatible scaffold can be adapted to develop epithelial skin substitute for burn wound treatment.

Journal: Fenofibrate induces PPARα and BMP2 expression to stimulate osteoblast differentiation. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 21, 2020 Taken together, we suggest that fenofibrate has a stimulatory effect on osteoblast differentiation via the elevation of PPARα levels and the PPARα-mediated BMP2 expression. Our findings provide fenofibrate as a useful agent for controlling hypercholesterolemic patients with osteoporosis.

Journal: Fasting enhances cold resistance in fish through stimulating lipid catabolism and autophagy. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 10, 2020 Repression of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway by rapamycin largely mimicked the beneficial effects of fasting in promoting cold resistance, suggesting mTOR signaling may be involved in the fasting-induced cold resistance in fish. Our study demonstrates that fasting may be a protective strategy for fish to survive under cold stress.

Journal: Preparation and Characterization of Fenofibrate-Loaded PVP Electrospun Microfibrous Sheets. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 8, 2020 The dramatic increase in dissolution was attributed partially to the amorphous form of the originally crystalline active agent and the rapid disintegration of the electrospun microfibrous sheet due to its high surface area and porosity. The obtained results could pave the way for a formulation of the frequently used antihyperlipidemic agent with increased bioavailability.

[VIRTUAL] Real-Life Treatment Patterns and Burden of Disease Among Patients with COPD - A Large Observational Study (ATS 2020 Virtual) - Jul 6, 2020 - Abstract #ATSI2020ATS-I_4193; CONCLUSIONS In this real-life study, including incident and prevalent cases with a registered COPD diagnosis, more than two thirds of patients had no claims of any maintenance treatment at index. Exacerbation frequency was considerable during the year post index, indicating a remaining unmet medical need in the diagnosis and management of COPD.
