Neohesperidin Enhances PGC-1α-Mediated Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Alleviates Hepatic Steatosis in High Fat Diet Fed Mice

Neohesperidin (NHP) elevated hepatic mitochondrial biogenesis and fatty acid oxidation by increasing PGC-1α expression. The activation of AMP-activated protein kinase was involved in NHP induced PGC-1α expression.

Identification of an Anti-Diabetic, Orally Available Small Molecule that Regulates TXNIP Expression and Glucagon Action

In rat cells and in mouse and human islets, SRI-37330 inhibited expression and signaling of thioredoxin-interacting protein, previously found to be elevated in diabetes and to have detrimental effects on islet function.

Gemfibrozil Induces Anemia, Leukopenia and Reduces Hematopoietic Stem Cells via PPAR-α in Mice

Investigators analyzed bone marrow and found that gemfibrozil reduced erythrocytes and hematopoietic stem cells in wild-type mice but not in PPAR-alpha-knockout mice, while increased colony-forming units were observed only in wild-type mice treated with gemfibrozil.
