Liver fibrosis is the result of sustained chronic liver injury and inflammation leading to hepatocyte cell death followed by formation fibrous scars, which hallmark NASH alcoholic steatohepatitis can lead cirrhosis, HCC, failure. Although progress has been made in understanding pathogenesis clinical consequences hepatic fibrosis, therapeutic strategies for this disease are limited. Preclinical studies suggest that peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha plays an important role preventing development activating genes involved detoxifying lipotoxicity toxins, transrepressing inflammation, inhibiting activation stellate cells. Given robust preclinical data, several agonists have tested trials fibrosis. Here, we provide update on recent mechanisms prevents discuss potential targeting PPARα antifibrotic treatments.

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease driven by traditional and nontraditional risk factors. Genome-wide association combined with clonal lineage tracing clinical trials have demonstrated that innate adaptive immune responses can promote or quell atherosclerosis. Several signaling pathways, are associated the response, been implicated within atherosclerosis such as NLRP3 inflammasome, toll-like receptors, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, Notch Wnt which of importance for development regression. Targeting especially inflammasome pathway its regulated cytokine interleukin-1β, could represent an attractive new route treatment atherosclerotic diseases. Herein, we summarize knowledge on cellular participants key pathways in atherosclerosis, discuss preclinical studies targeting these going to target some processes, effects quelling inflammation clinic.

Summary Background Pemafibrate is a novel, selective peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor α modulator (SPPARMα). In mice, improved the histological features of non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). patients with dyslipidaemia, it serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Aims To evaluate efficacy and safety in high‐risk, fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods This double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, randomised multicentre, phase 2 trial 118 (1:1) to either 0.2 mg or placebo, orally, twice daily for 72 weeks. The key inclusion criteria included fat content ≥10% by magnetic resonance imaging‐estimated proton density fraction (MRI‐PDFF); stiffness ≥2.5 kPa, elastography (MRE); elevated ALT levels. primary endpoint was percentage change MRI‐PDFF from baseline week 24. secondary endpoints MRE‐based stiffness, ALT, fibrosis markers lipid parameters. Results There no significant difference between groups (−5.3% vs −4.2%; treatment −1.0%, P = 0.85). However, significantly decreased compared placebo at 48 (treatment −5.7%, 0.036), maintained −6.2%, 0.024), reduction LDL‐C. Adverse events were comparable therapy well tolerated. Conclusions did not decrease but had stiffness. may be promising therapeutic agent NAFLD/NASH, also candidate combination agents that reduce content. ClinicalTrials.gov, number: NCT03350165.

There is growing body links NAFLD/NASH pathogenesis mechanisms through lipid accumulation, insulin resistance, inflammation, apoptosis, fibrogenic remodelling within liver. The frequent co‐occurrence NAFLD with obesity, syndrome type 2 diabetes supports this premise. Therapeutic originally envisaged for or obesity (such glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists, sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors, sensitizers bariatric surgery) have shown promising signs benefit patients NAFLD/NASH.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic that affects approximately one-quarter of global adult population, posing a significant threat to human health with wide-ranging social and economic implications. The main characteristic NAFLD considered excessive fat accumulated deposited in hepatocytes without excess alcohol intake or some other pathological causes. progressive disease, ranging from steatosis non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, transplantation, death. Therefore, will probably emerge as leading cause end-stage coming decades. Unlike highly diseases, has received little attention public community. Liver biopsy currently gold standard for diagnosis staging because absence noninvasive specific biomarkers. Due complex pathophysiological mechanisms heterogeneity phenotype, no pharmacological therapies have been approved at present, although several drugs are advanced stages development. This review summarizes current evidence on pathogenesis, treatment NAFLD.

Abstract The prevalence of cardiomyopathy is higher in diabetic patients than those without diabetes. Diabetic (DCM) defined as a clinical condition abnormal myocardial structure and performance other cardiac risk factors, such coronary artery disease, hypertension, significant valvular disease. Multiple molecular events contribute to the development DCM, which include alterations energy metabolism (fatty acid, glucose, ketone branched chain amino acids) abnormalities subcellular components heart, impaired insulin signaling, increased oxidative stress, calcium mishandling inflammation. There are no specific drugs treating DCM despite decades basic investigations. This is, part, due lack our understanding how heart failure initiates develops, especially an underlying ischemic cause. Some traditional anti-diabetic or lipid-lowering agents aimed at shifting balance from utilizing fat glucose have been shown inadequately targeting multiple aspects conditions. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), transcription factor, plays important role mediating DCM-related events. Pharmacological PPARα activation has demonstrated be one strategies for with diabetes, metabolic syndrome, atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. aim this review provide contemporary view association pathophysiological changes DCM.

The initial pathophysiology includes damage vascular endothelial cells pericytes. Ensuing hypoxic responses trigger expression growth factor (VEGF) other pro-angiogenic factors. At present, most effective treatment for diabetic macular edema (DME) control blood glucose levels. More advanced cases require laser, anti-VEGF therapy, steroid, vitrectomy. Pan-retinal photocoagulation non-proliferative (NPDR) well established has demonstrated promising outcomes preventing progressive stage DR.

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) plays an important role in the formation, incidence, and development of atherosclerosis (AS). lipoproteins can be divided into two categories: large light LDL-C small, dense low-density (sdLDL-C). In recent years, increasing number studies have shown that sdLDL-C has a strong ability to cause AS because its unique characteristics, such as having small-sized particles low density. Therefore, this become focus further research. However, specific mechanisms regarding involvement not been fully explained. This paper reviews possible by reviewing relevant literature years.
