Statins, inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A, are widely used to treat hypercholesterolemia. In addition, statins have been suggested reduce the risk cardiovascular events owing their pleiotropic effects on vascular system, including vasodilation, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation, anti-oxidation, and inhibition smooth muscle cell proliferation. The major beneficial effect in maintaining homeostasis is induction nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability by activating endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) cells. mechanisms underlying increased eNOS activation well-established various fields, transcriptional post-transcriptional regulation, kinase-dependent phosphorylation protein-protein interactions. However, mechanism which affect metabolism L-arginine, a precursor biosynthesis, has rarely discussed. Autophagy, crucial for energy homeostasis, regulates functions, production angiogenesis, potential therapeutic target diseases. this review, addition summarizing molecular statins, we also discuss L-arginine.

The inflammatory microenvironment involves changes in pH and protein phosphorylation state is closely related to the occurrence development of atherosclerosis (AS). Herein, we constructed a dual-detection fluorescence nanosensor PCN-NP-HPZ based on post modification MOFs, which realized simultaneous detection imaging through pH-sensitive group piperazine ZrIV node MOFs. sensors were used monitor blood phosphate levels at different time stages during atherosclerotic plaque formation. Two-photon was also performed vascular endothelium. Blood tests combined with two-photon images indicated that early stage AS, tissue lower than normal mice, while higher mice. present study provides new analysis method for assessment disease.

Insulin resistance is the main mechanism in a whole series of pathological conditions, which are not only metabolic interest but also systemic type. This phenomenon means that body’s cells become less sensitive to hormone insulin, leading higher levels insulin blood. can be found both men and women particular, latter, it mainly after menopause. Premenopause, hormonal fluctuations during menstrual cycle, presence estrogen affect sensitivity. Androgens, such as testosterone, typically contribute resistance. In sexes, different human body types distribution location fat, influencing development diabetes cardiovascular disease. associated with some neurological neurogenerative disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, atherosclerosis, neoplastic pathologies.

Abstract The metabolism of glucose and lipids is essential for energy production in the body, dysregulation metabolic pathways these molecules implicated various acute chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, atherosclerosis (AS), obesity, tumor, sepsis. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) proteins, which involve addition or removal covalent functional groups, play a crucial role regulating protein structure, localization function, activity. Common PTMs include phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, methylation, glycosylation. Emerging evidence indicates that are significant modulating lipid by modifying key enzymes proteins. In this review, we summarize current understanding regulatory mechanisms metabolism, with focus on their involvement disease progression associated aberrant metabolism. Furthermore, discuss future prospects PTMs, highlighting potential gaining deeper insights into related diseases.

In recent years, researchers have become focused on the relationship between lipids and bone metabolism balance. Moreover, many diseases related to lipid disorders, such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, atherosclerosis, obesity, menopause, are associated with osteoporotic phenotypes. It has been clinically observed in humans that these disorders promote changes osteoporosis-related indicators mineral density mass. Furthermore, similar phenotype were high-fat high-cholesterol-induced animal models. Abnormal (such increased oxidized elevated plasma cholesterol) affects microenvironment homeostasis via cross-organ communication, promoting differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells adipocytes, inhibiting commitment towards osteoblasts. disturbances affect balance by secretion cytokines receptor activator nuclear factor-kappa B ligand osteoblasts stimulating osteoclasts. Conclusively, this review addresses possible link osteoporosis elucidates potential modulatory mechanisms signaling pathways which We also summarize approaches prospects intervening for treatment.
