“…The improvement of diastolic dysfunction and heart failure might also play an important role. This was reflected by a significant decrease in the level of the BNP from 115.4 (quartiles 62.0–150.6) to 52.4 (20.4–95.9) pg/ml (p < 0.001), an increase of the distance of 6-minute walk test from 260 (195–300) to 550 (415–600) m (p < 0.001), as well as improvement of some LV diastolic function parameters at 6 months. …”

Oral Sulforaphane Intervention Protects Against Diabetic Cardiomyopathy in db/db Mice: Focus on Cardiac Lipotoxicity and Substrate Metabolism by Pan Wang, Ziling Wang, Xinyuan Jin, Mengdi Zhang, Mengfan Shen, Dan Li

“…These results suggest that chronic oral SFN-I protects against DCM by mitigating overall metabolic dysregulation and inhibiting cardiolipotoxicity. The latter might involve controlling cardiac fatty acid metabolism and improving mitochondrial function, rather than promoting glucose metabolism.…”

Peripheral Mechanisms Underlying Bacillus Calmette–Guerin-Induced Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) by Meera Elmasri, Aaron Clark, Luke Grundy

“…This review provides novel insights into the potential mechanisms underlying BCG-induced LUTS, focusing on the integrated roles of afferent and efferent nerves in both normal and pathological bladder sensation and function. Specifically, this review examines how the body’s response to BCG—through the development of inflammation, increased urothelial permeability, and altered urothelial signalling—might contribute to LUTS development. …”

Single‐cell profiling screen identifies microtubule‐dependent reduction of variability in signaling by C Gustavo Pesce, Stefan Zdraljevic, William J Peria, Alan Bush, María Victoria Repetto, Daniel Rockwell, Richard C Yu, Alejandro Colman‐Lerner, Roger Brent

“…Three genes affected cytoplasmic microtubule function: BIM1, GIM2, and GIM4. We used genetic and chemical perturbations to show that, without microtubules, PRS output is reduced but variability is unaffected, while, when microtubules are present but their function is perturbed, output is sometimes lowered, but its variability is always high. …”

Alteration of phycobilisome excitation energy transfer properties in response to attenuations in peripheral electron flow by Zhanjun Guo, Sharon L. Smolinski, Paul W. King, Carolyn E. Lubner

“…The compositional differences between these two forms of PBS and their specificity for RCs have led to suggestions that they may differ in function. To address this question, we examined how PBS-RC interactions, and the transfer of excitation energy from PBS to RCs, might be adjusted under conditions where electron demand and photon availability are modulated. …”
