This study was investigated to explore how body protein and amino acid metabolism …

In the past decades, glucocorticoid (GC) hormones and their cognate, intracellular receptor,
the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), have been well established as critical checkpoints in …

Betaine has been proven effective in treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in
animal models, however, its molecular mechanisms remain elusive. The aims of this study …

Fructose consumption, which promotes insulin resistance, hypertension, and dyslipidemia,
has increased by over 25% since the 1970s. In addition to metabolic dysregulation, fructose …

A positive relationship between obesity and asthma has been well documented. The AMP-
