TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, albiglutide was superior to placebo with respect to major adverse cardiovascular events, and evidence-based glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists should be considered as part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.

TL;DR: This review will discuss recent studies in both humans and animal models of NAFLD that have implicated increases in hepatic diacylglycerol content leading to activation of novel protein kinase Cϵ (PKCϵ) resulting in decreased insulin signaling in the pathogenesis ofNAFLD‐associated hepatic insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Preliminary data suggest that people with obesity are at increased risk of severe COVID-19, but as data on metabolic parameters in patients with CO VID-19 are scarce, increased reporting is needed to improve understanding of the drug and the care of affected patients.
Abstract: Preliminary data suggest that people with obesity are at increased risk of severe COVID-19. However, as data on metabolic parameters (such as BMI and levels of glucose and insulin) in patients with COVID-19 are scarce, increased reporting is needed to improve our understanding of COVID-19 and the care of affected patients.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present guidelines for the management of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), which is a pathological process characterized by atherosclerotic plaque accumulation in the epicardial arteries.
Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a pathological process characterized by atherosclerotic plaque accumulation in the epicardial arteries, whether obstructive or non-obstructive. This process can be modified by lifestyle adjustments, pharmacological therapies, and invasive interventions designed to achieve disease stabilization or regression. The disease can have long, stable periods but can also become unstable at any time, typically due to an acute atherothrombotic event caused by plaque rupture or erosion. However, the disease is chronic, most often progressive, and hence serious, even in clinically apparently silent periods. The dynamic nature of the CAD process results in various clinical presentations, which can be conveniently categorized as either acute coronary syndromes (ACS) or chronic coronary syndromes (CCS). The Guidelines presented here refer to the management of patients with CCS. The natural history of CCS is illustrated in Figure 1.

TL;DR: This work has shown that changes in fatty acid uptake, lipogenesis, and energy expenditure that can impact ectopic lipid deposition may converge to promote the accumulation of specific lipid metabolites in liver and skeletal muscle, a common final pathway leading to impaired insulin signaling and insulin resistance.
