Guoqing Zhuang,Cong Meng,Xin Guo,Patali S. Cheruku,Lei Shi,Hang Xu,Honggui Li,Gang Wang,Ashley R. Evans,Stephen Safe,Chaodong Wu,Beiyan Zhou +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the activity of microRNA-223 (miR-223) and its role in controlling macrophage functions in adipose tissue inflammation and systemic insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metformin ameliorates hepatic steatosis and inflammation without altering adipose phenotype in diet-induced obesity.
Shih Lung Woo,Hang Xu,Honggui Li,Yan Zhao,Xiang Hu,Xiang Hu,Jiajia Zhao,Jiajia Zhao,Xin Guo,Ting Guo,Rachel Botchlett,Ting Qi,Ya Pei,Juan Zheng,Juan Zheng,Yiming Xu,Xiaofei An,Lulu Chen,Lili Chen,Qifu Li,Xiaoqiu Xiao,Yuqing Huo,Yuqing Huo,Chaodong Wu +23 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that metformin protects against obesity-associated NAFLD largely through direct effects on decreasing hepatocyte fat deposition and on inhibiting inflammatory responses in both hepatocytes and macrophages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Palmitoleate induces hepatic steatosis but suppresses liver inflammatory response in mice.
Xin Guo,Honggui Li,Hang Xu,Vera Halim,Weiyu Zhang,Huan Wang,Kuok Teong Ong,Shih Lung Woo,Rosemary L. Walzem,Douglas G. Mashek,Hui Dong,Fuer Lu,Lai Wei,Yuqing Huo,Chaodong Wu +14 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that palmitoleate acts through dissociating liver inflammatory response from hepatic steatosis to play a unique role in NAFLD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Etiology of Metabolic Syndrome and Dietary Intervention.
TL;DR: In this review, the proposed and demonstrated mechanisms of MetS pathogenesis are discussed and demonstrated, and different interventions are discussed, so that health practitioners can have a better understanding of the most recent research progress and have available references for their daily practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
