TL;DR: Animal experiments showed that BBR located favorably in the liver and altered hepatic metabolism-related gene expression in an animal model of NAFLD treated with BBR, suggesting that the therapeutic effect of BBR may involve a direct regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism.

TL;DR: Serum FGF21 was a potential biomarker to reflect the hepatic fat content in patients with mild or moderate NAFLD and within the range of hepatic steatosis from the first to third quartile, FGF 21 was superior to any other traditional clinical markers including ALT to reflect hepaticfat content.

TL;DR: The metabolic improvement in T2DM after RYGB in the mildly obese is greater with a shorter duration of diabetes, higher fasting C-peptide, and those who have more visceral adiposity may obtain greater benefit from RY GB.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors developed a theoretical framework and demonstrated a scalable prototype on the sorption-based air water harvesting (AWH), which adopts temperature-insensitive and RH-broadband desiccant, achieving a large water harvesting capacity in different regions.

TL;DR: Serum uric acid levels within the high-normal range are independently associated with DKD, and hyperuricaemia is a risk factor for DKD.
