Sugar-sweetened beverages and risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes: Epidemiologic evidence

TL;DR: It is thought that SSBs contribute to weight gain in part by incomplete compensation for energy at subsequent meals following intake of liquid calories, and should be replaced by healthy alternatives such as water, to reduce risk of obesity and chronic diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uric acid transport and disease.

TL;DR: The biology of urate metabolism and its role in disease is discussed and recent studies identifying SLC2A9, which encodes the glucose transporter family isoform Glut9, as a major determinant of plasma uric acid levels and of gout development are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Broader View: Microbial Enzymes and Their Relevance in Industries, Medicine, and Beyond

TL;DR: In this review, an approach has been made to highlight the importance of different enzymes with special emphasis on amylase and lipase in the different industrial and medical fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Where is mTOR and what is it doing there

TL;DR: The finding that mTORC1 is localized to the lysosome has significantly enhanced the understanding of m TORC1 regulation and may be a general principle used by TOR to enact precise spatial and temporal control of cell growth.

Multiple genetic loci influence serum urate levels and their relationship with gout and cardiovascular disease risk factors

TL;DR: The genetic urate score analysis suggested a causal relationship between serum urate and gout but did not provide evidence for one between serum Urate and cardiovascular risk factors and coronary heart disease (CHD).
Journal ArticleDOI

Omega-3 dietary supplements and the risk of cardiovascular events: a systematic review.

TL;DR: The clinical benefit of dietary fish oil supplementation in preventing cardiovascular events in both high and low risk patients is unclear as discussed by the authors, however, there is no evidence that omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish oil reduce cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammatory arthritis in caspase 1 gene-deficient mice: contribution of proteinase 3 to caspase 1-independent production of bioactive interleukin-1beta.

TL;DR: It is suggested that inhibitors of caspase 1 are not able to interfere with the whole spectrum of IL-1beta production, and therefore such inhibitors may be of therapeutic value only in inflammatory conditions in which limited numbers of neutrophils are present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ethanol-induced hyperuricemia: evidence for increased urate production by activation of adenine nucleotide turnover.

TL;DR: The data indicate that ethanol increases urate synthesis by enhancing the turnover of adenine nucleotides in patients with gout through increased production and decreased excretion of uric acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selectivity of febuxostat, a novel non-purine inhibitor of xanthine oxidase/xanthine dehydrogenase.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that febuxostat is a potent non-purine, selective inhibitor of XO, and could be useful for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout.
