Cardiometabolic conditions, including type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, are associated with severe COVID-19 and long COVID. Interventions to target multiple risk factors, combined with use of novel glucose-lowering agents that improve metabolic function and the key processes that are impaired in COVID-19, should be the preferred therapeutic options for management of people with long COVID.
Exercise training can induce robust changes in mitochondria that are beneficial for a range of metabolic health outcomes. However, a recent study suggests there might be an upper limit to the amount of high-intensity training that can be tolerated before disruptions to mitochondrial function and whole-body metabolic homeostasis occur.
The poor prognosis in patients with diabetes mellitus who contract COVID-19 urged physicians to question routine drug treatment for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. What treatment should we prioritize? So far only observational studies are available, although complementary interventional studies are needed to address this issue.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are now an established cornerstone of cancer therapeutics; however, ICIs are associated with toxicities in various organs, termed immune-related adverse events. This Review highlights current understanding in ICI-induced endocrinopathies, including epidemiology, aetiology, clinical manifestations and approaches to treatment.
This article discusses the latest advances in the mechanisms of diabetic sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy (DSPN) and painful DSPN, originating both from the periphery and the central nervous system, and outlines the emerging diagnostics and treatments.
The adrenal cortex is used to study adult progenitor niches and differentiated cell plasticity. Here, Lyraki and Schedl describe the complex regulation of steroidogenic cell function and renewal in the adult adrenal cortex by sex hormones as well as paracrine and endocrine mechanisms.
This Consensus Statement discusses the management of asymptomatic individuals with a germline mutation in one of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDHx) genes (SDHA, SDHB, SDHC and SDHD), which encode the four subunits of the SDH enzyme. These individuals are at increased risk of phaeochromocytoma and/or paraganglioma.
