The importance of glucose is well known as an energy source in testes. In order to evaluate the effects of long-lasting hypoglycemia on testes, a novel glucokinase activator, TMG-123, was dosed to rats at 5, 20 and 100 mg/kg for 13 weeks. As a result, plasma glucose levels decreased for several hours with increasing doses over the dose range of 5 to 100 mg/kg. No toxicological findings attributable to the test article were observed in clinical observation, measurements of body weight and food consumption, necropsy, and organ weight measurement. Histopathology showed scattered degeneration of seminiferous tubules in testes, and exfoliation of germ cells related to the degeneration of seminiferous tubules was observed in the lumen of both epididymides in the same animals at the end of the dosing period. Similar histopathological findings were noted at the end of the recovery period. In addition, a fertility study was conducted at the same doses for 13 weeks for males and 5 weeks for females. Sperm analysis showed decreases in the sperm concentration and the motility index and an increase in the incidences of sperm malformations. However, there were no abnormalities in the copulation or fertility rate. These results suggest that long-lasting hypoglycemia in rats is harmful to spermatogenesis and the testicular damage does not recover.Preimplantation genomic selection combined with an in vitro embryo production system is expected as a means of accelerating genetic improvement in cattle. While micromanipulation-based biopsy approaches are often used to collect embryonic cells for genetic testing, they require expensive equipment and sophisticated skills, hindering the adoption of this system. In the present study, to develop a simple method for preimplantation genomic selection using the blastomere separation (BS) technique in bovine in vitro fertilized embryos, we examined the accuracy of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping and optimal cryopreservation method in demi-blastocysts produced by the BS technique. We demonstrated reliable SNP genotyping using DNA derived from demi-blastocysts. We indicated a suitable equilibrium time in vitrification solution for demi-blastocysts and succeeded obtaining pregnancies by the transfer of vitrified demi-blastocysts. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the BS technique provides a simple method for preimplantation genomic selection in bovine in vitro fertilized embryos.
As the proportion of visceral (VAT) to subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) may contribute to type 2 diabetes (T2D) development, we examined this relation in a cross-sectional design within the Multiethnic Cohort that includes Japanese Americans known to have high VAT. The aim was to understand how ectopic fat accumulation differs by glycemic status across ethnic groups with disparate rates of obesity, T2D, and propensity to accumulate VAT.

In 2013-16, 1,746 participants aged 69.2 (2.7) years from five ethnic groups completed questionnaires, blood collections, and whole-body DXA and abdominal MRI scans. Participants with self-reported T2D and/or medication were classified as T2D, those with fasting glucose >125 and 100-125 mg/dL as undiagnosed cases (UT2D) and prediabetes (PT2D), respectively. Using linear regression, we estimated adjusted means of adiposity measures by T2D status.

Overall, 315 (18%) participants were classified as T2D, 158 (9%) as UT2D, 518 (30%) as PT2D, and 755 (43%) as normoglycemic (NG) with significant ethnic differences (p<0.0001). In fully adjusted models, VAT, VAT/SAT, and percent liver fat increased significantly from NG, PT2D, UT2D, to T2D (p<0.001). Across ethnic groups, the VAT/SAT ratio was lowest for NG participants and highest for T2D cases. Positive trends were observed in all groups except African Americans, with highest VAT/SAT in Japanese Americans.

These findings indicate that VAT plays an important role in T2D etiology, in particular among Japanese Americans with high levels of ectopic adipose tissue, which drives the development of T2D to a greater degree than in other ethnic groups.

The pharmacist initially carried out therapeutic drug monitoring using an estimate of the creatinine clearance (CLcr) level, which was based on the serum creatinine (SCr) and serum cystatin-C (CysC) levels, but was ultimately unable to control the plasma VCM concentration. Therefore, the plasma VCM concentration was predicted ex post facto using population pharmacokinetic parameters as a covariate; that is, directly including the glomerular filtration rate (GFRCysC) estimated from the CysC level, which is not affected by the muscle mass. As a result, the estimated VCM concentration was closer to the actual concentration than that predicted using CLcr. Furthermore, the results of examining the predictive accuracy according to the assessment of renal function at the time of initial VCM administration suggested that estimation of the trough concentration using GFRCysC might be useful in elderly patients with muscular dystrophy.Currently, various hyperphosphatemia drugs are administered orally to hemodialysis patients in order to lower serum phosphorus levels. However, it is known that medication adherence is poor, possibly due to greater pill burden taken each time and their complicated schedules. Therefore, large amounts of unused hyperphosphatemia drugs are likely to be leftover. The increase in leftover prescribed drugs leads to the unnecessary elevation of medical care costs. To date, however, the available information on leftover hyperphosphatemia drugs in hemodialysis outpatients is limited. check details In this study, we performed an interview survey of medication adherence to hyperphosphatemia drugs among 60 hemodialysis outpatients and evaluated the cost of the leftover drugs. Thirty-four patients showed good adherence. On the other hand, 19 patients self-adjusted to take hyperphosphatemia drugs according to their daily diet. When assessing the serum phosphorus levels for these patients over the past year, the values often exceeded the targeted range (3.
