MAFLD includes a wide spectrum of liver injury including simple steatosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) that may lead to serious complications such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. The complexity of its pathophysiology and the intricate mechanisms underlying disease progression explains the huge variety of molecules targeting diverse biological mechanisms that have been tested in preclinical and clinical settings in the last two decades. Thanks to the large number of clinical trials of the last few years, most of them still ongoing, the pharmacotherapy scenario of MAFLD is rapidly evolving. The three major components of MAFLD, steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis seem to be safely targeted with different agents at least in a large proportion of patients. Likely, in the next few years more than one drug will be approved for the treatment of MAFLD at different disease stages.

All models showed an intradaily eGFR pattern, but the estimated model coefficients differed depending on whether age was included. The inclusion of age improved the performance of the model. In this model, the acrophase occurred at 7:46 h. We describe the distribution of eGFR values depending on the time in two different populations. This distribution is adjusted to a circadian rhythm that behaves similarly to the individual rhythm.

We examined body mass and ratio of wet-to-dry lung tissue weights of neonatal rats. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was performed to examine histopathological alterations of lung tissues.

Apoptosis of lung tissues was observed using TUNEL assay. Western blotting was performed for detecting endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-associated protein levels. The results showed that Gln promoted body weight gain, significantly reduced pathological damage and oxidative stress in lung tissue, and improved lung function in neonatal rats. Gln reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine release as well as inflammatory cell production in BALF and inhibited apoptosis in lung tissue cells. Furthermore, we found that Gln could downregulate ERS-associated protein levels (GRP78, Caspase-12, CHOP) and inhibit c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and inositol-requiring enzyme 1 alpha (IRE1α) phosphorylation.

To elucidate these findings, we detected that differentiated TPH-1 cells to macrophages exposed to high levels of glucose presented a lower expression of H<sub>2</sub>S-synthetizing enzymes and an increased inflammatory response to LPS, showing upregulated expression of markers associated with M1 phenotype (i.e., CD11c, CD86, iNOS, and IL-6) and reduced levels of those related to M2 fate (CD206 and CD163). The co-treatment of the cells with a slow-releasing H<sub>2</sub>S donor, GYY-4137, attenuated the expression of M1 markers, but failed to modulate the levels of M2 indicators. GYY-4137 also reduced HIF-1α expression and upregulated the protein levels of HO-1, suggesting their involvement in the anti-inflammatory effects of H<sub>2</sub>S induction.

There was also a marked decrease in exhaustion time (p < 0.01, 65% vs. normoxia) in hypoxia control rats, indicating a reduced work capacity. Exercise preconditioning along with NCF supplementation significantly increased the slow-oxidative fiber proportion and exhaustion time while maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. These findings suggest that HH leads to an increased transition of slow-oxidative fibers to fast glycolytic fibers and increased muscular fatigue.

Oral treatment with resveratrol promoted motor coordination and improved remyelination with regular compacted myelin in most axons without a significant impact on myelin basic protein (MBP) mRNA expression. These effects are mediated, at least in part, via activating autophagic pathways that may involve SIRT1/FoxO1 activation.

The observation of survival stopped three days after chemicals' injection or at death. Intracisternal ghrelin dose-dependently reduced lethality in the endotoxemic model; meanwhile, neither intraperitoneal injection of ghrelin nor intracisternal des-acyl-ghrelin injection affected the mortality rate. The brain ghrelin-induced lethality reduction was significantly blocked by surgical vagotomy. Moreover, intracisternal injection of a ghrelin receptor antagonist blocked the improved survival achieved by intracisternal ghrelin injection or intravenous 2-deoxy-d-glucose administration. Intracisternal injection of an adenosine A2B receptor agonist reduced the lethality and the ghrelin-induced improvement of survival was blocked by adenosine A2B receptor antagonist. I addition, intracisternal ghrelin significantly blocked the colonic hyperpermeability produced by LPS and colchicine. These results suggest that ghrelin acts centrally to reduce endotoxemic lethality. Accordingly, activation of the vagal pathway and adenosine A2B receptors in the brain may be implicated in the ghrelin-induced increased survival.
