We discuss various implementations of ligand- and structure-based approaches, covering machine learning, deep learning, docking, molecular dynamics, and free energy methods, as well as their application in a regulatory setting.

They directly enter the portal vein as free medium-chain fatty acids, most of which are converted to ketone bodies in the liver, with a significant proportion entering the circulation. Accumulating evidence links MCT intake to improved glucose homeostasis; increased energy expenditure and satiety with concomitant modest weight loss; and chain length-dependent modulation of circulating lipoprotein profiles and liver metabolism. Emerging data also suggest direct benefits for cardiac contractility, hinting at a broader cardiometabolic advantage. Here, we synthesize the current evidence, outlining how MCTs influence cardiometabolic health. We further discuss mechanistic insights, from cellular substrate partitioning and mitochondrial dynamics to gut-liver signaling to propose mechanisms of MCT action.","PeriodicalId":23301,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145331802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the high metabolic demand of pancreatic β cells' insulin secretion, disruption of mitophagy contributes to the mitochondrial dysfunction and β cell failure that are a common feature of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (T1D and T2D). We review the impact of mitophagy on β cell responses to (patho)physiologic stressors that underlie the development of T1D and T2D. We examine how β cells engage mitophagy in the adaptive response to metabolic, inflammatory, and oxidative damage. We also dissect the importance of ubiquitin- and receptor-mediated mitophagy, methodological advances to quantify mitophagy in β cells, and ongoing efforts to pharmacologically target mitophagy to preserve β cell health and improve glycemic control.","PeriodicalId":23301,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145314601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies underscore the importance of metabolic reprogramming, mitochondrial adaptation, and signaling metabolites in promoting tissue injury repair. Dynamic crosstalk between hepatocytes, non-parenchymal cells, and other organs governs the regenerative process. Spatial compartmentalization within the liver and systemic cues from adipose tissue, the pancreas, the gut, the brain, skeletal muscle, and other organs play critical roles in shaping regenerative outcomes. In this review we discuss how the liver's tissue microenvironment and inter-organ communication networks regulate liver regeneration, providing new insights into the complex biology underlying tissue repair.","PeriodicalId":23301,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145314599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Implementing MetR in humans remains challenging due to the low palatability of MetR diets, unfavorable side effects associated with continuous dietary MetR, and interindividual variation in factors that can diminish its efficacy, including microbiota activity, compensatory effects from cysteine, and methionine transfer from neighboring cells. Several novel approaches that target methionine metabolism have been developed - including small molecules, synthetic biotics, and xenotopic tools - with some already translated into early-stage clinical trials. In this review, we discuss a variety of approaches that either produce or mimic MetR, as well as their potential applications for human healthspan improvement.","PeriodicalId":23301,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145235895","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
