Cell Metab. 2020; 31(4):710–725.e7. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2020.02.016. PMID: 32197072.In brief: High-sugar diets cause thirst, obesity and metabolic dysregulation, leading to insulin resistance, the MetS, T2DM and shortened lifespan. This study shows that high sugar diets induce dehydration in adult Drosophila. Water supplementation fully rescued the shortened lifespan, but ...

PMID: 35202564. doi: 10.1016/j.ajhg.2022.02.002.Brief Summary: The authors present elegant data showing that X-LAG is a TADopathy of the endocrine system and that the rewiring of GPR101 -enhancer interactions most likely causes the upregulation of GPR101 expression in X-LAG-related pituitary tumors.The X-LAG micr...

12.4. Insulinopathies of the brain? Genetic overlap between somatic insulin-related and neuropsychiatric disorders

J. Fanelli G, Franke B, De Witte W, Ruisch IH, Haavik J, van Gils V, Jansen WJ, Vos SJB, Lind L, Buitelaar JK, Banaschewski T, Dalsgaard S, Serretti A, Mota NR, Poelmans G, Bralten

Translational psychiatry 2022;12(1):59. doi: 10.1038/s41398-022-01817-0Brief Summary: This population genetics study explored pairwise genome-wide genetic correlations between neuropsychiatric disorders with insulin-related somatic diseases and traits. There were likely protective effects of obsessive-compulsive disorder and anorexia nervosa on the risks of having MetS, obesity and T2DM; i...
