Under stress or diseased conditions (e.g., heat stress, infection, obesity, diabetes, and cancer), taurine synthesis in the body may be impaired due to the suboptimal function of liver and the reduced availability of the amino acid precursors
In the HG/TGF--induced HK-2 and STZ-induced diabetic rat models, the expression of the relevant mitochondrial functional proteins PINK1, Parkin, Fundc1, LC3II, Atg5, MFN2, and MFN1 was significantly reduced, and vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonist treatment increased the expression of the relevant proteins, alleviated the dysfunction of mitophagy, inhibited mitochondrial fission, reduced mitochondrial ROS, and increased the integrity of MAMs, leading to the conclusion that VDR agonists can promote the restoration of mitophagy by regulating the MFN2-MAMs-Fundc1 pathway in renal tubular cells, and thus play a nephroprotective role [138]
Such genetic alterations were reverted by IGF-1 replacement therapy and may seriously contribute to the establishment of MetS [164]
By reducing the number of LDL receptors (LDLR) on the surface of liver cells, PCSK9 leads to the accumulation of LDL-C, increasing the risk of CVDs
