Serum Leptin, Ghrelin, and IGF-1 Levels and Their Association with Bone Mineral Density in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis

People with UC have higher rates of low bone density, which raises fracture risk. This study links altered hormones (leptin, ghrelin, IGF‑1) and inflammation to lower BMD in UC, suggesting metabolic pathways that could...

Multi-omics Mendelian randomization and experimental validation identify PRKAB1 as a regulator of phosphatidylcholine metabolism in IBD.
Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's archives of pharmacology

Multi-omics Mendelian randomization and experimental validation identify PRKAB1 as a regulator of phosphatidylcholine metabolism in IBD.

Phosphatidylcholines are implicated in IBD biology; identifying a gene that regulates PC metabolism could point to new mechanistic targets. If PRKAB1 modulates epithelial lipid metabolism relevant to inflammation, it may...
