59th European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) Annual Meeting
October 19th, 2023
Science Pearls
Comparison between two commercial automated insulin delivery (AID) systems (Medtronic 670G/770G as a first-generation AID vs. Tandem Control-IQ as a second-generation AID with auto-correction feature) remains scarce. We conducted this post-hoc analysis of a prospective, observational, real-world study involving 52 adults with T1D (63% females). The findings suggested that compared with the first-generation AID system, the second-generation AID system achieved a higher time in range, mainly due to less time spent in hyperglycemia, among adults with type 1 diabetes in real-world settings. The benefits of less hyperglycemia may be mainly attributed to the auto-correction feature. This is the first study comparing two different brands of commercial AID systems.

Reduction of DUSP4 enhances macrophage infiltration and contributes to renal fibrosis
April 17th, 2023
Science Pearls
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease. Renal interstitial fibrosis (RIF), an essential characteristic of CKD, is associated with renal function decline. Although macrophages are known to play a role in the generation of fibrosis, their contribution to RIF is not well elucidated. Our laboratory has previously demonstrated that the […]
How our fat expands affects our health (Ina Maltais-Payette)
December 15th, 2022
Science Pearls
Association between visceral adipocyte hypertrophy and circulating amino acids When we consume more energy than we expend, the body will accumulate this surplus in the form of fat. In our body, we can accumulate fat in two ways; either we create new fat cells (a phenomenon called hyperplasia), or we increase the size of existing […]
Excess weight, diet and depression
December 15th, 2022
General Public News
People who are obese are 20 to 40% more likely to develop symptoms of depression or anxiety than those who maintain a healthy body weight. But contrary to recent thinking, being overweight is far from the main factor. According to Stéphanie Fulton, professor in the Department of Nutrition at Université de Montréal and researcher at the CHUM Research Centre, diet quality and its impacts on a person’s metabolism play a major role. Her results reveal that an excess of saturated fats can alter the neural circuits that control motivation, emotions, mood and anxiety.

Les 100 ans de l’insuline : entretien avec Mélanie Henderson
April 20th, 2022
General Public News
Mélanie Henderson : Avec grand plaisir! J’ai commencé un baccalauréat en ergothérapie, pour ensuite poursuivre mon cours de médecine à l’Université McGill. J’ai fait une résidence en pédiatrie et deux ans de surspécialisation en endocrinologie pédiatrique à l’Université de Toronto au Sick Kids Hospital. Parallèlement à ma résidence en surspécialisation, j’ai entamé une maîtrise en épidémiologie clinique à l’Université de Toronto, durant laquelle je suis revenue à Montréal afin de compléter ce projet de maîtrise à l’hôpital Sainte-Justine. Par la suite, j’ai complété en 2014 un doctorat en épidémiologie à l’Université McGill en raison de mon intérêt envers la recherche sur les déterminants de la santé cardiométabolique chez le jeune présentant une obésité et/ou un diabète de type 1 ou de type 2.

Combined deletion of free fatty-acid receptors 1 and 4 minimally impacts glucose homeostasis in mice
January 8th, 2021
Science Pearls
Abstract The free fatty-acid receptors FFAR1 (GPR40) and FFAR4 (GPR120) are implicated in the regulation of insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity, respectively. Although GPR120 and GPR40 share similar ligands, few studies have addressed possible interactions between these two receptors in the control of glucose homeostasis. Here we generated mice deficient in gpr120 (Gpr120KO) or gpr40 (Gpr40KO), alone or in […]
