Insulin resistance is a risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Chen et al.1 show that microglial insulin signaling is essential for metabolic homeostasis and immune regulation, while insulin resistance impairs Aβ clearance and promotes neuroinflammation in AD. Their findings reframe AD pathogenesis through a cell-type-specific lens.

Despite advances in elucidating obesity pathophysiology, predicting individual responses to weight loss interventions remains challenging. Cifuentes et al.1 developed a predictive model integrating genetic risk scores and anthropometric parameters to estimate caloric intake to satiation, demonstrating potential in forecasting weight loss trajectories with phentermine-topiramate and liraglutide therapies.

In a recent Molecular Cell study,1 Zhou et al. elucidated how glycogenolysis-derived glucose-1-phosphate mediates source-specific routing of glucose-6-phosphate into the pentose phosphate pathway through allosteric activation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and liquid-liquid phase separation-mediated metabolic compartments. This compartmentalized distribution enables efficient reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) generation from glycogenolytic flux, promoting Tm cell persistence by maintaining redox homeostasis.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, such as semaglutide, represent a significant breakthrough in pharmacological interventions to treat obesity. Meanwhile, there have been recent concerns that GLP-1R agonist treatment leads to a loss of lean mass, potentially compromising physical functions and quality of life, particularly in those susceptible to sarcopenia. In the STEP-1 trial of semaglutide, lean mass was reduced by 6.92 kg with a weight reduction of 15.3 kg, indicating that

Atherosclerosis (AS) is an independent risk factor for vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Zhang et al.1 revealed that foam cell-derived exosomes transmit redox imbalance and metabolic defects to microglia via the miR-101-3p-Nrf2-Slc2a1 axis, causing microglial dysfunction and exacerbating VCI, uncovering a peripheral-brain link and potential therapeutic targets for AS-induced VCI.

Glucose is essential for T cell proliferation and function, yet its specific metabolic roles in vivo remain poorly defined. Here, we identify glycosphingolipid (GSL) biosynthesis as a key pathway fueled by glucose that enables CD8+ T cell expansion and cytotoxic function in vivo. Using 13C-based stable isotope tracing, we demonstrate that CD8+ effector T cells use glucose to synthesize uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-Glc), a precursor for glycogen, glycan, and GSL biosynthesis. Inhibiting GSL production by targeting the enzymes UDP-Glc pyrophosphorylase 2 (UGP2), UDP-Gal-4-epimerase (GALE), or UDP-Glc ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG) impairs CD8+ T cell expansion upon pathogen challenge. Mechanistically, we show that glucose-dependent GSL biosynthesis is required for plasma membrane lipid raft integrity and optimal T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. Moreover, UGCG-deficient CD8+ T cells display reduced granzyme expression, cytolytic activity, and tumor control in vivo. Together, our data establish GSL biosynthesis as a critical metabolic fate of glucose—beyond energy production—that is required for CD8+ T cell responses in vivo.

L-lactate participates in metabolism, including the Cori cycle, but less is known about D-lactate. We found that circulating D-lactate was higher in humans and mice with obesity. D-lactate increased hepatic glycogen, triglycerides, and blood glucose more than equimolar L-lactate in mice. Stable isotope analyses showed that D-lactate is metabolized in mice and in hepatocytes to pyruvate, TCA intermediates, lipids, and glucose. The gut microbiota is the main source of blood D-lactate. Colonization of mice with a bacterial strain that produced D-lactate elevated blood glucose more than an L-lactate producer. Oral delivery of a biocompatible polymer that traps gut D-lactate, forcing fecal excretion, lowered blood glucose and insulin resistance in obese mice in a polymer length- and dose-dependent manner. This D-lactate trap lowered hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in mice with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD)/metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Therefore, microbial-derived D-lactate contributes to host glucose and lipid metabolism and can be trapped to improve metabolic disease during obesity.
