Researchers at Kumamoto University have developed HPH-15, a new compound that outperforms metformin in managing Type 2 diabetes by effectively reducing blood glucose and fat accumulation. HPH-15 activates AMPK at lower doses, decreases subcutaneous fat, and has antifibrotic properties, offering a safer profile with reduced lactic acidosis risk. This breakthrough could revolutionize diabetes treatment by addressing both glucose control and obesity-related complications.

Maqui berries, native to Chile, are rich in polyphenols, particularly delphinidin, which have numerous health benefits. These include speeding up metabolism and fat burning, soothing dry and itchy eyes, lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels, boosting immunity, improving brain function, reducing the risk of cancer, reversing skin aging, and improving gastrointestinal health. Maqui berry extract, containing high concentrations of bioavailable delphinidins, is recommended for optimal absorption and activation of AMPK, a master switch that controls energy and metabolism. Taking 500 mg of maqui extract daily is advised for overall reduction in oxidative stress and anti-aging effects.

Biologists at the University of California, Irvine have discovered that by eliminating the SAPS3 component of the AMPK protein complex, mice were able to maintain a normal energy balance even when consuming a high-fat diet. This finding reveals the potential for developing molecules that inhibit SAPS3 to help restore metabolic balance and combat metabolic disorders like obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver disease.
