@Amurtab @UAlberta_Pharm 7) For anyone interested in using PSSI-51 as a tool to manipulate #ketone #metabolism #oxidation for their studies, we are happy to share and please just reach out to myself or @Amurtab

This will likely be my last thread here as I’m moving over to Bluesky (https://t.co/WHZdpadTP3), but wanted to share exciting work from former PDF @Amurtab @UAlberta_Pharm ; https://t.co/lcQBbYQrc9

@Amurtab @UAlberta_Pharm 6) So grateful to all @Amurtab hard work and to our many collaborators who helped this paper happen , but a special shoutout to Dr. Dion Brocks @UAlberta_Pharm , whose lab developed the assay for us to detect/measure PSSI-51 in biological specimens

I cannot articulate in the form it truly deserves how much he has impacted my life, but I know I would not be who I am today, or where I am today, if not for him, which I know extends to many others here at the UofA

This is a very difficult msg for me to type, but it is with deep sadness that I share news regarding the passing of Dr. Gary Lopaschuk, who was not only my mentor, but a dear friend these past 20 years.

Excited to share my work with @DanielJDrucker on the role for GIPR agonism alone and with GLP-1R agonism (@tirzepatide_ ) in the regulation of gut inflammation, and providing new insights on the localization of the GIP receptor in the gut. See paper here: https://t.co/9wgCdVMyxa
