Article Synopsis
- Naringenin may enhance the process of browning white adipose tissue by boosting thermogenic gene expression, with a focus on liposomal formulations for better delivery.
- The study involved two main groups of mice subjected to a high-fat diet, where one group received weekly injections of either free or liposomal naringenin to assess its effects on body weight and tissue browning.
- Results indicated that liposomal naringenin improved gene expression related to fat browning more effectively than free naringenin, but neither formulation significantly impacted overall weight gain in the mice.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered one of the most important causes of chronic liver disorders in the world. Dietary pattern is a modifiable risk factor that represents the main target for the prevention and treatment of NAFLD. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the impact of low-fat diet on anthropometric measurements, biochemical, and inflammatory parameters in individuals with obesity/overweight and NAFLD.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study including 1691 consecutive patients implanted with an active fixation pacing and defibrillator lead at our institution between January 2015 and January 2021.
Article Synopsis
- - This study investigates how prolonged fasting during Ramadan affects serum levels of the protein FGF21, which plays a role in fasting adaptation, along with nutritional status and body measurements in young adult males.
- - Twelve healthy males aged 18-35 fasted for 16 hours daily over 29 days, with data collected on their diets, physical activity, and blood samples taken at different fasting stages.
- - Results showed FGF21 levels rose initially during fasting but declined later, correlating with protein intake; while physical activity and energy expenditure increased, overall energy intake decreased from the start to four weeks after fasting.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device procedures have their own complications in addition to the complications associated with standard pacemaker implantations. This study aimed to analyze the predictors of the right bundle branch injury resulting in complete heart block (CHB) during right ventricular (RV) lead implantation in patients who underwent CRT with defibrillator. We conducted an observational study of consecutive 790 patients who underwent CRT with defibrillator device implantation at our institution from 2010 to 2022.
