Article Synopsis
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) significantly affects vision in the elderly, and recent research suggests a link between gut health and its development.
- This study examined the impact of micronutrient supplementation, including lutein and saffron, on patients with neovascular AMD compared to those receiving standard anti-VEGF therapy alone.
- Results showed improvement in visual acuity and gut microbiota composition in patients taking the supplements, implying potential benefits of micronutrients in supporting eye health and balancing gut-related factors in AMD.
Insulin resistance is the link between obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The molecular mechanism by which obese individuals develop insulin resistance has not yet been fully elucidated; however, inconclusive and contradictory studies have shown that oxidative stress may be involved in the process. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of reactive species on the mechanism of insulin resistance in diet-induced obese mice.

Methods: Clinicians from 106 National Health System (NHS) UK hospitals submitted isCGM user baseline and follow-up data in a web-based tool held within the UK NHS network. Linear regression analysis was used to identify the relationship between follow-up glucose TIR (3.
Objective: We tested the hypothesis that impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) is independently associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression in type 1 diabetes.
Research Design And Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study in 950 adults with type 1 diabetes, associations were examined using multiple regression models, adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
Results: Prevalence for probable anxiety, depression, and IAH were 9.
