Article Synopsis
- Vascular endothelial cells are crucial in the early development of atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, and Alzheimer's disease, acting as a barrier between blood and arterial walls.
- Mitochondria play an essential role not just in energy production but also in regulating various biological processes in these cells; mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to endothelial injury and cardiovascular diseases.
- The article discusses current treatments and future research directions aimed at understanding and improving the connections between mitochondrial health and endothelial function to enhance patient outcomes.
As a vital component of blood vessels, endothelial cells play a key role in maintaining overall physiological function by residing between circulating blood and semi-solid tissue. Various stress stimuli can induce endothelial injury, leading to the onset of corresponding diseases in the body. In recent years, the importance of mitochondria in vascular endothelial injury has become increasingly apparent.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of exercise training on overweight and obese children based on glucose metabolism indicators and inflammatory markers.
Methods: The PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched for randomized controlled trials related to exercise training and obese children until October 2023.
Objective: This meta-analysis aims to analyze the relationship between serum vitamin D (VD) levels and Graves' disease (GD).
Methods: We conducted a search for publications on VD and GD in the English language. Our search encompassed databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, covering publications available through August 2023.
Diabetic nephropathy (DN), a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, is the primary contributor to end-stage renal disease in developed countries. Existing clinical interventions for DN encompass lifestyle modifications, blood glucose regulation, blood pressure reduction, lipid management, and avoidance of nephrotoxic medications. Despite these measures, a significant number of patients progress to end-stage renal disease, underscoring the need for additional therapeutic strategies.

Dysregulation of the gut flora is an important trigger for chronic low-grade inflammation. Changes in the composition of the gut flora and exposure to related metabolites have an effect on the inflammatory system of the host.

Methods: RCTs were searched on PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library until June 2022. A meta-analysis was performed on the therapeutic efficacy of probiotics on liver function, glucose and lipid metabolism, and inflammatory biomarkers by using RevMan 5.
