Homocysteine, vitamin B12, and folate circulating levels in women with and without polycystic ovary syndrome: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Womens Health (Lond)
September 2024
Background: Some studies have reported that homocysteine, vitamin B12, and folic acid levels are associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), whereas other studies yielded controversial results.
Objectives: This study aimed to systematize the available evidence of homocysteine, vitamin B12, and folate levels in women with and without PCOS.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article Synopsis
- This study reviews existing research on asprosin levels in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and obesity to explore its potential as a treatment for metabolic-endocrine disorders.
- A systematic analysis of 26 studies found that individuals with T2D, MetS, and obesity had significantly higher asprosin levels compared to those without these conditions.
- The results suggest that asprosin could serve as a biomarker for metabolic disorders, as its levels are notably elevated in T2D, MetS, and obesity patients.
Article Synopsis
- * A systematic literature review analyzed 1359 articles, identifying 33 valid studies involving 96,909 animals, finding a pooled prevalence of 5.0% in birds, 1.0% in pigs, and 0.0% in cats and dogs.
- * Although H5N1 appears less common in animals compared to other influenza strains, its potential to cause severe illness in humans underscores the importance of monitoring its prevalence and understanding contributing factors for effective prevention.
Introduction: Dengue is a vector-borne disease, especially important in tropical and subtropical areas. The first presentation of many arboviral diseases occurred mainly in animals, including multiple and , such as dengue.
Objective: To determine the serological and molecular frequency of the dengue virus in animals.
Objective: We aimed to review the available evidence on the association between vitamin B12, folate, and homocysteine levels with worse outcomes among COVID-19 patients.
Methods: The search was carried out in ten databases simultaneously run on 10 May 2023, without language restrictions. We included cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort studies.
Background And Aims: The presence of fungal infections has been described in patients after recovering from COVID-19. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of studies that reported fungal infections ( spp., , or spp.

Several studies have reported an association of vitamin B12, folic acid, or homocysteine (Hcy) levels with MetS. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the association of vitamin B12, folic acid, and Hcy levels with MetS.
