Background And Aim: Previous studies have reported on the relationship between vitamin D and the lipid profile in individuals with obesity or overweight, but results have been inconsistent. Hence, we conducted this meta-analysis and systematic review of randomized controlled trials to assess the effect of vitamin D on the lipid profile in individuals with overweight or obesity.
Methods: A meticulous search strategy was used in various databases, and article published up to November 2023 were included.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases, including for English-language papers published up to September 2023 comparing the effect of MPA on ApoA-I, Apo-AII, and Lp(a) levels with those of a control group. A meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model, reporting the results as the weighted mean difference (WMD) with a 95 % confidence interval (CI).
Article Synopsis
- Chemotherapy can lead to ovarian failure and complications related to estrogen deficiency by depleting follicular reserves in the ovaries, and current fertility preservation techniques face significant challenges.
- This study investigates the effects of exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on ovarian function in a model of chemotherapy-induced ovarian failure, comparing several treatment groups.
- Results showed that MSCs-EVs therapy helped restore hormonal levels, preserve ovarian follicles, and reduce cell apoptosis, suggesting that this treatment could protect ovarian function and fertility during chemotherapy.
