Synergic Integration of the miRNome, Machine Learning and Bioinformatics for the Identification of Potential Disease-Modifying Agents in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Introduction: Understanding the diverse pathogenetic pathways in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is crucial for improving outcomes. microRNA (miRNA) profiling is a promising strategy for elucidating these mechanisms.

Objective: To characterize the pathogenetic pathways linked to OSA through the integration of miRNA profiles, machine learning (ML) and bioinformatics.

Melatonin-Supplemented Obese Female Mice Show Less Inflammation in Ovarian Adipocytes and Browning in Subcutaneous Adipocytes.

We hypothesized that melatonin (Mel) supplementation may offer therapeutic benefits for obesity, particularly in women. Therefore, the study evaluated Mel's effects on white adipose tissue (WAT) in diet-induced obese female mice. Four-week-old C57BL/6 females were assigned to either a control diet (C group) or a high-fat diet (HF group) for 6 weeks (n = 20/group).

Setting of residue definitions and toxicological reference values for ethiprole.

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the original evaluating Member State (EMS), the United Kingdom, received an application from Bayer CropScience to set an import tolerance for the non-approved active substance ethiprole in rice. In the framework of the assessment process, the application was re-allocated to the Netherlands and the purpose of the application was changed to only set European residue definitions and toxicological reference values for the active substance ethiprole. Based on the assessment of the available toxicological data, an acceptable daily intake of 0.

Setting of import tolerances for azoxystrobin in melons and watermelons.

In accordance with Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the applicant Syngenta Crop Protection AG submitted a request to the competent national authority in Austria to set an import tolerance for the active substance azoxystrobin in melons and watermelons. The data submitted in support of the request were found to be sufficient to derive MRL proposals for melons and watermelons. Adequate analytical methods for enforcement are available to control the residues of azoxystrobin on the commodities under consideration at the validated LOQ of 0.

Tirzepatide, a dual agonist of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), positively impacts the altered microbiota of obese, diabetic, ovariectomized mice.

The study aimed to verify the effect of Tirzepatide (Tzp, a dual agonist GIP/GLP-1) on intestinal health and microbiota balance in an obese diabetic ovariectomized (Ovx) mice model. Female C57BL/6 mice with Ovx and diet-induced obesity with diabetes were treated with Tzp (10 nmol/kg) for four weeks. Control (C) and obese-diabetic subgroups (Od) were formed (group abbreviations: O, Ovx; T, Tzp; n = 30/group): C, CT, CO, COT, Od, OdT, OdO, OdOT.
