Prevalence of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults and insulin resistance: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults is a form of diabetes that progresses slowly and is controlled by diet and oral glucose-lowering medications before insulin is required. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults. The present study was conducted based on PRISMA 2020-27-item checklist.

Relationship Between Genetic Polymorphisms in Cell Cycle Regulatory Gene TP53 and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Case-Control Study and In Silico Analyses.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine and metabolic condition with several potential causes. Insulin resistance is a hallmark of PCOS that often coexists with hirsutism, hyperandrogenism, being overweight, and hormonal imbalances. The functioning of multiple replication and transcription factors is regulated by tumor suppressor genes (TSGs), which play a crucial role in maintaining genomic integrity and controlling the cell cycle of granulosa cells.

Identification of new promising plant-based lead compounds for inhibition of prokaryotic replicative DNA polymerases: combination of and studies.

Emerging widespread bacterial resistance to current antibiotics with traditional targets is one of the major global concerns. Therefore, so many investigations are exploring the potential of other druggable macromolecules of bacteria such as replication machinery components that are not addressed by previous antibiotics. DNA polymerase is the major part of this machine.

Scorpionism by spp. in Iran: a review.

Scorpions are distributed throughout Iran and the genus is particularly important in this region. is the most significant species within the genus in the country. Since scorpionism provoked by comprises a medical emergency, the present study is focused on this important issue.

An alternative allosteric pathway in thermophilic methylglyoxal synthase.

Methylglyoxal synthase (MGS) is a homohexameric enzyme responsible for converting dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) to methylglyoxal and phosphate in the methylglyoxal bypass of glycolysis. Phosphate acts as an allosteric inhibitor and strong regulator for this enzyme. Previous studies on MGS from Thermus sp.

Remarkable improvement of methylglyoxal synthase thermostability by His-His interaction.

Lately it has been proposed that interaction between two positively charged side chains can stabilize the folded state of proteins. To further explore this point, we studied the effect of histidine-histidine interactions on thermostability of methylglyoxal synthase from Thermus sp. GH5 (TMGS).

First report on the co-inheritance of beta-globin IVS-I-5 (G-->C) thalassemia with delta globin CD12 {Asn-->Lys (AAT-->AAA)}HbA₂-NYU in Iran.

Background: Co-inheritance of β- and δ-globin mutations in Iran is not uncommon. This situation may interfere with correct diagnosis and genetic counseling of α- and β-thalassemia in screening programs. Here we report the co-inheritance of β- and δ-globin gene mutations in an individual with microcytosis, hypochromia and a normal hemoglobin A₂ (HbA₂) level.
