Article Synopsis
- Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNA molecules that do not code for proteins but play crucial roles in regulating gene expression and cellular functions, particularly in processes like cell growth and programmed cell death (apoptosis).
- The ferroptosis signaling pathway, which is a recently identified form of cell death, influences various biological processes and is controlled by a network of interconnected pathways.
- Research indicates that ncRNAs can regulate important genes within the ferroptosis pathway, offering insights that could lead to new treatment approaches for preeclampsia by targeting the interactions between ncRNAs and ferroptosis.
Objective: This experimental study investigated the protective function of quercetin on the liver, spleen, and kidneys of Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats and explores its mechanism of action on autophagy-related factors and pathways.
Materials And Methods: GK rats were randomly divided into three groups: DM, DM + L-Que, and DM + H-Que, with age-matched Wistar rats serving as the control group. The control and DM groups were gavaged with saline, and the quercetin-treated group was gavaged with quercetin for 8 weeks each.
