Finnish diabetes risk score outperformed triglyceride-glucose index in diabetes risk prediction.

Purpose: Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) index is a surrogate marker of insulin resistance. This study compared the performance of TyG index and the Finnish diabetes risk score (FINDRISC) in diabetes risk prediction.

Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 122 young adults (aged 15-35 years) in Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria.

Yellow Fever Disease: Pattern of Presentation of Patients in Federal Medical Centre, Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria.

Relieves Chronic Hepatorenal Injuries in Rats by Altering , , and Expression.

The effectiveness of extracts was compared to that of the standard drug, silymarin, in reducing chronic liver and kidney anomalies. Male albino Wistar rats were grouped in tens. Carbon tetrachloride was dissolved in olive oil (1:4) and administered to specific groups at a dose of 3 mL/kg body weight (bw) twice a week for six weeks.

Combats Oxidative Stress, Protein and Lipid Dyshomeostasis, Inflammation, Hepatic Injury, and Glomerular Blockage in Rats.

, better known as 'pepperfruit', is a medicinal plant consumed in West Africa. possesses strong antioxidant properties and contains uvariopsine, an alkaloid which improves bile secretion and liver function. In the present study, the ethanolic extract of fruits was tested for its ability to alleviate pathophysiological conditions bordering on oxidative stress, including protein and lipid dyshomeostasis, inflammation, and hepatic and glomerular injury.
