Background And Aims: Insulin resistance is considered the most important key mechanism in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Some studies have reported that hyperinsulinemia decreases the hepatic secretion of apolipoprotein (Apo) B. Chronic hyperinsulinemia in NAFLD may be responsible for the accumulation of triglycerides in hepatocytes.

Article Synopsis
- * The study assessed five cathelicidine-like helical peptides (CLHPs) against meglumine antimoniate (MA) through in vitro testing, finding varying effectiveness, with TN3 showing notable efficacy at a concentration of 32 ug/mL.
- * Further research is needed to explore the efficacy and potential toxicity of TN3 and other CLHPs as viable treatment alternatives for leishmaniasis.
Article Synopsis
- Plants produce fatty acid derivatives that play important roles in their defense mechanisms.
- The study identified and characterized eight FAT genes from tomato and potato, revealing their conserved structures and regulatory functions.
- Knockout experiments using CRISPR/Cas9 on specific FAT genes resulted in notable changes in fatty acid content and reduced leaf features like trichome and stoma density.
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the complete blood cell count parameters of patients with methamphetamine and synthetic cannabis use disorder (MCUD), a condition that has recently exhibited a gradual increase in prevalence, with those of healthy subjects.
Methods: In total, 76 patients diagnosed with MCUD and 78 healthy controls were included in the study. Venous blood samples were collected from all participants at presentation for laboratory examination.
