Diabetic nephropathy (DN) can be prevented with early therapeutic intervention in diabetic patients. Recent investigations suggest that β-amyrin, a pentacyclic triterpenoid, could offer significant benefits with its potential antihyperglycemic and nephroprotective effects. We investigated the protective effects of β-amyrin alone and combined it with metformin, the cornerstone therapy for diabetes, using a hyperglycemic adult Zebrafish (ZF) model.

Depression is a prevalent global health concern necessitating alternative approaches to conventional antidepressant medications due to its associated adverse effects. Nigella sativa (NS) is recognized for its potential as an antidepressant, offering a promising solution with fewer side effects. This study investigated the antidepressant efficacy of cyclodextrin-complexed lyophilized nanosuspension of NS oleoresin (NSOR) in a murine model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression.

Article Synopsis
  • Diabetic nephropathy and peripheral neuropathy are serious complications of diabetes, linked to various molecular pathways and specific biomarkers, which contribute to high health risks.
  • A comprehensive review of multiple scientific databases was conducted to explore the roles of these biomarkers and pathways in the diseases' development, with a focus on the effectiveness of two flavonoids, rutin and quercetin.
  • The study found that rutin and quercetin may help combat the adverse effects of diabetes-related complications and recommends further research and clinical trials to explore their therapeutic potential.

Diabetes mellitus, a prevalent global health concern, is characterized by hyperglycemia. However, recent research reveals a more intricate landscape where oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress orchestrate a dual assault, profoundly impacting diabetic disorders. This review elucidates the interplay between these two stress pathways and their collective consequences on diabetes.

Article Synopsis
  • Eating the right nutrients plays a crucial role in both physical health and mental well-being, with recent studies showing that dietary supplements may help manage depression.
  • Research evaluated the effectiveness of cholecalciferol-D3 (vitamin D3), n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and their combination with fluoxetine (an antidepressant) in reducing depression-like behaviors in a depression model using mice.
  • Results indicated that these treatments improved depressive symptoms and reduced oxidative stress markers in the mice, suggesting potential benefits for using these nutrients alongside traditional depression medications.

A chronic auto-immune-mediated disease Psoriasis is associated with manycoexisting or co-occurringconditions, which include a significant risk of malignancies, especiallyskin tumours. Numerous studies were done to understand whether psoriasis itself, comorbidities related to psoriasis, or psoriasis treatment might increase the risk of neoplasms. We reviewed the relation between psoriasis and cancer risk, also the significance of inflammation in cancer The various classes of drugs used to treat psoriasis, including biologics like tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors; and how they increase cancer risk are deliberated.
