Association between volatile organic compounds and circadian syndrome among pre- and postmenopausal women: A population-based study.

Air pollution is closely associated with the development of multiple metabolic diseases. Circadian syndrome (CircS), as an extended concept of metabolic syndrome (MetS), has been proven to be a better predictor of metabolic diseases than MetS. However, the relationship between volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and CircS in pre- and postmenopausal remains unclear.

Flaxseed oil attenuates PFOS-induced testicular damage by regulating RNA alternative splicing.

: Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent, widely present environmental pollutant, and its toxicity to male reproduction has gradually attracted attention. Flaxseed oil (FO) is a dietary oil abundant in α-linolenic acid and has been demonstrated to possess multiple health benefits. However, whether FO protects against PFOS-induced testicular injury and its mechanism remain unclear.

Exposure to volatile organic compounds and growth indicators in adolescents: Unveiling the association and potential intervention strategies.

Environmental pollutant is considered to be one of the important factors affecting adolescent growth. However, the effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exposure on adolescent growth have not been assessed. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018 was used to examine the associations between VOCs exposure and adolescent growth indicators through three statistical models.

The effect of indoor air filtration on biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress: a review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Improvement of indoor air quality is beneficial for human health. However, previous studies have not reached consistent conclusions regarding the effects of indoor air filtration on inflammation and oxidative stress. This study aims to determine the relationship between indoor air filtration and inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers.

Harnessing Reconstructed Macrophage Modulation of Infiltration-Excluded Immune Microenvironments To Delineate Glioma Infiltrative Region.

High invasiveness of glioma produces residual glioma cells in the brain parenchyma after surgery and ultimately causes recurrence. Precise delineation of glioma infiltrative region is critical for an accurate complete resection, which is challenging. The glioma-infiltrating area constitutes infiltration-excluded immune microenvironments (I-E TIMEs), which recruits endogenous or adoptive macrophages to the invasive edge of glioma.

The Effects of Sesamin Supplementation on Obesity, Blood Pressure, and Lipid Profile: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Aims: Sesamin, the main lignin constituent of sesame, plays a pivotal role in regulating physical state. Some studies have evidenced that the supplementation of sesamin may decrease cardiovascular disease risk. The goal of this systematic review was to summarize evidence of the effects of sesamin supplementation on obesity, blood pressure, and lipid profile in humans by performing a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Sesamin attenuates PM-induced cardiovascular injury by inhibiting ferroptosis in rats.

: This study aimed to elucidate the pharmacological effects of sesamin (Ses) and its mechanism of action towards PM-induced cardiovascular injuries. : Forty Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into five groups: a saline control group; a PM exposure group; and low-, middle-, and high-dose Ses pretreatment groups. The SD rats were pretreated with different concentrations of Ses for 21 days.
