Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a long-term metabolic condition that presents considerable health challenges globally. As the disease progresses, the interplay between genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors becomes increasingly evident, leading to complications. Epigenetics has emerged as a critical area of research, providing insights into how these factors can modify the expression and cellular behavior without altering the underlying DNA sequence.

Caffeine (CAFF) is abundant in black coffee. As one of the most widely consumed beverages globally, coffee has been the focus of increasing clinical and basic research, particularly regarding its benefits in alleviating metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, the therapeutic effects of CAFF on metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Repeated use of nitroglycerin results in a loss of its vasodilatory efficacy which limits its clinical use for the treatment of angina pectoris. This tolerance phenomenon is a defining characteristic of all compounds classified as nitrodilators, which includes NTG as well as S-nitrosothiols and dinitrosyl iron complexes. These compounds vasodilate via activation of soluble guanylate cyclase, although they do not release requisite amounts of free nitric oxide (NO) and some do not even cross the plasma membrane.

Objectives: Echinacoside (ECH) is an anti-fibrotic phenylethanoid glycoside derived from the plant that protects against cardiac dysfunction by mitigating apoptosis, oxidative stress, and fibrosis. Nevertheless, ECH's precise function and mechanisms in addressing cardiac fibrosis are still not fully understood.
Materials And Methods: In our current investigation, we induced cardiac fibrosis in mice by administering Angiotensin II (Ang II) and subsequently assessed the effects of ECH treatment four weeks post-fibrosis induction.

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent male sexual disorder, commonly associated with hypertension, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.
Objective: This study aims to explore the role of Fatty acid synthase (Fasn) in hypertension-induced ED and evaluate the therapeutic potential of the Fasn inhibitor C75.
Materials And Methods: Erectile function was assessed by determining the intracavernous pressure/mean arterial pressure (ICP/MAP) ratio, followed by the collection of cavernous tissue for transcriptomic and non-targeted metabolomic analyses.
