The aim of our study was the investigation of the peculiarities of lipid metabolism in the patients with metabolic syndrome and impaired carbohydrate metabolism of various degrees after diet and moderate exercise. We selected 123 overweight patients from Imereti Region. Metabolic syndrome in patients was determined by World Health Organization -2002 classification. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein and atherogenic indices have been measured. Diet and exercise - changes in the life style decreases the risk of metabolic syndrome development and decrease fasting and postprandial glucose. It was also indicated that the parameters of lipid metabolism sharply improved by diet and exercise and the degree of improvement was practically identical in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and impaired glucose tolerance.

Cyclophosphamide is a key component of numerous chemotherapeutic protocols, demonstrating broad-spectrum efficacy against various malignancies and non-cancerous conditions. This review examines CPM's metabolic pathways, therapeutic applications, and its resulting organ-specific toxicities. Despite its clinical benefits in treating nephrotic syndrome, encephalomyelitis, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and other diseases, CPM is associated with significant adverse effects on the kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, and intestines.

The aim of the work was to evaluate the in vivo effect of triterpene alcohol betulin Roth isolated from the bark of birch Betula pendula Roth. added to fat-containing products (for example, mayonnaise) on the biochemical parameters of blood and the morphological structure of the liver of rats with initiated acute toxic hepatitis.

Context: The medications for metabolic syndromes are very minimal and the available are not effective and show adverse effects. There is a huge need for the development of effective and safe drugs to battle metabolic syndromes. In this context, our study aimed to decipher the key molecules from Artocarpus communis seed hexane fraction and their possible mechanism of action against metabolic syndrome.

This study aimed to evaluate the comparative efficacy of Myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI) with metformin in enhancing ovarian function, promoting ovulation, and reducing perceived stress in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS were identified using the Androgen Excess Society's criteria, and 60 participants were enrolled and divided equally into two groups. One group received a 40:1 ratio of MI plus DCI, while the other received metformin for a 12-week period.
