Objective: To study the protective mechanism of complex vitamin B (Co VB), GSH and both application on the rat fatty liver.
Methods: 50 male Wistar rats were allocated to 5 groups randomly, which were normal control group (NC), model control group (TC), intervention of Co VB (T-VB), intervention of GSH (T-glu), intervention of Co VB and GSH (T-glu+ B), respectively. Except NC, other groups were treated with a low dose of Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), high fat diet and alcohol water solution to produce fatty liver model. At the same time, experimental groups were drenched Co VB or (and) GSH, respectively. NC and TC group was drenched physiological salt solution for 28 days. The serum and liver lipid were quantified. The content of MDA and activity of SOD in liver were measured, and histomorphology changes of the liver were observed, and so on.
Results: Compared with NC group, rat hepatic cells showed adipose degeneration, and the content of liver MDA and serum ALT was increased in TC group. The content of both serum and hepatic tissue TC, TG were increased, the content of serum AST and HDL were increased, the activity of liver SOD was decreased vs. NC group (P < 0.05). After intervention, adipose degeneration of experiment groups hepatic cells was obviously inhibited, the content of both serum and (or) hepatic tissue TC, TG, ALT and MDA were decreased (P < 0.05), but the content of serum HDL and the activity of liver SOD were increased vs. TC group(P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Co VB and GSH have the protection on fatty liver of rats, the mechanism is that they can inhibit lipid metabolic disorder and antioxidative damage.

Bone damages in laying hens are of great concern in poultry farming. Besides various risk factors like housing systems or nutrient supply during egg production, it has often been hypothesized that genetically high-performing laying hens may be more prone to bone damages. The relevance of dietary support during the rearing period of pullets for optimal bone development has been little addressed so far.

Aim: To study the peculiarities of the ratio of the level of leptin and a number of toxic and essential chemical trace elements in biological environments in adolescent boys aged 13-14 years with obesity and delayed sexual development.
Materials And Methods: Three groups of adolescents aged 13-14 years were studied and formed: the main ones - with constitutional exogenous obesity of 1-2 degrees (1-20 boys without secondary signs of puberty; 2 - 24 boys with 2-4 stages of puberty according to Tanner) and comparisons (3 - 15 boys with normal body weight and without deviations in puberty).

This study aimed to fortify Jamun () juice with vitamin D to address vitamin D deficiency and boost health. A nanoemulsion of vitamin D was fabricated using a low-temperature (4-20C) sonication method and incorporated into the juice. The vitamin D fortified jamun juice (VDFJJ) exhibited a total polyphenol content of 14.

Background: Osteopenia of prematurity (OP) is characterized by reduced bone mineral content, and vitamin D deficiency may worsen OP by affecting bone metabolism.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between maternal vitamin D levels and biochemical markers related to OP.
Materials And Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study, conducted at Shahid Sadoughi hospital, Yazd, Iran, from June 2022 to September 2023, included 49 pregnant women and their preterm infants.

Background And Aims: Maternal obesity increases the risk of the paediatric form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), affecting up to 30% of youth, but the developmental origins remain poorly understood.
Methods: Using a Japanese macaque model, we investigated the impact of maternal Western-style diet (mWSD) or chow diet followed by postweaning WSD (pwWSD) or chow diet focusing on bile acid (BA) homeostasis and hepatic fibrosis in livers from third-trimester fetuses and 3-year-old juvenile offspring.
Results: Juveniles exposed to mWSD had increased hepatic collagen I/III content and stellate cell activation in portal regions.
