In this paper, concentrations of trace metals such as Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, As, Se, Ag, Cd and Pb were determined in Mugil cephalus of the middle Black Sea coasts by employing inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and microwave digestion technique. Different parts of fish samples were analysed separately such as the gill, muscle and liver. The accuracy of the results has been checked by using a certified reference material (DORM-4). The highest trace metal values determined in different parts of fish were Cr in muscle tissue (0.416 μg/g), Mn in gill tissue (52.246 μg/g), Fe in muscle tissue (11.899 μg/g), Ni in muscle tissue (108.057 μg/g), Cu in liver tissue (261.911 μg/g), As in liver tissue (4.162 μg/g), Se in liver tissue (11.418 μg/g), Ag in liver tissue (0.323 μg/g), Cd in liver tissue (1.11 μg/g) and Pb in gill tissue (3.047 μg/g). These results were also compared with various relevant literature and guidelines.

Background: Exogenous Cushing's syndrome, which results from prolonged glucocorticoid treatment, is associated with metabolic abnormalities. Previously, we reported the inhibitory effect of tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (T-MSC CM) on glucocorticoid signal transduction. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of T-MSCs in a mouse model of exogenous Cushing's syndrome.

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with a multifactorial complicated aetiology that is often coexisting and has a strong and distinct connection with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). In order to accomplish effective and appropriate therapeutic strategies, a deeper understanding of the bidirectional interaction between NAFLD patients, NAFLD patients with T2DM, and NAFLD patients with CVDs is required to control the concomitant rise in prevalence of these conditions worldwide. This article also aims to shed light on the epidemiology and mechanisms behind the relationship between T2DM, NAFLD and the related cardiovascular consequences.

Studies of the aging transcriptome focus on genes that change with age. But what can we learn from age-invariant genes-those that remain unchanged throughout the aging process? These genes also have a practical application: they can serve as reference genes in expression studies. Reference genes have mostly been identified and validated in young organisms, and no systematic investigation has been done across the lifespan.
