AI Article Synopsis

  • Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related condition that can lead to serious health issues for both mother and baby, including mortality and morbidity.
  • Oxidative stress is considered a key factor in the development of preeclampsia, disrupting normal blood flow and causing issues with placentation.
  • Research has focused on how oxidative damage and an imbalance in antioxidant defenses contribute to the complex mechanisms involved in preeclampsia.

Article Abstract

Exclusively occurred during pregnancy, preeclampsia causing complex multisystem disorders that lead to maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. The major burden in discovering pathogenesis of preeclampsia is still widely noticed. Oxidative stress believed to be one of the major causalin its pathophysiology. Its role on reducing blood perfusion thorugh ischemia results on abnormal placentation. Dysfunction assumed to be caused by oxidative damage and antioxidant defence imbalance as it becoming a central feature in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. This pathway is widely studied and acknowledged recent years.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder that arises during pregnancy and heightens the risk of placental dysplasia. Ginsenoside Re (Re) may stabilize insulin and glucagon to regulate glucose levels, which may improve diabetes-associated diseases. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of Re in high glucose (HG)-induced apoptosis of trophoblasts through endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related protein CHOP/GADD153.

Sperm motility is the prime functional attribute for semen quality and fertility of the bull. However, the bull's age directly affects the semen quality, and the bull's fertility and productive life decline with age. Even though research on age has been conducted in the past, it is still unclear how old a bull should be maintained at artificial insemination centers.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe inflammatory condition of the respiratory system, associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of tocilizumab (TZ), an IL-6 receptor inhibitor, in mitigating lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI by modulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway. An ALI model was established using LPS induction.
