The present study is to investigate the effects of myricetin on pubertal development and thyroid hormone concentrations in the male rat. The rats were exposed to 25 and 50mg/kg/day of myricetin by gavage from post natal day (PND) 23 to 53. Preputial separation (PPS), organ weights and biochemical and hormone analysis were investigated. PPS was significantly delayed in low dose myricetin groups. Total serum thyroxine (T4) and, triiodothyronine (T3) levels increased in 25mg/kg myricetin dose group but thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level increased in 0.7 μg/kg/day ethinyl estradiol dose groups. Myricetin exposure did not significantly change androgen dependent tissue weights; however myricetin exposure caused congestion, germinal cell debris and tubular atrophy in testis colloidal and tubular degeneration in thyroid gland were observed while there was germinal cell debris in epididymis. This study demonstrated that orally gavages myricetin caused adverse effects on male thyroid-gonadal axis during peripubertal period to pubertal period.

Article Synopsis
- B. pilosa L. is an edible herb traditionally used for healing, and a recent study conducted a detailed analysis of its extract using advanced techniques like UPLC/T-TOF-MS/MS and GC-MS.
- The study found that unsaturated fatty acids (11.38%) and sterols (39.92%) were more prevalent in the extract than saturated fatty acids (8.69%) and hydrocarbons (6.6%), with oleic and palmitic acids being the most significant.
- The extract exhibited a concentration-dependent suppression of cell proliferation in cancer cell lines and showed potential as an inhibitor for certain enzymes, although safety toxicity assessments were missing, indicating a need for further research on its therapeutic effects.

Background: Clinical and epidemiological analyses have found an association between coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Infection with COVID-19 may increase the risk of developing KOA.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the potential causal relationship between COVID-19 and KOA using Mendelian randomization (MR) and to explore the underlying mechanisms through a systematic bioinformatics approach.
