Laetrile, known as vitamin B17, is often used interchangeably with amygdalin. Laetrile is a semi-synthesis product of amygdalin, whereas amygdalin is a naturally occurring substance in many plants. Both compounds have a nitrile functional group that, when activated by the intestinal enzyme β-glucosidases, releases hydrogen cyanide.

Current treatment paradigms for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) are based primarily on dietary restrictions and the use of existing drugs, including anti-diabetic and anti-obesity medications. Given the limited number of approved drugs specifically for MASH, recent efforts have focused on promising strategies that specifically target hepatic lipid metabolism, inflammation, fibrosis, or a combination of these processes. In this review, we examined the pathophysiology underlying the development of MASH in relation to recent advances in effective MASH therapy.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. The great variability in disease evolution and the incomplete understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying AD make it difficult to predict when a patient will convert from prodromal stage to dementia. We hypothesize that metabolic alterations present at the level of the brain could be reflected at a systemic level in blood serum of patients, and that these alterations could be used as prognostic biomarkers.

In recent years, epigenetic modifications have attracted significant attention due to their unique regulatory mechanisms and profound biological implications. Acting as a bridge between environmental stimuli and changes in gene activity, they reshape gene expression patterns, providing organisms with regulatory mechanisms to respond to environmental changes. A growing body of evidence indicates that epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of psoriasis.
