The effect of 48-hour preliminary fasting on the development of acute hepatitis in 24 h after the use of 1,855 mmol D-galactosamine per 1 kg bw has been studied on rats. Both intensification of dystrophic and necrotic processes in the liver and aggravation of ultrastructural changes and disorders have been observed. Concentrations of reduced glutathione in the liver and D-glucaric acid in the urine are not changed under the effect of intoxication.

Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms, metabolic features and susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome: a preliminary study.
Reprod Biomed Online
September 2024
UMF Iuliu Haţieganu, Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
Research Question: Are the combined genotypes and haplotypes of vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms (FokI, ApaI and TaqI) associated with susceptibility to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic features of the disease?
Design: This case-control study included 46 women with PCOS and 48 controls. Genotypes of the VDR gene were determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Waist circumference, and parameters of lipid and glucose metabolism were evaluated in all women.

Article Synopsis
- Schisandra sphenanthera, a fruit used in traditional medicine, is reported to have beneficial effects on diabetes mellitus (DM) by helping with symptoms like prolonged cough and thirst and may aid in diabetes prevention and control.
- The research aims to uncover how Schisandra Sphenanthera (SDP) works against type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) through various scientific methods like biochemical analysis and metabolite assays.
- Findings reveal that SDP can lower blood glucose levels, improve metabolic functions, and activate specific signaling pathways, ultimately leading to therapeutic effects on T2DM and restoring damage in organs like the liver and pancreas.

Background: Experimental and clinical studies have suggested that symbiotics might effectively manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by modulating the intestinal microbiota. However, these studies' limited sources, small sample sizes, and varied study designs have led to inconsistent outcomes regarding glycaemic control. This study aimed to investigate the effects of symbiotics on the anthropometric measures, glycaemic control, and lipid profiles of patients with T2DM.

Background/objectives: Myostatin, primarily produced by skeletal muscle, inhibits muscle growth and promotes protein degradation. It has been implicated in conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. However, its association with endothelial function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients remains unclear.
