Introduction: Diabetes is increasingly prevalent at global level and associated with various impacts including the male reproductive system.
Aims: This research is aimed at investigating the influence of diabetes on the localization and expression of HSP90 and iNOS in the testicular tissue of diabetic rats.
Methods: A diabetic model was developed through a single injection of alloxan monohydrate intraperitoneally (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich) 120 mg/kg body weight following fasting for 12 hrs. The experiment involved two groups, the control and diabetic groups with 10 albino rats in each group. Diabetes was considered if glucose concentration was ≥200 mg/dl. The experiment duration was for one month. After the experiment had finished, all rats were terminated and prepared for routine histological and immunohistochemical examination.
Results: The results revealed that diabetes caused morphological changes at histological level in testicular tissue. Immunohistochemical examination showed that diabetes significantly upregulated the expression of both HSP90 and iNOS in the testicular tissue of diabetic rats as compared with that of the control group ( < 0.001).
Conclusion: Diabetes may induce adverse health effects on the male reproduction through upregulation of HSP90 and iNOS in the testicular tissue of diabetic rats.

Cadmium (Cd), recognized as an environmental toxin, can cause injury to the testis in humans and animals. Oxidative stress (OS) can trigger an inflammatory response by promoting the activation of nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Meanwhile, inflammation can lead to the occurrence of heat shock reaction.

Article Synopsis
- * In a study with mice, these probiotics boosted protective enzymes, anti-inflammatory cytokines, and beneficial gut bacteria while decreasing harmful apoptosis and inflammation markers.
- * The findings suggest that GKA4 and GKL93 could offer a new way to prevent alcohol-related gastric issues by improving gut health and reducing inflammation.

Background: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) are characterized by severe pulmonary fibrosis and immune dysregulation. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is involved in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis and the immune response.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore whether HSP90 regulates the development of RA-ILD and its underlying mechanism.

Background: There are currently no effective drugs to mitigate the ischemia/reperfusion injury caused by fluid resuscitation after hemorrhagic shock (HS). The aim of this study was to explore the potential of the histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6)-specific inhibitor tubastatin A (TubA) to suppress nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in macrophages under hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) conditions.
Methods: The viability of RAW264.

To investigate the potential protective effect of prior cold stimulation on broiler intestine induced by acute cold stress (ACS). A total of 384 one-day-old broilers were divided into control (CON), ACS, cold stimulation Ⅰ (CS3+ACS), and cold stimulation Ⅱ (CS9+ACS) groups. Broilers in CON and ACS groups were reared normally, and birds in CS3+ACS and CS9+ACS groups were reared at 3℃ and 9℃ below CON group for 5 h, respectively, on alternate days from d 15 to 35.
