Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the associations of cholesterol ester transfer protein () rs6499861 and rs12708980 with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) considering obesity and family history of diabetes (FHD) in Korean men and women.
Methods: We analyzed the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with HDL-C among individuals selected from a hospital (n=4 294) and the Bundang-gu area in Korea (n=2 304).
Results: We found that the SNP rs6499861 was associated with a lower HDL-C level (effect per allele: -2.044 mg/dL, <0.0001). Individuals with a rs6499861 CG/GG genotype had a 1.45-fold higher risk of an abnormal level of HDL-C (<40 mg/dL) than those with a CC genotype. This genotype-HDL-C association was stronger in women (odds ratio [OR], 1.99; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.39-2.85) compared with men (OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.10-1.61) and in women with a FHD (OR, 4.82; 95% CI, 1.86-12.5; =0.0012) compared with women without a family history. Relative to individuals with a CC genotype and body mass index (BMI) <25.69 kg/m, individuals with a CG/GG genotype and BMI ≥25.69 kg/m had an OR (95% CI) of 2.61 (1.97-3.47).
Conclusions: These findings indicate that variants are linked to HDL-C level in Koreans and that this link is stronger in obese men and in women who have a FHD.

Background: In Jordan, obesity has emerged as a significant public health concern, particularly among females, with a prevalence of 43.1%. This rising trend, exacerbates the burden of non-communicable diseases and places increasing strain on the healthcare system.

Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy.
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine-metabolic syndrome mainly characterized by ovarian dysfunction, which is only one manifestation of a more complex syndrome with a significant systemic impact.
Evidence Acquisition: We review scientific literature on the pathophysiology and diagnosis of PCOS evaluating the most relevant data from original articles, reviews and meta-analyses published until June 2024.
Evidence Synthesis: From a pathophysiological point of view, the concurrence of both metabolic aspects, such as insulin resistance and obesity, and hormonal alterations, such as hyperandrogenemia, might produce the most relevant clinical signs and/symptoms of this syndrome, for instance menstrual irregularities, hair loss, acne and hirsutism.
Influence of Ty3/gypsy and Ty1/copia LTR-retrotransposons on the large genomes of Alstroemeriaceae: genome landscape of Bomarea edulis (Tussac) Herb.

Laboratory of Plant Cytogenetics and Evolution, Department of Botany, Biosciences Centre, Federal University of Pernambuco, Recife, PE, 50670-901, Brazil.
Repetitive elements are the main components of many plant genomes and play a crucial role in the variation of genome size and structure, ultimately impacting species diversification and adaptation. Alstroemeriaceae exhibits species with large genomes, not attributed to polyploidy. In this study, we analysed the repetitive fraction of the genome of Bomarea edulis through low-coverage sequencing and in silico characterization, and compared it to the repeats of Alstroemeria longistaminea, a species from a sister genus that has been previously characterized.

Public Health Research, DEFACTUM, Central Denmark Region, Aarhus, Denmark.
Background: Loneliness is a public health concern associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Adverse health behaviours and a higher body mass index (BMI) have been proposed as key mechanisms influencing this association. The present study aims to examine the relationship between loneliness, adverse health behaviour and a higher BMI, including daily smoking, high alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, unhealthy dietary habits, and obesity in men and women and across different life stages.
