Our aim was to explore the effect of telmisartan and/or fish oil on dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)-induced PCOS in rats. Sixty female rats were divided into six equal groups as follows: Control; DHEA-induced PCOS; DHEA + Telmisartan; DHEA + Fish oil; DHEA + Carboxymethyl cellulose; and DHEA + Telmisartan +Fish oil group. Plasma sex hormones, anthropometric measurements, and the glycemic indices were measured. Tissue oxidative stress parameters and the proinflammatory cytokines were assessed. The ovaries were subjected to histopathological and electron microscopic examination. Telmisartan and/or fish oil induced significant improvement of insulin resistance with amelioration of oxidative stress and inflammation compared to PCOS group. Also, telmisartan and/or fish oil restored the hormonal levels and the anthropometric measurements to the normal values. This was significant with telmisartan/fish oil combination compared to the use of each of these agents alone. In conclusion, this combination may represent a promising hope for amelioration of PCOS.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major concern for public health. Fatty liver disease, related to alcohol misuse or metabolic syndrome, has become the leading cause of chronic liver disease and HCC. The strong association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and HCC can be partly attributed to the development of metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Expanding toolkits of EPA/DHA enrichment from natural sources is essential for better satisfying increasing demands for them. Lipase K80, from Proteus vulgaris K80, showed an application potential in EPA/DHA enrichment, whereas no desired heterologous expression in generally regarded as safe (GRAS) hosts restricted its relevant applications. In this study, expression of lipase K80 in a well-reputed GRAS host, Pichia pastoris, was achieved and further enhanced via combining disruption of its C-terminal KKL motif with co-expression of N-Acetyltransferase Mpr1, with a cumulative increment of nearly 200 % in the secretion level and the volumetric activity.

Diabetic cognitive dysfunction (DCD) refers to the cognitive impairment observed in individuals with diabetes. Epidemiological studies have suggested that supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) or B vitamins may prevent the development of diabetic complications. Post hoc studies indicate a potential synergistic effect of n-3 PUFA and B vitamins in preventing cognitive impairment.
