AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the antagonistic effects of acrylamide (AA) and ethanol (Et) on the bone quality of adult mice divided into four groups: one receiving AA, one receiving Et, one receiving both, and a control group.
- Individual and combined exposure to AA and Et did not significantly affect body weight or bone length/weight, but notable changes in liver enzymes and bone health markers were observed.
- The results indicated that both toxins negatively impacted bone health parameters, with the greatest effects seen in the group that received both substances simultaneously.
Article Abstract
The aim of present study was to verify antagonistic effect of acrylamide (AA) and ethanol (Et) on bone quality parameters. Adult mice ( = 20) were segregated into four groups following 2 weeks administration of toxins: group E1, which received AA (20 mg/kg body weight daily); group E2, which received 15% Et (1.7 g 100% Et/kg body weight daily); group E12, which received simultaneously both toxins; and a control group. An insignificant impact of individual applications of AA, Et or their simultaneous supplementation on the total body weight of mice and the length and weight of their femoral bones was identified. In group E1, higher levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), triglyceride (TG), a decreased level of glutathione (GSH) and elevated endocortical bone remodelling were determined. A significantly lower relative volume of cortical bone, bone mineral density (BMD), elevated endocortical bone remodelling and cortical porosity, higher levels of ALT, AST, lower values for total proteins (TP), GSH, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcium, and phosphorus were recorded in group E2. In the mice from group E12, the highest endocortical bone remodelling, decreased values for BMD, TP, GSH and ALP and increased levels of ALT and AST were found. Our findings confirmed the antagonistic impact of AA and Et at doses used in this study on biochemical and morphological parameters consistent with bone health in an animal model.

Division of Pediatric Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Florida College of Medicine, PO Box 100119, Gainesville, FL, 32610-0119, USA.
Purpose: Initial recommendations for ECMO had relative contraindications for low birth weight (BW) or low gestational age (GA) babies. However, more recent literature has demonstrated improved and acceptable outcomes of ECMO in smaller neonates. The purpose of this study was to understand both utilization and survival in patients with lower GA and BW.

Study Objective: The osmol gap can help detect and manage those with toxic alcohol exposure, and it is altered by all alcohols including ethanol. The optimal correction for ethanol that would allow accurate detection of an alternative alcohol is unclear.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study to assess baseline variations in osmol gap, and then to assess the validity of 2 commonly used coefficients (correction factors) for ethanol.

Department of Urology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, 107 Wenhuaxi Road Jinan, Shandong, 250012, People's Republic of China.
Background: An association exists between obesity and reduced testosterone levels in males. The propose of this research is to reveal the correlation between 15 indices linked to obesity and lipid levels with the concentration of serum testosterone, and incidence of testosterone deficiency (TD) among adult American men.
Methods: The study utilized information gathered from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) carried out from 2011 to 2016.

Department of Surgery, Center for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism, Children's Hospital Los Angeles and Keck School of Medicine of USC, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
Background: Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia, primarily due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, leads to impaired cortisol and aldosterone production and excess adrenal androgens. Lifelong glucocorticoid therapy is required, often necessitating supraphysiological doses in youth to manage androgen excess and growth acceleration. These patients experience higher obesity rates, hypertension, and glucose metabolism issues, complicating long-term health management.
