Objective: To examine the role of high-fat and high-sugar (HFHS) diet-induced oxidative stress, which is a risk factor for various diseases, in premature ovarian failure (POF).
Materials And Methods: Ovarian granulosa cells (OGCs) were isolated from mice and cultured in medium supplemented with HFHS and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-cross-linked miR-146b-5p nanoparticles (miR-146@PLGA). RNA and protein expression levels were examined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting, respectively. HFHS diet-induced POF model mice were administered miR-146@PLGA.
Results: The ovarian tissue of mice fed a HFHS diet exhibited the typical pathological characteristics of POF. HFHS supplementation induced oxidative stress injury in the mouse OGCs, activation of the Dab2ip/Ask1/p38-Mapk signalling pathway and phosphorylation of γH2A.X in vitro and in vivo. The results of the luciferase reporter assay revealed that miR-146 specifically downregulated p38-Mapk14 expression. Meanwhile, co-immunoprecipitation and Western blot analyses revealed that HFHS supplementation upregulated nuclear p38-Mapk14 expression and consequently enhanced γH2A.X (Ser139) phosphorylation. The HFHS diet-induced POF mouse model treated with miR-146@PLGA exhibited downregulated p38-Mapk14 expression in the OGCs, mitigated OGC ageing and alleviated the symptoms of POF.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that HFHS supplementation activates the Dab2ip/Ask1/p38-Mapk signalling pathway and promotes γH2A.X phosphorylation by inhibiting the expression of endogenous miR-146b-5p, which results in OGC ageing and POF development.

Aims: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a prevalent metabolic disease linked to obesity and metabolic syndrome (MS). The glucolipotoxic environment (GLT) impacts tissues causing low-grade inflammation, insulin resistance and the gradual loss of pancreatic β-cell function, leading to hyperglycemia. We have previously shown that Compound A (CpdA), a plant-derived dissociative glucocorticoid receptor-modulator with inflammation-suppressive activity, displays protective effects on β-cells in type 1 diabetes murine models.

Inorganic nitrate (NO) has been proposed to be of therapeutic use as a dietary supplement in obesity and related conditions including the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS), type-II diabetes and metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Administration of NO to endothelial nitric oxide synthase-deficient mice reversed aspects of MetS, however the impact of NO supplementation in diet-induced obesity is not well understood. Here we investigated the whole-body metabolic phenotype and cardiac and hepatic metabolism in mice fed a high-fat high-sucrose (HFHS) diet for up to 12-months of age, supplemented with 1 mM NaNO (or NaCl) in their drinking water.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the role of the enzyme ELOVL5 in the biosynthesis of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) and its implications for liver conditions, specifically MASH (metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease), revealing how enzyme disruption affects liver metabolism.
- - Research showed that ELOVL5 levels increase during MASH progression and that its absence in mice leads to significant liver issues after a high-fat, high-sucrose diet, including fat accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis.
- - The findings suggest that the loss of ELOVL5 disrupts mitochondrial function, contributes to liver damage from dietary factors, and alters fatty acid metabolism, indicating a critical link between enzyme activity and liver health.
Vitamin E supplementation prevents obesogenic diet-induced developmental abnormalities in SR-B1 deficient embryos.

Article Synopsis
- Genetic and environmental factors contribute to neural tube defects (NTD), notably influenced by the presence of Scavenger Receptor Class B Type 1 (SR-B1) in mouse embryos, where its absence leads to high rates of exencephaly that can be prevented with vitamin E.
- In the study, female mice with SR-B1 were given a high-fat/high-sugar diet to examine its impact on vitamin E levels and oxidative stress in both the mothers and their embryos, along with the incidence of NTD.
- Results showed that the HFHS diet caused metabolic changes and increased NTD rates in embryos, but vitamin E supplementation successfully reduced oxidative stress and improved lipid management in the developing embryos, preventing malformations entirely.

Article Synopsis
- The rising rates of obesity, insulin resistance, and Alzheimer's-like symptoms are linked to lifestyle changes, including poor diet and lack of exercise.
- A study used a high-fat high-sugar mouse model to explore how exercise training, genistein treatment, and their combination affect neurodegeneration-related proteins in the brain.
- Findings show that both exercise alone and genistein alone can reduce obesity and neurodegenerative markers, with the combined approach providing the most significant neuroprotective effects.
