Hereditary hemochromatosis occurs due to genetic mutations, namely, cysteine-to-tyrosine substitution at amino acid 282 (C282Y) and histidine-to-aspartic acid substitution at 63 (H63D) mutations. The role of H63D mutation in hemochromatosis is less clear, and its penetrance is low even in homozygotes. Therefore, iron overload in H63D heterozygotes is extremely rare and scarcely reported.

Butyl phenyl--phosphinate that is not available commercially was prepared from phenyl--phosphinic acid by three methods: by alkylating esterification (i), by microwave-assisted direct esterification (ii), and unexpectedly, by thermal esterification (iii). Considering the green aspects, selectivity and scalability, the thermal variation seemed to be optimal. However, there was need for prolonged heating.

Bisphenol S (BPS) is widely used as a substitute for Bisphenol A (BPA). While perinatal BPS exposure is suspected to increase susceptibility to high-caloric diet-induced adipogenesis, how BPS affects offspring remains largely unknown. This study explored effects of prenatal BPS exposure on adiposity and insulin resistance in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed C57BL/6 offspring, revealing significant changes in body weight, glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and histopathology.

Introduction: The progression of type 2 diabetes in humans appears to be linked to the loss of insulin-producing β-cells. One of the major contributors to β-cell loss is the formation of toxic human IAPP amyloid (hIAPP, Islet Amyloid Polypeptide, amylin) in the pancreas. Inhibiting the formation of toxic hIAPP amyloid could slow, if not prevent altogether, the progression of type 2 diabetes.
