Galactosamine injury of rat liver brings about induction of microsomal oxidation enzymes after 24 hours. Such a conclusion may be arrived at on the basis of an analysis of variation in the activity of cytochrome P-450, cytochrome b5, and NADH ferricyanide reductase while comparing normal and galactosamine-treated rats. In vitro galactosamine leads to activation of enzymatic lipid peroxidation. This circumstance may underlie hepatotoxicity of the compound in question. The monitoring coagulation method has revealed a marked hemorrhagic syndrome after galactosamine administration. Upset synthesis of export liver protein is assumed.

Ferroptosis is a unique form of cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, with regulatory mechanisms involving metabolic dysregulation and imbalance in redox systems. Ferroptosis is closely related to various immune cells in the tumor immune microenvironment, including both anti-tumor and pro-tumor immune cells, and it demonstrates significant potential in tumor immunotherapy. A systematic review of the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis and its relationship with immune cells can provide deeper insights into its application prospects in tumor immunotherapy.

Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are anthropogenic chemicals extensively used in consumer products. Perfluorobutane sulfonate (PFBS), a short-chain PFAS, has been introduced as an alternative to long-chain PFAS, but limited studies have investigated its reproductive toxicity in fish. In this study, adult zebrafish were exposed to PFBS at concentrations of 0.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a common disease in the elderly, characterized by decreased bone strength, reduced bone density, and increased fracture risk. There are two clinical types of osteoporosis: primary osteoporosis and secondary osteoporosis. The most common form is postmenopausal osteoporosis, which is caused by decreased estrogen production after menopause.

Dormant disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) remain viable for years to decades before establishing a clinically overt metastatic lesion. DTCs are known to be highly resilient and able to overcome the multiple biological hurdles imposed along the metastatic cascade. However, the specific metabolic adaptations of dormant DTCs remain to be elucidated.
