This study was designed to test the effect of supplementation of several antioxidants, including alpha-tocopherol, on the clinical reduction of premalignant oral lesions. Samples of oral mucosa and serum were taken from baseline to 9 months of supplementation from patients with premalignant oral lesions and analyzed for alpha-tocopherol by HPLC. Statistical increases in both serum and tissue alpha-tocopherol were found after supplementation. There was no statistical relationship between alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene levels.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a life-threatening condition, with a higher mortality rate in men than women and in which estrogens might play a protective role. This study aimed to investigate sex-dependent differences in a mouse model of caerulein-induced AP. Thirty-six C57BL/6J mice (19 females and 17 males) were treated intraperitoneally with phosphate-buffered saline or caerulein, and sacrificed 12 hours, 2 days, or 7 days after the last injection.

Objective: Obesity is a major risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). Adipose tissues may be linked to OA development through secretion of potential proinflammatory cytokines including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL). Our objective was to assess changes in serum NGAL after a low-calorie diet (LCD) and subsequent glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) treatment.

This study aims to explore the relationship between the gut microbiome, serum metabolome, and FR in chronic LBP patients.
Methods: Serum metabolomic profiling and gut microbiome analysis were conducted in chronic LBP patients with and without FR (LBP + FR, = 40; LBP, = 40) and Healthy Controls (HC, = 31).

Introduction Evidence suggests inflammation plays a key role in the development of ovarian malignancy. This study investigated the relationship between the C-reactive protein (CRP) to serum albumin (Alb) ratio and clinicopathological parameters in ovarian cancer patients. The goal was to determine if this readily measurable inflammatory marker could provide insights into disease severity.
