Article Synopsis
  • Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has uncertain effects on bone mineral density (BMD), prompting ongoing research to clarify the relationship between the two.
  • A systematic review of 30 studies involving nearly 6,500 participants found no overall significant difference in BMD between those with and without T2D, but showed lower BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck in diabetic patients.
  • There were hints of publication bias in the studies reviewed, indicating potential issues with the representation of available data on T2D and BMD.

Comparative evaluation and QSAR modeling of developmental neurotoxicity of novel brominated flame retardants in zebrafish.

Sci Total Environ

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Breeding Biotechnology and Sustainable Aquaculture, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430072, China.

The novel brominated flame retardants (NBFRs) have received wide concerns due to their ubiquitous occurrence in the environment and their potential risks to ecosystems and human health. However, the toxicity data of NBFRs are still lacking, especially their toxicity comparison data, and toxicity predictions for untested NBFRs are extremely limited. In this study, eight commonly used NBFRs and decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE209) were selected to compare their toxicity at concentrations between 0.

Article Synopsis
  • Ginseng, particularly its component Ginsenoside Rb1 (GRb1), shows promise in treating ulcerative colitis (UC) by reducing intestinal inflammation and improving the integrity of the intestinal barrier.
  • In laboratory studies on mice with UC, GRb1 treatment led to lower levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and higher levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines, positively affecting intestinal health.
  • The research suggests that GRb1's beneficial effects are linked to its interaction with specific signaling pathways (VDR, PPARγ, and NF-κB) that regulate inflammation and barrier function in the intestines.
