Catalase level was significantly lower and total oxidative stress was significantly higher. These two markers might have significant importance and might exhibit early changes compared to other factors in GDM. . Some of salivary antioxidants might have diagnostic, prognostic or therapeutic implications in GDM. Other studies with large sample size on salivary and blood samples need to be done to confirm this properties and salivary samples using instead of blood samples in GDM biomarkers changes.

It has e.g. neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and hypolipidemic activity. The research proves that it also strongly impacts the carbohydrate metabolism. The compound also protects pancreatic βcells and increases sensitivity to insulin in peripheral tissues via the induction of GLUT-1, GLUT-4 and insulin type 1 (Ins1) receptors activity. It also stimulates glycolysis and leads to a decrease in insulin resistance by macrophages polarization, lipolytic processes induction and energy expenditure enhancement (by reducing body mass and limiting insulin resistance caused by obesity). In liver berberine inhibits FOX01, SREBP1 and ChREBP pathways, and HNF-4α (hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha) mRNA that hinder gluconeogenesis processes. In intestines it blocks α-glucosidase contributing to glucose absorption decrease. Its interference in intestinal flora reduces levels of monosaccharides and suppresses diabetes mellitus complications development.
Increased level of plasma homocysteine (Hcy) is a potential risk factor for several multi-system diseases. The Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C677T variant has been established as an important genetic determinant of hyperhomocysteinemia. There are conflicting reports about the effects of physical activity on plasma Hcy. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to investigate whether the MTHFR C677T variant affects the elite athletic performance.

This study was carried out on 214 individuals (114 elite athletes and 100 sedentary controls). Genotyping was performed using PCR- RFLP method. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of association.

There was a significant difference between the athletes and the control group in genotype distribution and allele frequency of the MTHFR C677T variant. MTHFR C677T CC genotype and C allele were more prevalent in elite athletes than those in the sedentary controls (p =0.007, OR 2.16, 95%1.26-3.70; p=0.009, OR 1.84, 95%1.18-2.89, respectively). The control group had a higher MTHFR C677T CT genotype than the athletes had (p=0.019, OR 0.51, 95%0.30-0.88). There was no deviation from HWE for the MTHFR C677T variant in the groups.

Our findings support that there is an association between the MTHFR C677T C allele and athletic performance among the elite Turkish athletes.

CW069 molecular weight Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have a natural tendency to home in a tumor microenvironment and acts against it, owing to the similarity of the latter to an injured tissue environment. Several studies have confirmed the recruitment of MSCs by tumor through various cytokine signaling that brings about phenotypic changes to cancer cells, thereby promoting migration, invasion, and adhesion of cancer cells. The contrasting results on MSCs as a tool for cancer cytotherapy may be due to the complex cell to cell interaction in the tumor microenvironment, which involves various cell types such as cancer cells, immune cells, endothelial cells, and cancer stem cells. Cell to cell communication can be simple or complex and it is transmitted through various cytokines among multiple cell phenotypes, mechano-elasticity of the extra-cellular matrix surrounding the cancer cells, and hypoxic environments. In this article, the role of the extra-cellular matrix proteins and soluble mediators that acts as communicators between mesenchymal stem cells and cancer cells has been reviewed specifically for breast cancer, as it is the leading member of cancer malignancies. The comprehensive information may be beneficial in finding a new combinatorial cytotherapeutic strategy using MSCs by exploiting the cross-talk between mesenchymal stem cells and cancer cells for treating breast cancer.
The incidence of insulin resistance syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus has increased at an alarming rate worldwide and constitutes a serious challenge to public health care in the 21st century. Endocrine disrupting chemicals are defined as "substances or mixtures of substances that alter the endocrine system function[s] and, hence, adversely affect organisms, their progeny, or [sub] populations" and may be associated with this increase in prevalence.

This study aimed to assess the role of endocrine disrupting chemicals in insulin resistance and the importance of approaching the subject during anamnesis.

a full review of the literature regarding insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes and endocrine disruptors was conducted.

Large-scale production and distribution of endocrine disrupting chemicals coincide with the increase in prevalence of insulin resistance globally. In recent years, studies have shown that endocrine disrupting chemicals are positively associated with insulin resistance syndrome, evidenced by worse prognoses among individuals with higher levels of exposure. Health professionals should recognize the forms of exposure, most susceptible people, and lifestyle habits that can worsen patients' prognoses.
