Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Despite its incidence, poorly understood and remains underdiagnosed, female patients are diagnosed with a delay. The heterogenous nature this complex results from combined occurrence genetic, environmental, endocrine, behavioral factors. Primary clinical manifestations PCOS derived excess androgens (anovulation, polycystic morphology, lack or scanty, irregular menstrual periods, acne hirsutism), whereas secondary include multiple metabolic, cardiovascular, psychological disorders. Dietary lifestyle factors play important roles development course PCOS, which suggests strong epigenetic environmental influences. Many studies have shown association between chronic, low-grade inflammation both ovarian tissue throughout body. In vast majority patients, elevated values inflammatory markers their gene been reported. Development vicious cycle chronic state additionally stimulated by hyperinsulinemia obesity. Changes DNA methylation, histone acetylation noncoding RNA levels presented review context oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species, signaling PCOS. Epigenetic modulation androgenic activity response to also discussed.

The comprehensive anabolic effects of insulin throughout the body, in addition to control glycemia, include ensuring lipid homeostasis and anti-inflammatory modulation, especially adipose tissue (AT). prevalence obesity, defined as a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, has been increasing worldwide on pandemic scale with accompanying syndemic health problems, including glucose intolerance, resistance (IR), diabetes. Impaired sensitivity or IR paradoxically leads diseases an inflammatory component despite hyperinsulinemia. Therefore, excess visceral AT obesity initiates chronic low-grade conditions that interfere signaling via receptors (INSRs). Moreover, response IR, hyperglycemia itself stimulates primarily defensive associated subsequent release numerous cytokines real threat organ function deterioration. In this review, all components vicious cycle are characterized particular emphasis interplay between both innate adaptive immune responses related obesity.

Aedes aegypti is the primary vector of dengue virus (DENV), zika (ZIKV), and other emerging infectious diseases concern. A key disease mitigation strategy control, which relies heavily on use insecticides. The development insecticide resistance poses a major threat to public health worldwide. Unfortunately, there limited number chemical compounds available for these chemicals can have off-target effects that harm invertebrate vertebrate species. Fundamental basic science research needed identify novel molecular targets be exploited control. Next-generation insecticides will unique mechanisms action used in combination limit selection resistance. Further, species-specific effects. Studies shown mosquitoes rely nutrients during multiple life cycle stages. Targeting metabolic pathways promising direction deprive nutrition interfere with development. Metabolic are also important cycle. Here, we review studies reveal importance dietary stored mosquito infection suggest strategies next-generation focus trehalase inhibitors.

The insulin family consists of insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), 2 (IGF-2), their receptors (IR, IGF-1R and IGF-2R), binding proteins. All three ligands are involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, protein synthesis metabolism due to homologous sequences structural similarities. Insulin-like 2, a member the family, plays an important role embryonic development, metabolic disorders, tumorigenesis by combining with different degrees affinity. main pathological feature various fibrotic diseases is excessive deposition extracellular matrix (ECM) after tissue organ damage, which eventually results organic dysfunction because scar formation replaces parenchyma. As mitogenic factor, IGF-2 overexpressed many diseases. It can promote proliferation fibroblasts significantly, as well production ECM time- dose-dependent manner. This review aims describe expression changes fibrosis-promoting effects skin, oral cavity, heart, lung, liver, kidney tissues.
