Vitamin D is essential for calcium-phosphorus homeostasis, skeletal mineralization, and cardiovascular health. Its deficiency associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin while identifying underlying mechanisms. Forty-eight Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: control, deficient (VD-), (MetS), combined (VD- + MetS). VD- MetS fed a D-deficient diet calcium phosphate prevent secondary hyperparathyroidism determine direct effects D. Metabolic was induced via 10% fructose in drinking water 8 weeks. Evaluations included markers (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity), myocardial injury indicators (lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] creatine kinase-MB [CK-MB]), oxidative stress/inflammation (malondialdehyde [MDA] nitric oxide [NO]). Vascular reactivity thoracic aorta tissues, heart weight, histopathological changes also assessed. The results revealed that strongly related each component syndrome.

Insulin resistance (IR) plays a crucial role in the development and progression of metabolism-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, tumors, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, provides basis for common understanding these chronic diseases. In this study, we provide systematic review causes, mechanisms, treatments IR. The pathogenesis IR depends on genetics, obesity, age, drug effects. Mechanistically, any factor leading to abnormalities insulin signaling pathway leads host, including receptor abnormalities, disturbances internal environment (regarding inflammation, hypoxia, lipotoxicity, immunity), metabolic function organelles, other abnormalities. available therapeutic strategies are mainly exercise dietary habit improvement, chemotherapy based biguanides glucagon-like peptide-1, traditional Chinese medicine (e.g., herbs acupuncture) can also be helpful.

Abstract Childhood obesity is, according to the WHO, one of most serious challenges 21st century. More than 100 million children have today. Already during childhood, almost all organs are at risk being affected by obesity. In this review, we present current knowledge about diseases associated with childhood and how they weight loss. One major causative factor is obesity‐induced low‐grade chronic inflammation, which can be observed already in preschool children. This inflammation—together endocrine, paracrine, metabolic effects obesity—increases long‐term for several severe diseases.
