DNMT3A and TET2; Potential Estimates of Generic DNA Methylation in Children and Adolescents with Obesity; Relation to Metabolic Dysregulation

Nouran Salah et al.

Summary: This study found that children and adolescents with obesity have higher levels of DNMT3A and lower levels of TET2 compared to normal-weight counterparts. These differences are more pronounced in individuals with insulin resistance. Furthermore, DNMT3A and TET2 are independently associated with systemic hypertension and insulin resistance in obese children.

The mechanisms and functions of microRNAs in mediating the fate determinations of human spermatogonial stem cells and Sertoli cells

Wei Chen et al.

Summary: This review discusses the important functions and mechanisms of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating the self-renewal and apoptosis of human spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) and Sertoli cells. It also describes the regulatory networks of miRNAs in controlling the decisions of Sertoli cells and suggests future research directions. This review provides new molecular targets and insights into the epigenetic regulation of human spermatogenesis for the treatment of male infertility.

The genetics of obesity: from discovery to biology

Ruth J. F. Loos et al.

Summary: In this review, Loos and Yeo summarize our current understanding of the genetic underpinnings of monogenic and polygenic obesity, highlighting shared genetic and biological underpinnings between the two forms of obesity. Genome-wide association studies with increasing sample sizes have driven recent discoveries, with post-GWAS collaborations facilitating translation of genetic loci into meaningful biology and new treatment avenues.

Selenium, as selenite, prevents adipogenesis by modulating selenoproteins gene expression and oxidative stress-related genes

Nada F. Abo El-Magd et al.

Summary: The study showed that selenium as selenite prevented adipogenesis by increasing antioxidant selenoprotein expression, reducing inflammatory markers, leading to decreased differentiation and lipid deposition, providing potential insights for preventing obesity through novel dietary approaches.

Obesity and male infertility: Mechanisms and management

Kristian Leisegang et al.

Summary: Obesity is a global health problem that affects over a third of the population and can lead to complications such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, malignancy, neurodegeneration, and accelerated aging. In males, obesity can also impact reproductive health through various mechanisms, including disruption of hormonal axes and metabolic dysregulation. Moreover, obesity can negatively affect semen parameters and lead to chromatin condensation, DNA fragmentation, and epigenetic changes that may be passed on to offspring.

Research Progress on the Relationship between Obesity-Inflammation-Aromatase Axis and Male Infertility

Liu Yuxin et al.

Summary: Aromatase plays a crucial role in hormone balance and testicular function, with overexpression potentially leading to testicular dysfunction. Adipose tissue is the primary source of estrogen production in the body, with its high expression of aromatase being influenced by inflammation caused by obesity. There is a complex regulatory relationship between obesity, inflammation, and aromatase.

Rossukon Wongdokmai et al.

Summary: The study found significant associations between serum selenium and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein concentrations with fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and prevalence of prediabetes or diabetes. Low and high serum selenium concentrations, as well as increasing levels of hs-CRP, were linked with an increased risk of prediabetes or diabetes.

Mediterranean diet enriched in extra-virgin olive oil or nuts modulates circulating exosomal non-coding RNAs

Diana C. Mantilla-Escalante et al.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the modulation of exosomal lncRNAs, mRNAs and miRNAs after a 1-year adherence to different diets. Results showed that Mediterranean diets enriched with nuts or extra-virgin olive oil significantly altered exosomal RNA content compared to a low-fat diet, with implications on metabolic pathways. Further investigation into the impact of exosomal RNAs from dietary interventions is warranted.

Epigenetics of Male Infertility: The Role of DNA Methylation

John Charles Rotondo et al.

Summary: Research has shown a correlation between sperm DNA methylation and male infertility, with various genes displaying differential methylation patterns in impaired spermatogenesis and reproductive dysfunction. Specifically, DNA methylation defects in MEST and H19 within imprinted genes, as well as MTHFR within non-imprinted genes, have been linked to male infertility. Further studies are needed to better understand the mechanisms affecting methylation in sperm and its impact on male infertility.

Summary: Supplementation of Se-rich C. militaris polysaccharides showed anti-obesity effects by reducing serum triglyceride and LDL-C levels, inhibiting inflammation, promoting satiety and thermogenesis in HFD-fed mice. It also modulated gut microbiota by decreasing harmful bacteria and increasing beneficial bacteria, which could potentially be used as functional foods against obesity and dysbiosis.
