Optimal Obesity- and Lipid-Related Indices for Predicting Metabolic Syndrome in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients with and without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in China

Hangtian Li et al.

Summary: A study on chronic kidney disease patients compared seven indices to predict metabolic syndrome and found that visceral adiposity index (VAI) had the highest predictive power, especially for male and female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress Markers Related to Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome

Maria Magdalena Quetglas-Llabres et al.

Summary: Studies have found that MetS patients with low adherence to MDP have higher levels of glycated haemoglobin A1c and triglycerides, as well as lower levels of HDL cholesterol. Those with low adherence to MDP also have higher plasma levels of pro-inflammatory markers, lower antioxidant enzyme activity, and more severe cellular oxidative stress responses. Patients with higher adherence to MDP showed less altered anthropometric parameters, blood biochemical profile, and better oxidative and inflammatory status.

Therapeutic Effect of Curcumin on 5/6Nx Hypertriglyceridemia: Association with the Improvement of Renal Mitochondrial β-Oxidation and Lipid Metabolism in Kidney and Liver

Zeltzin Alejandra Ceja-Galicia et al.

Summary: This study found that curcumin can reverse liver and kidney damage, hypertriglyceridemia, and lipid metabolism disorders caused by chronic kidney disease. The therapeutic effect of curcumin on hypertriglyceridemia in 5/6Nx is associated with the restoration of renal mitochondrial ss-oxidation and the reduction in lipid synthesis and uptake in the kidneys and liver.

Allicin in Digestive System Cancer: From Biological Effects to Clinical Treatment

Yang Zhou et al.

Summary: Allicin, the main active ingredient in freshly-crushed garlic and some other allium plants, has been confirmed to have anticancer effects on digestive system cancers. Epidemiological studies, in vitro experiments, and in vivo studies all demonstrate that allicin and its secondary metabolites inhibit tumor cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, control tumor invasion and metastasis, and have therapeutic potential against digestive system cancers.

Allicin, the Odor of Freshly Crushed Garlic: A Review of Recent Progress in Understanding Allicin's Effects on Cells

Jan Borlinghaus et al.

Summary: Allicin is a volatile organic sulfur compound produced as a defense substance in garlic when tissues are damaged, exhibiting membrane permeability and antimicrobial activity. It can induce apoptosis or necrosis at high doses in eukaryotes, while lower amounts can modulate protein activity and affect cellular signaling. This review summarizes the specific effects of allicin on bacterial and eukaryotic cells.

Allicin attenuates myocardial apoptosis, inflammation and mitochondrial injury during hypoxia-reoxygenation: an in vitro study

Xinyi Deng et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the protective effect of Allicin against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in vitro. Allicin treatment enhanced cell viability, reduced apoptosis, regulated apoptosis-related proteins, decreased inflammation, mitigated oxidative stress, and attenuated mitochondrial injury. These findings suggest the potential therapeutic use of Allicin in treating myocardial IR injury.

Temporal characterization of mitochondrial impairment in the unilateral ureteral obstruction model in rats

Alexis Paulina Jimenez-Uribe et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the time course of mitochondrial mass and bioenergetics alterations induced by a unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO), a widely used model to study kidney fibrosis induction and progression mechanisms. The results showed a marked reduction in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and mitochondrial mass during days 7 to 28 of obstruction, suggesting a key role of mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy induction in the impairment of OXPHOS capacity during fibrotic progression.
