Obesity, which is caused by an energy imbalance between calorie intake and consumption, has become a major international health burden. Obesity increases the risk of insulin resistance age-related cognitive decline, accompanied peripheral inflammation. (—)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), polyphenol in green tea, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective activities; however, few reports have focused on its potential effect disorders. In this study, our goal was to...

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) can engage a specific immune response and establish long-term immunity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Herein, we design synthesize series of Pt(II)-N-heterocyclic carbene (Pt(II)-NHC) complexes derived from 4,5-diarylimidazole, which show strong anticancer activities vitro. Among them, 2c displays much higher than cisplatin other Pt(II)-NHC complexes, especially HCC cancer cells. In addition, find that is type II ICD inducer, successfully induce endoplasmic...

Background/Objectives: Menopause induces substantial metabolic changes, including a reduction in rate and an elevated risk of developing diseases. Fish oil (FO) supplementation has been shown to ameliorate menopause-associated risks. Hyperthermia treatment (HT) recently gained attention for its potential improve immune health. However, it remains be determined whether HT can confer benefits comparable those FO or enhance the supplementation. This study aims delineate distinctive...

Abstract DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) is well known as a critical component involving the nonhomologous end joining pathway of DNA double-strand breaks repair. Here, we showed another important role DNA-PKcs in stabilizing spindle formation and preventing mitotic catastrophe response to damage. Inactivation by small interfering RNA or specific inhibitor NU7026 resulted an increased outcome polyploidy after 2-Gy 4-Gy irradiation. Simultaneously, high incidence...

Objective Urolithin A (UroA) is a major metabolite of ellagic acid produced following microbial catabolism in the gut. Emerging evidence has suggested that UroA modulates energy metabolism various cells. However, UroA’s physiological functions related to obesity and insulin resistance remain unclear. Methods Male mice were intraperitoneally administrated either or dimethyl sulfoxide (vehicle) along with high‐fat diet for 12 weeks. Insulin sensitivity was evaluated via glucose tolerance tests...

Soluble dietary fiber (DF) reduces the risk of developing diabetes and may have therapeutic effects in patients with type 2 mellitus (DM2). The present study aimed to investigate effect soluble DF on metabolic control DM2. A total 117 DM2 between ages 40 70 were assessed. Patients randomly assigned one two groups, administered extra (10 or 20 g/day), a group (0 g/day) for month. Blood glucose, serum insulin connecting peptide (C-peptide) levels, resistance index, as determined using...

Abstract Many cancer cells critically rely on antioxidant systems for cell survival and are vulnerable to further oxidative impairment triggered by agents generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). Therefore, the classical design development of inhibitors that target defense enzymes such as thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) can be a promising anticancer strategy. Herein, it is shown gold(I) complex containing an oleanolic acid derivative ( 4 b ) induces apoptosis ovarian A2780 activating...

Together with cell cycle checkpoint control, DNA repair plays a pivotal role in protecting the genome from endogenous and exogenous damage. Although increased genetic instability has been associated prostate cancer progression, relative of double-strand break malignant versus normal epithelial cells is not known.

A series of halo and pseudohalo gold(I)–NHC complexes (NHC–Au–X) (X = Cl, Br, I, NCO, OAc) derived from 4,5-diarylimidazoles were synthesized, structurally characterized, analyzed for their biological activities. The most active complex was iodo(1,3-diethyl-4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene)gold(I) (6), which at least 2-fold more cytotoxic than cisplatin auranofin against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. In vivo studies indicated that 6 exhibited a considerably higher...
