AB  - Cholesterol as very important biomolecule is the precursor of many biologically significant compounds which give strength and flexibility to the biological membranes. It is also a crucial component in lipoproteins, and has an important role to transport hydrophobic molecules in hydrophilic media such as blood [1, 2]. The analytical performance of carbon paste electrodes (CPE) bulk modified with ionic liquid 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([AMIM][DCA]), and surface modified with platinum on graphitized carbon (Pt-C) or platinum-ruthenium alloy on graphitized carbon (Pt,Ru-C) for analysis of hydrogen peroxide (H 2O2) were compared. The prepared working electrodes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy–energydispersive X-ray spectrometry, together with electrochemical impedance spectroscopic, cyclic voltammetric, and amperometric techniques. After method optimization, an enzyme cholesterol oxidase (ChOx) was immobilized on the surface of Pt,Ru-C/IL-CPE by Nafion®. The improved cholesterol amperometric determination was achieved in phosphate buffer solution pH 7.50 at a working potential of 0.60 V. Under the optimized experimental conditions, a linear relationship between oxidation current and cholesterol concentration was in the concentration range from 0.31 to 2.46 µM, with an estimated detection limit of 0.13 µM and relative standard deviation (RSD) below 4.2%. The optimized amperometric method in combination with the developed ChOx/Pt,Ru-C/IL-CPE biosensor showed good repeatability and high selectivity towards cholesterol biosensing despite the presence of possible interferences. The ChOx/Pt,Ru-C/IL-CPE was tested for the determination of the free cholesterol, by its enzymatic reaction product H 2O2, in a human blood serum sample. The percentage recovery ranged from 99.08 to 102.81%, while RSD was below 2.0% for untreated, as well as for spiked human blood serum sample.

AB  - The aspect of the detection of hydrogen isotopes in nuclear materials was analyzed in this review. Particular attention was paid to the spectroscopic methods for the detection of hydrogen isotopes in fusion reactor materials since their presence can induce severe problems in terms of material degradation and shortening of its lifetime. The main focus is on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, an optical emission method that is efficient, reliable, and fast. Recent results obtained at the VINCA Institute will also be presented.

AB  - Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are well known as a promising therapeutic agent due to their excellent pro-oxidant, antioxidant, antibacterial and anticancer properties under visible light irradiation. This material is easy to produce by several bottom-up or top-down methods. In this study, we used citric acid as starting precursor to synthesize aqueous carbon quantum dots dispersion by pyrolysis at 210 ◦C. Atomic force microscopy and XPS analyses revealed that CQDs synthesized are quasi-spherical with typical diameter of 9 nm and lots of C–O and C––O functional groups distributed over the basal plane and edges of the dots. Here, we investigated the antiviral properties of CQDs against cytomegalovirus (CMV). The pre-treatment with CQDs upregulates interferonstimulated genes (ISG), resulting in better virus control. Cellular defence against cytomegalovirus of CQDs pre-treated cells is increased in a dose-dependent manner. Our results reveal high biocompatibility and potent in vitro antiviral properties of CQDs.

AB  - The increasing popularity of luminescent nanothermometry in recent years can be attributed to its application potential in biomedicine. In response to this need, we describe a biocompatible bimodal luminescent thermometer that operates in ratiometric and luminescence lifetime modes based on particles of MgTiO3:Cr3+,Nd3+@SiO2. The introduction of Cr3+ and Nd3+ dopants enabled the luminescence of Ti3+ ions to be observed, and the difference in the thermal quenching rates of Cr3+ (4T2→4A2), Ti3+ (2T2→2E) and Nd3+ (4F3/2 → 4I11/2) ions enabled the ratiometric thermometers. The highest sensitivity reaching SR = 1.00%K−1 was obtained for MgTiO3:0.1 % Cr3+, 0.1 % Nd3+ at 203 K. The shortening of the lifetime of the 4T2 level of Cr3+ ions associated with its thermal depopulation allows to develop a lifetime-based thermometer with a relative sensitivity reaching 0.85–1.18%K−1 in the physiological temperature range. The deposition of a SiO2 shell on a MgTiO3:Cr3+,Nd3+ did not introduce significant changes in the shape of the emission spectrum and slightly elongates the lifetime by reducing the probability of surface-related nonradiative processes. More importantly, the thermometric performance of this luminescence thermometer was preserved. The low cytotoxicity of the obtained materials underlines their potential in bioapplications of the described luminescent thermometers.

AB  - Irradiated fig pomace pyrochar (IrrPyrFP) is noteworthy as a novel sterilized low-cost sorbent of BTEX, pesticides, and Pb2+ ions. It was produced by applying pyrolysis treatment followed by gamma irradiation modification in order to obtain a highly efficient and sterile sorbent. The characterization of fig pomace before and after pyrolysis, as well as before and after irradiation of the obtained pyrochar, was done using SEM, FTIR, and elemental analysis, while its sorption ability was tested through the removal of examined pollutants by batch sorption experiments. The obtained results suggest that IrrPyrFP could play a significant role in the control of environmental pollutants, as indicated by the maximum adsorption capacities: 42 mg g−1 for BTEX, 0.625 mg g−1 for malathion, 0.495 mg g−1 for chlorpyrifos and 255 mg g−1 for Pb2+. A kinetic study showed that the removal process by IrrPyrFP mainly follows pseudo 2nd kinetics order, while the sorption equilibriums were estimated using the Langmuir and Freundlich model. Overall, the findings of this work suggest that pyrolysis and activation by irradiation of waste biomass is a promising way to produce sterile efficient sorbents for waste-water treatment based on green chemistry. Additionally, the demonstrated application of fig pomace promotes the potential of using this biomass for continual and economical waste management in the rising fig industry.

AB  - Eu3+ doped Zirconia coatings were synthesized by the electrochemical plasma electrolytic oxidation method in only 8 min from the pure zirconium substrate. The phase constitution from pure monoclinic to pure tetragonal and exactly in between was achieved by using different concentrations of Na3PO4 and NaAlO2 electrolytes. The complex emission spectra composed of Eu2+, Eu3+, and ZrO2 defect emission greatly depend on the excitation wavelength and phase constitution. Eu3+ photoluminescence properties depend on the phase, which is reflected by the different Stark splitting and different intensities of transitions. Thus, both phase and photoluminescent properties of ZrO2 coatings are fine-tuneable. Judd-Ofelt analysis was performed from the emission and excitation spectra, showing that all 3 intensity parameters depend linearly on the phase constitution, being largest in the pure monoclinic phase. The mixed phase has Judd-Ofelt parameters between those in pure phases. Eu3+ has 2.45 times more preference to get incorporated into the tetragonal than in the monoclinic phase in the mixed phase samples. The general equation for Judd-Ofelt parameters in a compound with mixed constituents and probability of incorporation is introduced, allowing also for a prediction of the spectrum shape based on the Judd-Ofelt parameters of pure-phase compounds. Python software code for estimating the percent of incorporation by multiple linear regression model is also provided.

AB  - We report on the results of the first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) of the electronic structure and mechanical properties of K2LiAlF6, both non-doped and doped with Cr3+ ions. The densities of states of K2LiAlF6 and the K2LiAlF6:Cr3+ phosphor as well as the crystal-field strength 10Dq, the Cr3+ 2E→4A2 emission energy, elastic constants, bulk and shear moduli, sound velocities and Debye temperature as functions of hydrostatic pressure ranging from 0 up to 40 GPa were calculated. The present DFT calculations indicate that, the band gap of non-doped K2LiAlF6 increases quadratically with increasing pressure. Further, the crystal field strength 10Dq and the 2E→4A2 emission energy, the Debye temperature, sound velocities and shear moduli of Cr-doped K2LiAlF6 increase with increasing pressure, while the 2E→4A2 emission energy becomes red-shifted, which indicates potential applicability of the studied system for pressure sensing. Such calculations for the title system were performed for the first time; the obtained results provide a firm basis for a deeper understanding of physical properties of both neat and doped functional materials.

AB  - Thirty-two glasses from four Byzantine fortifications located on the Danube in Serbia, dated to the sixth-century CE, are analysed by PIXE/PIGE, and their compositional types are determined. Most of the glasses belong to Late Antique type Foy 2.1 (22), the rest being Foy 3.2 (3), HIMTa (1), Levantine (2), plant-ash (3), and coloured black (1). The diversity of compositional types and provenances characterizing the same area during the third to fourth century, changed in the sixth century into uniformity of glass types and provenance: more than two-thirds of all glass types represent only one type (Foy 2.1), and at least 87% of all imports came from a single region, Egypt. Apart from two glasses reported herein, no Levantine glasses are reported from Serbia, and almost none from the inner Balkans, which is in contrast with the rest of the Mediterranean excluding Egypt. The reasons for this might be the economic aftermath of earlier Hunnic raids or possible centralization of raw glass imports during the Justinian rebuilding program. Two plant ash glasses of mixed composition, showing characteristics of Egyptian plant-ash flux and Mesopotamian sand, likely represent recycled glass originating from these two regions.

AB  - The creation of novel biocompatible Ti-based thin films with a Zr or Cu sub-layer modified by ultrafast laser processing is studied. To prepare bioactive surfaces, ultrafast laser processing is focused on the formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) with the production of oxide phases at the surfaces. Two differently designed multilayer thin films Ti/Cu/Ti and Ti/Zr/Ti were deposited on the silicon using the ion sputtering method. The Ti thin film contains Cu or Zr sub-layer (thickness of 10 nm) at the 10 nm below the surface. The composition and surface morphology variations for these systems, deposited and laser-processed under the same experimental conditions, were caused only by different thermo-physical properties of the sub-layer (Cu or Zr). The surface morphology in the form of LIPSS, led to improved cell adhesion and stable cells/thin films interface compared to as-deposited samples. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy and MTT analysis revealed that laser processing of both systems increased cell adhesion, proliferation, and metabolical activity of L929 mouse fibroblast cells compared to non-modified flat surfaces. Overall, the biocompatibility of Zrcontaining thin films is better than Ti/Cu/Ti system. Further, laser processing and formation of LIPSS makes Ti/Zr/Ti thin films excellent candidate for biomedical

AB  - Increased fructose intake via industrial food is associated with metabolic syndrome(MetS). MetS is characterized by chronic low-intensity inflammation caused by oxidativestress and activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Walnuts are a rich source ofantioxidants and polyunsaturated n-3 fatty acids that exert anti-inflammatory/immunomodulatory effects on cardiometabolic health, which molecularbackground is underexplored.Walnut consumption (2.4 g/day, 6 weeks) reduced systolic blood pressure in ratsfed a fructose-rich diet (10% FRD, 15 weeks), showed a protective effect on theantioxidative axis SIRT1-FoxO3a-MnSOD/catalase and anti-inflammatory cardiac capacity(AA/EPA reduction) and promoted the anti-inflammatory profile of plasma fatty acids(AA/EPA and AA/DHA reduction), which were compromised by FRD. The role of theaxis negative regulators, Nox4 and ChREBP, should be further investigated in the heartbecause the Nox4 level was increased by both, FRD and walnut supplementation, whilethe ChREBP nuclear level was reduced in FRD as well as in control rats subjected towalnuts. FRD activated a signaling pathway that regulated inflammation by increasing thelevels of the transcription factor NF-κB and the key RAS enzyme, ACE, while walnutsupplementation in FRD rats increased ACE2 level, a cardioprotective component of theRAS. The protein/mRNA levels of the RAS receptors, AT1R and AT2R, were not affectedby either of the two nutritional factors.This study confirmed the beneficial effects of walnut consumption oncardiometabolic status and proposed the mechanisms underlying their anti-inflammatoryand antioxidative effects in the heart, indicating the possibility for development of novel,non-pharmacological approaches in cardiometabolic disease therapy.

All the samples crystallize in a monoclinic Fergusonite-beta-(Y) structure (C2/c space group), with 45–65 nm crystallite sizes and show a strong orange/red luminescence with 5D0 excited state lifetimes of around 0.6 ms. Photoluminescence emission spectra showed no concentration quenching within the examined concentration range. Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters show a slight increase with rising concentration, up to Ω2 = 8.13∙10−20 cm2, Ω4 = 2.67∙10−20 cm2, and Ω6 is concentration invariant with the 0.35∙10−20 cm2 value. Emission lifetimes of the 5D0 state are almost constant with ∼0.6 ms, and a slight decrease is observed with the highest concentrations. The intrinsic quantum yield of all the samples is about 0.5.

All the samples crystallize in a monoclinic Fergusonite-beta-(Y) structure (C2/c space group), with 45–65 nm crystallite sizes and show a strong orange/red luminescence with 5D0 excited state lifetimes of around 0.6 ms. Photoluminescence emission spectra showed no concentration quenching within the examined concentration range. Judd–Ofelt intensity parameters show a slight increase with rising concentration, up to Ω2 = 8.13∙10−20 cm2, Ω4 = 2.67∙10−20 cm2, and Ω6 is concentration invariant with the 0.35∙10−20 cm2 value. Emission lifetimes of the 5D0 state are almost constant with ∼0.6 ms, and a slight decrease is observed with the highest concentrations. The intrinsic quantum yield of all the samples is about 0.5.",

AB  - The understanding of complex relationships between luminescent properties, local symmetry of an emitting center, and the host crystal structure provides a better insight into optical properties of materials. In this work, the alkaline earths CaF2 and BaF2 fluoride crystals doped with 0.1 mol% ErF3 were investigated. The crystals structure has been studied using a synchrotron and laboratory X-ray diffraction. The C3v and C4v sites symmetry were determined using erbium probed high resolution emission spectroscopy (HRPL) at low temperature (LT) of 10 K. The considerable difference in room temperature (RT) optical properties for CaF2 compared to BaF2 crystals was observed. Such difference in absorption intensity of 4.7 times of erbium 4G11/2 manifold in UV, and 7.5 times in green emission from 4S3/2 manifold, could be due to the distinction in the host crystals cationic radius (ΔrCa,Ba) and the dopant-host ionic radius (ΔrCa-Er, ΔrBa-Er). Those Δr differences influence the structure and lead to the following symmetry formation: In CaF2, the C4v and C3v isolated centers were identified, with the determined Er3+- F−i bond lengths of 2.734 Å and 4.735 Å respectively; In BaF2, only C3v isolated centers were identified with the determined Er3+- F−i bond lengths of 5.380 Å. The present work is the first study that takes into account correlations of optical properties, the local symmetry and the structure in mentioned fluorides crystals, and it could be a step forward in the lanthanide doped optical materials systematics.

AB  - We report the procedure for hydrothermal synthesis of ultrasmall Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped Sr2LaF7 (SLF) upconversion phosphors. These phosphors were synthesized by varying the concentrations of Yb3+ (x = 10, 15, 20, and 25 mol%) and Tm3+ (y = 0.75, 1, 2, and 3 mol%) with the aim to analyze their emissions in the near IR spectral range. According to the detailed structural analysis, Yb3+ and Tm3+ occupy the La3+ sites in the SLF host. The addition of Yb3+/Tm3+ ions has a huge impact on the lattice constant, particle size, and PL emission properties of the synthesized SLF nanophosphor. The results show that the optimal dopant concentrations for upconversion luminescence of Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped SLF are 20 mol% Yb3+ and 1 mol% Tm3+ with EDTA as the chelating agent. Under 980 nm light excitation, a strong upconversion emission of Tm3+ ions around 800 nm was achieved. In addition, the experimental photoluminescence lifetime of Tm3+ emission in the SLF host is reported. This study discovered that efficient near IR emission from ultrasmall Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped SLF phosphors may have potential applications in the fields of fluorescent labels in bioimaging and security applications.

AB  - Herein, we investigate the performance of single- and multiparametric luminescence thermometry founded on the temperature-dependent spectral features of Ca6BaP4O17:Mn5+ near-infrared emission. The material was prepared by a conventional steady-state synthesis, and its photoluminescence emission was measured from 7500 to 10,000 cm−1 over the 293–373 K temperature range in 5 K increments. The spectra are composed of the emissions from 1E → 3A2 and 3T2 → 3A2 electronic transitions and Stokes and anti-Stokes vibronic sidebands at 320 cm−1 and 800 cm−1 from the maximum of 1E → 3A2 emission. Upon temperature increase, the 3T2 and Stokes bands gained in intensity while the maximum of 1E emission band is redshifted. We introduced the procedure for the linearization and feature scaling of input variables for linear multiparametric regression. Then, we experimentally determined accuracies and precisions of the luminescence thermometry based on luminescence intensity ratios between emissions from the 1E and 3T2 states, between Stokes and anti-Stokes emission sidebands, and at the 1E energy maximum. The multiparametric luminescence thermometry involving the same spectral features showed similar performance, comparable to the best single-parameter thermometry.

AB  - Luminescent Eu3+-doped SrF2 nanoparticles were synthesized using microwave-assisted synthesis. Their surfaces were modified either by polyethylene glycol or mercaptopropionic acid to enhance their dispersibility in aqueous media and colloidal formation. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed single-phase cubic structure in both types of hydrophilic-modified Sr0.9Eu0.1F2 luminescent powders. The average crystallite size of nanoparticles is found to be ∼13 nm. Scanning electron microscopy of the representative PEG2000-modified sample revealed that particles form agglomerates composed of densely packed nanoparticles. The microstructure at a local level was investigated by transmission electron microscopy showing the presence of sphere-like nanoparticles with an average particle size of 12.5 nm and 14 nm for PEG-modified and MPA-modified Sr0.9Eu0.1F2, respectively. Both PEG2000 and MPA-modified Sr0.9Eu0.1F2 water dispersions show strong red Eu3+ emission under 405 nm excitation that is quenched in the presence of the primary NP fertilizer, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, NH4H2PO4. The limit of detection was calculated to be ∼19 mM for both hydrophilic-modified Sr0.9Eu0.1F2 luminescent nanoparticles.

AB  - Luminescence thermometry uses temperature-dependent emission of light for remote sensing. Dy3+ is established as a perspective ion for high-temperature probes, but given that there is an infinite number of potential hosts it is impossible to find conventionally the one with the best performance. Judd-Ofelt thermometric model can predict sensitivities but it was not yet experimentally validated on Dy3+ ion. Pure phase CaYAlO4:Dy3+ powder was synthesized via the modified Pechini method. Photoluminescence spectra were taken from 300 to 600 K. Luminescence intensity ratio was estimated using 4 I15/2 and 4 F9/2 levels. Experimentally obtained thermometric parameters and sensitivities showed an excellent matching with those obtained from the Judd-Ofelt, indicating the potential application of the Judd-Ofelt model for fast assessment of Dy3+-doped luminescent sensor thermometric perspective. The maximum absolute and relative sensitivities are ~0.001 K− 1 at 600 K and ~1.4% K− 1 at 300 K, respectively. The optimum temperature range for the CaYAlO4:Dy3+ probe is from 370 to 616 K.

AB  - The importance of structural disorder of crystal lattice for the formation of the optical properties of impurity ions is studied by evaluating the optical properties of Cr3+ impurity ions in Mg1-xZnxAl2O4:Cr3+ (x = 0; 0.25; 0.50; 0.75; 1.0) spinel solid solutions. It is demonstrated that the gradual replacement of Zn by Mg, which transforms the normal spinel ZnAl2O4 into the inverse spinel MgAl2O4, leads to an enhancement of the Cr3+ red emission. In addition, the Cr3+ decay rate (inverse to the emitting excited state lifetime) increases linearly when Zn is gradually replaced by Mg. These observations are explained by the lifting of the parity selection rule due to the random distribution of the Zn and Mg cations in the second coordination sphere around the emitting ion, which lowers the local symmetry at the impurity ion site. The strategy of deliberately creating disorder in the crystalline lattice is a successful way of increasing brightness and decreasing the excited state lifetime of the impurity ions, which can be applied for improving emission properties of the phosphor materials used in solid state lighting.

Although reactive species represent an extensively researched topic in biomedical sciences, many aspects of their roles and functions remain unclear. This review aims to systematically summarize findings regarding the biochemical characteristics of various types of reactive species and specify the localization and mechanisms of their production in cells. In addition, we discuss the specific roles of free radicals in cellular physiology, focusing on the current lines of research that aim to identify the reactive oxygen species-initiated cascades of reactions resulting in adaptive or pathological cellular responses. Finally, we present recent findings regarding the therapeutic modulations of intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species, which may have substantial significance in developing novel agents for treating several diseases.

AB  - An imbalance between pro-oxidative and antioxidative cellular mechanisms is oxidative stress (OxS) which may be systemic or organ-specific. Although OxS is a consequence of normal body and organ physiology, severely impaired oxidative homeostasis results in DNA hydroxylation, protein denaturation, lipid peroxidation, and apoptosis, ultimately compromising cells’ function and viability. The thyroid gland is an organ that exhibits both oxidative and antioxidative processes. In terms of OxS severity, the thyroid gland’s response could be physiological (i.e. hormone production and secretion) or pathological (i.e. development of diseases, such as goitre, thyroid cancer, or thyroiditis). Protective nutritional antioxidants may benefit defensive antioxidative systems in resolving pro-oxidative dominance and redox imbalance, preventing or delaying chronic thyroid diseases. This review provides information on nutritional antioxidants and their protective roles against impaired redox homeostasis in various thyroid pathologies. We also review novel findings related to the connection between the thyroid gland and gut microbiome and analyze the effects of probiotics with antioxidant properties on thyroid diseases.

AB  - MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical regulators of gene expression in healthy and diseased states, and numerous studies have established their tremendous potential as a tool for improving the diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) and its comorbidities. In this regard, we computationally identify novel top-ranked hub miRNAs that might be involved in T2D. We accomplish this via two strategies: 1) by ranking miRNAs based on the number of T2D differentially expressed genes (DEGs) they target, and 2) using only the common DEGs between T2D and its comorbidity, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to predict and rank miRNA. Then classifier models are built using the DEGs targeted by each miRNA as features. Here, we show the T2D DEGs targeted by hsa-mir-1-3p, hsa-mir-16-5p, hsa-mir-124-3p, hsa-mir-34a-5p, hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-mir-155-5p, hsa-mir-107, hsa-mir-27a-3p, hsa-mir-129-2-3p, and hsa-mir-146a-5p are capable of distinguishing T2D samples from the controls, which serves as a measure of confidence in the miRNAs’ potential role in T2D progression. Moreover, for the second strategy, we show other critical miRNAs can be made apparent through the disease’s comorbidities, and in this case, overall, the hsa-mir-103a-3p models work well for all the datasets, especially in T2D, while the hsa-mir-124-3p models achieved the best scores for the AD datasets. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that used predicted miRNAs to determine the features that can separate the diseased samples (T2D or AD) from the normal ones, instead of using conventional non-biology-based feature selection methods.

AB  - Cardiovascular (CV) disorders are steadily increasing, making them the world’s most prevalent health issue. New research highlights the importance of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) for maintaining CV healthMethodsWe searched PubMed and MEDLINE for English and non-English articles with English abstracts published between 1957 (when the first report on IGF-1 identification was published) and 2022. The top search terms were: IGF-1, cardiovascular disease, IGF-1 receptors, IGF-1 and microRNAs, therapeutic interventions with IGF-1, IGF-1 and diabetes, IGF-1 and cardiovascular disease. The search retrieved original peer-reviewed articles, which were further analyzed, focusing on the role of IGF-1 in pathophysiological conditions. We specifically focused on including the most recent findings published in the past five years.ResultsIGF-1, an anabolic growth factor, regulates cell division, proliferation, and survival. In addition to its well-known growth-promoting and metabolic effects, there is mounting evidence that IGF-1 plays a specialized role in the complex activities that underpin CV function. IGF-1 promotes cardiac development and improves cardiac output, stroke volume, contractility, and ejection fraction. Furthermore, IGF-1 mediates many growth hormones (GH) actions. IGF-1 stimulates contractility and tissue remodeling in humans to improve heart function after myocardial infarction. IGF-1 also improves the lipid profile, lowers insulin levels, increases insulin sensitivity, and promotes glucose metabolism. These findings point to the intriguing medicinal potential of IGF-1. Human studies associate low serum levels of free or total IGF-1 with an increased risk of CV and cerebrovascular illness. Extensive human trials are being conducted to investigate the therapeutic efficacy and outcomes of IGF-1-related therapy.DiscussionWe anticipate the development of novel IGF-1-related therapy with minimal side effects. This review discusses recent findings on the role of IGF-1 in the cardiovascular (CVD) system, including both normal and pathological conditions. We also discuss progress in therapeutic interventions aimed at targeting the IGF axis and provide insights into the epigenetic regulation of IGF-1 mediated by microRNAs.

AB  - The liver is an organ in which many oxidative processes occur and represents an important target of oxidative stress (OxS). Under physiological conditions of normal mitochondrial homeostasis, hepatocytes effectively remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) by enabling metabolic adaptations and through the antioxidant defence system mechanisms. However, obesity-induced lipid accumulation in the hepatocytes causes significantly elevated production of ROS, reduces oxidative capacity, and increases oxidative stress (OxS). In men, compared with premenopausal women, the development of insulin resistance (IR) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in obesity are more prevalent, where oestradiol (E2), the most potent female sex steroid, is proposed as the main culprit. Exogenous oestradiol (E2) administration exerts beneficial effects on antioxidant properties, restores total plasma antioxidant capacity and decreases biomarkers of OxS in ovariectomized animal models. Thus, we hypothesized that E2 treatment in states of obesity could have beneficial effects against OxS in the obese male's liver. We assumed that E2 could directly affect the level of OxS by increasing the level/activity of the AOS enzymes, particularly SOD1, SOD2, GPx, and CAT, in obese males' livers. In addition, we assumed that the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyl content (PCC) in obese males' livers would be reduced after E2 treatment as a result of E2 inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation, respectively. To test our hypothesis, we used the liver of a high-fat (HF) diet-fed male Wistar rats as an animal model of obesity, treated with E2 intraperitoneally (40 μg/kg). Preliminary results from this study support our hypothesis that E2 increases liver protein expression of AOS enzymes: SOD1, GPx, and CAT, in control and HF male rats compared with their respective controls. The protein level of SOD2 and CAT activity was increased in HF treated with E2 compared with non-treated HF rats. Moreover, as we expected, E2 administration significantly decreased the MDA level in both E2-treated groups compared to their controls, while the PCC level was significantly decreased in HF treated group compared with untreated HF rats. In conclusion, the preliminary results we obtained in this study indicate that E2 administration can effectively inhibit the OxS-related processes in the liver in HF diet-induced obesity by increasing AOS enzymes levels and CAT activity, and also by decreasing levels of MDA and PCC. A consequence of our hypothesis is that treatment with E2 may be an innovative way to improve obesity-related liver disease prevention and healing. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd

Preliminary results from this study support our hypothesis that E2 increases liver protein expression of AOS enzymes: SOD1, GPx, and CAT, in control and HF male rats compared with their respective controls. The protein level of SOD2 and CAT activity was increased in HF treated with E2 compared with non-treated HF rats. Moreover, as we expected, E2 administration significantly decreased the MDA level in both E2-treated groups compared to their controls, while the PCC level was significantly decreased in HF treated group compared with untreated HF rats. In conclusion, the preliminary results we obtained in this study indicate that E2 administration can effectively inhibit the OxS-related processes in the liver in HF diet-induced obesity by increasing AOS enzymes levels and CAT activity, and also by decreasing levels of MDA and PCC. A consequence of our hypothesis is that treatment with E2 may be an innovative way to improve obesity-related liver disease prevention and healing. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd",

AB  - Cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) are a direct consequence of modern living and contribute to the development of multisystem diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus (DM). CMD has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. A sodium pump (Na + /K + -ATPase) is found in most eukaryotic cells’ membrane and controls many essential cellular functions directly or indirectly. This ion transporter and its isoforms are important in the pathogenesis of some pathological processes, including CMD. The structure and function of Na + /K + -ATPase, its expression and distribution in tissues, and its interactions with known ligands such as cardiotonic steroids and other suspected endogenous regulators are discussed in this review. In addition, we reviewed recent literature data related to the involvement of Na + /K + -ATPase activity dysfunction in CMD, focusing on the Na + /K + -ATPase as a potential therapeutic target in CMD.
