Diagnosing insulin resistance promptly and accurately is essential for adequately managing and intervening in metabolic disorders. Several diagnostic methods have been developed to assess insulin resistance. However, each method has advantages and disadvantages. The most precise test is the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, which examines the direct impact of insulin on glucose uptake by tissues. However, it is primarily utilized in research due to its complexity and intrusiveness. Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and the Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI) are the second most used Insulin resistance tests in the clinical setup. These tests are based on measuring the fasting glucose and insulin levels. The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), Insulin tolerance test, and the Matsuda Index are further diagnostic procedures that shed light on insulin sensitivity. The improved techniques, such as the insulin suppression test and the minimal model analysis, provide substitutes for unique clinical circumstances. Additionally, including extra measurements with these tests, like waist circumference, lipid profiles, and inflammatory markers, can improve the evaluation of insulin resistance. In summary, identifying insulin resistance is essential for the early detection and treatment of various metabolic illnesses. To make educated judgments and improve patient care, healthcare workers should be aware of the different available diagnostic tests and how they are used in each situation. Insulin resistance detection and monitoring will require further study to improve current diagnostic approaches and create novel, less invasive techniques.","PeriodicalId":13224,"journal":{"name":"Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141901586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hypoxia, ischemia, and oxidative stress induced by free radicals have been associated with development of PE. Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a chemically modified albumin due to oxidative stress. IMA, a serum biomarker of hypoxia, ischemia, and oxidative free radicals is a potential biomarker for PE. The aim of the current proposal was to study serum IMA as a diagnostic biomarker of pre-eclampsia (PE) in pregnant females and to evaluate the correlation between serum IMA and different markers of pre-eclampsia (BP, urinary protein, LFT, KFT, serum total protein & uric acid).Methods: A total of 60 pregnant women aged between 21 and 35 years were recruited (30 PE cases and 30 normal pregnancy). Serum IMA was measured by spectrophotometric method developed by Bar-Or D. BP and biochemical parameters (urinary protein, LFT, KFT, serum total protein & uric acid) were also assayed and compared between two groups. Correlation analysis was done for analyzing the relationship between serum IMA and biochemical parameters.Results: The mean serum IMA was significantly higher in normotensive pregnant females (0.93 ABSU) than PE cases (0.71 ABSU). Kidney function and liver function parameters were more deranged in PE cases than in controls. Serum IMA was positively correlated with serum creatinine (r=0.322), serum uric acid (r=0.54) and urinary protein (0.376) whereas negatively correlated with total serum bilirubin (r=-0.515) and serum albumin (r=-0.380).Conclusions: Elevated serum IMA concentrations in normotensive pregnant controls as compared to PE cases suggest that apart from ongoing ischemia and oxidative stress in placenta IMA values are influenced by many other mechanisms in pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":13224,"journal":{"name":"Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation","volume":" ","pages":"149-155"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141787878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The epidermal growth factor (EGF) increases cancer cells' invasion, and migration. Melatonin's inhibitory effects on various types of cancer were confirmed. This study aimed to investigate whether melatonin could apply its impact through the EGF-related pathways or not.Methods: First, MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cells were cultured, and then melatonin effects on cell viability were determined by MTT assay. Transwell invasion assay was applied to identify the invasiveness of these breast cancer cell lines under treatment of EGF and melatonin. Real-time RT-PCR then investigated the expression of MMP9 and MMP2 in determined groups. Cell proliferation was also assayed under EGF and melatonin treatment using Ki67 assessment by flow cytometry.Results: The rate of invasion and migration of EGF-treated cells increased in both groups, in which melatonin caused increased invasion by EGF just in MCF7 cells. MMP9 and MMP2 expression increased significantly in both cell lines under EGF treatment, and melatonin increased these genes' expression in both cell lines (p<0.05). EGF increased the MMP9 and MMP2 gene expression, and melatonin increased EGF-induced expression (p<0.05). The EGF reduced the expression of the Ki67 protein in the MCF7 cell line, which was negatively affected by melatonin and EGF. In contrast, along with melatonin, EGF did not affect the proliferation of the MDA-MB-231 cell line.Conclusions: The results of this study show that melatonin in the presence of EGF does not show the anti-cancer properties previously described for this substance.","PeriodicalId":13224,"journal":{"name":"Hormone Molecular Biology and Clinical Investigation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141751565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent evidences had reported the involvement of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cell (NF-κB) in diabetic experimental models. So, this pilot study aimed to evaluate serum NF-κB levels in DPN patients.Methods: We recruited 50 T2DM patients, of which 25 were T2DM with neuropathy and 25 were T2DM without neuropathy. In all the participants peripheral neuropathy was diagnosed based on Total neuropathy score (TNS). Serum NF-κB levels were measured by ELISA.Results: We observed that the serum NF-κB levels were higher in DPN patients in comparison to T2DM patients without neuropathy. On spearman correlation, a positive correlation was found between serum NF-κB levels and TNS in the DPN group (r=0.741, p<0.001). The regression model shows the TNS to be an independent determinant of serum NF-κB levels after adjustment for potential confounders like age, duration of diabetes, and HbA1C (B=81.34; p<0.001).Conclusions: NF-κB activation plays a key role in promoting inflammation which is associated with the progression of DPN.
