Total estradiol (pg/mL) was measured and categorized (low, normal, and high) based on the NHANES protocol. Sleep duration was classified as ≤ 6, 6-9, and ≥ 9 h. Weighted multivariable adjusted and multinomial logistic regression models were conducted to assess these associations. <b>Results:</b> Our multivariable multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed no significant associations between sleep duration and serum estradiol concentrations among both American men and women. Specifically, comparisons of sleep durations (≤ 6 and ≥ 9 h) to the reference group (6-9 h) across various age categories showed odds ratios for low and high estradiol concentrations that remained statistically nonsignificant in fully adjusted models. These findings suggest that, unlike previous studies linking sleep duration with variations in other hormones, estradiol concentrations do not appear to be significantly affected by differences in sleep duration in either sex across all age groups studied. <b>Conclusion:</b> The lack of significant associations between sleep duration and serum estradiol concentrations indicates that sleep duration may not influence estradiol levels in the general population of American men and women. These results underscore the importance of continued research into how sleep influences hormonal balance. However, it is important to note that the NHANES data we used are from a cross-sectional study, which cannot establish a causal relationship between sleep duration and serum estradiol.

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) was found to be overexpressed in many tissues in the case of T2DM and involved in the negative regulation of insulin signaling. So, PTP1B inhibition can act as a therapeutic target for T2DM. Numerous studies claimed the anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective, and hypolipidemic activities of <i>Dodonaea viscosa</i>. Previously, we generated the high-fat diet (HFD)-low dose streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic male mice model and treated it with a PTP1B inhibitor (5, 7-dihydroxy-3, 6-dimethoxy-2- (4-methoxy-3- (3-methyl-2-enyl) phenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one), isolated from Dodonaea viscosa.

The biochemical parameters showed the gradual reduction of LDL, VLDL, TC, and TG in the serum of the compound-treated group. To further test our hypothesis, real-time PCR was performed, and data revealed the reduction of PTP1B and other inflammatory markers in both tissues, showing enhanced expression of insulin signaling markers (INSR, IRS1, IRS2, and PI3K).

Furthermore, we found elevated cholesterol efflux (in adipose and liver) and decreased lipolysis in adipocytes and elevated in hepatocytes.

The study assessed body, ovarian, and uterine weights, as well as the concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). Moreover, levels of MDA, 4-HDA, and nitrites were assessed in ovarian homogenates, and vascular permeability was quantified in the peritoneal cavity. Ovarian morphology was characterized using histology and hematoxylin-eosin staining, determining the count of ovarian follicles and corpus luteum. Our results demonstrated a significant increase in lipoperoxidation, nitrite levels, and VEGF-A concentrations in the OHSS group compared to the control group. These biochemical alterations corroborate the successful induction of OHSS in the experimental model. Direct injection into the ovarian bursa resulted in reduced vascular permeability and VEGF-A levels, suggesting that the effects of cabergoline are predominantly ovarian. Particularly, cabergoline did not significantly alter other parameters such as ovarian weight, lipoperoxidation, nitrite levels, or morphology. Conversely, low concentrations of N-acetylcysteine (25-50 µg/kg) significantly reduced ovarian and uterine weights, VEGF-A levels, and vascular permeability. Interestingly, this dose-response relationship was not observed at higher NAC concentrations (100-200 μg/kg), suggesting a potential threshold beyond which NAC loses efficacy in these specific parameters. Our results suggest that the localized administration of N-acetylcysteine shows promise as a therapeutic strategy for OHSS by modulating key parameters associated with the syndrome. These promising results warrant further investigation into its mechanisms and efficacy, potentially expanding therapeutic options for OHSS management.</p>","PeriodicalId":13966,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Endocrinology","volume":"2024 ","pages":"1634072"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11637629/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142818073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
