Using immunoblotting of myocardial tissues, we found that AE increased the level of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2/Bax, significantly decreased the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein caspase-3, and activated the AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway. Our findings provide evidence that AE activates the AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway, improves mitochondrial energy supply capacity, and effectively inhibits apoptosis in cardiomyocytes.

The results revealed that STT suppresses proliferation of SNU449 and Huh7 cells to 28 and 21%, respectively treatment with 20 µM. The clonogenic survival of SNU449 and Huh7 cells was also significantly reduced after incubation with STT compared to the control cultures.

Treatment with STT led to a prominent suppression in p62 and increase in LC3B protein expression in SNU449 cells compared to the control cells.

In summary, the current study demonstrates that STT effectively suppresses the viability of SNU449 and Huh7 liver cancer cells. Moreover, STT treatment of the liver cancer cells also significantly reduces the clonogenic survival and invasive potential of SNU449 cells. Treatment of liver cancer cells with STT increases the expression of autophagic, targets anti-autophagic protein expression and down-regulates Akt/mTOR pathway to inhibit cancer growth and proliferation.

The study included 50 women with RA and 46 with SLE aged 18 to 65 years without a history of diabetes and fasting hyperglycemia. In all patients, the concentration of leptin was determined by ELISA, the concentration of insulin was determined by electrochemiluminescence analysis, and the HOMA-IR index was calculated. Hyperleptinemia was diagnosed at leptin concentrations > 11.1 ng/mL; insulin resistance (IR), at HOMA-IR values ≥ 2.77. Three main phenotypes of overweight were distinguished: \"classic\" (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m² + hyperleptinemia), \"healthy\" (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m², without hyperleptinemia), \"hidden\" or \"latent\" (BMI < 25 kg/m² + hyperleptinemia), as well as \"normal weight\" (BMI < 25 kg/m², without hyperleptinemia).

The study involved 73 patients with AS (New York criteria, 1984), who received IL17-i (57-secukinumab (SEC), 22-netakimab (NTK)) for at least 1 year. The average age of patients at the time of inclusion in the study was 41.93 ± 8.95 years, the average duration of AS was 10.75 ± 6.22 years.
