Endocrine society has evidence that plastics can disrupt the endocrine system to cause severe diseases in humans and animals. However, plastics are still used in a variety of models for their applications. The overproduction of plastics simultaneously increases health hazards in human and animal living society. The pancreas is an endocrine system to produces insulin to maintain the glucose level in the blood when that insulin level resists or does not synthesize causing diabetes mellitus. It is one of the highest prevalence diseases occurred in worldwide. Sirtuin-1 is a protein involved in glucose homeostasis and it regulates insulin action. In the human body, hampered the level of insulin, sirtuin-1, and glucose cause diabetes and its vascular complications. Furthermore, many researchers evidenced that the endocrine disruptor of bisphenol A (BPA) causes diabetes mellitus and its vascular complications. Nevertheless, the biological pathway is unclear. This review discusses the linkage between the endocrine disruptor of BPA and diabetes and explores Sirtuin-1 mediated BPA-induced diabetic vascular complications.
Background: MicroRNAs are short non-coding RNAs that have an essential role in controlling gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Additionally, they can serve as biomarkers in the management of obesity. Circulating levels of miRNAs have been shown to fluctuate with exercise, exhibiting a variety of physiological and biological consequences on the biological systems, including structural and functional changes. Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the profile of Ci-miRNAs 423-5p and 128-1 in young obese adolescents before and after aerobic exercise, as well as to analyse the relationship between those microRNAs and obesity-related parameters in response to aerobic exercise training. Methods: A total of 64 adolescent individuals (32 obese & 32 healthy individuals) were enrolled in the study to participate in 6-month aerobic exercise program. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters and blood samples were collected from all the participants prior to exercise training and after 6-month exercise program. Gene expression analysis of the study participants was performed using quantitative real-time PCR. Results: Expression levels of circulating microRNAs 423-5p(p<0.01) & 128-1(p<0.01) were significantly differed before and after exercise in study population. Circulating miRNA 423-5p increased and correlated significantly with BMI while Circulating miRNA 128-1 decreased and correlated significantly with BMI after 6-month aerobic exercise program. Logistic regression statistics proves that the elevation in the expression of miRNAs genes has a strong significant association with elevation of the cytokines IL-6 & TNF-α (p<0.05). Conclusion: Obesity leads to alterations in Ci-miRNA 423-5p & Ci-miRNA 128-1 expressions and significant alterations associated with the aerobic exercise program shows that these miRNAs can be used as diagnostic and target predictive biomarkers in obesity.
Background and Objectives: MicroRNAs are short noncoding RNAs that play an essential role in controlling gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. They can serve as biomarkers in the management of obesity. Circulating miRNAs levels change with exercise, impacting various physiological and biological systems, including structural and functional changes. Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the levels of miRNAs 423-5p and 128-1 in young adolescents with obesity before and after an aerobic exercise programme. We also analyse the relationship between those microRNAs and obesity-related parameters in response to aerobic exercise training. Materials and Methods: A total of 64 adolescent individuals (32 individuals with obesity and 32 healthy individuals) were enrolled in the study to participate in a 6-month aerobic exercise programme. Anthropometric measurements, biochemical parameters and blood samples were collected from all the participants prior to exercise training and after the 6-month programme. Gene expression analysis of the study participants was performed using quantitative real-time PCR. Results: Expression levels of circulating microRNAs 423-5p (p < 0.01) and 128-1 (p < 0.01) differed significantly before and after exercise in the study population. Circulating miRNA 423-5p increased and correlated significantly with BMI while circulating miRNA 128-1 decreased and also significantly correlated with BMI after the 6-month aerobic exercise programme. Logistic regression analysis shows that the elevation in miRNAs expression levels has a strong significant association with the increased levels of the cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Obesity leads to alterations in the expressions of miRNA 423-5p and miRNA 128-1. The significant changes observed after an aerobic exercise programme demonstrate the potential of these miRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for obesity.
