However, AMH could help to differentiate between clinical subgroups, as it was strongly related with PCOM but not with HA. AMH changed substantially with age, but was stable in PCOS patients under 30 years old.

AMH changed in different subgroups of PCOS, which was the possible reason why AMH was not a diagnostic indicator. However, AMH could help to differentiate between clinical subgroups, as it was strongly related with PCOM but not with HA. AMH changed substantially with age, but was stable in PCOS patients under 30 years old.

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived exosomes have seen great advances in human disease control in a minimally invasive manner. This research aimed to explore the function of MSC-derived exosomes in diabetic nephropathy (DN) progression and the molecules involved.

A rat model with DN and rat glomerular mesangial cell (GMC) models treated with high glucose (HG) were established, which were treated with exosomes from adipose-derived-MSCs (adMSCs). The levels of blood glucose, serum creatinine, and urinary protein, the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), kidney weight/body weight, and mesangial hyperplasia and kidney fibrosis in rats were determined. The expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), collagen I (Col. I), fibronectin (FN), Bax and Bcl-2 in HG-treated GMCs was assessed. The microRNA (miRNA) carried by adMSC-exosomes was identified, and the implicated down-stream molecules were analyzed.

adMSC-derived exosomes decreased levels of blood glucose, serum creatinine, 24-h urinary protein, UACR and kidney weight/body weight, and they suppressed mesangial hyperplasia and kidney fibrosis in DN rats. The exosomes also suppressed levels of IL6, Col. I and FN in HG-treated GMCs and promoted cell apoptosis. miR-125a was at least partially responsible for the above protective events mediated by adMSC-exosomes. miR-125a directly bound to histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1), while HDAC1 further regulated endothelin-1 (ET-1) activation. Up-regulation of HDAC1 blocked the functions of adMSC-exosomal miR-125a.

This study suggested that adMSC-derived exosomes inhibit DN progression and alleviate the symptoms by carrying miR-125a, during which HDAC1 and ET-1 wereinhibited. This study may provide novel effects into DN treatment.

Deregulation of the antioxidant enzymes was implicated in pathogenesis and complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The data relate the genetic variants of these enzymes to T2DM are inconsistent among various populations.

We aimed to explore the association of 13 genetic variants of "superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS)" with T2DM susceptibility and the available clinical laboratory data.

A total of 384 individuals were enrolled in this work. Different genotypes of the genes mentioned above were characterized using TaqMan OpenArray Genotyping assays on a Real-Time polymerase chain reaction system.

After age- and sex-adjustment, among the studied 13 variants,

rs17856199 was associated with T2DM under homozygote (OR=3.42; 95% CI1.04-11.2,

=0.031), and recessive (OR=3.57; 95% CI 1.11-11.4,

=0.029) comparison models. The

rs2297518*A allele was more frequent among the T2DM cohort (58.1%

35.4%,

<0.001) and showed a dose-response effect; being heterozygote was associated with higher odds for developing DM (OR=4.06, 95% CI=2.13-7.73,

<0.001), whereas being AA homozygote had double the risk (OR=9.06, 95% CI=3.41-24.1,

<0.001). Combined

rs2297518*A and either

rs17856199*A or *C genotype carriers were more likely to develop T2DM. Different associations with sex, BMI, hyperglycemia, and/or hyperlipidemia were evident. The principal component analysis revealed

rs2297518*G, old age, dyslipidemia, high systolic blood pressure, and elevated HbA1c were the main classifiers of T2DM patients.

The oxidative stress-related molecular markers,

rs17856199 and

rs2297518 variants were significantly associated with T2DM risk and phenotype in the study population.

To examine the optimal cut-off values of visceral fat area (VFA) for predicting metabolic syndrome (MetS) among type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients in Ningbo China.

A total of 1017 subjects were selected from T2D patients who accepted standardized management by the National Standardized Metabolic Disease Management Center at Ningbo First Hospital from March 2018 to January 2020. Demography and medical information were collected through questionnaires. WAY-100635 purchase Regional adiposity was examined by a visceral fat analyzer using the dual bioelectrical impedance method.

Overall, 769 (75.6%) T2D patients were defined to have MetS. Patients with MetS had higher anthropometric values and biomarkers, compared to those without MetS. VFA was significantly correlated with risk factors of MetS. Further logistic regression models showed that VFA was significantly associated with MetS in men (OR=1.02) and in women (OR=1.03) (P<0.001 for both genders) after controlling for related factors. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that the optimal cut-off values of VFA were 84.7 cm

for men and 81.1 cm

for women to predict MetS in T2D patients.

VFA was associated with MetS and could be an independent predictor of MetS in T2D patients.

The relationship between obesity and hyperuricemia has been demonstrated by many studies. However, whether or to what extent metabolic condition influents the association between obesity and hyperuricemia was not clear. Here, we aimed to examine the association between obese-metabolic phenotype and hyperuricemia in a large sample of Chinese adults.

According to BMI and metabolic syndrome, obese-metabolic phenotype was defined as metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO), metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), metabolically unhealthy non-obesity (MUNO) and metabolically healthy non-obesity (MHNO)in the Tianning cohort (N=5072). We conducted a cross-sectional analysis between obese-metabolic phenotype and hyperuricemia, followed by a Mendelian Randomization analysis using GWAS summary data to confirm the causality between uric acid and BMI.

The average level of serum UA showed 41.87-higher μmol/L in participants with MHO (β=41.87,

<0.001) and 63.18-higher μmol/L in participants with MUO (β=63.18,

<0.001), compared to those with MHNO.
