CAUSES AND EFFECTS PREVENTING OBESITY IN CHILDREN TEENS AND ADULTS

What Is Obesity? The word obesity has become synonymous with being fat and unhealthy. However, this is not the whole picture. it can measure excess body fat that puts you at risk for developing weight-related diseases like diabetes and hypertension. But being overweight or obese is not always bad for your health; it all depends

Association of Diabetes Mellitus and Alcohol Abuse with Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Significance

Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM), one of the metabolic diseases which is characterized by sustained hyperglycemia, is a life-threatening disease. The global prevalence of DM is on the rise, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, heart attacks, kidney failure, stroke, and lower limb amputation. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)

Assessment of risk factors, and racial and ethnic differences in hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract   Despite improved screening and surveillance guidelines, significant race/ethnicity-specific disparities in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) continue to exist and disproportionately affect minority and disadvantaged populations. This trend indicates that social determinants and genetic and environmental factors are driving the epidemic at the population level. Race and geography had independent associations with mortality risk among patients

Riluzole regulates pancreatic cancer cell metabolism by suppressing the Wnt-β-catenin pathway

Cancer Cell Abstract Most cancer cells rely on aerobic glycolysis to support uncontrolled proliferation and evade apoptosis. However, pancreatic cancer cells switch to glutamine metabolism to survive under hypoxic conditions. Activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway induces aerobic glycolysis by activating enzymes required for glucose metabolism and regulating the expression of glutamate transporter and glutamine synthetase.

The Impact of Obesity and Diabetes Mellitus on Pancreatic Cancer : Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Perspectives

The Impact of Obesity and Diabetes Mellitus on Pancreatic Cancer : An expanding body of preclinical evidence suggests EGCG, the major catechin found in green tea (Camellia sinensis), has the potential to impact a variety of human diseases. Apparently, EGCG functions as a powerful antioxidant, preventing oxidative damage in healthy cells, but also as an
