This study investigated mid-trimester plasma metabolomic profiles in pregnant women to identify biomarkers associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and preterm birth. A total of 149 participants were categorized into four groups: 32 with PCOS and preterm delivery, 34 with PCOS and term de...
Metabolomics enables the comprehensive profiling of low–molecular weight metabolites that reflect the interplay between environmental exposures and endogenous biological processes. As the downstream output of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and epigenomic networks, the metabolome provides the...
Previous epidemiological and laboratorial studies have demonstrated a close relationship between plasma manganese (Mn) levels and type 2 diabetes (T2D), however, the underlying mechanism remains undisclosed. In this study, we employed a comprehensive approach that integrated fecal 16S rRNA sequen...
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive inflammatory disorder with rising global morbidity and mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that systemic metabolic alterations, particularly dyslipidemia, contribute to COPD pathogenesis. However, the mechanisms link...
Chagas disease causes a cardiac illness characterized by immunoinflammatory reactions leading to myocardial fibrosis and remodeling. The development of Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy (CCC) in some patients while others remain asymptomatic is not fully understood, but dysregulated inflammatory resp...
