The effectiveness of web-based educational videos in increasing diabetes knowledge and self-management levels in patients with type 2 diabetes in primary care: a randomized controlled trial; Optimizing the postpartum period to support the health of women with obesity throughout their lives; Preclinical data on chrysin in metabolic disorders; Contact sites of organelles as spatial regulators of lipid fate in metabolic diseases of adipose tissue; Early exposure to mycotoxins: a hidden factor of cardiometabolic risk.
5. The effectiveness of web-based educational videos in increasing diabetes knowledge and self-management levels in patients with type 2 diabetes in primary care: a randomized controlled trial.
About the work.
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of web-based educational video modules in increasing diabetes knowledge and self-management levels in patients with type 2 diabetes in primary healthcare.
Results.
After the web intervention, participants showed significant improvements in diabetes knowledge (β = 23.74) and self-management levels (β = 11.53) compared to the standard treatment group at three and six months.
4. Optimizing the postpartum period to support the health of women with obesity throughout their lives.
About the work.
The impact of obesity on women's health in the postpartum period and opportunities for improving long-term maternal health are discussed. Biological, behavioral, and structural factors affecting the health of women with obesity after childbirth are considered.
Results.
Insufficient or delayed metabolic recovery in women with obesity is associated with persistent insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and inflammation. Weight retention postpartum is a key factor in long-term cardiometabolic risk and depends on lactation, sleep disturbances, mental health, diet, and physical activity, as well as caregiving demands.
3. Preclinical evidence of chrysin's action in metabolic disorders through mitochondrial signaling interaction: a mechanistic review.
About the work.
A review of the mechanism of action of chrysin as a potential therapeutic agent for treating metabolic disorders related to mitochondrial signaling.
Results.
Preclinical studies show that chrysin improves mitochondrial bioenergetics by enhancing oxidative phosphorylation efficiency, ATP generation, and mitochondrial biogenesis while reducing reactive oxygen species production. Chrysin activates key energy pathways, including AMP-activated protein kinase, promoting glucose uptake, suppressing gluconeogenesis in the liver, and improving insulin sensitivity.
2. Contact sites of organelles as spatial regulators of lipid fate in metabolic diseases of adipose tissue.
About the work.
The mechanisms of spatial organization of lipid processing in adipose tissue are examined, focusing on organelle contacts. Interactions between the endoplasmic reticulum, lipid droplets, mitochondria, and other organelles in the context of metabolic diseases are discussed.
Results.
The available abstract describes the results insufficiently in detail.
