If you and your spouse have been trying to conceive for a year and neither of you has been successful, there is a possibility that you are one of the 50–80 million people throughout the world who struggle with infertility. There is a male component present in approximately 20%-30% of these instances. It is common knowledge that low-quality sperm and oxidative stress (OS) both have a role in the aetiology of male infertility. Because of the oxidation of DNA, proteins, and lipids, excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have the potential to disrupt the viability, motility, and morphology of sperm cells. ROS are responsible for these changes. Methods: Through the use of the PubMed interface, we searched the MEDLINE database for studies that had been completed and published during the past ten years that analysed the effect that antioxidants had on sperm in infertile guys (2012–2022). A number of different phrases, including infertility, alpha-lipoic acid, zinc, folate, coenzyme Q10, selenium, and vitamin, were utilised during the search. The study's findings indicate that inositol serves a purpose in a number of different mechanisms that foster contacts between sperm and oocytes, and that it also affects OS levels in sperm cells by way of its engagement in mitochondrial events. Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) lessens the damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and improves the quality of sperm in a number of ways, including motility, morphology, and count. There might be a connection between not getting enough zinc in your diet and having low-quality sperm. Zinc and folate are two nutrients that can boost the quantity and quality of sperm. When taken orally, coenzyme Q10 increases the number of sperm as well as their overall motility and forward movement. A therapy with selenium (Se) results in an improvement in the sperm's overall quality, and this improvement is connected with an increase in ejaculatory production. Only vitamin B12 has been found to improve the quality of sperm; it does this by boosting sperm count and motility and by decreasing sperm DNA damage. Vitamin B12 is the only vitamin that has been proved to do this. Conclusions: Dietary supplementation with antioxidants may improve sperm quality in men with low-quality semen by reducing OS-induced sperm damage and increasing hormone synthesis and spermatozoa concentration, motility, and morphology. This may be achieved in men who also have low levels of antioxidants in their semen. Antioxidants can exert their effects in a variety of ways; hence, it is important for researchers conducting future clinical trials to study the possibility of combining a number of antioxidants.

“…Versions of MI that have been phosphorylated are used as second messengers in a variety of pathways. MI is engaged in the transduction mechanisms that regulate the cytoplasmic calcium levels in sperm cells [62]. These mechanisms are similar to those involved in capacitation and mitochondrial activity.…”

Role of Karela in Diabetes: A Review

2023

Diabetes mellitus is among the most common disorder in developed and developing countries, and the disease is increasing rapidly in most parts of the world. It has been estimated that up to one-third of patients with diabetes mellitus use some form of complementary and alternative medicine. One plant that has received the most attention for its anti-diabetic properties is bitter melon, Momordica charantia (M. charantia), commonly referred to as bitter gourd, karela and balsam pear. Its fruit is also used for the treatment of diabetes and related conditions amongst the indigenous populations of Asia, South America, India and East Africa. Abundant pre-clinical studies have documented in the anti-diabetic and hypoglycaemic effects of M. charantia through various postulated mechanisms. However, clinical trial data with human subjects are limited and flawed by poor study design and low statistical power. The present review is an attempt to highlight the antidiabetic activity as well as phytochemical and pharmacological reports on M. charantia and calls for better-designed clinical trials to further elucidate its possible therapeutic effects on diabetes.

“…On the other hand, DNA demethylation is a process that restores repressed genes by reactivating them after DNMT has silenced them in the past. "de novo" methyltransferases, such as DNMT3a and DNMTb, generate and maintain the correct DNA methylation state in the genome by preferentially binding to the previously unmethylated DNA [16]. This occurs independently of whether the DNA is being replicated or not.…”

Herbal used as Epigenetic for Cancer Treatment

Patterns of chromatin accessibility, which are in turn altered by epigenetic mechanisms, are responsible for determining the interactions that take place between transcription machinery, genes, and the cis-regulatory elements of those genes. Mutations that interfere with epigenetic processes frequently have the unfortunate side effect of causing cancer. Since these mutations can be undone, numerous anticancer treatments that target epigenetic pathways are now being developed and evaluated. (Cancer) is becoming more and more common everywhere. This decline in clinical outcomes is a result of a number of factors, including late diagnosis, a lack of efficient treatments for particular cancer subtypes, and drug resistance. Treatment resistance and stemness traits have been recognised as markers of this disease, and it has been demonstrated that epigenetic changes play a role in the process of cancer growth. Understanding these alterations and how they impact cancer carcinogenesis treatment is challenging but crucial. However, it may be able to provide the special knowledge needed to use these alterations as potential diagnostic, prognostic, therapeutic agents, and predictors of treatment efficacy. This underlines the importance of continued research to advance our knowledge of cancer carcinogenesis and epigenetics and help us overcome these challenges. This review aims to provide an overview of the state of the art in epigenetics research for cancer detection and treatment and to stimulate discussion on this subject.
