Targeting Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Pathophysiology with Flavonoids: From Adipokine–Cytokine Crosstalk to Insulin Resistance and Reproductive Dysfunctions

mycolabadmin

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder affecting millions of women that causes irregular periods, infertility, and metabolic problems. Flavonoids are beneficial plant compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and tea that show promise in treating PCOS by improving insulin sensitivity, reducing inflammation, and balancing hormones. While current medications have limited benefits and side effects, flavonoid supplements could offer a safer, natural way to address multiple PCOS problems simultaneously. However, more large-scale clinical studies are needed to confirm their effectiveness and establish optimal dosing.

Effect of Nutraceutical Supplementation and Mediterranean Hypocaloric Diet on Calculated Steatosis Indices and Inflammation: Clinical and In Vitro Evidences

mycolabadmin

This research shows that taking a specialized supplement containing natural plant compounds along with eating a Mediterranean diet can significantly help people with fatty liver disease. The supplement works by reducing harmful stress molecules in liver cells and calming down inflammation. After three months of treatment, patients showed improved liver health markers, better cholesterol levels, and improved blood sugar control. The study demonstrates that combining diet and targeted supplements is more effective than diet changes alone.

The Antioxidant Properties of Mushroom Polysaccharides can Potentially Mitigate Oxidative Stress, Beta-Cell Dysfunction and Insulin Resistance

mycolabadmin

This research review explores how mushroom compounds called polysaccharides may help manage diabetes by reducing harmful stress on cells caused by high glucose levels. Scientists found that 104 different mushroom polysaccharides have anti-diabetic properties and can protect insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. These natural compounds show promise as a complementary treatment to conventional diabetes medications, potentially with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.

Novel Approaches in Glucose and Lipid Metabolism Disorder Therapy: Targeting the Gut Microbiota–Bile Acid Axis

mycolabadmin

Your gut bacteria play a key role in how your body manages blood sugar and fats, working through molecules called bile acids. Researchers have discovered that certain foods, supplements, and herbs can improve this gut bacteria-bile acid interaction to help prevent or treat diabetes and obesity. This review explains how these natural interventions work and suggests promising new ways to treat metabolic diseases by harnessing your gut health.

Hypoglycemic Effect of Pleurotus citrinopileatus and Hericium erinaceus Buccal Tablets on Diabetic Mice

mycolabadmin

Researchers created special tablets from two edible mushrooms (yellow oyster mushroom and lion’s mane) enriched with trace elements (chromium, zinc, germanium) to treat diabetes in mice. After three weeks of treatment, the high-dose tablets reduced blood sugar levels by 29%, improved cholesterol levels, boosted the body’s natural antioxidant defenses, and shifted the gut bacteria toward beneficial types that support metabolic health. These results suggest that mushroom-based treatments could potentially offer a natural way to help manage diabetes.
