Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine-metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age, marked by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and insulin resistance, accompanied by significant metabolic disturbances, including glycolytic dysfunction, mitochondrial impairment, and increased oxidative stress. In granulosa cells (GCs), disrupted glycolysis impairs follicular development and compromises oocyte quality, exacerbating reproductive and metabolic abnormalities. At the molecular level, dysregulated energy-sensing pathways, such as AMPK and mTOR, reduce glucose uptake, lower ATP generation, and enhance oxidative stress, fueling disease progression.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent gynecological endocrine and metabolic disorder in women, with an incidence rate of 10-13%. The etiology of PCOS is multifaceted, involving genetic predisposition, environmental influences, lifestyle factors, and endocrine metabolic dysregulation. Iron, a critical mineral, not only plays a role in regulating female physiological functions and the progression of PCOS but also requires careful management to avoid deficiency.

: The neuroprotective role of dietary choline during adulthood has not yet been conclusively proven. This study aims to investigate the influence of long-term choline and its constituent intakes on cognitive decline in the Chinese population. : A total of 4502 subjects (≥55 years) with at least two waves of completed data and without cognitive decline at baseline were selected from the China Health and Nutrition Survey 1997-2018.

Background: With the aging process in China showing an accelerated trend, cognitive decline and impairment have become a major issue in older people. Dietary choline supplement may be a changeable lifestyle to improve this situation.

Method: We analyzed 7659 adults aged over 55 in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), evaluated cognitive function by the global cognition score, and found the association between cognitive function and dietary intake of total choline or L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (GPC).

Article Synopsis
  • Probe-based nucleic acid enrichment significantly improves the detection of respiratory infections in diverse microbial species using next-generation sequencing (NGS).
  • The study found that this method increased the overall detection rate of respiratory pathogens from 73% to 85% and boosted unique pathogen reads substantially, particularly benefiting virus genome coverage.
  • However, library pooling introduced issues such as read mis-assignment and crosstalk, suggesting the need for solutions like automated processing and pooling-free sequencing for more accurate clinical results.

The impact of external factors on the human gut microbiota and how gut microbes contribute to human health is an intriguing question. Here, the gut microbiome of 3,224 individuals (496 with serum metabolome) with 109 variables is studied. Multiple analyses reveal that geographic factors explain the greatest variance of the gut microbiome and the similarity of individuals' gut microbiome is negatively correlated with their geographic distance.
