Article Abstract
Diosgenin (DG), a well-known steroid saponin, has shown anti-inflammatory effects. This review was aimed to discuss all published literature concerning the anti-inflammatory effects of diosgenin. Based on the modulatory impact of DG on the NF-κB pathway, its supplementation is associated with downregulation of the NF-κB pathway and TGF-β, resulting in inhibition of inflammation. It appears that upstream modulators of NF-κB signaling pathways such as Tlrs and downstream mediators include iNOS and COX-2, leading to the inhibition of the inflammatory response and development of pathological conditions. Due to the low toxicity of the herbal compounds, the risk of the side effects of DG use for the management of inflammatory disorders such as asthma, rheumatism, rhinitis, and arthritis is lower than that of synthetic glucocorticoids. It has been shown that regulation of NF-κB and oxidative stress signaling pathways by DG is beneficial against cardiotoxicity induced by chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by joint inflammation. Given the side effects of conventional treatments, this study focuses on the anti-inflammatory effects of purslane (Portulaca oleracea) and turmeric (Curcuma longa). The research is driven by the growing demand for plant based-treatment for safer therapeutic options for RA management.

Terminalia arjuna, an important medicinal plant in traditional Indian systems, has been extensively studied for its cardioprotective bark. However, limited attention has been given to its fruit, which contains several biologically active phytochemicals with potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. This study aimed to isolate and partially purify phytoactive compounds from the fruit of T.

Purpose Of The Review: This review aimed to summarize current evidence on the effectiveness of medical nutrition therapy (MNT) in the management of obesity and endometriosis, with a focus on dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean and Ketogenic diets, as well as nutritional supplementation. Additionally, it highlights the central role of the clinical nutritionist in implementing individualized, evidence-based interventions within multidisciplinary care.
Recent Findings: Although the literature reports the existence of an inverse relationship between risk of endometriosis and body mass index, clinical evidence jointly reports that a condition of obesity is associated with greater disease severity.

Background: Standard treatment for glioblastoma includes chemotherapy, alkylating agents such as temozolomide (TMZ); however, MGMT resistance leads to recurrence. Demethoxycurcumin (DMC) has been reported to inhibit cancer cell growth, induce apoptosis, and prevent metastasis in different cancer models. We investigated the DMC-induced apoptosis and autophagy via inhibition of the AKT/mTOR pathway in human glioma U87MG and T98G cell lines.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis, one manifestation of which involves pathological processes in various ocular structures. The most severe form is rosacea-associated keratitis. Given the multifactorial etiology and pathogenesis, this condition remains unpredictable and resistant to treatment.
