Article Abstract
The toxicity of metals presents a significant threat to human health due to the metabolic changes they induce. Thus, it is crucial to understand the impact of exposure to toxic elements on glycemic and lipid profiles. To this end, we developed a systematic review protocol registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023393681), following PRISMA-P guidelines. This review aims to assess environmental exposure to arsenic, cadmium, mercury, and lead in individuals aged over ten years and elucidate their association with glycemic markers such as fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin, as well as lipid parameters including total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Articles published in the MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Web of Science, LILACS, and Google Scholar databases until March 2024 will be included without language restrictions. The modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale will be employed to assess the quality of the included studies, and the results will be presented through narrative synthesis. If adequate data are available, a meta-analysis will be conducted. This review can help understand the metabolic responses to exposure to toxic elements and the associated health risks.

Atherosclerosis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disease and a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Macrophage-mediated lipid uptake and inflammation are central to plaque formation. TREM2, an immunoreceptor expressed in macrophages, has been reported to regulate lipid metabolism and inflammation, yet its role in atherosclerosis remains controversial.

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder frequently associated with obesity, leading to increased risks of cardiovascular and renal complications. Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent for improving glycemic control and promoting weight reduction. However, evaluating its safety and efficacy in obese T2DM patients remains essential, particularly in real-world clinical settings.

Background & Aims: This study aimed to critically review the potential effects of time-restricted eating (TRE) on lipemic and glycemic control, as well as certain inflammatory biomarkers, including interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, in individuals with obesity and insulin resistance.
Methods: A critical review of the relevant published articles (56 original articles) from 2007 to 2025 was carried out using several search engines, including PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Google Scholar. The following keywords were used: TRE, insulin resistance, inflammatory biomarkers, and blood glucose.
