Striking the Right Balance: The Role of n-3/n-6 Fatty Acid Ratio in Health and Strategies for Dietary Improvement.
Abstract: The dietary balance between omega-3 (n-3) and omega-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is crucial in modulating inflammation and promoting optimal physiological function. Modern diets, particularly in industrialized countries, are skewed heavily in favor of n-6 fatty acids, often reaching ratios as high as 1:20 or more, compared to the ideal range of 1:1 to 1:4. This imbalance is associated with the pathogenesis of numerous chronic diseases, including cardiovascular conditions, …

A Comprehensive Review on Premature Hair Graying: Factor Contributing, Pathogenesis, Prevention Strategies, and Natural Therapeutic
Abstract: Premature graying of hair (PGH), also known as early canities, is an increasingly common dermatological concern characterized by the loss of natural hair pigmentation before the expected age. Hair color is primarily determined by the quantity and type of melanin synthesized by melanocytes within the hair follicle. Disruption in melanocyte function, survival, or melanin synthesis leads to hair graying. Multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to PGH, including genetic predisposition, …

Gut Microbial Metabolites in Inflammatory, Metabolic, and Neurologic Disorders.
Abstract: The human gut microbiota transforms dietary and hostderived substrates into a diverse array of metabolites—including shortchain fatty acids (SCFAs), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), bile acid derivatives, indoles, trimethylamine Noxide (TMAO), branchedchain amino acid (BCAA) derivatives, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)—that act as key signaling mediators along epithelial, immune, endocrine, and neural axes. These metabolites regulate barrier integrity, energy homeostasis, inflammation, and gut–brain communication and are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel …

Jaundice: Etiology, Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, Management, Nursing Care, and Prevention
Abstract: Jaundice is a significant clinical condition marked by a yellow discoloration of the skin, sclera, and mucous membranes resulting from increased bilirubin levels in the bloodstream. Rather than being a disease itself, jaundice represents an underlying disorder involving the liver, biliary system, or hematological processes. Hyperbilirubinemia develops when there is excessive bilirubin production, impaired hepatic uptake, defective conjugation, or obstruction in bile excretion. Jaundice remains a major global health concern …

Nutrient–Xenobiotic Crosstalk in Dairy Cattle: Implications for Metabolism, Immunity, Health, and Productivity in Resilient Dairy Development
Abstract: Dairy cattle are routinely exposed to a wide range of xenobiotics, including mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, residues from veterinary drugs, and plant secondary metabolites, through feed, water, and environmental sources. These xenobiotics, being foreign to biological systems, can interfere with the absorption, metabolism, and utilization of essential nutrients, while also compromising immune function, organ health, and overall physiological performance. Chronic or subclinical exposure can reduce feed efficiency, disrupt energy and …
