Summary: Diabetes mellitus is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and mortality rates worldwide. Despite the use of pharmaceutical drugs, diabetes prevalence is alarmingly rising, necessitating the search for remedies with lower toxicity. Pomegranate, known for its properties and safety, has been investigated in research and trials. However, conflicting reports exist on its effects in diabetes. Therefore, this systematic review analyzed evidence from preclinical and clinical trials, focusing on oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial function in diabetes. The analyzed evidence suggests that pomegranate has the potential to alleviate these markers, but further clinical trials are needed for validation.

Summary: This study demonstrated that canagliflozin treatment significantly improved vascular function, lipid profile, and inflammation, and reduced liver injury in rabbits with dietary-induced hypercholesterolemia. The data suggest that SGLT-2 inhibition through canagliflozin not only has anti-hyperglycemic activity, but also benefits hypercholesterolemia, vascular health, and liver function.

Summary: In this study, it was found that ghrelin can improve endothelial function and lower blood pressure in Ang II-induced hypertensive mice. This protective effect is likely achieved through the reduction of oxidative stress, the increase in NO production, and the activation of the AMPK signaling pathway.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a single deep heliox dive on physiological function. The results showed that an 80 msw heliox dive induced various physiological changes, including alterations in blood and saliva samples as well as changes in biomarker concentrations during the dive, reflecting physiological stress responses.

Summary: This systematic review summarized the findings from human intervention studies on the effect of ALA on vascular function. It found that ALA may improve endothelial function by increasing the bioavailability of endothelium-derived nitric oxide, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, while the impact on endothelium-independent vasodilation is limited.

Summary: Metabolic syndrome is a major contributor to metabolic complications and cardiovascular diseases. This study evaluated the effects of additional factors such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, and steatohepatitis on endothelial dysfunction in aortas. The results showed that these factors can impair the endothelial function of aortas.

Summary: This study found that plasma homocysteine levels increase significantly after a 10K race and a marathon, with oxidative status affected by the dose of exercise. However, the increase in homocysteine is not correlated with exercise-induced pro-oxidant status and oxidative stress mechanisms related to endothelial dysfunction.

Summary: Pitavastatin is a unique lipophilic statin with pleiotropic effects, including reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. It appears to be the safest statin based on available studies, with multiple therapeutic effects that make it an interesting option for the treatment of various human diseases.

Summary: Research on cardioprotective foods like dates is essential for addressing global public health needs. While animal studies show promising results, more human research is needed to fully understand the potential benefits of date fruit on vascular health. Conducting thorough clinical trials and assessing functional markers of vascular disease will provide valuable information for human health.
