Hematobiochemical changes of lead Poisoning and amelioration with Coconut (<i>Cocos nucifera</i> L.) Water in wistar albino rats by Enagbonma Ben Jesuorsemwen, Iyorah Imeda Ebikere, Iyorah Imeda Ebikere, Igiehon Nicholas Ozede, Aimuanmwosa Frank Eghomwanre

“… To determine the ameliorative effect of coconut water on haematobiochemical changes due to lead  poisoning in wistar albino rats for six weeks, sixty rats were assigned to four groups. 0.10g/l of lead  and 75ml coconut (cocus nucifera l.) water were given orally for six weeks. The mean values of red  blood  cells, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, red blood cell distribution width and platelets  (8.10±0.63(×106μl), 52.7±0.87(μm3), 17.9±0.56(pg), 34.73±0.65(g/dl), 17.90±0.67(%) and 670.00±42.22(×103μl) respectively) reduced in lead treated rats when compared with control mean values (8.41 ± 0.90(×106μl), 56.60 ± 1.55(μm3), 19.33 ± 0.82(pg), 34.93 ± 0.90(g/dl), 18.27 ± 0.73(%) and  818.33± 123.68(×103μl) respectively ) and these values increased in75ml coconut water only group and the group of 0.10g/l lead + 75ml coconut water  except mean corpuscular haemoglobin, mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, and red blood cell distribution width of the 75ml coconut water only. …”

Triglyceride-glucose index is associated with microcirculatory resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes and STEMI undergoing primary PCI by Guoyu Wang, Cen Xu, Jian Wang, Zhimei Teng, Xiang Sha, Kai Xu, Ruzhu Wang, Li Zhu

“…The area under the curve for the TyG index predicting high AMR was 0.650 (95% confidence interval: 0.57–0.73, p < 0.001), with a cut-off value of 9.57. Our findings indicate that the TyG index is significantly associated with AMR in T2DM patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI, suggesting it may serve as a valuable predictor of high AMR in this population.…”
