2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 109-119
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are tightly interlinked metabolic disorders characterized by insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammation, and dysregulated energy homeostasis. Together they form a convergent pathophysiological entity often t...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 99-108
Metabolic syndrome, a cluster of interconnected metabolic disturbances including obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, represents a major global health challenge. Current therapeutic strategies often target individual components of the...

Obesity-induced type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and chronic low-grade inflammation. Adipokines bioactive peptides secreted by adipose tissue play a pivotal role in modulating glucose homeostasis, lipid...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 78-88
The global prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continues to rise at an alarming rate, posing a major public health and economic challenge worldwide. Growing evidence indicates that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the developme...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 70-77
Obesity-driven type 2 diabetes is a multifactorial metabolic disorder in which dysfunctional inter-organ communication particularly between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle plays a pivotal role. Adipokines and myokines are hormone-like factors produced by a...

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and chronic respiratory disorders, are the leading global causes of morbidity and mortality. Recent advances in microbiome research have revealed its central role i...
2025 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCES | Pp. 48-58
The human microbiome, composed of trillions of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses, is essential for maintaining metabolic, immune, and neurological homeostasis. With aging, the composition and function of microbial communities undergo profound changes, con...
