TL;DR: Maternal vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy elevates the risk of SGA and LBW infants in a Chinese population.

TL;DR: It is suggested that melatonin alleviates Cd‐induced cellular stress and germ cell apoptosis in testes and may be useful as pharmacological agents to protect against Cd-induced testicular toxicity.

TL;DR: Antioxidants may be used as pharmacological agents to protect against Cd-induced fetal malformation and growth restriction and alpha-phenyl-N-t-butylnitrone, a free radical spin-trapping agent, significantly alleviated C d-induced placental ER stress and UPR.

TL;DR: Maternal zinc deficiency during pregnancy elevates the risks of LBW and SGA infants and nuclear NF-κB p65 was significantly up-regulated in placentas of SGA cases as compared with controls.

TL;DR: Investigation of whether endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is mediated in the development of fructose-induced NAFLD found Phenylbutyric acid (PBA), an ER chemical chaperone, not only significantly attenuated ER stress, but also alleviated fructose- induced hepatic Insig-1 depletion.
