Metabolic disorders, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, pose significant challenges to global public health. Despite advancements in therapeutic approaches, effective management remains elusive. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound abundant in various dietary sources such as grapes, red wine, and berries, has emerged as a potential therapeutic agent for metabolic dysfunction. This abstract synthesizes findings from a comprehensive review of the literature, highlighting the diverse mechanisms through which resveratrol exerts its beneficial effects on metabolic health.
Hyperpigmentation is a common condition characterized by the darkening of the skin due to increased melanin production or distribution, often affecting sun-exposed areas like the malar region (melasma). Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can occur after an injury, leading to an increase in melanin production. While chemical peels are frequently used as a first-line treatment for hyperpigmentation, their effects on Indian skin, specifically Fitzpatrick skin types IV and V, can be unpredictable. In this article, Dr. Manali Padhye explores the various parameters and reasons behind these unpredictable results and outlines essential precautions to achieve the best outcomes.
