Abstract

General Background: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder linked to metabolic and reproductive disturbances, where oxidative stress has been increasingly implicated. Specific Background: Evidence suggests that an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defenses may contribute to the pathophysiology of PCOS, but inconsistencies in findings highlight the need for further clarification. Knowledge Gap: Despite recognition of oxidative stress in PCOS, limited studies in Middle Eastern populations have comprehensively assessed both oxidative markers and antioxidant status in relation to clinical features. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate oxidative stress levels and antioxidant defenses in Iraqi women with PCOS compared to healthy controls, and to investigate correlations with clinical and biochemical parameters. Results: Findings revealed significantly elevated oxidative stress markers (MDA, NO, AOPP) and reduced antioxidant levels (SOD, GPx, CAT, TAC) in PCOS patients, with strong correlations between redox imbalance and BMI, LH/FSH ratio, hirsutism, and acne severity. Novelty: This study provides region-specific evidence of impaired antioxidant defense in PCOS, highlighting oxidative stress as a critical mediator of symptom severity. Implications: These results underscore the potential for antioxidant-based interventions as adjunct therapies in managing metabolic and reproductive complications of PCOS.Highlight : PCOS women show increased oxidative stress and reduced antioxidants. Oxidative stress links with BMI, hormones, and clinical symptoms. Antioxidant imbalance plays a role in PCOS pathogenesis Keywords : Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Oxidative Stress, Antioxidant Status, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), Inflammation

Abstract

General Background: Oxidative stress generated by excessive free radicals contributes to hepatic injury, particularly during metabolism of hepatotoxic drugs. Specific Background: Paracetamol overdose produces the reactive metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine, which triggers lipid peroxidation and elevates liver enzymes such as Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and γ-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT). Sesbania grandiflora leaves contain bioactive compounds including flavonoids, alkaloids, and tannins with antioxidant properties. Knowledge Gap: Scientific evidence describing the biochemical response of ALP and GGT to Sesbania grandiflora leaf extract under paracetamol-induced hepatotoxic conditions remains limited. Aims: This study evaluated the biochemical changes in ALP and GGT levels and oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) in male Wistar rats administered toxic paracetamol doses followed by graded Sesbania grandiflora leaf extract treatment. Results: Experimental randomized controlled laboratory research involving 28 rats demonstrated significant differences in MDA, ALP, and GGT values across treatment groups (p<0.05). Paracetamol administration elevated oxidative stress and liver enzyme parameters, while extract administration decreased MDA and reduced ALP and GGT levels. The 1000 mg/kg body weight dose produced enzyme values approaching physiological ranges. Novelty: This study presents combined biochemical evaluation of oxidative stress indicators and dual liver enzyme parameters following graded Sesbania grandiflora leaf extract administration in paracetamol-induced hepatic injury. Implications: Sesbania grandiflora leaf extract represents a potential natural hepatoprotective candidate with antioxidant activity relevant for managing drug-induced liver injury and supporting development of plant-based therapeutic agents. Highlights: Highest Administered Dose Returned Enzyme Biomarkers Close to Physiological Values. Antioxidant Administration Lowered Lipid Peroxidation Indicator Concentrations in Treated Animals. Statistical Analysis Confirmed Significant Biochemical Differences Between Intervention and Control Groups. Keywords: Sesbania Grandiflora; Hepatoprotection; Oxidative Stress; Alp; Gamma Glutamyl Transferase

Abstract

General Background: Education for Indonesian migrant children abroad often faces limitations in access, resources, and teacher availability, which weakens their religious literacy. Specific Background: At the Indonesian Education Center (PPWNI) Klang, Malaysia, the ability of children to read hijaiyah letters is hindered by monotonous methods and low motivation. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have shown the effectiveness of gamification in general and formal education, but little research has examined its integration with the Iqra’ method in non-formal migrant contexts. Aims: This study investigates how gamification can be applied in Iqra’ learning for migrant children and evaluates its impact on motivation, discipline, participation, and literacy skills. Results: Using a qualitative case study with 30 students and one teacher, the findings reveal that gamification elements—such as points, scoreboards, challenges, and star rewards—improved attendance (from 70% to 90%), raised average scores (from 58 to 82), and enhanced confidence in reading aloud. Novelty: This research uniquely integrates gamification with the Iqra’ method in a non-formal migrant setting with limited resources, demonstrating effectiveness without relying on digital technology. Implications: The study contributes theoretically by offering a community-based gamification model and practically by providing an enjoyable and replicable solution for strengthening religious literacy among migrant children. Highlights: Gamification effectively boosts motivation, discipline, and literacy skills. Integrating Iqra’ with gamification in migrant settings is novel. Simple, low-tech strategies can improve learning outcomes significantly. Keywords: Gamification, Iqra’ Method, Religious Literacy, Migrant Children, Non-Formal Education
