During the development of cancer, epigenetic modifications appear that favor cell proliferation and migration, but at the same time prevent differentiation and apoptosis, among other processes. KDM6B is a histone demethylase that specifically removes methyl groups from H3K27me3, thus allowing re-expression of its target genes. It is currently known that KDM6B can act as both a tumor suppressor and an oncogene depending on the cellular context. Therefore, in this work we summarize the current knowledge of the role that KDM6B plays in different oncological contexts, and we try to orient it towards its clinical application.Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health burden, affecting about 463 million of the adult population worldwide. Approximately 94% of diabetic male individuals develop varying degrees of testicular disorders (TDs), which usually result in hypogonadism, hypotestosteronemia and defective spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis. Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have shown potential benefits in metabolic health. However, its effect on TD associated with DM is not clear. Howbeit, the present study investigated the hypothesis that SCFAs, acetate would ameliorate TD accompanying DM, possibly by suppressing proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Male Wistar rats (210-240 g) were allotted into groups (n = 6/group) control (vehicle; po), DM with/without 200 mg/kg (po) of sodium acetate (SAc). Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin 65 mg/kg (iv) after a dose of nicotinamide (110 mg/kg). Semen/biochemical and histological analyses were performed with appropriate methods. In addition to hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and reduced insulin sensitivity, DM led to increased serum and testicular triglyceride or total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, m
