Occurrence and fate of antibiotic-resistance genes and their potential hosts in high-moisture alfalfa silage treated with or without formic acid bactericide.

Summary

Silage can contain antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) that pose a latent health risk to animals. Formic acid treatment reduced ARGs initially but increased their abundance after 90 days. Pathogens like Staphylococcus and Clostridium may act as ARG hosts. Microbes are the main driver of ARG propagation in silage.

Hederagenin improves Alzheimer's disease through PPARα/TFEB-mediated autophagy.

Summary

Researchers investigated the potential of hederagenin (HD) as a therapeutic agent for Alzheimer's disease. HD is a triterpene compound found in various foods with known neuroprotective effects. The study focused on HD's ability to restore autophagic flux - the coordinated degradation of pathogenic proteins - which is closely associated with AD. The experimenters found that HD increases transcription factor EB (TFEB) activity, a master regulator gene, and enhances autophagic flux. These results suggest HD could be a useful treatment for AD, but further studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness.
