Brassica rapa L. prevents Western diet-induced obesity in C57BL/6 mice through its binding capacity of cholesterol and fat.

Researchers found that supplementing the diet of mice with Brassica rapa L. (B. rapa L.) reduced body weight gain, lipid accumulation, and increased excretion of cholesterol and triglycerides. This suggests that B. rapa L. could be a useful functional vegetable in combating obesity.

Antidepressant effect of Perilla frutescens essential oil through monoamine neurotransmitters and BDNF/TrkB signal pathway.

A new study explores the potential of Perilla frutescens as a treatment for depression. Traditional Chinese medicine suggests that depression is caused by affect-mind ill-being and stagnation of Qi movement. Perilla frutescens has shown promise in regulating Qi and relieving depressive symptoms. However, the mechanism behind its antidepressant effects through inhalation is still not fully understood. This research highlights the importance of alternative therapies in treating neuropsychiatric diseases and further understanding their mechanisms for better treatment options.
