Study evaluated the effects of leaf extracts of _______ on testis after exposure to cyclophosphamide, a drug used in chemotherapy. Results could be relevant for understanding and treating infertility caused by chemotherapy.
In this study, scientists extracted quercetin from a certain plant and tested its potential as a suppressor of DPP-IV, a protein involved in diabetes. They found that quercetin had hypoglycemic effects and improved insulin sensitivity in diabetic mice. This suggests that quercetin could be a useful treatment for type 2 diabetes.
This study looked at extracts from Pimpinella anisum and found that it has potential antimicrobial properties against oral pathogens. The presence of antioxidants, antimicrobials, and cytotoxicity was determined using chromatographic testing methods. The results suggest that P. anisum could be a novel agent to combat various bacteria and oral pathogens.
Scientists found that a compound called 20C derived from Gastrodia elata inhibits the aggregation of α-synuclein, a protein linked to Parkinson's disease. In tests on mice, 20C reduced α-synuclein levels, improved behavior, and protected mitochondrial function. Promising for PD treatment.
