Shatavari extract protected Nile tilapia from heart damage caused by Deltamethrin pesticide. It restored blood parameters, reduced toxicity levels, and improved cardiac function through antioxidant and anti-apoptotic mechanisms.
Irisin/Dendrobium nobile Lindl combination therapy protects against myocardial IR injury in aged rats by suppressing pyroptosis and enhancing mitophagy. This therapy improves cardiac function, decreases LDH and cTn-I levels, and reduces inflammation. Further studies needed for potential use in aging-related heart disease.
Researchers investigated the potential of quince peel as a sustainable food source. They found that a hydroethanolic extract of quince peel exhibited high antioxidant activity and protected against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rats. This suggests that quince peel could have cardioprotective effects.
Scientists sequenced the transcriptome of Iron-Heart Cunninghamia lanceolata, a Chinese fir relative with potential breeding traits. They obtained genetic information, identified molecular markers, and developed SSR primers for breeding, genetic analysis, and conservation efforts.
Valepotriate in valerian has potent antioxidant properties and is beneficial for various cardiovascular conditions.
Researchers investigated the relationship between gut microbiota, metabolites, and cardiac contractility in type 2 diabetes. They found that dysbiosis of gut microbiota and secretion of metabolites can directly harm cardiac contractility. This information is important for understanding the causes of diabetic cardiomyopathy and improving patient safety.
Researchers analyzed the constituents of Brassica oleracea L. leaf extract (BOE) and found that it can inhibit cardiac cell hypertrophy, reduce harmful substances in the body, increase mitochondrial function, and decrease apoptosis-related proteins. This suggests that BOE may protect against myocardial cell injury.
This study used network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vivo experiments to investigate the potential of Artemisia annua in treating acute myocardial infarction. It identified key targets and pathways and demonstrated the extract's positive effects on ventricular function and reducing fibrosis.
