Researchers studied how purpleness is controlled in Angelica sinensis for commercial value. They found abscisic acid and key genes regulate anthocyanin production. Overexpressing AsANS increased purpleness, providing insights for breeding.
Study tested different methods of ovarian tissue cryopreservation in mice, showing encapsulation in alginate hydrogel before liquid nitrogen immersion reduces damage. Potential impact on fertility preservation techniques.
Study dissected gene expression in sugarcane hybrids for high biomass. Highlighted roles of plant hormones in growth regulation, specifically IAA, JA, and ABA pathways. Potential for producing high biomass biofuel varieties through genetic engineering.
Researchers found that L. extract containing ferutinin improved sexual behavior and reduced postmenopausal symptoms in women. This natural hormone therapy could potentially improve quality of life during menopause.
Tomato consumption reduced metabolic syndrome risk factors in postmenopausal women. Significant improvements in body weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, and antioxidant levels were observed with tomato diet.
Progesterone in the environment harms humans and wildlife. This study shows L. plants can effectively remove progesterone with the help of 24-EBL, reducing oxidative damage and enhancing antioxidant system activity.
"DNP improved insulin resistance in PCOS rats by enhancing estrous cycle, follicle development, and glycolytic pathway via SIRT2 activation. Potential treatment for PCOS patients."
Chinese researchers investigated the effects of Ligustrum lucidum on premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). FLL can improve ovarian function and treat POI, offering potential benefits for women experiencing this condition.
