Researchers have found that cannabinoids, compounds derived from the Cannabis sativa plant, have anti-cancer effects and could be potential treatments for gynecological cancers. Non-psychoactive cannabinoids show promise in treating ovarian cancer, but more research is needed.
Researchers identified and characterized 25 watermelon genes involved in growth, development, and stress response. These genes may have functional interactions in stress hormone networks. Understanding their roles will be important for studying stress and hormone signaling pathways.
The study evaluated the effect of a plant extract on hormone levels and cholesterol in a rat model of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Results suggest the extract may have potential in treating PCOS by normalizing hormones and cholesterol levels.
Administration of the natural compound AR reduced the size and histological morphology of endometriosis lesions in an in vivo model. AR also reduced hyperproliferation, restored the impaired apoptosis pathway, and exhibited antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pain-reducing effects.
Study tested whether beetroot juice (BRJ) could lower blood pressure in adults with ADPKD. Results showed BRJ increased nitric oxide, reducing clinic blood pressure.
In this study, the researchers investigated the effects of (Gaertn.) Roxb. (TBE) on testosterone-inhibited hair growth. They found that TBE increased hair growth and was more effective than a commercial treatment. This suggests that TBE could be a promising option for treating hair loss and promoting hair growth.
