Pumpkin seed extract reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and weight in menopausal rats by boosting antioxidant and vasculoprotective gene expression. Good for menopausal health.
Researchers studied the estrogenic activity of 4 prenylated flavonoids from a Japanese medicinal herb. Results suggest potential health benefits and new insights into the herb's therapeutic effects.
Scientists researched a potential skin-whitening agent from Tagetes erecta L. flowers. The extract showed promising results in inhibiting melanogenesis, which could lead to new safe and effective cosmetic ingredients.
Study examines DBL effects on PTC. DBL, a Chinese medicine, shows potential for treating thyroid cancer. Research could lead to new, effective therapies.
Continuous planting negatively impacts plant growth, root inhibition, reduced biomass, soil nutrient depletion, decreased nutrient uptake, and hindered hormone regulation. Effective management strategies are needed for sustainable cultivation practices.
Study on Quercus robur seedlings explores taproot growth in forest nurseries. Container cultivation activates genes for root growth. Gene expression patterns and phytohormone analysis reveal hormonal regulation of taproot growth. Important for forest management.
A new plant growth hormone-producing strain was discovered from soil in China. It is genetically distinct from other Microbacterium species and can grow in various conditions. It is proposed as a new species called Microbacterium dauci.
Researchers identified two compounds, procyanidin B2 and luteolin, from that showed better interaction with aromatase and higher stability than a commercial inhibitor. These compounds reduced aromatase concentration in ovarian tissues, indicating their potential as aromatase inhibitors for treating infertility in PCOS patients.
