The Garlic Compound, Diallyl Trisulfide, Attenuates Benzo[a]Pyrene-Induced Precancerous Effect through Its Antioxidant Effect, AhR Inhibition, and Increased DNA Repair in Human Breast Epithelial Cells.

Exposure to B[a]P increases breast cancer risk. Garlic compound DATS can block B[a]P-induced carcinogenesis in breast cells, reducing cell damage and promoting DNA repair. DATS has potential for breast cancer prevention.

Indian Almond (Terminalia catappa Linn.) Leaf Extract Extends Lifespan by Improving Lipid Metabolism and Antioxidant Activity Dependent on AMPK Signaling Pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans under High-Glucose-Diet Conditions.

Indian almond leaf extract (TCE) with high flavonoid and phenolic content showed antioxidant and antiaging effects in obese worms. TCE inhibited lipid and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and prolonged lifespan by downregulating atgl-1, daf-16, and skn-1 genes. TCE may have potential for antiaging under metabolic disorders.

Predicting and optimizing reactive oxygen species metabolism in Punica granatum L. through machine learning: role of exogenous GABA on antioxidant enzyme activity under drought and salinity stress.

This study used machine learning models to predict the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on plant traits during drought, salinity, and combined stress conditions. These findings could help enhance crop tolerance to stress factors, benefiting food security.
