Modulation of antioxidant defense and PSII components by exogenously applied acetate mitigates salinity stress in Avena sativa.

Sodium acetate can mitigate the detrimental effects of salinity stress in oat plants. It improves plant growth, chlorophyll content, and antioxidant defense system, ensuring osmoprotection even under stressful conditions. Sodium acetate positively impacts various plant development parameters, especially photosynthetic activity.

Codonopsis lanceolata polysaccharide ameliorates high-fat diet induced-postpartum hypogalactia via stimulating prolactin receptor-mediated Jak2/Stat5 signaling.

Researchers found that Codonopsis lanceolata polysaccharide improved weight gain, liver health, metabolic abnormalities, mammary gland development, and lactation performance in mice with hypogalactia induced by a high-fat diet. This suggests a potential use of traditional Chinese medicine for treating hypogalactia.
