Modulatory effects of dietary prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) peel on high salinity tolerance, growth rate, immunity and antioxidant capacity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

The study found that incorporating prickly pear peel (PPP) into Nile tilapia diets improved growth, feed utilization, immune function, and antioxidant capacity. The optimal amount of PPP was found to be around 1 to 2 g per kg of diet. These findings are important for improving stress tolerance and overall health in Nile tilapia.

A crossover randomized controlled trial examining the effects of black seed (Nigella sativa) supplementation on IL-1β, IL-6 and leptin, and insulin parameters in overweight and obese women.

This study examined the impact of Nigella sativa oil supplementation on overweight/obese women. The results suggest that NS oil may help manage inflammation and obesity by affecting blood mRNA expressions and levels of certain proteins.

Polysaccharide of Asparagus cochinchinensis (Lour.) Merr regulates macrophage immune response and epigenetic memory through TLR4-JNK/p38/ERK signaling pathway and histone modification.

The researchers investigated the relationship between the immune memory of macrophages and histone modifications. They found that the polysaccharide of Asparagus cochinchinensis enhances macrophages' immune function, but it is unclear if this is linked to immune memory and histone modification.

Isolation of plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PDENs) from Solanum nigrum L. berries and Their Effect on interleukin-6 expression as a potential anti-inflammatory agent.

Researchers isolated and analyzed plant-derived exosome-like nanoparticles (PDENs) from black nightshade berries. PDENs showed anti-inflammatory properties by decreasing IL-6 expression in stimulated cells. PDENs are easier and cheaper to obtain than animal cell-derived exosomes, offering a potential alternative treatment for inflammation.
