This study investigates how coptisine (COP), derived from Coptis chinensis, inhibits macrophage inflammation in ulcerative colitis (UC). COP's protective mechanism against UC in mice induced with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) is explored.
In this study, the effects of sage oil on carp were investigated. Sage oil did not affect growth, but increased antioxidant activity and improved gut health. It also increased fertility and disease resistance against A. hydrophila infection. Use of sage oil is recommended in carp farming.
Handelin, a compound from Chrysanthemum indicum, improves muscle health in aging worms. This study investigates its protective effects and mechanisms in a mouse muscle atrophy model induced by cachexia and aging.
Ligustrum lucidum, a plant, was studied to identify its targets and anti-inflammatory mechanism. This was done by screening core targets, analyzing protein interactions, and using molecular docking. The findings can provide important insights for anti-inflammatory treatments.
Researchers evaluated the antioxidant capacity of spearmint essential oil and dew. 1% spearmint oil had the strongest antioxidant effect (50.94% superoxide scavenging, 90.11% hydroxyl scavenging), while 100% dew had moderate effects (47.65% superoxide scavenging, 45.60% hydroxyl scavenging). This is relevant for developing spearmint truffle and oil.
Scientists optimized a protocol for clonal propagation of Jerusalem artichoke, a nutrient-rich plant. They found the best conditions for shoot and root formation, successfully regenerating plants. However, atypical shoots had poor growth due to high levels of IAA and ABA hormones, increasing antioxidant enzyme activity.
