L-Glu treatment reduces chilling injury in prune fruit by enhancing Ca signaling, GABA content, and antioxidant capacity. Optimal concentration is 0.1g/L. Enhances mitochondrial structure and energy levels under cold stress.
PSP, a polysaccharide extracted from natural sources, shows potential as an antidepressant by regulating microglial activity and neuroinflammatory pathways in mice under chronic restraint stress. This study highlights the importance of PSP in treating depression.
Researchers studied lucan broad bean pod valves (BPs) rich in L-dopa and polyphenols for Parkinson's treatment. BP extracts showed higher L-dopa content than seeds, with neuroprotective polyphenols, antioxidants, and no harmful metabolites. BP extracts were more effective than synthetic L-dopa in preventing oxidative stress.
The study shows that black mulberry extract is rich in antioxidants and has neuroprotective properties, potentially preventing neurodegenerative diseases. It also inhibits MAO-A enzyme and scavenges free radicals.
Researchers studied the use of GABA and 1-MCP to extend avocado shelf life by reducing chilling injury. The combined treatment improved fruit quality and delayed ripening and ethylene production, making it a recommended strategy for refrigerated storage.
Lavender and geranium essential oil compounds linalool and geraniol show potential in reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and altering iron metabolism in in vitro Parkinson's models. Potential alternative therapy.
SBP-1 polysaccharide from Schisandra chinensis may protect against Parkinson's disease by enhancing autophagy and targeting MCL-1 to improve neuronal survival. Potential treatment for PD.
Two polysaccharides from Chrysanthemum morifolium inhibit acetylcholinesterase and boost immune function. GJP-2 may enhance cognitive and immune function, paving the way for potential medical and food applications.
