A study on Morus alba cultivars in Italy found variations in nutritional value and biological activity. Some compounds correlated strongly with activity, and levels decreased as fruits ripened, impacting consumption and economic value.
This study investigated how titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) can improve the physiological responses and phytochemical properties of Melissa officinalis (medicinal plant) under drought stress. The results showed that TiO NPs increased essential oil production, photosynthetic pigments, antioxidant systems, nutrient absorption, and reduced stress levels.
This study analyzes the volatile compounds in L. flowers and evaluates the inhibitory effects of L. essential oil on microglia activation. The findings suggest that L. essential oil can inhibit overactivation of microglia, reducing neuroinflammation and oxidative stress responses in Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers analyzed the accuracy of cannabinoid labels in commercial hemp products. This is important because incorrect labeling affects consumers' ability to make informed decisions about their usage.
Six unknown compounds were discovered in Clematis chinensis, along with known compounds. Some compounds showed significant anti-inflammatory activity, reducing the secretion of inflammatory factors by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway.
Piper nigrum essential oil has a pleasant aroma, unique flavor, and many bioactivities. Its potential role against colitis needs further investigation.
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) reduce cadmium (Cd) content in leaves under elevated CO. However, AMF colonization decreases flavonoid synthesis in the presence of Cd and elevated CO, affecting plant defenses against abiotic stress.
Panax quinquefolius saponin (PQS) combined with dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) was studied for its effects on platelet aggregation, heart attack expansion, gastric injury in rats, and its impact on arachidonic acid metabolism. PQS showed potential benefits.
