Understanding environmental influences on individuals' behaviour is challenging. Here we have investigated the housing impact of 9 weeks enriched environment (EE) and social isolation (SI) abrupt deprivation EE (enrichment removal: ER) BALB/c mice. Compared with widely used C57BL/6 strain in research, synthesises serotonin less efficiently due to a genetic variation thus may potentially represent human populations at higher risk stress-related disorders. We assessed effects SI by conducting...
Metabolic dysfunction (MD) is a major health problem threatening the life quality of menopausal women. Saffron has been widely used in herb prescriptions for treating syndrome. However, pharmacological effects and mechanisms saffron are poorly understood. Here, we investigated effect crocin, ingredient its active metabolite blood, crocetin, on MD lipid metabolism ovariectomized (OVX) mice 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The present study showed that intragastric treatment crocin prevented weight gain,...
