Icariin (ICA), the main active flavonoid glucoside isolated from Herba Epimedii, has been shown to prevent postmenopausal bone loss in vitro. However, mechanisms by which ICA prevents vivo remain poorly understood. In present study, effect of an ovariectomized (OVX) rat model osteoporosis was evaluated. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham‑operated and OVX groups. The randomly five groups: group (water only), Fosamax (positive) (5.04 mg/kg, weekly, administered orally), OVX‑ICA groups...

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary leucine on antioxidant activity and expression antioxidant- mitochondrial-related genes in longissimus dorsi muscle liver piglets. Three diets were formulated with different levels supplemented (0%, 0.25%, 0.5%). Results showed that supplementation 0.25% significantly increased antisuperoxide anion (ASA) antihydroxyl radical (AHR) activities total superoxide dismutade (T-SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), S-transferase (GST),...

Background: The relationship between dietary carbohydrate intake and serum Klotho levels, an aging biomarker, remains uncertain. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association levels among American adults aged 40–79. Methods: We analyzed data from 10,669 40–79 years who participated in National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007 2016. Trained interviewers assessed using a 24 h recall. Serum concentrations were measured commercially available ELISA kits provided by...

Abstract A previous study demonstrated that leucine upregulates the slow myosin heavy chain mRNA expression in C2C12 cells. However, role of slow‐twitch muscle fibers and mitochondrial function porcine skeletal satellite cells as well its mechanism remain unclear. In this study, cultured differentiation medium were treated with 2 mM for 3 days. Sirt1 inhibitor EX 527, AMPK compound C, α1 si RNA used to examine underlying mechanism. Here we showed increased function‐related gene expression,...

Leucine can promote slow-twitch muscle fibers formation, and this effect may be mediated by AMPK signaling pathway. In addition, adiponectin (AdipoQ) plays an important role in regulation of fiber type transformation. AdipoQ is located the upstream its secretion regulated leucine. Therefore, aim study was to explore whether leucine affects transformation through Our data showed that 4 mM significantly increased protein expression levels slow MyHC, Myoglobin, Troponin I-SS, AdipoQ, AdipoR1,...

The "iron hypothesis" of atherosclerosis has long been controversial. Several studies have shown that dietary iron restriction or low-iron diets can effectively alleviate in rabbits and mice. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms these phenomena remain to be elucidated. In this study, we further evaluated possible correlations between a diet alleviation by using quantitative proteomic approach. For purpose, apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE KO) mice were divided into three groups fed...
