Background: Insulin resistance (IR) affects the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is also influenced by accumulated fine particle air pollution [particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter <2.5μm (PM2.5)] exposure. Previous experimental and epidemiological studies have proposed several potential mechanisms PM2.5 contributes to IR/T2DM, including inflammation imbalance, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction. Recent evidence suggests that imbalance gut microbiota...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in world. However, current biomarkers that discriminate HCC from liver cirrhosis (LC) are important but limited. More reliable for diagnosis therefore needed. Serum patients, LC patients and healthy volunteers were analyzed using NMR LC/MS-based approach conjunction with random forest (RF) analysis to their serum metabolic profiles. Thirty-two potential have been identified, feasibility these was evaluated, where 100%...

This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of genistein or puerarin on chronic alcohol-induced liver injury in vivo and explore underlying mechanisms hepatoprotective effects. Mice were administered (0.3 mmol kg(-1) body weight) gastrically infused with 50% alcohol once per day for 5 weeks. Levels serum transaminases, hepatic lipids, antioxidant capacities, inflammation, apoptosis, histopathological sections analyzed. Results showed that exhibited similar effects ameliorating...

Scope Cyanidin‐3‐glucoside (C3G) is a major anthocyanin in berries and potential nutritional supplement for preventing retinal degeneration. However, the protective mechanism of C3G its metabolites, protocatechuic acid (PCA) ferulic (FA), remain unclear. The molecular mechanisms metabolites against photooxidative damage vivo are investigated. Methods results Pigmented rabbits were orally administered C3G, PCA, FA (0.11 mmol/kg/day) 3 weeks. Electroretinography, histological analysis, TUNEL...

Excessive visible light exposure can induce damage to retinal cells and contribute the development or progression of age-related macular degeneration. In this study we created a model phototoxicity in pigmented rabbits. Furthermore, investigated protective effect bilberry anthocyanin extract (BAE, Table A1) explored possible mechanisms action model. The light-induced was established by rabbits exposed at 18,000 lx for 2 h, they were sacrificed on day 7. After administration BAE dosages 250...

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) has become one of the major global health problems, with augmented morbidity and mortality. Evidence indicates that flavonoids can reduce risk ALD owing to their biological properties. However, effect structurally different flavonoid subclasses on alleviating alcohol-induced damage in a same model never been studied. In this study, mice were supplemented five kinds subgroups, apigenin (flavone), quercetin (flavonol), naringenin (flavanone), (-)-epigallocatechin...

Bee pollen (BP) is collected by honeybees from flower mixed with nectar and its secretions extensive nutritional therapeutic properties. Lipids are known to be critical contributors for the effects of BP vary depending on different plant sources; however, lipid profiles not available. Here, an UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap/MS method was established comprehensive lipidomics analysis derived three major plants (Brassica campestris L., Camellia sinensis Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.). A total nine...

Astragalus, a medical and edible plant in China, shows several bioactive properties. However, the role of astragalus attenuating alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is less clear. The objective this project to investigate improving effect saponins (AS) polysaccharides (AP), which are two primary constituents on hepatic injury induced by alcohol, potential mechanisms action. Different doses AS (50 100 mg/kg bw) AP (300 600 were orally given alcohol-treated mice for four weeks. results demonstrated...

Purpose: Due to a lack of recognized molecular targets for therapy, patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), unlike other subtypes cancers, generally have not benefited from the advances made targeted agents. The CXCR4/SDF-1 axis is involved in tumor growth and metastasis TNBC. Therefore, down-regulation expression CXCR4 cells potential therapeutic strategy inhibiting primary In order identify bioactive compounds that inhibit traditional Chinese medicines, we investigated capacity...
