Differential Cytotoxic Effects of Cell-Free Supernatants of Emerging Pathogens and on Four Cell Lines Reveal Vero Cells as a Putative Candidate for Cytotoxicity Analysis.

and are recognized as emerging pathogens with zoonotic potential. Despite their increasing importance, there is a paucity of data on the cytotoxicity of these two pathogens. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the cytotoxic potentials of the cell-free supernatants from 10 and 15 isolates for their cytotoxic effects on four different cell lines (CHO, Vero, HeLa, and MDCK).

upregulate GLUT4, AMPK, AKT and insulin in alloxan-induced diabetic mice: an in vivo and in silico study.

Objective: This study was designed to investigate whether the glucose lowering effects of acts by modulating GLUT4, AKT2 and AMPK expression in the skeletal muscle and liver tissues.

Methodology: Alloxan-induced diabetic mice treated with was assessed for their blood glucose and insulin level, mRNA and protein expression using distinguished methods. Additionally, GLUT4, AKT2 and AMPK were docked with catechin, epicatechin, kaempferol, metformin, quercetin and ursolic acid reportedly present in .

Effect of 5-HT receptor agonist and antagonist on chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) - Mediated anxiety and depression in adolescent Wistar albino rat: Implicating serotonin and mitochondrial ETC-I function in serotonergic neurotransmission.

Anxiety and depression are among the major neuropsychiatric disorders worldwide, and yet the etiologies of these disorders remain unclear to date. Chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) procedure mimics several behavioral characteristics such as anxiety and depression in rodents. Using this animal model, we have attempted to understand the serotonergic system in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, while using the 5-HTR agonist and antagonist in evaluating 5-HT receptor neurotransmission.
