Age-dependent alteration in metabolism of vitamin B , neurotransmitters, and amino acids after 4'-O-methylpyridoxine administration in rats.

4'-O-methylpyridoxine (MPN), a recognized antivitamin B compound, is a potentially poisonous substance found in Ginkgo biloba L. In this work, the effects of MPN on the metabolism of vitamin B , neurotransmitters, and amino acids were compared in the plasma and brain of young and adult rats under various administration times. Results showed that the contents of MPN residues in the plasma and brain of young rats were 12.

In vivo toxicity assessment of 4'-O-methylpyridoxine from Ginkgo biloba seeds: Growth, hematology, metabolism, and oxidative parameters.

4'-O-methylpyridoxine (MPN), a recognized antivitamin B compound, is a potentially poisonous substance found in Ginkgo biloba seeds and leaves. In this work, the body weights, histopathological changes, plasma vitamin B (VB), biochemical parameters, oxidative stress responses, and amino acids of rats were investigated after intragastric administration of MPN for 15 days. Results showed that intragastric administration of 50 mg/kg BW MPN caused pathological changes in the brain and heart tissues of rats.

Ultrasound-assisted adsorption/desorption of jujube peel flavonoids using macroporous resins.

The work explored the process of ultrasound-assisted adsorption/desorption to efficiently purify jujube peel flavonoids (JPFs) using macroporous resins (MRs). The impact of ultrasound power and temperature on the adsorption/desorption features of JPFs on MRs were studied. The maximum adsorption (80.
