A novel peptidoglycan isolated from Semiaquilegia adoxoides inhibits Aβ production via activating autophagy.

The accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) containing senile plaques is one of the key histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Increasing evidences demonstrated the important role of autophagy in Aβ clearance. Recent studies implied that extracts from Semiaquilegia adoxoides (DC.

Impairment of Intestinal Monocarboxylate Transporter 6 Function and Expression in Diabetic Rats Induced by Combination of High-Fat Diet and Low Dose of Streptozocin: Involvement of Butyrate-Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor- Activation.

Generally, diabetes remarkably alters the expression and function of intestinal drug transporters. Nateglinide and bumetanide are substrates of monocarboxylate transporter 6 (MCT6). We investigated whether diabetes down-regulated the function and expression of intestinal MCT6 and the possible mechanism in diabetic rats induced by a combination of high-fat diet and low-dose streptozocin.
