Fermented Miller Leaf Extract Suppresses Acute Alcoholic Liver Injury via Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects in C57BL/6J Mice.

This study confirmed the change in functional composition and alcohol-induced acute liver injury in after fermentation. An acute liver injury was induced by administration of ethanol (3 g/kg/day) to C57BL/6J mice for 5 days. A fermented Miller leaf (FAAL) extract was orally administered 30 minutes before ethanol treatment.

Molecular and morphological discrimination of Chrysanthemum indicum using allele-specific PCR and T-shaped trichome.

Chrysanthemum indicum L. is a traditional oriental medicinal herb prepared as a tea from flowers that have been used in China and South Korea since ancient times. It has a long history in the treatment of hypertension, inflammation, and respiratory diseases.

Gold Nanoparticles Synthesized with Fresh Leaf Extract Suppress Adipogenesis by Downregulating PPAR/CEBP Signaling in 3T3-L1 Mature Adipocytes.

The obesity rate has been increasing worldwide, which is important because obesity has been linked to the development of various metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and stroke. Nanomedicine offers a new approach for treating many diseases, including metabolic disorders such as obesity. In this study, we explored the anti-adipogenic effects of spherical gold nanoparticles synthesized with fresh leaves ( AuNPS) using 3T3-L1 mature adipocytes.

Lysobacter panacihumi sp. nov., isolated from ginseng cultivated soil.

A Gram-negative, non-motile, aerobic, catalase-, and oxidasepositive bacterial strain, designated DCY117, was isolated from ginseng cultivated soil in Gochang-gun, Republic of Korea, and was characterized taxonomically using a multifaceted approach. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain DCY117 showed highest similarity to Lysobacter ruishenii CTN-1 (95.3%).

Rhizobium panacihumi sp. nov., an isolate from ginseng-cultivated soil, as a potential plant growth promoting bacterium.

A novel bacterial strain designated DCY116 was isolated from ginseng-cultivated soil in Gochang-gun, Republic of Korea. Strain DCY116 belongs to the genus Rhizobium, and is closely related to Rhizobium yantingense H66 (98.3%), Neorhizobium huautlense S02 (98.
