Anti-obesity effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum SKO-001 in high-fat diet-induced obese mice.

Purpose: Previous reports showed that some probiotics provide beneficial effects on various diseases including metabolic disorders. This study aimed to investigate the anti-obesity effects of Lactiplantibacillus (L.) plantarum SKO-001 (SKO-001), a probiotic strain newly isolated from Angelica gigas.

4-phenylpyridine suppresses UVB-induced skin inflammation by targeting c-Src in vitro and in vivo.

Acute or repetitive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) cause disruptions to the skin barrier and subsequent inflammatory skin disease. 4-phenylpyridine (4-PP) is a constituent of Brassica campestris L. ssp.

Identification of a candidate gene responsible for the G locus determining chartreuse bulb color in onion (Allium cepa L.) using bulked segregant RNA-Seq.

A gene encoding a laccase responsible for chartreuse onion bulb color was identified. Markers tagging this gene showed perfect linkage with bulb colors among diverse germplasm. To identify a casual gene for the G locus determining chartreuse bulb color in onion (Allium cepa L.

Analysis of the Chemical, Antioxidant, and Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Pink Pepper ( L.).

Here, we compared the chemical properties and antioxidant effects of black pepper ( L.) and pink pepper ( L.).

Mineral-rich Jeju lava sea water suppresses lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and ameliorates high-fat diet-induced obesity in C57BL/6 J mice.

This research aimed to evaluate the potential inhibitory effect of mineral-rich Jeju lava sea water (JLSW) on lipid accumulation. This study optimized the calcium (Ca): magnesium (Mg) ratio (5:1, 2.5:1, 1:1) of JLSW and evaluated the effect on lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells using Oil Red O staining.

3-Pentylcatechol, a Non-Allergenic Urushiol Derivative, Displays Anti- Activity In Vivo.

We previously reported that 3-pentylcatechol (PC), a synthetic non-allergenic urushiol derivative, inhibited the growth of in an in vitro assay using nutrient agar and broth. In this study, we aimed to investigate the in vivo antimicrobial activity of PC against growing in the stomach mucous membrane. Four-week-old male C57BL/6 mice (n = 4) were orally inoculated with Sydney Strain-1 (SS-1) for 8 weeks.

Vitman Extract Prevents LPS-Induced Inflammation by Inhibiting the NF-κB Pathway in RAW 264.7 Cells.

Nutraceutical treatments can reduce inflammation and prevent the development of inflammatory diseases. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effects of Vitman extract (SGE) were examined. SGE suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated nitrite production in RAW 264.

Extract Prevents Inflammation in RAW264.7 Macrophages Via Inhibition of NF-κB Signaling Pathway.

Consumption of anti-inflammatory nutraceuticals may help treat or prevent inflammation-related illnesses such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This study evaluated the effect of extract (CHE) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling cascades. CHE significantly suppressed LPS-induced NO production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in RAW264.
