Probiotics for the Management of Oral Mucositis: An Interpretive Review of Current Evidence.

Mucositis is one of the major side effects of anti-cancer therapies. Mucositis may lead to other abnormalities such as depression, infection, and pain, especially in young patients. Although there is no specific treatment for mucositis, several pharmacological and non-pharmacological options are available to prevent its complications.

Anti-atherogenic properties of Kgengwe () seed powder in low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout mice are mediated through beneficial alterations in inflammatory pathways.

Kgengwe fruits are commonly consumed in sub-Saharan countries. Recent reports indicated low coronary artery disease rates in those regions. To investigate anti-atherogenic properties and potential mechanisms of action of Kgengwe seed powder (KSP), male low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout (LDL-r-KO) mice were fed with an atherogenic diet supplemented with (treated, = 10) or without (controls, = 10) 10% (/) KSP for 20 weeks.

RANKL/RANK/OPG Pathway: A Mechanism Involved in Exercise-Induced Bone Remodeling.

Bones as an alive organ consist of about 70% mineral and 30% organic component. About 200 million people are suffering from osteopenia and osteoporosis around the world. There are multiple ways of protecting bone from endogenous and exogenous risk factors.

Anti-Atherosclerotic Properties of Wild Rice in Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Knockout Mice: The Gut Microbiome, Cytokines, and Metabolomics Study.

Background And Aim: We previously reported the anti-atherogenic properties of wild rice in low-density lipoprotein receptor knockout (LDL-r-KO) mice. The present study aimed to discover the mechanism of action for such effects.

Materials: Fecal and plasma samples from the wild rice treated and control mice were used.
