The Effect of Leaf Extract on C2C12 Myoblast Proliferation and Redox Status Under Oxidative Insult.

Skeletal muscle tissue can regenerate after damage through the action of satellite cells, which proliferate as myoblasts when activated. Oxidative stress, marked by high rates of reactive oxygen species (e.g.

Comparative Metabolomic Analysis of Leaves of Different Geographical Origins and Their Antioxidant Effects on C2C12 Myotubes.

is widely grown throughout the tropics and increasingly used for its therapeutic and nutraceutical properties. These properties are attributed to potent antioxidant and metabolism regulators, including glucosinolates/isothiocyanates as well as flavonoids, polyphenols, and phenolic acids. Research to date largely consists of geographically limited studies that only examine material available locally.

Leaf Extract Protects C2C12 Myotubes against HO-Induced Oxidative Stress.

The imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defense systems leads to macromolecule and tissue damage as a result of cellular oxidative stress. This phenomenon is considered a key factor in fatigue and muscle damage following chronic or high-intensity physical exercise. In the present study, the antioxidant effect of leaf extract (MOLE) was evaluated in C2C12 myotubes exposed to an elevated hydrogen peroxide (HO) insult.

Leaf Extract Upregulates Nrf2/HO-1 Expression and Ameliorates Redox Status in C2C12 Skeletal Muscle Cells.

is a multi-purpose herbal plant with numerous health benefits. In skeletal muscle cells, leaf extract (MOLE) acts by increasing the oxidative metabolism through the SIRT1-PPARα pathway. SIRT1, besides being a critical energy sensor, is involved in the activation related to redox homeostasis of transcription factors such as the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2).

HPTLC-PCA Complementary to HRMS-PCA in the Case Study of Antioxidant Phenolic Profiling.

A comparison between High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) analysis and Liquid Chromatography High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRMS), coupled with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was carried out by performing a combined metabolomics study to discriminate () plants. For a rapid digital record of extracts (leaves, yellow fruit, and red fruit collected in La Maddalena and Sassari, Sardinia), HPTLC was used. Data were then analysed by PCA with the results of the ability of this technique to discriminate samples.
