Background: Evidence has revealed that oestrogen deprivation-induced osteolysis is microbiota-dependent and can be treated by probiotics. However, the underlying mechanism require further investigation. This study aims to provide additional evidence supporting the use of probiotics as an adjuvant treatment and to explore the pathophysiology of oestrogen-deprived osteolysis.

Therefore, finding effective adjuvant agents for chemotherapy is crucial.
Methods: In this study, a CRC mouse model was successfully constructed using AOM/DSS, and the treatment was carried out by probiotic Bifidobacterium longum SX-1326 (B.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by chronic and progressive symptoms; it is more prevalent in men than in women. The sex-specific influence of the intestinal microbiota has been associated with some neurodegenerative diseases, but the relationship with PD is currently unclear. In this study, we treated mice with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) to establish a PD mouse model, and we utilised an antibiotic cocktail (Abx) to deplete the intestinal microbiota to evaluate the influence of the intestinal microbiota on male and female PD mice.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a serious injury to the central nervous system. Previous studies have discovered that the development of SCI is associated with gene expression. The purpose of this study was to explore the significance of lncRNA TSIX in SCI and its underlying mechanism involved.

However, the poor chemical stability and water solubility of many PD-AOs currently limit their application as functional ingredients in foods and pharmaceuticals. Moreover, it is often difficult to isolate and detect specific antioxidants in multi-component systems, which again limits their potential in the food and medical industries.

Finding neurotrophic drugs still remains vital due to the limited drug spectrum available currently. Substantial evidence suggests that glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) exerts neuroprotection on PD, yet the short-lived biological activity markedly hindered its application.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFParkinson's disease (PD) is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system. Although some drugs can alleviate the progress of PD, their long-term use will lead to complications, so it is still necessary to find new drugs to delay or cure PD effectively. In view of the difficulty in developing new drugs, it is imperative to discover new functions of existing compounds that could be used to treat PD.

However, there are currently no good methods to treat or prevent aging, so anti-aging research has crucial implications. In this research, we screened bacteria from centenarians, and finally selected four probiotics , and ) to form a probiotic combination.
