Article Synopsis
- Excessive exercise can lead to increased oxidative stress in muscles, but sulforaphane, a compound that activates Nrf2, may help protect against this effect.* -
- In a study involving 16 young men, those who took sulforaphane supplements had reduced muscle soreness and less oxidative stress two days after performing eccentric exercises compared to a control group.* -
- The results indicate that sulforaphane can enhance the body's protective responses and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) following intense exercise.*
We investigated the three-dimensional ultrastructure of feeding tubes and the surrounding region in giant cells induced in rose balsam (Impatiens balsamina L.) roots by the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, using osmium maceration coupled with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). In the roots of 35-day-old galled rose balsam plants, adult nematodes induced the formation of giant cells containing feeding tubes and numerous organelles, including tubular endoplasmic reticulum (ER), cisternal ER, and mitochondria.

In this study we documented the movement of adult female nematodes for more than 2 hr in micro-slices of infected tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and rose balsam (Impatiens balsamina) plants using light and video microscopy. Stylet thrusting was followed by short pumping actions of the esophagus, dorsal esophageal gland ampulla, and metacorpal bulb.
