Introduction: The functions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are important, particularly in the proteins' synthesis, folding, modification, and transport. Based on traditional medicine and our previous studies on alatum in lipopolysaccharide-induced depressive behavior and scopolamine-induced impaired memory, the present study explored the role of hydroalcoholic extract of (ZAHA) seeds in reducing the ER stress in mice.
Methods: The mice were restrained for 28 days in polystyrene tubes.
This Study aimed to characterise the phenolic compounds in extract and assess their potential antioxidant activity as well as its cardioprotective potential in isoproterenol-induced cardiac hypertrophy in an experimental animal model. antioxidant properties were determined using DPPH, ABTS, FRAP, PMD assays. lipid peroxidation experiment was also performed with heart tissues.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the greatest global dilemmas, and the current treatment option is to target hormone receptors with partial agonists/antagonists. Estrogen and aromatase enzymes play important roles in breast cancer. Excessive estrogen activity or inadequate estrogen production leads to various hormonal issues, including breast cancer.

In the present study, we have developed (MB) fruit pulp powder and evaluated its cardioprotective effect in cardiac hypertrophy, which is often associated with inflammation and oxidative stress. An ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer (UPLC-MS/MS) has been used for the detection and systematic characterization of the phenolic compounds present in fruit pulp.
