Pituitary gonadotropins directly govern ovarian functions, which are in turn regulated by the ovarian steroid hormones. The precise interplay of gonadotropins and steroid hormones is critical for follicle growth and differentiation. Furthermore, autophagy regulates ovarian follicle differentiation.

- Paclitaxel (PTX) chemoresistance is a significant issue in cervical cancer treatment, making it crucial to find drug combinations with minimal side effects to enhance its effectiveness.
- Ginsenoside Rg5 (GRg5) shows promise as a chemosensitizer, potentially reversing multidrug resistance in PTX-resistant HeLa cells.
- The study found that GRg5 not only improved the cytotoxic effects of PTX but also promoted apoptosis through the activation of key proteins and genes, suggesting it could be an effective combination therapy to enhance paclitaxel treatment in cervical cancer patients.
Coir pith, an agro-industrial residue, is resistant to natural degradation, and its accumulation causes environmental pollution. Ferulic acid, a precursor of vanillin, was extracted from the raw coir pith by chemical pre-treatment such as alkaline hydrolysis, acidification, and liquid-liquid extraction method. The obtained ferulic acid (1.
