Anti-Depressant Like Effects of Aethoscytus Foveolus Oil by Improving Stress-mediated Alterations of Monoamine Oxidase, Oxidative Stress, and Neuroinflammation In-vivo.

Depression is a neuropsychological disorder with a complex pathophysiology and its pharmacotherapy is compromised by adverse side effects. Addressing the need for effective treatment for depression, the current study aims to characterize the antidepressant activity of oil extract derived from Aethoscytus foveolus, bugs that are widely available in India, in a mice model of stress-induced depression. Chemical moieties characterized by GC-MS of A.

Recombinant YopE and LcrV vaccine candidates protect mice against plague and yersiniosis.

No licensed vaccine exists for the lethal plague and yersiniosis. Therefore, a combination of recombinant YopE and LcrV antigens of was evaluated for its vaccine potential in a mouse model. YopE and LcrV in formulation with alum imparted a robust humoral immune response, with isotyping profiles leaning towards the IgG1 and IgG2b subclasses.

Validating the Nutraceutical Significance of Minor Millets by Employing Nutritional-Antinutritional Profiling.

Millets are group of underutilized cereal crops with higher nutritional values. The present investigation used different classes of minor millets, including barnyard (sava), little (kutki), finger (ragi), kodo and foxtail millets, for evaluation of their nutritional parameters, i.e.

Purification, molecular docking and in vivo analyses of novel angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory peptides from protein hydrolysate of moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia (Jacq.) Màrechal) seeds.

The moth bean is a high-protein food legume. Enzymatic hydrolysates of food proteins demostrate health benefits. Search for diet related food protein hydrolysates is therefore within the scope of functional foods.

Chickpea Peptide: A Nutraceutical Molecule Corroborating Neurodegenerative and ACE-I Inhibition.

Chickpea seeds are the source of proteins in human nutrition and attribute some nutraceutical properties. Herein, we report the effects of chickpea seed bioactive peptide on albumin, insulin, lactoglobulin and lysozyme amyloid fibril formation. Employing thioflavin T (ThT) assays and circular dichroism (CD), amyloid structural binding transition was experimented to analyze the inhibition of amyloid fibril formation.
