Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore how oxhorn cupping therapy (OHCT) impacts rheumatoid arthritis by analyzing proteins in the body fluid collected from patients after treatment.
  • Thirty patients underwent OHCT, and researchers isolated and examined exosomes from the fluid to identify changes in protein expression, revealing 300 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs).
  • Key pathways and genes associated with the treatment effects were identified, particularly related to signal transduction, with a notable shift in certain protein levels during and after treatment.
  • Overall, the findings suggest that OHCT may have therapeutic effects on rheumatoid arthritis by altering exosomal proteins and pathways involved in the disease.

Oxidative stress significantly contributes to ageing and disease, with antioxidants holding promise in mitigating its effects. Functional foods rich in flavonoids offer a potential strategy to mitigate oxidative damage by free radicals. We investigated the protective effects of mulberry leaf flavonoids (MLF) against HO-induced oxidative damage in HepG2 cells.

In order to find an efficient way for broccoli to increase the phenolic content, this study intended primarily to elucidate the effect of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment on the phenolic accumulation in broccoli. The optimum concentration of MeJA was studied first, and 10 μM MeJA was chosen as the most effective concentration to improve the phenolic content in wounded broccoli. Furthermore, in order to elucidate the effect of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment on phenolic biosynthesis in broccoli, the key enzyme activities of phenylpropanoid metabolism, the total phenolic content (TPC), individual phenolic compounds (PC), antioxidant activity (AOX) and antioxidant metabolism-associated enzyme activities were investigated.
