Gypenoside XLIX alleviates intestinal injury by inhibiting sepsis-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy.

Intestinal barrier dysfunction is a significant complication induced by sepsis, yet therapeutic strategies targeting such dysfunction remain inadequate. This study investigates the protective effects of Gypenoside XLIX (Gyp XLIX) against intestinal damage induced by sepsis. Septic intestinal injury in mice was induced by cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) surgery.

Gypenoside XLIX Activates the Sirt1/Nrf2 Signaling Pathway to Inhibit NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation to Alleviate Septic Acute Lung Injury.

Currently, treatment options for acute lung injury (ALI) are limited. Gypenoside XLIX (Gyp-XLIX) is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, but there is a lack of extensive research on its effects against ALI. This study induced ALI in mice through cecal ligation and puncture surgery and investigated the biological activity and potential mechanisms of Gypenoside XLIX (40 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection.

Gypenoside XLIX alleviates acute liver injury: Emphasis on NF-κB/PPAR-α/NLRP3 pathways.

Liver is one of the vital organs in the human body and liver injury will have a very serious impact on human damage. Gypenoside XLIX is a PPAR-α activator that inhibits the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway. The components of XLIX have pharmacological effects such as cardiovascular protection, antihypoxia, anti-tumor and anti-aging.

Heterogeneity in warm-season land-atmosphere coupling over the U.S. Southern Great Plains.

Heterogeneity in warm-season (May-August) land-atmosphere (LA) coupling is quantified with the long-time, multiple-station measurements from the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program and the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite remote sensing at the Southern Great Plains (SGP).

Relationships between radiation, clouds, and convection during DYNAMO.

The relationships between radiation, clouds, and convection on an intraseasonal time scale are examined with data taken during the Dynamics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) field campaign. Specifically, column-net, as well as vertical profiles of radiative heating rates, computed over Gan Island in the central Indian Ocean (IO) are used along with an objective analysis of large-scale fields to examine three MJO events that occurred during the 3 month period (October to December 2011) over this region. Longwave (LW) and shortwave radiative heating rates exhibit tilted structures, reflecting radiative effects associated with the prevalence of shallow cumulus during the dry, suppressed MJO phase followed by increasing deep convection leading into the active phase.
