AMP-activated protein kinase mediates (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) to promote lipid synthesis in mastitis cows.

Mastitis, a serious threat to the health and milk production function of dairy cows decreases milk quality. Blood from three healthy cows and three mastitis cows were collected in this study and their transcriptome was sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened according to the |log2FoldChange| > 1 and -value < 0.

The impact of direct-acting antivirals on quality of life in patients with hepatitis C virus infection: a meta-analysis.

Introduction And Objectives: It is well known that the quality of life (QoL) of patients with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) is lower than that of the general population and that therapy with direct-acting antivirals (DAA) for HCV is safe and effective. However, data on the QoL of patients are scanty. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of DAA drugs on patients' QoL.

Green Tea Polyphenols Alleviate Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis in Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells by Activating ERK1/2-NFE2L2-HMOX1 Pathways.

Oxidative stress (OS) is one of the main limiting factors affecting the length of lactation and milk quality in dairy cows. For high-producing dairy cows, the OS of mammary glands is a serious problem. Green tea polyphenols (GTP), found mainly in tea, are a combination of many phenols.
