Effects of Multi-Component Exercise on Sleep Quality in Middle-Aged Adults.

Sleep is a crucial factor in healthy aging. However, most middle-aged adults experience high levels of sleep disorders. While previous findings have suggested exercise training could benefit the quality of sleep, the effects of multi-component exercise on sleep quality are less examined.

Neospora caninum infection activated autophagy of caprine endometrial epithelial cells via mTOR signaling.

Neosporosis, caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Neospora caninum, is one of the main causes of abortion in cattle and small ruminants (e.g., goats), negatively influencing animal health and production costs.

Diagnostic Value of Circulating Antigens in the Serum of Piglets with Experimental Acute Toxoplasmosis.

Toxoplasmosis, caused by , an apicomplexan parasite, infects all warm-blooded animals, including a third of the human population. Laboratory diagnosis of acute toxoplasmosis is based on the detection of anti- IgM and IgG and nucleic acid; however, these assays have certain limitations. Circulating Ags (CAgs) are reliable diagnostic indicators of acute infection.

Genome-Wide CRISPR/Cas9 Screen Identifies New Genes Critical for Defense Against Oxidant Stress in .

is one of the most widespread apicomplexans and can cause serious infections in humans and animals. Its antioxidant system plays an important role in defending against oxidant stress imposed by the host. Some genes encoding the antioxidant enzymes of have been identified; however, critical genes that function in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) stress are still poorly understood.

Salidroside-Mitigated Inflammatory Injury of Hepatocytes with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease via Inhibition TRPM2 Ion Channel Activation.

Purpose: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). TRPM2 ion channel functions as a molecular sensor for oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to examine the protective effects of Salidroside, a powerful antioxidative plant, on TRPM2 in an established in vitro model of NAFLD.
