Effect of genistein supplementation on microenvironment regulation of breast tumors in obese mice.

Obesity is an important risk factor for breast cancer in women before and after menopause. Adipocytes, key mediators in the tumor microenvironment, play a pivotal role in the relationship between obesity with cancer. However, the potential of dietary components in modulating this relationship remains underexplored.

Selenium deficiency causes oxidative stress and activates inflammation, apoptosis, and necroptosis in the intestine of weaned calves.

Selenium performs a variety of biological functions in organisms, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This study investigated how selenium deficiency affects weaned calves' intestines. According to Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis of intestinal selenium concentrations in calves, the Se-D group had a significantly lower concentration of selenium.

Oxidative Stress Induced by Selenium Deficiency Contributes to Inflammation, Apoptosis and Necroptosis in the Lungs of Calves.

Selenium is an essential trace element for health that can only be obtained through food. However, the pathological processes of selenium deficiency in cattle have received little attention. This study investigated the effects of selenium deficiency on oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and necroptosis in the lungs of weaning calves compared with healthy calves as controls.

Sodium Humate-Derived Gut Microbiota Ameliorates Intestinal Dysfunction Induced by Typhimurium in Mice.

is a foodborne pathogen that is one of the main causes of gastroenteric disease in humans and animals. As a natural organic substance, sodium humate (HNa) possesses antibacterial, antidiarrheal, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, it is unclear whether the HNa and HNa-derived microbiota exert alleviative effects on Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium-induced enteritis.

Selenium Deficiency-Induced Oxidative Stress Causes Myocardial Injury in Calves by Activating Inflammation, Apoptosis, and Necroptosis.

Selenium (Se) is essential for human and animal health, but there have been few studies on the mechanisms of injury in dairy cows with Se deficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Se deficiency on myocardial injury in weaned calves. The Se-D group had significantly lower myocardial Se concentrations than the Se-C group.

Dioscin Protects against Cisplatin-Induced Acute Kidney Injury by Reducing Ferroptosis and Apoptosis through Activating Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome with high morbidity and mortality worldwide, and there is currently no effective means to prevent it. Dioscin is naturally present in the dioscoreaceae plants and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we found that dioscin is protective against cisplatin-induced AKI.

Comparative study of subcutaneous, intramuscular, and oral administration of bovine pathogenic bacterial ghost vaccine in mice.

is one of the most common bacterial pathogens in cattle. Prophylactic vaccines are considered promising strategies with the potential to reduce the incidence of colibacillosis. Some studies suggested that bacterial ghosts may serve as a novel approach for preventing bacterial infections.

Troxerutin alleviates kidney injury in rats via PI3K/AKT pathway by enhancing MAP4 expression.

Background: Troxerutin is a flavonoid compound and possesses potential anti-cancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities. Besides, cisplatin is one of the most widely used therapeutic agents, but the clinical uses of cisplatin are often associated with multiple side effects, among which nephrotoxicity is more common.

Objective And Design: This study explored the protective effects of troxerutin (150 mg kg day for 14 days) against cisplatin-induced kidney injury and the potential mechanism using Wistar rats as an experimental mammalian model.
