Maternal N-acetylcysteine supplementation in lactation ameliorates metabolic and cognitive deficits in adult offspring exposed to maternal obesity.

Maternal obesity in pregnancy and lactation is linked to metabolic disturbances and neurodevelopmental problems in offspring, increasing the risk of psychiatric disorders in adulthood. We proposed that maternal N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) supplementation during lactation, a critical period for neurodevelopment, potentially protects offspring from developing cognitive impairment in adulthood. Fifteen young female ICR mice were randomly allocated to different experimental groups: high-fat diet (HFD; 60.

Investigation renin inhibitor activity from flavonoids derivates by study.

Flavonoids have various pharmacological activities, such as antihypertensive, anticancer, and and antidiabetic effects. Several studies have shown that luteolin, quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, naringenin, hesperetin, and epicatechin have antihypertensive effects, but the mechanism of action has yet to be discovered with certainty. This study aims to identify flavonoids from luteolin, quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, naringenin, hesperetin, and epicatechin as renin inhibitors through study; seven flavonoid compounds were docked with 2V0Z with renin inhibitor (Aliskiren) in humans (Homo sapiens 6 LU7) using AutoDock v4.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors activity from purified compounds Fructus Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff) Boerl.

Background: Mahkota Dewa [Phaleria macrocarpa (Scheff) Boerl.] fruit in vitro and in- vivo can decrease and prevent elevation of the blood pressure, lower plasma glucose levels, possess an antioxidant effect, and recover liver and kidney damage in rats. This study aimed to determine the structure and inhibitory activity of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE) from the Mahkota Dewa fruit.
