Article Synopsis
- Chimonanthus nitens Oliv. is a traditional Chinese medicine known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but its effects on sepsis-related intestinal injury are not well studied.
- The study investigates the essential oil from C. nitens Oliv. (CEO) for its therapeutic potential in treating acute intestinal injury caused by sepsis, focusing on its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in septic rat models.
- Results show that CEO significantly reduces inflammatory markers and oxidative stress responses in the intestines, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent, especially in conjunction with MFN2 knockdown, which enhances CEO's protective effects.

Article Synopsis
- The study tested how a compound called EGCG affects energy use and cell health in mice with kidney damage caused by a drug called doxorubicin (DOX).
- Mice were split into different groups to see how EGCG alone or with DOX helped reduce kidney problems and harmful substances in the blood.
- The results showed that EGCG improved kidney health by lowering damage and changing how energy was made in cells, which could mean it might help protect against kidney injury in humans too.
