Changes of G-6-PDH activity was studied in the human placental tissue during various stages of gestation. Enzyme activity diminished progressively at the end of pregnancy. Our observation indicated that the G-6-PDH activity of placental tissue is highest in the term pregnancy as activity in other tissues.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on *Ying*, an endangered medicinal herb whose seeds require cold stratification to break dormancy and germinate, yet the molecular processes behind this are not fully understood.
- Researchers used transcriptomic and metabolomic techniques to analyze seed changes during different stratification stages, identifying significant shifts in properties and enzyme activities.
- The findings revealed 37 plant hormone metabolites and 65,372 differentially expressed genes, highlighting complex interactions between hormones, which could aid breeding and cultivation efforts for this valuable plant.

Freshly harvested contains high water content with an unprotected outer surface and exhibits high respiration rates, which renders it prone to moisture and nutrient loss, leading to decay during storage. Our research utilized ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL) and chitosan as a composite coating preservative on fresh . The findings revealed that the ε-PL + chitosan composite coating preservative effectively delayed the development of diseases and reduced weight loss during storage compared to the control group.

Background: Despite widespread concerns about its possible side effects, notably on the prefrontal cortex (PFC), which mediates cognitive processes, the use of as a medicinal and recreational drug is expanding exponentially. This study evaluated possible behavioral alterations, neurotransmitter levels, histological, and immunohistochemical changes in the PFC of Wistar rats exposed to .
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of graded doses of on the PFC using behavioural, histological, and immunohistochemical approaches.
Methodological and physiological study of seed dormancy release in Tilia henryana.

Article Synopsis
- Tilia henryana is a rare tree found only in China, and its seeds struggle to grow because they're really good at staying dormant.
- Scientists figured out a special method to help the seeds wake up and grow, which involves treating them with certain chemicals and keeping them cold for a while.
- During this process, the seeds use a lot of fat for energy, and the levels of different nutrients and hormones in the seeds change to help them germinate better.
