Mice become highly susceptible to audiogenic seizures (AGS) after being exposed to intense, high-frequency noise during a critical period of early life (priming). To determine the critical site for AGS priming in the auditory brainstem, animals in the experimental group were primed at 21 days, and the tone-induced Fos immunoreactivity was examined 1, 7, and 14 days after priming as an index of excitability of neurons. Enhanced Fos immunoreactivity was observed in the inferior colliculus (IC) of the primed mice 7 and 14 days after priming as compared to that of non-primed mice and attenuated Fos expression was observed 1 day after priming. No significant elevation of Fos expression was observed in the cochlear nucleus and the deep layer of the superior colliculus of either type of mice. These results strongly suggest that the IC is the target site of AGS priming.

Purifying membrane proteins has been the limiting step for studying their structure and function. The challenges of the process include the low expression levels in heterologous systems and the requirement for their biochemical stabilization in solution. The human voltage-gated proton channel (hH1) is a good example of that: the published protocols to express and purify hH1 produce low protein quantities at high costs, which is an issue for systematically characterizing its structure and function.

A fucoidan oligosaccharide (FOS), a potent compound derived from algae, is known for its diverse biological activities, including prebiotic activity, anticancer activity, and antioxidative properties, and has demonstrated supportive therapeutic effects in treating kidney ailments. This study was conducted to explore the protective influence of FOS on kidney damage due to aging induced by D-galactose in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats. The low-dose FOS group was administered FOS (100 mg/kg) by gavage, and the high-FOS group received FOS (200 mg/kg) by gavage.

The ability to reproduce depends on metabolic status. In rodents, the ventral premammillary nucleus (PMv) integrates metabolic and reproductive signals. While leptin (adiposity-related) signaling in the PMv is critical for female fertility, male reproductive functions are strongly influenced by glucose homeostasis.

The rising global focus on healthy lifestyles and environmental sustainability has prompted interest in repurposing plant-based by-products for health benefits. With increasing life expectancy, the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases-characterized by complex, multifactorial mechanisms such as abnormal protein aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation-continues to grow. Medicinal plants, with their diverse bioactive compounds, offer promising therapeutic avenues for such conditions.
