Background: Atorvastatin (ATO) is an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor used to lower blood cholesterol, but it causes renal injury in high doses. Thymoquinone (TQ), is a natural antioxidant that has been shown to protect the kidney through its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, & antiapoptotic, effects.
Objective: The current study aimed to investigate whether posttreatment TQ could reverse ATOinduced renal injury, and the possible mechanism of action by which TQ produced such an effect.

Objectives: To investigate the natural product sulforaphane (SFN) in protection of membranous nephropathy (MN) by inhibiting oxidative stress-associated podocyte pyroptosis.
Materials And Methods: A passive Heymann nephritis (PHN) model was established and treated with SFN. Clinical manifestations were examined by testing 24-hr urine protein, albumin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density and low-density lipoprotein levels.

The motility of sperm decreases following cryopreservation, which is closely associated with mitochondrial function. However, the alterations in mitochondrial metabolism after sperm freezing in goats remain unclear. This experiment aimed to investigate the impact of ultra-low temperature freezing on goat sperm's mitochondrial energy metabolism and its potential correlation with sperm motility.

Purpose: To elucidate the mechanical properties of the bovine lens cortical membrane (CM), the nuclear membrane (NM) containing cholesterol bilayer domains (CBDs), and whole bovine lenses.
Methods: The total lipids (lipids plus cholesterol) from the cortex and nucleus of a single bovine lens were isolated using the monophasic methanol extraction method. Supported CMs and NMs were prepared from total lipids extracted from the cortex and nucleus, respectively, using a rapid solvent exchange method and probe-tip sonication, followed by the fusion of unilamellar vesicles on a flat, freshly cleaved mica surface.

The liver plays a crucial role in regulating lipid metabolism. Our study examined the impact of Exosomes derived from adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs-Exo) on lipid metabolism following liver ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) combined with partial hepatectomy. We developed a miniature swine model for a minimally invasive hemi-hepatectomy combined with liver IRI.
