We have monitored global changes in gene expression in mouse liver in response to fasting and sugar-fed conditions using high-density microarrays. From approximately 20,000 different genes, the significantly regulated ones were grouped into specific signaling and metabolic pathways. Striking changes in lipid signaling cascade, insulin and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) hormonal pathways, urea cycle and S-adenosylmethionine-based methyl transfer systems, and cell apoptosis regulators were observed. Since these pathways have been implicated to play a role in the aging process, and since we observe significant overlap of genes regulated upon starvation with those regulated upon caloric restriction, our analysis suggests that starvation may elicit a stress response that is also elicited during caloric restriction. Therefore, many of the signaling and metabolic components regulated during fasting may be the same as those which mediate caloric restriction-dependent life-span extension.

Background: polysaccharides (BSP) have antioxidant, immune regulation, and anti-fibrotic activities. However, the therapeutic effect and mechanisms underlying the action of BSP in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) have not been fully understood.
Aim: To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of BSP on MASLD by centering on the hepatocyte nuclear factor kappa B p65 (RelA)/hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha (HNF1α) signaling.

Liver cancer remains a significant global health challenge, characterized by high incidence and mortality rates. Despite advancements in medical treatments, the prognosis for liver cancer patients remains poor, highlighting the urgent need for novel therapeutic approaches. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), particularly (CB), has shown promise in addressing this need due to its multi-target therapeutic mechanisms.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a highly prevalent liver pathology in need of novel pharmacological treatments to complement lifestyle-based interventions. Nuclear receptor agonists have been under scrutiny as potential pharmacological targets and as of today, resmetirom, a thyroid hormone receptor b agonist, is the only approved agent. The dual PPAR α and δ agonist elafibranor has also undergone extensive clinical testing, which reached the phase III clinical trial but failed to demonstrate a beneficial effect on MASLD.

Introduction: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a cyclical mood disorder that severely affects the daily life of women of reproductive age. Most of the medications being used clinically have limitations such as low efficacy, side effects, and high cost, so there is an urgent need to discover safer and more effective medications. Rutin is a natural flavonol glycoside with various pharmacological properties including antidepressant.
