We have previously shown that conjugated linolenic acids (CLnA) prepared by alkaline isomerization have a stronger antitumor effect than conjugated linoleic acids (CLA). In this study we have compared the suppressive effect on tumor growth of alpha-eleostearic acid (alpha-ESA, 9Z11E13E-18:3) with those of the CLA isomers 9Z11E-CLA and 10E12Z-CLA, using nude mice into which DLD-1 human colon cancer cells were transplanted. The results showed that alpha-ESA, which is a CLnA that can be prepared from natural sources in bulk, had a stronger antitumor effect than CLA. DNA fragmentation was enhanced and lipid peroxidation was increased in tumor tissues of the alpha-ESA-fed mice, which suggested that alpha-ESA induced apoptosis via lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, treatment of DLD-1 cells with alpha-ESA, 9Z11E-CLA and 10E12Z-CLA confirmed that alpha-ESA had a stronger antitumor effect than CLA in cultured cell lines. The induction of apoptosis by alpha-ESA was consistent with enhanced DNA fragmentation, increased caspase activity and increased expression of caspase mRNA following alpha-ESA treatment. Addition of alpha-tocopherol, an antioxidant, suppressed oxidative stress and apoptosis, suggesting that these effects were associated with lipid peroxidation.

Global warming causes the release of dioxin-like deposits and increases geographical migration, increasing the risk of exposure for humans and animals. In this experiment, we used CYP1A transgenic zebrafish Tg (cyp1a: mCherry) and liver fluorescent transgenic zebrafish Tg (fabp10: Ps Red) as an animal model and exposed to 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-Dioxin (TCDD) at 26 °C and 30 °C, respectively. Morphological changes, histological changes, transcriptome and related genes expression were detected.

Salinity stress poses a significant threat to crop production due to rapid soil salinization as a consequence of climate change. Brinjal, a vital and resilient vegetable crop with extensive genetic variation, exhibits a diverse range of salt tolerance responses. Salt-tolerant and susceptible brinjal genotypes were assessed for their differential tolerance mechanisms under 8 dS m salinity.

Alcoholic fatty liver (AFL) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases globally with complex and controversial pathogenesis. Recent evidence suggests that iron overload and lipid peroxidation are risk factors for AFL. Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is an important signal platform that can maintain lipid homeostasis during the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver.

Acrylamide (ACR) is a toxic compound formed during the heating of tobacco and starchy foods, contributing to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and significant health risks. This study evaluates the protective effects of gallic acid (GA), a natural polyphenol with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, against ACR-induced lung injury. Fifty male rats were divided into five groups: Control, ACR, GA50 + ACR, GA100 + ACR, and GA100.

Due to the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME), current tumor treatments cannot achieve satisfactory results. A nanocomposite material, UCNPs@PVP-Hemin-GOx@CaCO (UPHGC NPs) is developed that responds to the TME and controls release to achieve multimodal synergistic therapy in tumor tissues. UPHGC NPs mediate photodynamic therapy (PDT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and starvation therapy (ST) synergistically, ultimately inducing self-amplification of ferroptosis.
