Objective: To study the effect of Dapagliflozin on ferroptosis in rabbits with chronic heart failure and to reveal its possible mechanism.
Methods: Nine healthy adult male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into Sham group (only thorax opening was performed in Sham group, no ascending aorta circumferential ligation was performed), Heart failure group (HF group, ascending aorta circumferential ligation was performed in HF group to establish the animal model of heart failure), and Dapagliflozin group (DAPA group, after the rabbit chronic heart failure model was successfully made in DAPA group). Dapagliflozin was given by force-feeding method.

Stress is linked to oxidative imbalance, neuroendocrine system malfunction, and cognitive dysfunction. It is a recognized cause of neuropsychiatric diseases. Natural flavonoid apigenin (API) has neuroprotective and antidepressant properties, but little is known about its potential in restoring memory function under stress-related circumstances.

Previous studies have shown that the Phlegm-Eliminating and Stasis- Transforming Decoction (Huayu Qutan Decoction, HYQTD) has mitochondrial protective function. The objective of this research was to explore how HYQTD drug-containing serum (HYQTD-DS) could potentially protect mitochondrial energy production in endothelial cells (ECs) from injury caused by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage in AS through SIRT1/PGC-1α/ Nrf2 pathway.

Background: The hypobaric hypoxic atmosphere can cause adverse reactions or sickness. The purpose of this study was to explore the preventive effect and mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) on acute pathological injury in mice exposed to high-altitude.
Methods: We pretreated C57BL/6 mice with hUC-MSCs via the tail vein injection, and then the mice were subjected to hypobaric hypoxic conditions for five days.

Scopoleitin (SP), a bioactive compound from many edible plants and fruits, exerts a wide range of biological activities, however the role and mechanism of SP in acetaminophen (APAP)-induced hepatotoxicity remains unclear. In this study, we verified the protective effect of SP on APAP-induced liver injury (AILI) hepatotoxicity and explore the underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, we showed that SP alleviated AILI by reducing serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, hepatic histopathological damage, inflammation, and liver cell apoptosis.
