Objective: To study the therapeutic action of Seabuckthorn Fatty Acid on the aged female rats osteoporosis, and explore the corresponding mechanism related in hormone and cytokine.

Methods: The change of bone density (BMD), biomechanics and bone morphology were measured and E2, TGF-beta1, IGF-1 level in plasma were determined respectively for the young female rats, aged female rats (Seabuckthorn Fatty Acid 0.72, 1.8, 4.5 g/kg, E2 0.02 g/kg) after they were administrated corresponding drugs for 45 days.

Results: The bone density (BMD), bone biomechanics, bone morphology for female rats aged 22-months all decreased. The BMD, bone biomechanics, the number of bone trabeculas and cortical thickness in Seabuckthorn Fatty Acid treated groups (1.8 g/kg, 4.5 g/kg) were upgraded (P < 0.05). The TGF-beta1, IGF-1 level in plasma were increased, too (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: Seabuckthorn Fatty Acid can meliorate bone metabolism in post-menopause and heighten the bone density. The adjustment mechanism may be based on the function of estrogen and cell cytokine.

Lymphangiomas with the presence of erythrocytes in mesenteric lymph nodes of Wistar Hannover rats.

J Toxicol Pathol

January 2025

Pathology Department, Kashima Laboratories, Non-clinical Business Segment, Mediford Corporation, Kamisu-shi, Ibaraki 314-0255, Japan.

We performed morphological and immunohistochemical analyses of erythrocyte-rich vascular proliferative lesions of mesenteric lymph nodes in six male and one female Wistar Hannover rats. These lesions are conventionally diagnosed as hemangiomas due to abundant erythrocytes. Immunostaining was positive for prospero-related homeobox 1 (Prox-1) and/or vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3) in all lesions, suggesting a lymphangitic origin.

Introduction: Access to electric light has exposed living organisms to varying intensities of light throughout the 24 h day. Dim light at night (DLAN) is an inappropriate signal for the biological clock, which is responsible for the circadian organization of physiology. During the gestational period, physiological adaptations occur to ensure a successful pregnancy and optimal fetal development.

Significance: Women are at increased risk for mood disorders, which may be partly attributed to exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) during sensitive periods such as pregnancy. Exposure during these times can impact brain development in the offspring, potentially leading to mood disorders in later life. Additionally, fluctuating levels of endogenous estrogens, as seen during pregnancy, or the use of oral contraceptives, can further elevate this risk.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the possible mechanism through which acupuncture protects ovaries with Poor Ovarian Response (POR) in rats based on microRNA (miRNA).

Methods: Thirty-six SPF SD female non-pregnant rats aged 8 weeks were randomly divided into the blank group, model group, and acupuncture group, with 12 rats in each group. According to the group, the rats were given gavage of Tripterygium wilfordii polyglycosides suspension for 14 days to establish the model of POR, and then the rats were treated with acupuncture for 2 weeks, once a day, for 20 minutes.

The First Affiliated Hospital, Gynecology&Obstetrics and Reproductive Medical Center, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, Hengyang, Hunan, 421001, China.

Objective: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrinopathy in reproductive-aged women, contributing to 75% of infertility cases due to ovulatory dysfunction. The condition poses significant health and psychological challenges, making the study of its pathogenesis and treatment a research priority. This study investigates the effects of Mogroside V (MV) on PCOS, focusing on its anti-inflammatory and anti-insulin resistance properties.
