We tested the hypothesis that a 2-month intervention with unopposed oral conjugated equine estrogens (0.625 mg/d) would decrease lipid oxidation, as assessed by 24-hour, whole-room, indirect calorimetry in 14 postmenopausal women. Estrogen (E) treatment was associated with declines in both 24-hour and postprandial lipid oxidation and an increase in fat mass (mean [+/-SD] 2-month difference 1.1 +/- 1.0 kg; mean 6-month difference 1.8 +/- 2.2 kg), suggesting that, on an acute basis, oral E may increase adiposity by limiting lipid oxidation.

Introduction: The grayling ( L.) has several advantages over other fish species that make it attractive for aquaculture and invest it with importance for food security. The study assessed the effects of a β-glucan-enriched diet on biomarkers of oxidative stress, energy metabolism and lysosomal function in muscle tissue of European grayling ( L.

Emberiza buntings (Aves: Emberizidae) exhibit extensive diversity and rapid diversification within the Old World, particularly in the eastern Palearctic, making them valuable models for studying rapid radiation among sympatric species. Despite their ecological and morphological diversity, there remains a significant gap in understanding the genomic underpinnings driving their rapid speciation. To fill this gap, we assembled high-quality chromosome-level genomes of five representative Emberiza species (E.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a type of neurodegenerative disease that describes cognitive decline and memory loss resulting in disability in movement, memory, speech etc. Which first affects the hippocampal and entorhinal cortex regions of brain. Pathogenesis of AD depends on Amyloid-β, hyper-phosphorylation of tau protein, mitochondrial dysfunction, cholinergic hypothesis and oxidative stress.

Ferroptosis is a form of cell death elicited by an imbalance in intracellular iron concentrations, leading to enhanced lipid peroxidation. In neurological disorders, both oxidative stress and mitochondrial damage can contribute to ferroptosis, resulting in nerve cell dysfunction and death. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) refers to a cellular pathway in which specific proteins are tagged with ubiquitin for recognition and degradation by the proteasome.

Preparation and Hypoglycemic Effect of Magnolia Officinalis Polysaccharide Oral Liquid.

Plant Foods Hum Nutr

January 2025

Hubei Key Laboratory of Biologic Resources Protection and Utilization, Hubei Minzu University, Enshi, 445000, P.R. China.

In this paper, an oral liquid containing Magnolia officinalis polysaccharide was formulated and its hypoglycemic effects were investigated. An orthogonal test was conducted based on single-factor experiments to optimize the formulation guided by sensory evaluations. Its stability and safety were also assessed.
