D-004 is a lipid extract of royal palm (Rosytonea regia) fruits that prevents prostate hyperplasia induced with testosterone in rodents. Previous studies have shown no D-004-related toxicity in rats, but no study in mice had been reported. D-004 (500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg) was evaluated in a subchronic (eight weeks) study in NMRI mice. No evidences of treatment-related toxicity were detected. Thus, body-weight gain, clinical observations, food consumption, blood biochemical, hematology, organ-weight ratios, and histopathological findings were similar in control and treated groups. This study supports that D-004 orally administered up to 2000 mg/kg did not induce treatment-related toxicity.

The study investigates the effect of dietary herbal mixture (HM) levels on growing New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits' performance, carcass characteristics, blood biochemicals, and microbiological characteristics from 5 to 13 weeks of age. In this study, 96 New Zealand White rabbits (male and female ratio 1:1) were used, and they were five weeks old. The rabbits were at random allocated into four experimental groups (n = 24 each) comprising 12 replicates, each with two rabbits.

Wastewater and livestock waste can be used as a cheap source of nutrients for microalgae growth. In this work, a cocktail waste medium (CWM) was developed using 75% Chhalera municipal wastewater (C-MWW), 25% Parag dairy wastewater (P-DWW), and 15 g L of poultry litter extract (PLE-15) for low-cost cultivation of Chlorella sp.

Purpose: Cardiac inflammation is a basic pathological process of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Inflammatory response is closely related to pyroptosis, which is a recently identified programmed cell death type. Curcumin (CUR) is a polyphenol extracted from turmeric and has been reported to be crucial in alleviating pyroptosis in DCM.

The consumer demand for functional foods derived from natural sources has been enhanced due to health-promoting effects. Algae are widely available globally as a sustainable source of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. Algal lipids are underexplored natural sources that exhibit several nutraceutical effects and applications in fortification, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Amid the three common allelic variants of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene in humans, called APOE ε2, ε3 and ε4, the ε4 allele is the most common genetic risk factor for late-onset AD, being found in 20% of the world population.
Method: We used Event-Related Potentials (ERP) and Event-Related Spectral Perturbation (ERSP) as features for classification of apolipoprotein E ϵ4 (APOE ε4) allele carriers in AD patients and healthy controls.
