Objective: To study the factors that affect mucosal absorption of gardenia extract.
Method: Take vitro frog skin as a model to study the vitro mucosal permeation. The impacts of the osmotic pressure and the pH value of permeation medium on the Papp of the Jasminoidin were studied, and the effect of frog skin on the stability of Jasminoidin was investigated also.
Result: The Papp of Jasminoidin were (0.53 +/- 0.01), (0.21 +/- 0.05), (0.44 +/- 0.12), (0.42 +/- 0.13), (0.26 +/- 0.03) cm x min(-1) by using the normal saline (pH 6.88), pure water, 1.8 % NaCl solution, normal saline (pH 4.05) and normal saline (pH 10.05) as permeation medium for each. The accumulated permeation rate was (55.69 +/- 9.81)% by 12 h, using normal saline as permeation medium respectively, and there was no obvious time lag. Jasminoidin began to degrade around 8 h by affectedof frog skin, the constant of degradation rate (K) was 1.999, and the t1/2 was 0.347 h.
Conclusion: The mucosal permeability of gardenia extract by using the vitro model of frog skin is good, and consistent with zero level absorption process. The osmotic pressure and pH value significantly affected the permeation and the isotonic and partial neutral permeation medium are more conducive to the permeation and absorption of Jasminoidin. The degradation effect of frog skin to the Jasminoidin will not affect mucosal permeation research. In vitro model of frog skin is a suitable way to simulate mucosal permeation process of the gardenia extract.

Circadian regulation of skin pigmentation is essential for thermoregulation, ultraviolet (UV) protection, and synchronization of skin cell renewal. This regulation involves both cell-autonomous photic responses and non-cell-autonomous hormonal control, particularly through melatonin produced in a light-sensitive manner. Photosensitive opsins, cryptochromes, and melatonin regulate circadian rhythms in skin pigment cells.

Pathogens that infect multiple host species have an increased capacity to cause extinctions through parasite-mediated apparent competition. Given unprecedented and continuing losses of biodiversity due to Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), the causative fungus of the amphibian skin disease chytridiomycosis, a robust understanding of the mechanisms driving cross-species infection dynamics is essential. Here, we used stage-structured, susceptible-infected compartmental models to explore drivers of Bd-mediated apparent competition between two sympatric amphibians, the critically endangered Litoria spenceri and the non-threatened Litoria lesueurii.

Amphibian skin is a rich source of molecules with biotechnological potential, including the tryptophyllin family of peptides. Here, we report the identification and characterization of two tryptophyllin peptides, FPPEWISR and FPWLLS-NH, from the skin of the Central Dwarf Frog, Physalaemus centralis. These peptides were identified through cDNA cloning and sequence comparison.

This study investigated the effects of a novel bombesin-related peptide (BR-b), derived from the skin of the Chaco tree frog (Boana raniceps), on glucose homeostasis in non-obese and hypothalamic-obese male rats. Hypothalamic obesity was induced in neonatal rats through high-dose administration of monosodium glutamate (MSG; 4 g/kg), while control animals (CTL) received an equimolar saline solution. At 70 days of age, both MSG and CTL groups underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT; 2 g/kg) with or without prior intraperitoneal administration of BR-b at doses of 0.
