Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Volgograd State Medical University, Volgograd, Russian Federation.
Background: Closely related to the subfamily of proapoptotic proteins is the antiapoptotic protein bcl-2, which acts as an intracellular blocker of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. By inhibiting the action of effector caspases, as well as blocking the release of AIF and cytochrome C, Bcl-2 prevents regulated cell death and ensures survival in conditions of damage.
Method: The study was performed on Wistar rats, which were subjected to gravitational overloads (9g) in the caudocranial vector for 5 minutes twice a day for 28 days.

Background: Aging and the decline in sex steroid hormone (e.g., estrogen) are associated with a potential loss of its neuroprotective effects on the female brain.

Parkinson's disease (PD) and insomnia are prevalent neurological disorders, with emerging evidence implicating tryptophan (TRP) metabolism in their pathogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms by which TRP metabolism contributes to these conditions remain insufficiently elucidated. This study explores shared tryptophan metabolism-related genes (TMRGs) and molecular mechanisms underlying PD and insomnia, aiming to provide insights into their shared pathogenesis.

Enzymatically formed side-chain oxysterols function as signaling molecules regulating cholesterol homeostasis and act as intermediates in the biosynthesis of bile acids. In addition to these physiological functions, an imbalance in oxysterol homeostasis has been implicated in pathophysiology. Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H) and its product 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-OHC), also formed by autoxidation, are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Objective: To observe the effects of the "Zhibian" (BL54)-toward-"Shuidao" (ST28) acupuncture on key regulatory factors during mitochondrial apoptosis of testicular tissue in asthenozoospermia mice, and explore the potential mechanism of the protective effect of acupuncture on reproductive function.
Methods: Thirty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group and an acupuncture group, 10 mice in each group. In the model and the acupuncture groups, the intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (30 mg•kg•d) was delivered for 7 days to prepare the asthenozoospermia model.
