Objective: The study focused the contraceptive efficacy of hydro-ethanolic (60:40) extract (HEE) of Caesalpinia pulcherrima leaves in human and rat sperm samples by in vitro study.
Methods: Six young fertile adult males were selected for semen collection. Sperm samples were collected from six adult rat also by chopping the epididymis along with the collection of testicles, epididymis, and liver.

Objective: The association of long-term hyperuricemia with liver function remains less well understood. This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate the relationship between hyperuricemia and liver function as well as other metabolic and cardiovascular parameters.
Methods: We enrolled 375 participants with hyperuricemia and 599 normouricemic controls.

Introduction: Cadmium (Cd) and polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs), two ubiquitous environmental contaminants, produce unique synergistic toxicity when co-existing. Key unanswered questions include specific effects on liver function and potential mechanisms.
Methods: In this study, C57BL/6 mice and AML12 cells were used to establish and models to elucidate the effects of combined exposure to PS-MPs and Cd on the liver and their mechanisms.

Introduction: , a traditional medicinal plant, is renowned for its therapeutic properties, including the promotion of anti-inflammatory and bile secretion. Notably, it has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of jaundice. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of -derived exosomes (ACDEs) as a novel therapeutic approach in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Ectopic lipid deposition in the hepatocyte plays an important role in the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which has become one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease worldwide yet no approved drugs are currently available. In this study, a cell-based method was developed to screen potential drugs with low toxicity that inhibit lipid accumulation. In the same 96-well plate, cytotoxicity was measured using CCK8 assay, followed by lipid content detection using BODIPY 493/503 via fluorometry assay, a lipid droplet-specific fluorescent dye commonly used in microscopy and flow cytometry, but not previously reported in fluorometry.
