Previous studies using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes suggest the black-tailed brush lizard, Urosaurus nigricaudus, which is a small-sized lizard from the peninsula of Baja California, Mexico, has 4 deeply isolated mtDNA lineages with sequence divergence ranging from 4% to 11.2%. We present its complete mitochondrial genome. This genome is 17,298 bp long and comprises 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, 13 protein-coding genes, 1 L-strand origin of replication and 1 control region. The overall nucleotide content is A = 34.2%; C = 26.8%; G = 13.5%; T = 25.5%. The gene organization and features agree with the general vertebrate organization and that found in other lizards. The control region is 1909 bp long and is located between tRNA and tRNA.

Although the importance of magnesium for overall health and physiological function is well established, its influence on exercise performance is less clear. The primary study objective was to determine the influence of short-term magnesium supplementation on cycle ergometer exercise performance. The hypothesis was that magnesium would elicit an ergogenic effect.

This study investigates the effects of astaxanthin on oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and follicular development in mouse preantral follicles, with a focus on the involvement of the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway. Astaxanthin (2.5 nM) significantly enhanced both the antrum formation (from 85.

Cocaine use is a rising global concern, and increased use is accompanied by a significant increase in people entering treatment for the first time. However, there are still no complete therapies, and preclinical tools are necessary to both understand the action of cocaine and mitigate for its effects. Cocaine exposure rapidly impacts cellular and mitochondrial health, leading to oxidative stress.

Although peptides have been shown to have biological functions in neurodegenerative diseases, their role in Parkinson's disease has been understudied. A previous study by our group, which used a 6-hydroxydopamine zebrafish model, suggested that nine intracellular peptides may play a part in this condition. In this context, our aim is to better understand the role of five of these nine peptides.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of aspirin eugenol ester (AEE) on growth performance, oxidative liver damage, inflammation, and liver metabolomics in broilers under high-stocking-density (HSD) stress. A total of 360 broilers were divided into four groups: normal density (ND, 14/m), high density (HD, 22/m), ND-AEE (ND + 0.01% AEE), and HD-AEE (HD + 0.
