AI Article Synopsis

  • This study investigates how naringin can protect the brain following early brain injury due to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).
  • Naringin was tested on rats using specific doses to assess its effects on brain damage indicators like neurological function, swelling, and blood-brain barrier health.
  • The findings revealed that naringin improved brain injury outcomes by reducing oxidative stress and cell death linked to SAH, highlighting its potential as a treatment for brain protection.

Article Abstract

This study aims to clarify the neuroprotective effect of naringin on early brain injury (EBI) following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and the possible mechanisms of naringin in the treatment of SAH. The endovascular puncture model was performed to induce SAH model in rats and the efficacy of 40mg/kg and 80mg/kg naringin were tested by intraperitoneally administration. SAH grade, neurological score, brain edema, blood-brain barrier permeability, the changes of oxidative stress related factors, apoptosis-related proteins, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway and neuronal morphology were detected to analyze the potential effect of naringin against SAH. The results demonstrated that naringin significantly ameliorated EBI, including SAH severity, neurologic deficits, brain edema and blood-brain barrier integrity by attenuating SAH-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis, and reduced the oxidant damage and apoptosis by inhibiting the activation of MAPK signaling pathway, which suggested a therapeutic potential of naringin in providing neuroprotection after SAH.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder that arises during pregnancy and heightens the risk of placental dysplasia. Ginsenoside Re (Re) may stabilize insulin and glucagon to regulate glucose levels, which may improve diabetes-associated diseases. This study aims to investigate the mechanism of Re in high glucose (HG)-induced apoptosis of trophoblasts through endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related protein CHOP/GADD153.

Sperm motility is the prime functional attribute for semen quality and fertility of the bull. However, the bull's age directly affects the semen quality, and the bull's fertility and productive life decline with age. Even though research on age has been conducted in the past, it is still unclear how old a bull should be maintained at artificial insemination centers.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe inflammatory condition of the respiratory system, associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of tocilizumab (TZ), an IL-6 receptor inhibitor, in mitigating lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ALI by modulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway. An ALI model was established using LPS induction.
