The biosynthesis of proteins, ribosomal RNA and other components of the rat liver protein-synthesizing system during the reparation and subsequent activation of translation inhibited by a sublethal dose cycloheximide (CHI, 3 mg/kg) was studied. It was found that the incorporation of labeled precursors into proteins and ribosomal rRNA isolated from free and membrane-bound polysomes is repaired already 3 hours after CHI injection. 6-9 hours thereafter, the level of component labeling reaches control values, whereas the total protein biosynthesis is retarded. After 12-24 hours, marked stimulation of ribosome biosynthesis and the integration of ribosomes into polysomes are observed together with an asymmetric accumulation of excessive amounts of newly synthesized 40S subunits into polysomes 12 hours after CHI infection. The putative mechanisms of the activation of expression of the part of the genome responsible for protein and ribosomal rRNA synthesis as well as for the synthesis of other components of the protein-synthesizing system are discussed.

Managing uncontrolled and noncompressible bleeding presents a major challenge in emergency trauma care. Methods to halt bleeding quickly and efficiently, without applying direct pressure on the wound, have become a key focus of research. Herein, a novel fructose-modified chitosan/gelatin composite sponge has been developed, exhibiting high elasticity, low rebound pressure, and excellent cell compatibility.

The aim of the work was to evaluate the in vivo effect of triterpene alcohol betulin Roth isolated from the bark of birch Betula pendula Roth. added to fat-containing products (for example, mayonnaise) on the biochemical parameters of blood and the morphological structure of the liver of rats with initiated acute toxic hepatitis.

Sarcopenia and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are complications of chronic liver disease (CLD), which negatively impact clinical outcomes. Hyperammonemia is considered to be the central component in the pathogenesis of HE, however ammonia's toxic effects have also been shown to impinge on extracerebral organs including the muscle. Our aim was to investigate the effect of attenuating hyperammonemia with ornithine phenylacetate (OP) on muscle mass loss and associated molecular mechanisms in rats with CLD.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an intricate disease correlated with many metabolic deregulations, including disordered glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular apoptosis due to hepatic gluconeogenesis aberrations. However, there is no radical therapy to inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis disturbances yet. We thus sought to probe the effectiveness and uncover the potential mechanism of quercetin (QCT) and silk sericin (SS) in mitigating hyperglycemia-induced hepatic gluconeogenesis disorder, which remains obscure.

Seaweeds have been utilized as food, fodder, fertilizer, and medicine since ancient times; nevertheless, they have received only a little attention. In the current work, we extracted the sulfated polysaccharide from a marine source and investigated its anti-arthritic potential . The isolated and freeze-dried polysaccharide was tested for acute oral toxicity based on OECD 423.
