The experiments were undertaken to determine the effect of Peroxinorm (superoxide dismutase) on the activity of interleukin-1 in vitro. The results give evidence that the influence of the drug examined on the activity/production of interleukin-1 can take different forms, relative to the concentration applied. At higher dilution (10(-7)) Peroxinorm suppressed the activity of Il-1, whereas at lower dilutions it was devoid of this effect. A conceivable mechanism of its activity in the treatment of the inflammations is also discussed.

We aimed to investigate the wound-healing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects of pterostilbene (PTS) on human gingival fibroblasts (GF). Different concentrations of PTS were applied to GFs and cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. GFs were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the study groups were determined as LPS, LPS + 1 μM PTS, LPS + 10 μM PTS, and control.

Parkinson's disease (PD) stands as the sec most prevalent incapacitating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by deterioration of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has garnered attention as a potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agent and enhancer of mitochondrial complex-I activity. This study aimed to examine and compare the effectiveness of liposomal and non-encapsulated CoQ10 in rotenone induced-PD mouse model over a 21-day treatment duration.

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.

The blood flow, when restored clinically following a myocardial infarction (MI), disrupts the physiological and metabolic equilibrium of the ischemic myocardial area, resulting in secondary damage termed myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and inflammatory reactions stand as primary culprits behind MIRI. Current strategies focusing on ROS-scavenging and anti-inflammatory actions have limited remission of MIRI.

Wheat, a staple food crop globally, faces the challenges of limited water resources and sustainable soil management practices. The pivotal elements of the current study include the integration of activated acacia biochar (AAB) in wheat cultivation under varying irrigation regimes (IR). A field trial was conducted in the Botanical Garden, University of the Punjab, Lahore during 2023-2024, designed as a split-split-plot arrangement with RCBD comprising three AAB levels (0T, 5T, and 10T, T = tons per hectare) three wheat cultivars (Dilkash-2020, Akbar-2019, and FSD-08) receiving five IR levels (100%, 80%, 70%, 60%, and 50% field capacity).
