To investigate the role of loganin in hypoxia/reperfusion (H/R)-induced renal tubular epithelial cells and ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). Cells were received H/R treatment and cultured with different concentrations of loganin. The cell activity and apoptosis were detected. The expressions of apoptosis-related proteins, inflammatory factors, oxidative stress related molecules, and related molecules of JAK2/STAT3 and Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathways were measured. AKI model of mice was established by I/R procedure, and the kidney was collected for hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. H/R treatment inhibited cell activity and apoptosis, but loganin attenuated the effect of H/R. Moreover, loganin inhibited H/R-induced inflammatory response and oxidative stress in tubular epithelial cells. Loganin down-regulated the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, suppressed JAK2/STAT3 pathway, and activated Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. In animal experiment, loganin reduced tubular injury in AKI mice.Loganin had anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidative stress effects on H/R-induced tubular epithelial cells, and could improve AKI in mice induced by I/R. This effect might be achieved by inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 and activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

IntroductionDiabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) that can lead to heart failure and increase the risk of mortality. Pedunculoside (PE), a novel triterpenoid saponin, exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative stress (OS) properties. However, its role in DCM remains unexplored.

Myocardial ischemia, also known as myocardial infarction or heart attack, is a significant global health issue and a leading cause of mortality worldwide. The present study focuses on investigating the cardioprotective role of carvacrol on three specific pathways: nuclear factor E2-related factor (Nrf2) / peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor factor (PPARγ)-coupled anti-inflammatory response, inflammasome (NLRP3)-mediated pyroptosis, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)-dependent autophagic signaling. Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into three experimental cohorts to determine the best dose for carvacrol (20 mg / kg, 50 mg / kg, and 80 mg/ kg) and the optimum treatment strategy.

Periodontitis, a common dental illness, causes periodontal tissue inflammation and irreversible bone loss, inevitably resulting in tooth loss. Hyperhomocysteinaemia (HHcy), defined as blood total homocysteine (Hcy) levels greater than 15 µmol/L, is linked to increased cardiovascular disease risk. Mounting evidence indicates a connection between HHcy and periodontitis; however, the underlying processes remain unknown.

Excessive exercise can lead to physical fatigue and disruption of the antioxidant system, resulting in neurological damage and cognitive decline. Cordycepin, the main component of Cordyceps militaris, has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. In this study, the anti-fatigue effect and potential mechanism of action of cordycepin were investigated using a forced exercise mouse model.
