(AP), an edible mushroom, is continuously being studied due to the medicinal properties. In this study, AP crude extracts from three sequential extraction, starting from hexane (APH), ethanol (APE) and water (APW), were examined for their anti-inflammatory activity and lipid accumulation property in macrophages. APE treatment was found to increase lipid droplet accumulation in both RAW264.7 and LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, nitric oxide production upon LPS stimulation was suppressed on APE pre-treatment. LC-MS analysis was performed to identify the potential bioactive compounds in APE. The PPARγ agonist, 15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2-2-glycerol ester (15d-PGJ2-G), was uniquely presented in APE, which was previously described to bind with PPARγ and induces lipid uptake the upregulation of . We found that pre-treatment with APE also showed an increase in mRNA in RAW264.7 cells, indicating that 15d-PGJ2-G is the potential active compound found in AP. In conclusion, APE exhibited the induction of lipid uptake CD36, resulting in lipid accumulation.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques in the brain, contributing to neurodegeneration. This study investigates lipid alterations within these plaques using a novel, label-free, multimodal approach. Combining infrared (IR) imaging, machine learning, laser microdissection (LMD), and flow injection analysis mass spectrometry (FIA-MS), we provide the first comprehensive lipidomic analysis of chemically unaltered Aβ plaques in post-mortem human AD brain tissue.

Background: Recent studies have shown that ferroptosis, a newly identified regulated cell death characterized by increased lipid peroxidation and accumulation of toxic lipid peroxides, is closely related to the pathophysiological processes of nervous system diseases which can be inhibited with iron chelators, lipophilic antioxidants, and lipid peroxidation inhibitors.

Objective: To review the current evidence on the efficacy of various natural polyphenols in nervous system injury.

Methods: The data selected for this review were collected by searching the MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar database for articles published in English between 2000 and 2024 using the following terms: cell death, regulated cell death, ferroptosis, lipid peroxides, iron, and glutathione peroxidase.

To explore variation patterns of uptake, translocation, and accumulation processes responding to organophosphate esters (OPEs) among Poaceae plants, hydroponic and computer simulation experiments were executed. Plant growth, OPEs' concentration, and bioinformation and transcript of lipid transporters in the three terrestrial barley, wheat, and maize and aquatic rice seedlings were studied after exposure to seven OPE congeners. Four types of plants could accumulate seven OPE congeners.
