Mushrooms and Chinese traditional herbs have bioactive nutraceuticals with multiple therapeutic functions, including antioxidant and antibacterial activities and microbiome modulation properties. Mushroom-derived bioactive compounds are used in medicines for the treatment of neurological disorders with abnormal braingutmicrobiome axis. This study examined the effects of KI Essence extract, a spleen-tonifying formula, on neurite growth, antioxidant activity, hypomyelination modulation, and the microbiome profile in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced maternal immune activation (MIA) offspring. The KI Essence extract induced PC12 cell neurite growth by increasing extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, promoting 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity, reducing the level of tert-butylhydroperoxide-induced lipid peroxidation in brain homogenates, protecting PC12 cells from HO-induced cell death (through the inhibition of ERK phosphorylation), alleviating hypomyelination, and downregulating interleukin-1β through LPS-activated microglia production; moreover, the numbers of Enterobacteriaceae Actinobacteria Peptostreptococcaceae Erysipelotrichaceae, and bacteria in MIA offspring increased. In summary, the KI Essence extract promotes neurite outgrowth, alleviates oxidative stress and hypomyelination, and modulates microbiota dysbiosis in MIA offspring.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Ocimum basilicum supplementation in the diet for Piaractus mesopotamicus regarding productive performance, intestinal morphology, muscle residue, and hematological changes after simulated transport stress. Juvenile (23 g±0.08, n = 180) were stocked into 300-L tanks in three treatments and six replicates each: a control diet (not supplemented), a diet with 0.

The objective of this study was to analyze the antimicrobial and anti-stick capacity of essential oil extracted from oregano (Origanum vulgare) in relation to various strains of Escherichia coli (Ec 41, Ec 42, Ec 44, Ec 45) isolated from meat products. Techniques such as Determination of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration were used (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (CBM). Furthermore, the method was used disk diffusion method to examine the interaction between O.

In this study, the chemical components of Panacis Japonici Rhizoma extract and absorbed components in rats were identified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole exactive orbitrap mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap-MS). The separation was performed by gradient elution on Waters UPLC BEH C_(18) column(2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.
