Obesity is associated with a series of skeletal muscle impairments and dysfunctions, which are characterized by metabolic disturbances and muscle atrophy. Luteolin is a phenolic phytochemical with broad pharmacological activities. The present study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of Luteolin on muscle function and explore the potential mechanisms in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rats and palmitic acid (PA)-treated C2C12 myotubes.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a common food contaminant that can impair male reproductive function. This study investigated the effects and mechanisms of DON exposure on progenitor Leydig cell (PLC) development in prepubertal male rats. Rats were orally administrated DON (0-4 mg/kg) from postnatal days 21-28.

Mitochondrial dysfunction is an interesting therapeutic target to help reduce cancer deaths, and the use of bioactive compounds has emerged as a novel and safe approach to solve this problem. Here, we discuss the information available related to phlorotannins, a type of polyphenol present in brown seaweeds that reportedly functions as antioxidants/pro-oxidants and anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic agents. Specifically, available evidence indicates that dieckol and phloroglucinol promote mitochondrial membrane depolarization and mitochondria-dependent apoptosis.

Aims: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a common complication of diabetes that causes visual impairment and blindness in adults. This study aimed to explore the protective effects of n-Butylidenephthalide (BP) on hyperglycemia-treated RPE in vitro and in vivo.
Main Methods: C57BL/6 mice were injected with STZ by intraperitoneal to induce early DR and orally administrated with 2 mg/kg BP every day for twelve weeks.

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an important lipid-soluble antioxidant and an essential component of the mitochondria. The oral bioavailability of the reduced form of CoQ10, ubiquinol-10, has been reported to be greater than that of the oxidized form of CoQ10, ubiquinone-10, in some studies. In contrast, it has also been highlighted that the oral bioavailability of ubiquinol-10 is not superior to that of ubiquinone-10 because ubiquinol-10 may be oxidized during digestion.
