Acute alcohol intoxication is a harmful clinical condition characterized by behavioral and neurological symptoms, for which few effective therapies are available at present. Dysfunction of microglial BV-2 cells has been reported to be associated with acute alcohol-induced brain injuries. In the present study, the protective effects of Eucommia ulmoides Oliv. leaves polysaccharides (EULP) on acute alcoholic brain injury and microglial dysfunction were investigated. 14-day pretreatment of EULP significantly attenuated neurobehavioral deficit and neurotransmitter damage in the brain tissue of mice caused by acute alcohol exposure. Additionally, EULP regulated the metabolic disorder of brain tissue. Consistently, it was shown that EULP pretreatment significantly improved alcohol-induced phagocytosis decrease, oxidative stress and inflammation in BV-2 cells. Therefore, EULP may be proposed and employed as a potential therapeutic agent for alcohol-induced brain damage.

The efficient extraction and purification of active components from Eucommia ulmoides Oliver (EUO) are crucial for their utilization. The structure and properties of the prepared EUO leaf polysaccharides (ELPs) and extractum (ELE) were comprehensively characterized in this study, and the intervention mechanism of the EUO polysaccharides and extractum in alcoholic liver disease (ALD) were investigated. The yield of EUO extractum was 24.

Here, we investigated whether a mixture of and (1:3, KGC01CE) could suppress muscle atrophy in HO-induced C2C12 cells and dexamethasone-injected mice. Our results revealed that KGC01CE effectively safeguarded against HO-induced muscle atrophy in C2C12 cells compared with the same mixture at other ratios. We demonstrated that dexamethasone elicited oxidative stress in muscle tissue and decreased the grip strength and cross-sectional areas of muscle fibers; however, oral administration of KGC01CE (1:3) suppressed these dexamethasone-induced changes.

Plant-derived antibacterial agents are increasingly pivotal in mitigating the escalating threat posed by pathogenic microorganisms. Dihydromyricetin (DMY), a plant bioactive compound prevalent in Ampelopsis grossedentata, exhibits remarkable antibacterial properties. However, its poor solubility in water significantly hinders its application in antibacterial therapies, necessitating the exploration of suitable carriers for the loading and sustained release of DMY.

Trihelix transcription factors play important roles in plant light responses, growth and development, and stress responses. However, Trihelix has not yet been reported in Eucommia ulmoides. In this study, bioinformatics methods were used to comprehensively identify and analyze the expression patterns of the Trihelix gene family in E.
