Postovulatory aging of oocytes involves a series of deleterious molecular and cellular changes, which adversely affect oocyte maturation, fertilization, and early embryonic development. Petunidin-3-O-(6-O-pcoumaroyl)-rutinoside-5-O-glucoside (PrG), the main active ingredient of anthocyanin, exerts antioxidant effects. This study investigated whether PrG supplementation could delay postovulatory oocyte aging by alleviating oxidative stress. Our results showed that PrG supplementation decreased the number of abnormal morphology oocytes and improved the oxidative stress of aged oocytes by facilitating the reduction of the reactive oxygen species, the increase in glutathione content, and the recovery of expression of antioxidant-related gene expression. In addition, PrG treatment recovered mitochondrial dysfunction, including mitochondrial distribution, mitochondrial membrane potential and adenosine triphosphate in aged oocytes. PrG-treated oocytes returned to normal levels of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial calcium. Notably, PrG inhibited early apoptosis in aged oocytes. RNA-seq and qRT-PCR results revealed that PrG ameliorated oxidative stress injury in postovulatory aging oocytes of mice via the putrescine pathway. In conclusion, in vitro PrG supplementation is a potential therapy for delaying postovulatory oocyte aging.

Background: This study checked whether vitamin D (Vit-D) supplementation improves the efficacy of resistance training (RT) in terms of increasing muscle strength and lean body mass (LBM), and influencing cardiorespiratory fitness (VOmax) in Vit-D-deficient middle-aged healthy men.
Methods: Participants ( = 28) were quasi-randomly assigned to one of two groups, which, in a double-blind manner, supplemented their diet daily with either Vit-D (8000 IU; VD) or placebo (PLC) during participation in a 12-week supervised RT program.
Results: During the intervention, serum Vit-D concentrations increased 2.

Background: Carbohydrate fermentation plays a pivotal role in maintaining colonic health with excessive proximal and deficient distal fermentation being detrimental.
Aims: To utilise telemetric gas- and pH-sensing capsule technologies for defining patterns of regional fermentation following dietary manipulations, alongside conventional techniques of measuring fermentation.
Methods: In a double-blind crossover trial, 20 patients with irritable bowel syndrome were fed low FODMAP diets that included no extra fibre (total fibre content 24 g/day), or additional poorly fermented fibre, alone (33 g/day) or with fermentable fibre (45 g/day) for 2 weeks.

The purpose of this study was to compare four activation solutions (AS)-Woynarovich, Lahnsteiner, Kucharczyk, and Perchec-with the addition of 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for ide () sperm activation and analysis with a CASA system. It was found that ide sperm can be activated using each AS within a pH range of 7.
