Article Abstract
Astragalin (AG), a typical flavonoid found in Turcz (), is abundant in various edible plants and possesses high nutritional value, as well as antioxidant and antibacterial effects. In this study, we initially predicted the mechanism of action of AG with two anti-aging and antioxidant-related protein targets (CD38 and IGFR) by molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation techniques. Subsequently, we examined the anti-aging effects of AG in (), the antioxidant effects in zebrafish, and verified the related molecular mechanisms. In , AG synergistically extended the lifespan of by up-regulating the expression of through inhibiting the expression of and also activating the AMPK and MAPK pathways to up-regulate the expression of , , and . In oxidatively damaged zebrafish embryos, AG demonstrated a synergistic effect in augmenting the resistance of zebrafish embryos to oxidative stress by up-regulating the expression levels of and within the zebrafish embryos system via the suppression of CD38 enzymatic activity and then inhibiting the expression of through high levels of . These findings highlight the antioxidant and anti-aging properties of AG and indicate its potential application as a supplementary ingredient in aquaculture for enhancing fish health and growth.

Background: High-throughput behavioral analysis is important for drug discovery, toxicological studies, and the modeling of neurological disorders such as autism and epilepsy. Zebrafish embryos and larvae are ideal for such applications because they are spawned in large clutches, develop rapidly, feature a relatively simple nervous system, and have orthologs to many human disease genes. However, existing software for video-based behavioral analysis can be incompatible with recordings that contain dynamic backgrounds or foreign objects, lack support for multiwell formats, require expensive hardware, and/or demand considerable programming expertise.

Fluoxetine (FLX), a typical selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, has been frequently detected in aquatic environment and wild fish. However, little is known about its effect on thyroid endocrine system. In the present study, zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos were exposed to 1, 3, 10, and 30 μg/L of FLX for 6 days.

Facing the need for alternative models allowing assessment of metabolic-endocrine disrupting chemicals (MDCs), especially in poorly investigated tissues such as the intestine, we recently developed a transgenic zebrafish embryo in vivo model, tg(cyp3a65:GFP), expressing the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) under the control of the zebrafish cyp3a65 promoter, ortholog of human cyp3a4, a gene coding for a key enzyme of intestinal xenobiotic and endobiotic metabolism. In this study, we aimed to better understand the regulation of cyp3a65 expression by zfPXR, zfAhR2, and zfGR zebrafish orthologs of well-known human xenosensors PXR and AhR, and steroid nuclear receptor GR. For this purpose, we performed zebrafish embryo tg(cyp3a65:GFP) (co)exposures to a variety of agonists (clotrimazole, TCDD, fluticasone propionate) and antagonists (econazole nitrate, CH223181, RU486), which were characterized using in vitro zebrafish reporter gene assays.

Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate (VC-IP) is a novel form of ascorbic acid characterized by reduced water solubility due to complete acylation with palmitate. This study investigated the potential cosmetic application of VC-IP when encapsulated in lyotropic liquid crystal nanoparticles (VC-IP LCNPs) by using a high-pressure homogenization (HPH) method. The particle size, zeta potential, and polydispersity index (PDI) of the obtained VC-IP LCNPs were determined as 158.

With a prevalence of approximately 1 in 35,000 live births, it is the most common form of syndromic clefting and may account for ~2% of all OFCs. The majority of VWS is attributed to genetic variants in IRF6 (~70%) or GRHL3 (~5%), leaving up to 25% of individuals with VWS without a molecular diagnosis.
