Background: Lead (Plumbum/Pb) has been identified as a potential cause of Parkinson's disease as well as possibly contributing to disease progression. extract has been widely used to prevent and treat stroke which prevents brain cell apoptosis and neuroinflammation. This has been shown to be beneficial in cognitive recovery in stroke incidents.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of on the expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) in the brain cells of rats () exposed to Plumbum.
Methods: The experimental animals used were 36 male white rats divided into 4 groups with different treatments of Plumbum and at varying doses for 42 days, after which the brains were collected for examination of SOD, MDA, and AIF expressions using immunohistochemical methods and analyzed using analysis of variance and Duncan's test.
Results: Plumbum administration caused a significant decrease in SOD expression and an increase in MDA and AIF expressions ( < 0.05). administration significantly increased SOD expression and decreased MDA and AIF expressions ( < 0.05), with optimal increases in SOD, decreases in MDA, and modulation of AIF observed in the group exposed to 50 mg/kg BW Pb and 300 mg/kg BW .
Conclusion: Preventive administration of increased SOD expression, and reduced MDA and AIF expressions in Pb-exposed rats, with an optimal dose of 300 mg/kg BW, suggesting its potential as an affordable drug to prevent brain cell death-related diseases.

Unlabelled: The present study aimed to investigate the direct effects of α-Linolenic acid (ALA) on the in vitro production of testosterone and the expression of key enzymes and proteins related to steroidogenesis in Leydig cells of roosters.
Methods: Purified primary Leydig cells isolated from 65-week-old roosters were purified and treated with different concentrations of ALA treatments: (0 μm/L [control], solvent control group (DMSO), 20 μM/L, 40 μM/L, and 80 μM/L) and cell counting-8 (CCK-8) for cell viability assay, Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit for the determination of testosterone in cell supernatants, quantitative (real-time) PCR, and analysis of activities of antioxidants catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA), evaluation of mitochondrial membrane potential, pro- and anti-apoptotic proteins/genes Bcl-2, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) were done respectively.
Results: Our results showed that ALA significantly increased testosterone secretion in primary rooster Leydig cells (P < 0.
Retention time-independent strategy for screening pesticide residues in herbs based on a fingerprint database and all ion fragmentation acquisition with LC-QTOF MS.

A retention time (RT)-independent strategy for nontargeted screening of pesticide residues in herbs was exploited using liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF MS). The core of this strategy is a fingerprint database coupled with a data-independent acquisition (DIA) scan mode of all ion fragmentation (AIF). In the fingerprint database, a total of 150 pesticides with quasimolecular ions and fragment ions at five-level collision energies were collected as qualified ions for screening.

Cryopreservation causes higher reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentrations, leading to oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation damaging sperm, and using antioxidants can improve semen quality after freeze-thaw. Natural astaxanthin (ASTA) can be inserted into cell membranes and its antioxidant properties are stronger than other antioxidants. We aimed to investigate the effects of ASTA supplementation in the Beltsville Poultry Semen Extender (BPSE) on post-thaw rooster semen quality and to explore the potential mechanism of rooster semen quality change.

The Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 1-like (CHD1L) is a nucleosome remodeling enzyme, which plays a key role in chromatin relaxation during the DNA damage response. Genome editing has shown that deletion of CHD1L sensitizes cells to PARPi, but the effect of its pharmacological inhibition has not been defined. Triple-negative breast cancer SUM149PT, HCC1937, and MDA-MB-231 cells were used to assess the mechanism of action of the CHD1Li OTI-611.
