The environmental impact of harmful particles from tire and brake systems is a growing concern. This study investigated the health impacts of PM emissions from brake pad wear on adult C57BL/6 mice. The mice were exposed to brake pad particles via intratracheal infusion, and various health parameters were assessed.

Background: Sika deer (, 1838) antler is a highly esteemed tonic renowned for its abundant assortment of polypeptides, polysaccharides, amino acids, and minerals, and is recognized for its multifarious pharmacological properties. However, limited research has been conducted regarding the variation in composition of deer antlers between the upper and basal sections, as well as their pharmacological effects on immunological activity and anti-fatigue in mice. The objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive analysis on the appearance, chemical composition, and pharmacological effects of different components within sika deer antlers.

The main therapeutic strategy for the treatment of patients with toxic liver failure is the elimination of the toxic agent in combination with the targeted mitigation of pathological processes that have been initiated due to the toxicant. In the current research we evaluated the strategy of metabolic supplementation to improve mitochondrial bioenergetics during acute liver intoxication. In our study, we have shown that acute CCl-induced intoxication negatively affects Complex I (in the presence of glutamate-malate as energy substrates) based respiration, generation of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ), mitochondrial NAD(P)H pool and NADH redox index, mitochondrial calcium retention capacity (CRC) and structure and functions of the liver.

Background: Hypoxanthine, prevalent in animals and plants, is used in the production of food additives, nucleoside antiviral drugs, and disease diagnosis. Current biological fermentation methods synthesize quantities insufficient to meet industrial demands. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a strain capable of industrial-scale production of hypoxanthine.
