Studies on the formation of C7-oxygenated cholesterol and β-sitosterol metabolites in cell-free preparations of rat liver

Journal of Lipid Research, 1973
The microsomal fraction and the 18,000 g supernatant fluid obtained from livers from normal rats, cholestyraminetreated rats, or from rats with a bile fistula have been used to compare the 7α-hydroxylation of [4-14C]cholesterol and β-[4-14C]sitosterol ...

Ashwagandha: Is It Safe? Part 2: A Preclinical Evidence Review

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 4792-4801, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The preclinical evidence for the safety of ashwagandha ( Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, AS) is reviewed, and its preparations (extracts) and constituents, from the general toxicity in animal models to in vitro and cell culture studies, which may elucidate mechanisms of action and explain clinical case reports. Most studies and reviews conclude

Encapsulation of Nigella sativa Essential Oil by Complex Coacervation Using Gelatin and Gum Arabic

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to encapsulate Nigella sativa essential oil (NSEO) using gelatin (Ge) and gum arabic (GA) via complex coacervation to produce NSEO microcapsules (NSEO‐MCs), optimize encapsulation conditions, characterize the microcapsules, and evaluate antimicrobial activity.

Schedule‐dependent neuroprotection by pioglitazone in a novel model of α‐synucleinopathy in rats: Integrated behavioural and histological outcomes

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 15, Page 4227-4245, August 2026.
Background and Purpose α‐Synucleinopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the aggregation and propagation of misfolded α‐synuclein. In Parkinson's disease (PD), the most common α‐synucleinopathy, the progression of motor and nonmotor deficits, and dopaminergic neuron loss, are closely linked to the spreading of misfolded α‐synuclein ...

Analysis of from Jamaican Populations

Natural Product Communications, 2009
This is the first report of a phytochemical investigation of Jamaican populations of a local folk medicinal plant Salvia coccinea (Lamiaceae/Labiatae). Apart from the presence of β-sitosterol, phytochemical profiling of the aerial parts yielded compounds

Towards an integrated molecular understanding of plant hormones

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2787-2826, August 2026.
This review offers a comprehensive overview of the nine plant hormones, delving into their biosynthesis, transport, signaling and crosstalk mechanisms. Because the complexity of plant hormonal control goes beyond these core elements, additional specific features are discussed. Lastly, this review highlights how fundamental insights drive hormonal‐based

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1188-1208, August 2026.
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...

Long‐Term Salt Exposure Reprograms the Nicotiana tabacum BY‐2 Suspension Proteome and Metabolome Toward Stabilization of the Core Metabolic Pathways, Protein Turnover Machinery Modifications, and Protective Metabolome Adjustments

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5849-5865, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, we analyzed a unique Nicotiana tabacum BY‐2 line that was gradually adapted to and subsequently maintained in 190 mM NaCl for over 15 years. Years of continuous high salinity shaped a stable “new homeostasis” in BY‐2 suspension cells. Salt‐adapted cells were smaller and formed tighter clusters. Metabolomics revealed constitutive
