The effects of crocin nanoparticle on trace elements levels in paraquat-induced oxidative stress in rat [PDF]
Scientific ReportsParaquat, a non-spesific herbicide, induces toxicity primarily through oxidative stress, with no specific antidote available. Evidence suggests paraquat disrupts ion homeostasis, affecting essential trace elements involved in antioxidant defense. Crocin,

The Therapeutic Effects of Crocus sativus L. and Its Constituents on the Improving Treatment of Azoospermia: A Narrative Review [PDF]
Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Background and Aims Azoospermia, defined as the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate, is a major cause of male infertility and is classified into obstructive and non‐obstructive forms. While obstructive azoospermia is primarily mechanical in origin, non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is characterized by impaired spermatogenesis and is ...

The assembly of tetrameric human L‐lactate dehydrogenase is regulated by ionic strength, β‐NADH binding, cyclic peptides, and long‐chain dicarboxylates [PDF]
Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Lactate dehydrogenases catalyze the reduction of pyruvate to lactate, the generation of which is of importance for the energetic metabolism of malignant cells. In particular, human cancer cells overexpress lactate dehydrogenase A (hLDH‐A), whose catalytic activity depends on its assembly into the corresponding homotetramer (denoted as hLDH‐5),
