Dodecyl Creatine Ester Improves Cognitive Function and Identifies Drivers of Creatine Deficiency
Abstract Creatine transporter deficiency prevents creatine uptake into the brain, leading to mental retardation. To better understand the pathophysiology, this study focuses on the identification of biomarkers related to cognitive improvement in a Slc6a8 knockout mouse model (Slc6a8/y) engineered to mimic the clinical features of CTD ...

Systematic Pharmacology Combined With Experimental Validation Reveals the Apoptosis-Related Mechanism of Simiao Yong'an (SMYA) Decoction Against Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury. [PDF]
Background According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is primarily associated with qi stagnation and blood stasis. Simiao Yong′an (SMYA) decoction is a well‐known prescription that clears heat, detoxifies, and promotes blood circulation.

Dietary essential oils modulate post-mortem oxidative damage in trout fillets exposed to slaughter stress during frozen storage. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Slaughter is a critical phase in aquaculture that can severely compromise both animal welfare and product quality. Stress responses triggered during this stage may accelerate post‐mortem biochemical degradation and promote oxidative damage in fish fillets. Essential oils, known for their antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties,

A Mediterranean Diet-Based Food Mix Ameliorates Diabetes- and Obesity-Associated Liver Alterations Through Mitochondrial and Metabolic Reprogramming. [PDF]
Metabolic syndrome (MetS)‐related conditions are key factors in liver damage. A Mediterranean lifestyle shows promise in managing MetS, though its mechanisms remain unclear. This study tested a lab‐designed food mix mimicking the 1960s Mediterranean Diet (MD) on obese and diabetic mice; it prevented hyperlipidemia and reduced oxidative liver damage ...

A Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia Mouse Shows Wide-Ranging Biochemical Consequences of Elevated Glycine, Reduced Folate One-Carbon Charging, and Serine Deficiency. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nonketotic hyperglycinemia is a severe neonatal epileptic encephalopathy caused by deficient glycine cleavage enzyme activity, for which currently no effective treatment exists. Incomplete understanding of brain biochemistry represents a major knowledge gap to develop new treatments.

Updated safety evaluation of the food enzyme phospholipase A<sub>2</sub> from the genetically modified <i>Trichoderma reesei</i> strain RF8793. [PDF]
Abstract The food enzyme phospholipase A2 (phosphatidylcholine 2‐acylhydrolase; EC 3.1.1.4) is produced with the genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain RF8793 by AB Enzymes GmbH. In a previous opinion, the total organic solids (TOS) values could not be calculated, which led to the inability to establish the representativeness of the batch used ...

Echinococcus granulosus antigen B regulates T-cell function through inhibition of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 in experimental immune thrombocytopenia. [PDF]
During the pathological process of immune thrombocytopenia, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is activated by JAKs, leading to the production of a large number of inflammatory cytokines and promoting the activation of Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells.
