Recent Perspectives on Phytochemical Profile, Pharmacological Activities, and Industrial Applications of Guava (Psidium guajava)

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Psidium guajava leaves contain potent bioactive compounds like quercetin, myricetin, and triterpenoids that show antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti‐inflammatory, and anticancer effects. They act by modulating NF‐κB, PPARγ, and α‐glucosidase and by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.

Regulatory effects of sterols and bile acids on hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase and cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase in the rat

Journal of Lipid Research, 1973
Specific activities of the hepatic microsomal enzymes 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA (HMG CoA) reductase and cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase were studied in rats fed sterols and bile acids.

Rosuvastatin Upregulates RCOR1 to Repress C10ORF10 Transcription and Alleviate Oxidative Stress and Plaque Formation in Atherosclerosis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rosuvastatin (RVS) is an HMG‐CoA reductase inhibitor with lipid‐lowering properties. This study aims to investigate the role of RVS in plaque formation in atherosclerosis (AS) and its functional mechanism. ApoE−/− mice were fed a high‐fat diet to generate a mouse model of AS.

Diurnal variation of HMG CoA reductase activity in rat intestine

Journal of Lipid Research, 1972
HMG CoA reductase activity of rat intestinal mucosa has a diurnal rhythm which coincides with the diurnal variation of the hepatic HMG CoA reductase but has a lower amplitude. The rhythmic variation of the intestinal reductase was present in both jejunal

Proteomics of Nitrotyrosine: Integrating Mass Spectrometry and Immunodetection in Redox‐Driven Pathology

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrooxidative stress, driven by excess reactive nitrogen species like peroxynitrite, contributes to the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases. Among its molecular footprints, 3‐nitrotyrosine (3NT) has emerged as a biologically relevant marker of protein nitration.

Effect of endotoxin on cholesterol biosynthesis and distribution in serum lipoproteins in Syrian hamsters.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
Infection and inflammation increase serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels in rodents and rabbits. Endotoxin (LPS) has been used as a model of infection and its effects on triglyceride metabolism have been previously characterized.
