Domestic cat damage to plant leaves containing iridoids enhances chemical repellency to pests

, 2022
Catnip (Nepeta cataria) and silver vine (Actinidia polygama) produce iridoids with arthropod-repellent effects. Cats rub and roll against these plants, transferring iridoids to their fur that repels mosquitoes. Cats also lick and chew plant leaves during

Gentiopicroside Regulates EGFR and Induces Its Lysosomal Degradation to Attenuate Heart Failure

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
GPS attenuates pressure overload‐induced cardiac remodeling by promoting lysosomal degradation of EGFR. TAC‐induced EGFR accumulation activates AKT/ERK1/2 signaling and drives pathological cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and cardiac dysfunction. GPS promotes lysosome‐dependent EGFR degradation, thereby limiting excessive AKT/
