Polydatin Alleviates APAP‐Induced Hepatotoxicity by Targeting C/EBPβ to Suppress the NLRP3 Inflammasome Signaling Pathway

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
PD alleviates APAP‐induced ALI by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway. C/EBPβ is identified as a direct target via multimethod validation. PD promotes the deacetylation of C/EBPβ via Sirt1. The Sirt1/C/EBPβ/NLRP3 signaling axis is defined for PD's hepatoprotective effect.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...
