Kaempferol Protects Intestinal Health in Chinese Forest Musk Deer Possibly by Regulating Intestinal Microbiota and Inhibiting the NF‐κB/NLRP3 Signaling Pathway

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Kaempferol modulates the tryptophan metabolism pathway by increasing the abundances of Christensenellaceae R7 group, Bacteroides, and Blautia and reducing that of Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group, thereby significantly increasing the levels of ILA and IAA. This process inhibits the activation of NF‐κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway, reduces pro‐inflammatory factor

Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.

Seedlings' growth in response to drought stress and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) [PDF]

, 1989
The aim of this work was to study the effect of the herbicide, 2,4-D on a mono- cot (Lolium temulentum Linn.) and a dicot (Raphanus sativus Linn.) in relation to drought stress, in order to elucidate if the combined treatments altered the survival of the

Reactive oxygen species homeostasis and virulence of the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans requires an intact proline catabolism pathway

, 2013
Degradation of the multifunctional amino acid proline is associated with mitochondrial oxidative respiration. The two-step oxidation of proline is catalyzed by proline oxidase and Delta(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) dehydrogenase, which produce P5C ...

Therapeutic potential of natural products in cancer immunotherapy: Advances and challenges

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review systematically outlines the mechanisms underlying tumour immunotherapy resistance and elucidates the role of natural products in enhancing therapeutic efficacy as immunomodulatory adjuvants. Abstract Immunotherapy has emerged as a clinically pivotal approach in cancer treatment, but its application remains limited to a small subset of ...

Dual pharmacological targeting of coactivator‐associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) and salt inducible kinase (SIK) drives ketogenesis in both hepatocytes and mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Ketone bodies are liver‐derived circulating energy metabolites that positively impact most hallmarks of ageing. Ketone bodies increase during calorie restriction and fasting, two of the more widely perceived methods to increase health span.

The sluggish-A gene of Drosophila melanogaster is expressed in the nervous system and encodes proline oxidase, a mitochondrial enzyme involved in glutamate biosynthesis

, 1993
Certain gene mutations in Drosophila melanogaster cause sluggish motor activity. We have localized the transcription unit of the sluggish-A gene to a 14.7-kb region at the base of the X chromosome and have cloned corresponding cDNAs.

In vivo and in vitro protective role of proline

, 2002
Accumulation of proline in response to environmental stresses seems to be widespread among plants. To elucidate the role of proline in plant responses, in vivo and in vitro, we studied the effect of proline on catalase (CAT; EC 1.11.1.6), peroxidase (POD;

An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...
