Immunological and periodontal benefits of prebiotic polydextrose in rats with induced periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Prebiotic therapy is a promising approach for managing periodontitis due to its potential benefits in modulating the microbiome and the immune response. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the prebiotic (PREB) polydextrose (PDX) on the development of experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats.

ACE‐inhibitory peptide Leu‐Tyr‐Ala in skeletal muscle actin exhibits anti‐aging effects through the inhibition of acn‐1 in Caenorhabditis elegans

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Inhibitors of angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) are used in pharmaceuticals and functional foods. Captopril, a well‐known ACE inhibitor, extends the lifespan of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Bioactive peptides derived from food sources are considered safe ACE inhibitors.

LPCAT3 as a Potential Drug Target for Ultraviolet Radiation–Induced Cataract: Insights From Multiomics Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a major risk factor for cataract development, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process, particularly the involvement of regulated cell death pathways such as ferroptosis, remain unclear. Transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses were performed on lens tissues from UVB‐induced cataract rat ...

Synapsin-i Expression in the Rattus norvegicus Pup's Brain from Rat's Maternal Death Model [PDF]

, 2019
Maternal mortality could be a neonatal stressor that activated the HPA axis to secret glucocorticoids as a marker of stress. Brain development took place rapidly in the first 1, 000 days of life.
