The current protocol describes the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, which shown photoluminescence, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antibacterial effects utilizing leaf extracts of Muntingia calabura. High-throughput methods (UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX and PL) were used to characterize the synthesized Mc-AgNP's. The surface...

Resveratrol (Res), found abundant in many medicinal plants, exerts multiple biological functions in the body, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties. Xerostomia is a major symptom of salivary gland dysfunction in menopausal women, which significantly compromises the quality of life. Here, we investigated the effect of R...

Exosomes are 40-100 nm nano-sized extracellular vesicles and are receiving increasing attention as novel structures that participate in intracellular communication. We previously found that miRNA-1 (miR-1) functions as a tumor suppressor in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In this study, we investigated the function of exosomal miR-1 and the possibility...

Milk lipids are an important energy source for infants, but the composition of milk lipids has not yet been clarified in detail. In this study, we analyzed free fatty acids and their metabolites in milk from humans and cows. In comparison to cow milk, human milk showed a higher content of free fatty acids including polyunsaturated fatty acids, espe...

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder of pancreas and common digestive diseases, effective drug for AP is few. As an analog of active center of Reg3α, the biological activities of HTD4010 are similar to Reg3α. This study aimed to explore whether HTD4010 could decrease the inflammatory response and pancreatic injury in hypertriglycerid...

Previous studies found that irisin attenuated the vascular wall inflammation caused by Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL), and recent experiments have shown that proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) can act on various cells in the vascular wall to induce inflammatory responses. But, the relationship between irisin and PCSK9 ...

Patients with liver fibrosis who have pain in the liver region may have changed nerve factors. The expression of neurokines and hepatic nerves in liver fibrosis, however, was little understood. In order to better understand how liver fibrosis develops, we plan to look into the hepatic nerve and neurokine changes and how they relate to hepatic stell...

Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common type of lung cancers, which remains the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Drebrin can promote cell migration and invasion with poor prognosis, but its roes in LUAD tumor progression remains unknown. We showed that the expression of Drebrin was upregulated in clinical LUAD samples. A Kapla...

Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of obesity, but the underlying cause is not clear. We unexpectedly found that excess dietary zinc induced severe obesity and a Cushing's-like syndrome without increased food intake in ovariectomized (Ovx) but not in sham-operated mice. Zinc accumulated in the adrenal glands and inhibited adrenal 17,20-lya...

The midbody is a transient structure forming out of the central spindle at late telophase. Both the midbody and central spindle have important functions ensuring completion of cytokinesis and defects in this process may lead to genetic diseases, including cancer. Thus, understanding the mechanisms that control cytokinesis during mitosis can reveal ...
