Gastrointestinal tract plays a critical role in human health, in which intestinal microflora, immune barrier, and metabolic circulation are closely related to the physiological function of the body. Prebiotics are not digested and absorbed by the host, and can selectively promote the proliferation...

The low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (LCKD) is a dietary approach characterized by the intake of high amounts of fat, a balanced amount of protein, and low carbohydrates, which is insufficient for metabolic demands. Previous studies have shown that an LCKD alone may contribute to fatty acid...

Diabetic liver injury is a complication of diabetes without any specific medicine approved for its effective treatment or prevention. In this research, the effect of camel whey protein (CWP) on diabetic liver injury in T2DM rats (T2DM induced by a high-fat diet) and streptozotocin along with its...

Scope: Long-term high-fat diet (HFD) causes insulin resistance, which is a primary etiological factor in the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Impaired insulin clearance is not only a consequence but also a cause of insulin resistance. The kidney is a major site of insulin...

Objective: To explore the feasibility of new test methods for evaluation of improving hypoxia tolerance function in health food. Methods: Hypoxia tolerance experiments were carried out on mice. The zebrafish hypoxia model was established, and the improvement of zebrafish hypoxia movement and...

Currently, many countries in the world are entering an aging society. The health of the elderly is the most prominent problem in an aging society. Stem cell exhaustion and aging are some of the most important factors leading to body aging. Therefore, reversing or alleviating stem cell aging is an...

Obesity-induced metabolic disorders can cause chronic inflammation in the whole body, activating the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway and inducing apoptosis. Therefore, anti-inflammatory strategies may be effective in preventing obesity-related renal injury. Tabersonine (Tab) has been used...

Companilactobacillus crustorum MN047-derived bacteriocins (CCDB) have inhibitory effects on the growth of pathogens. In this study, a pectin/zein beads delivery system was used to investigate the effects of CCDB on the dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in mice. The focus was given on aspects...

Background: Patients with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) are prone to develop more severe acute pancreatitis (AP). However, the specific molecular mechanism still has not been elaborated clearly, and effective drugs for treating HTG-AP are not yet readily available. Baicalin is an ingredient isolated...

The present study investigated the effects of quercetin on cisplatin (CDDP)-induced common side effect, myelosuppression, and the possible mechanisms in Balb/c mice. The mice were randomly treated with CDDP alone or in combination with quercetin for 14 days. Quercetin was given by intraperitoneal...
