Our group has previously shown that combining metformin (MTF) and tert-butyl hydroquinone (tBHQ) treatments, in addition to exercise, partially prevents liver damage associated with obesity. Hence, we evaluated the role of exercise in combination with MTF and tBHQ (triple-treatment) to counteract mitochondrial damage in the liver from obese middle-aged female rats. Animals were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) starting at 21 days till 15 months of age. The treated groups performed a Fartlek-type exercise 5 days/week for 30 min/session. MTF and tBHQ were administered at a dose of 250 mg/kg/day, and 10 mg/kg/day, respectively, for 7 days/month from 10 to 15 months of age. Triple-treatment therapeutic approach promoted animal survival, and increased AMPK and PGC1α expression. Treatments increased mitochondrial ATP synthesis and OXPHOS complexes activities, recovered membrane potential, and decreased ROS production.

The removal of Methylene blue (MB), as a pollutant, from waste waters of textile, paper, printing and other industries has been addressed by the researchers. The aim of this study is to eliminate MB by Activated Coconut Shells (ACS) produced at low cost by adsorption in batch mode. The ACS was characterized by the FTIR spectroscopy and point of zero charge (pHpzc: 5.06). Some examined factors were found to have significant impacts on the MB uptake of ACS like the initial dye concentration C<sub>o</sub> (40-120 mg/L), solution pH (2-8), ACS dose (1-12 g/L), agitation speed (50-500 r/min), particles size (1.0-1.2 mm) and temperature (298-333 K). The best capacity was found at pH 6 with an adsorbent dose 8 g/L, an agitation speed 200 r/min and a contact time of 60 min. Modeling Kinetics and Isotherms shows that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with <i>R</i> <sup>2</sup> (0.935 -0.998) and Langmuir adsorption isotherm model provide better fitness to the experimental data with the maximum adsorption capacity of 30.30 mg/g at 25°C.

Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed using the STRING database. GO/KEGG enrichment analysis was performed using the Metascape database to identify biological processes and signaling pathways. Our results indicate that sesamoside interacts with multiple targets related to glucose and lipid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and inflammatory, and we find that AKR1B1 (AR) plays a crucial role in sesamoside responses to hypoxia. Molecular docking studies were performed using Autodock software, revealing good binding activity between sesamoside and AR. We then use CCK-8 assay, qPCR, WB, and ELISA analysis to validate the role of sesamoside in regulating AR and participating in anti-hypoxia through cell experiments. The results show that compared with the hypoxia group, sesamoside treatment significantly improves the expression of AR and inflammation cytokines.
