In the current study, we evaluated the effect of Crataegus azarolus L. leaves decoction extract (CALDE) against loperamide (LOP)-induced constipation in rats. For 3 days, treated rats were administered LOP (3 mg/kg, b.w., p.o.) and CALDE (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, b.w., p.o.) or yohimbine (2 mg/kg, b.w., p.o.). The gastric emptying test or intestinal transit time was calculated. The oxidative status was studied and evaluated using biochemical colorimetric methods. Results showed that CALDE administration improves gastric emptying and accelerates gastrointestinal transit. Pretreatment with LOP altered the defecation parameters and generated an oxidative status in healthy rats. In contrast, CALDE coadministration protected against the deregulation of intestinal motor function and frequency of defecation and significantly re-established oxidative marker levels. CALDE treatment demonstrated significant protection against experimental oxidative stress and constipation induced by LOP. Therefore, it can be considered a pharmacological drug to treat these gastrointestinal troubles.","PeriodicalId":16440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicinal food","volume":" ","pages":"465-477"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143663679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To evaluate the beneficial effects of BBs on neuroinflammation and motor and cognitive function relative to the frequency of consumption, the diets of aged F344 rats (18 months; n = 15/group) were supplemented with either a continuous control diet, a continuous 2% wild BB diet, or an intermittent (3 days on, 4 days off) 2% wild BB diet for 2 months prior to behavioral testing. Because neuroinflammation has been identified as a major contributing factor to the behavioral declines seen in aging and neurodegenerative diseases, serum was collected pre-diet and at the end of the study to assess whether diet-induced changes in serum can alter the production of inflammatory stress signals in activated HAPI rat microglial cells in vitro. Serum from rats continuously and intermittently fed BBs had beneficial effects by reducing the expression of inflammatory enzymes cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in microglia, but only continuous feeding attenuated nitrite production. Intermittent BB-fed rats performed better on the rotarod and committed fewer errors in the radial arm water maze on Day 2 compared to control-fed animals. Based on these findings, BBs may not have to be consumed daily to elicit beneficial effects, possibly due to the retention of polyphenols and their metabolites in tissue and circulation.","PeriodicalId":16440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicinal food","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143997968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We utilized the ligand-protein molecular docking method for our in-silico assessments. According to our cytotoxicity experiment results, daidzein decreased the proliferation of Caco-2 cells. It should be pointed out that our ELISA test results daidzein and 5-FU increase the level of Substance-P (SP), a proinflammatory cytokine released by Caco-2 cells. Based on our in-silico results, daidzein interacted with all three apoptosis-related receptors on the membrane of Caco-2 cells to a better extent than 5-FU. In sum, although daidzein increases the amount of SP, it is a compound that has significant cytotoxic effect on colon cancer cells and promise as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of colon cancer.","PeriodicalId":16440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicinal food","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144029190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the effect of vitamins D3 and K2 on MTX-induced liver cell injury using the zebrafish liver cell line (CRL-2643). Observed effects, levels of antioxidant enzymes, lipid peroxidation marker, and total antioxidant/oxidant status were evaluated by spectrophotometric methods. The mRNA expressions of p53, Bax, and Bcl-2 were measured using RT-PCR. In addition, acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining was performed to analyze the apoptosis status of the cells. The IC50 value of MTX at 48 h was calculated as 442 µg/mL with an MTT assay. The doses of D3&K2 are determined based on the recommended dose to be taken daily. As a result, this study suggests that MTX treatment induced oxidative damage on the liver cell, as assessed by increased reactive oxygen levels, lipid peroxidation, and decreased glutathione levels. In addition, while MTX increased the expression of the p53 and proapoptotic marker Bax, it decreased the expression of the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2. In conclusion, D3&K2 treatment protects against MTX-induced liver cell toxicity. It is thought that they can be used as a potential agent in clinical applications with MTX in treatment.","PeriodicalId":16440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicinal food","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144030311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Theophylline, a commonly used bronchodilator, is a xanthine derivative that exerts stimulatory effects on the central nervous system. Using an experimental rat model, we explored the impact of theophylline on respiratory parameters, including respiratory rate, tidal volume, and minute volume. Thirty-two 6-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group received a single oral dose of 100 mg/kg theophylline. Respiratory parameters were measured at baseline (0 h) and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 h post oral administration of theophylline using a whole-body plethysmograph. Oral theophylline administration significantly increased the respiratory rate and minute volume at all postdose time points compared with those in the control group, and peak values were observed at 0.5 h postadministration (P < .05). In contrast, the tidal volume remained consistent across all time points, indicating that theophylline enhances respiratory efficiency primarily by increasing the frequency of breaths rather than by altering their depth. Our study demonstrated the ability of theophylline to enhance respiratory efficiency via increased breathing frequency without affecting tidal volume, thus offering insights into the clinical significance of oral theophylline in managing chronic respiratory diseases.","PeriodicalId":16440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicinal food","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143968035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A rat type II diabetes mellitus model was established by giving rats a high-fat diet and streptozotocin (STZ) to investigate the protective effect of SCP against renal injury in diabetic rats. It was found in this study that fasting blood glucose, serum lipids, serum creatinine, and blood urea nitrogen levels were decreased, the insulin sensitivity was increased, and pathological injuries of the kidney were alleviated in SCP-treated groups, indicating that SCP should have a protective effect against renal injury in diabetic rats. SCP treatment reduced serum C-reactive protein and inhibited the expression of nuclear factors-κB and related inflammatory factors in the renal tissue of diabetic rats. SCP treatment also regulated the expression of Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2) like-2, heme oxygenase-1, and kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1, reduced serum malondialdehyde content, and increased superoxide dismutase activity. Furthermore, SCP down-regulated the expression of fibronectin, α-SMA, transforming growth factor β1, and p-Smad3, up-regulated Smad7 expression, and mitigated the collagen fiber deposition in the renal interstitium in diabetic rats. It can be concluded that the mechanism of SCP in alleviating renal injury may be related to inhibiting inflammation, increasing antioxidant stress capacity, and improving renal fibrosis in diabetic rats.","PeriodicalId":16440,"journal":{"name":"Journal of medicinal food","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143811559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In terms of physiological responses, both stimulus responses and locomotor activities were significantly affected by intravenous caffeine exposure. Specifically, the tail pinch response was significantly impaired in half of the mice in the 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg groups. Moreover, the rearing count decreased in the 10 mg/kg group at 1.5 to 6 h and in the 20 mg/kg group at 1.5 h after intravenous caffeine exposure.
