The present study aimed to assess the role of opioid receptors in the effect of MO in anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in stressed rats. Male hooded rats received oral administration of MO (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg), with or without intraperitoneal injection of naloxone (1 mg/kg), and were exposed to 30 min stress, then anxiety-like and OCD-like behaviors were evaluated using light/dark box and marble burying test. Our results showed that oral administration of MO has anxiolytic effects and a reduction in OCD-like behavior in stressed rats that could be inhibited by injection of naloxone.

This study focused on <i>A. inopinatus</i> nymphs collected from Yarımca village in Eskişehir, Turkiye. Employing molecular techniques and culture-independent methods, rRNA-based analyses were conducted to characterize the archaeal and bacterial communities within the nymphs’ gut. Microbial DNA was extracted from the gut, and PCR amplification targeted 16S rRNA genes for both Archaea and Bacteria domains. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) separated the amplified products, yielding six distinct bands with Bacteria-specific primers. The subsequent analysis of 16S rRNA sequencing from DGGE bands revealed a predominance of the Proteobacteria phylum within the gut lumen. Complementary investigations into prokaryotic diversity employed fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining. Total DAPI cell counts indicated a microbial cell population of approximately 10<sup>6</sup> ± 0.18 in the samples. The overarching conclusion derived from these findings is that the microbial community within the <i>Ameletus inopinatus</i> gut is predominantly associated with the Bacteria domain. Recognizing the ecological importance of this symbiotic relationship, the coexistence of mayflies with specific microbial communities is emphasized, underscoring the potential mutualistic roles played by these microorganisms in the life cycle and ecological dynamics of <i>Ameletus inopinatus</i>.

It was correlated to the resistance towards drugs used in chemotherapy treatment. The study demonstrated the isolation of peptide as potential inhibitor to the enzyme. Glutathione transferase Pi (GST-P) was purified from human colon adenocarcinoma HT-29 cell line using glutathione (GSH)-affinity chromatography. Active components presence in ethanolic extract (50% ethanol) of leaves <i>Leptospermum flavescens</i> Sm. was shown possessing inhibitory property (IC<sub>50</sub> of 0.088 mg/mL) towards GST-P in vitro. Further fractionation using polyamide the 50% methanol in 2% acetic acid eluate possessed an inhibitory property at IC<sub>50</sub> of 0.191 mg/mL. In the study the IC<sub>50</sub> values of doxorubicin are 0.788 and 0.816 μg/mL on HT-29 and MRC-5 cell lines respectively while IC<sub>50</sub> values of cisplatin were at 9.49 and 4.07 μg/mL on HT-29 and MRC-5 cell lines respectively. The 50% methanol eluate has significantly non-toxic to both of the cell lines with 100% cell viability at more than 100 μg/mL sample applied. In combination with doxorubicin, 50% methanol eluate enhanced cytotoxicity of the drug towards HT-29 by reduction of IC<sub>50</sub> value significantly to 66%. The eluate however only reduced the IC<sub>50</sub> to 11% when combined with cisplatin. The study indicates that the eluate can potentiate cytotoxicity of doxorubicin on HT-29 cell line and this effect is correlated to the ability of the eluate to inhibit GST-P in vitro.
