Article Abstract
Polysaccharides isolated from mushrooms have been identified as potential prebiotics that could impact gut microbiota. In this study, a water-soluble polysaccharide (MP) extracted from wild morels was evaluated for its effects on the gut microbiota of non-treated and cyclophosphamide (CP)-treated mice. The results showed that MP restored the spleen weight and increased the counts of white blood cells and lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and spleen of the CP-treated mice. Mice treated with MP exhibited increased levels of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria, especially Lachnospiraceae, compared to normal mice, and increased levels of Bacteroidetes and SCFA-producing bacteria, especially Ruminococcaceae, compared to the CP-treated mice. Moreover, MP treatment increased the production of valeric acid and decreased the production of acetic acid in the non-treated mice and increased the production of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and valeric acid in the CP-treated mice. These results show that MP is potentially good for health.

Hepatoprotective role of verbenone against cyclophosphamide-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis in Swiss albino mice: insights into the involvement of NF-κB, caspase-3, and TGF-β signaling pathways.

Cyclophosphamide (CP), an anti-cancer drug, causes oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis and fibrosis in liver. Verbenone (VRB), a bicyclic monoterpene ketone, having antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, was selected to investigate its efficiency in reversing CP-induced hepatotoxicity. We hypothesized that VRB having good antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties, might neutralize the CP-induced toxicity and offer liver protection.

Aims: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and debilitating joint disease. Despite its prevalence, especially in ageing and obese populations, effective treatments targeting the molecular mechanisms of OA are limited. This study aimed to investigate the role of carpaine (CP), a major alkaloid from the Carica papaya leaf, in inhibiting articular cartilage destruction and synovitis during OA progression, and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Unlabelled: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition marked by premature depletion of ovarian function, affecting a significant portion of women. The objective of this study is to assess the therapeutic efficacy of Yijing Hugui decoction (YJHGD) in the treatment of POI and to elucidate its pharmacological mechanisms. In this study, network pharmacology was used to identify key bioactive compounds in YJHGD, and the components were characterized using LC-MS.
