Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasonic stress germination (USG) on total phenolic contents (TPC), total flavonoid contents (TFC), the phenolic compositions, and antioxidant activities of black highland barley (BHB). The USG processing parameters, polyphenol profile, phenolic compositions, and antioxidant activities were explored after USG. Results showed that the optimal USG parameters were as follows: 350 W ultrasonic pretreatment power, 30 °C ultrasonication temperature, 25 min ultrasonication time, and 64 h germination time. Under these conditions, the total phenolic content (688.84 ± 5.30 mg/100 g) and total flavonoid content (59.23 ± 0.45 mg/100 g) of BHB were increased by 28.55% and 10.15%, respectively, compared to the untreated samples. In addition, the USG treatment could more effectively enrich bound phenolic acids and free flavonoids, among which the content of catechin was significantly increased by USG and was the main characteristic substance. Moreover, the USG treatment could improve the antioxidant activity and had a higher antioxidant potency composite index (APC index) (97.91%) of BHB. These results indicate that USG might be an effective method to enrich polyphenols and improve antioxidant activity in BHB.

The emerging role of Nrf2 in heart failure: From cardioprotection to therapeutic approaches.
ESC Heart Fail
September 2025
Department of Clinical and Molecular Medicine, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy.
Heart failure (HF) is a multifactorial and pathophysiological complex syndrome, involving not only neurohormonal activation but also oxidative stress, chronic low-grade inflammation, and metabolic derangements. Central to the cellular defence against oxidative damage is nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a transcription factor that orchestrates antioxidant and cytoprotective responses. Preclinical in vitro and in vivo studies reveal that Nrf2 signalling is consistently impaired in HF, contributing to the progression of myocardial dysfunction.

Mechanistic studies have been suggested that toxic effects of bleomycin are generally attributed to formation of free radicals, mitochondria damages, oxidative stress and inflammation. For this purpose, we explored the direct exposure of bleomycin and protective effects of the betanin and vanillic acid separately against its possible toxicity in rat lung isolated mitochondria. Various mitochondrial toxicity parameters were evaluated including; succinate dehydrogenases (SDH) activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, mitochondrial swelling, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) collapse, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG) levels.

Tuberculosis, caused by , persists as a significant worldwide health issue, resulting in millions of infections and fatalities each year. Treatment predominantly depends on first-line antibiotics, including Isoniazid (INH) and Rifampicin (RIF). Nevertheless, extended use of these medications is linked to considerable adverse effects, leading to various organ toxicities, especially hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.

Melatonin, a multifunctional signalling molecule in plants, has been increasingly recognized for its role in improving stress tolerance, regulating hormone signalling, and enhancing crop productivity. Exogenous melatonin application represents a promising strategy to enhance crop productivity under global agricultural challenges. This study aimed to investigate the physiological and molecular mechanisms by which melatonin improves yield in Brassica napus.

Background: Microglia are brain resident cells that control neural network maintenance, damage healing, and brain development. Microglia undergo apoptosis, cytokine production, and reactive free radicals of oxygen (ROS) in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. TRPM2 is activated by LPS-induced oxidative stress, but it is inhibited by carvacrol (CARV) and N-(p-amylcinnamoyl)anthranilic acid (ACA).
