Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by impairments in motor control following the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons located in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Environmental pesticides such as Paraquat (PQ) and Maneb (MB) contribute to the onset of PD by inducing oxidative stress (OS). This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of moderate physical activity (PA) on both motor and non-motor symptoms in a Wistar rat model of Paraquat and Maneb (PQ/MB) induced PD.

Graduate School of Food and Nutritional Sciences, Toyo University, 48-1, Oka, 351-8501, Asaka, Saitama, Japan.

Pea shoots (Pisum sativum) are well known to have nutritional benefits when consumed raw; however, the effects of home cooking on their bioactive compounds remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated how different cooking methods affect the antioxidant activity and stability of antioxidants. Our evaluation revealed that antioxidant activity is preserved by steaming but significantly reduced by microwaving and boiling, which also causes weight loss during cooking.

Introduction: Lactate has emerged as a multifunctional signaling molecule regulating various physiological and pathological processes. Furthermore, lactylation, a newly identified posttranslational modification triggered by lactate accumulation, plays significant roles in human health and diseases. This study aims to investigate the roles of lactate/lactylation in respiratory diseases.

Background: Pelvic and acetabular fractures, often resulting from high-impact trauma, pose significant challenges due to extensive blood loss and complex surgical procedures. Tranexamic acid (TXA), widely used in elective orthopedic surgeries, offers a potential strategy for managing blood loss. However, its efficacy and safety in pelvic-acetabular trauma surgeries have shown inconsistent results in prior studies.

The treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease involves physical activity, weight loss, and management of comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia). In 2024, the American Food and Drug Administration provisionally approved resmetirom for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. Other promising molecules are being evaluated (glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, fibroblast growth factor 21 agonist).
