Article Abstract

Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the important signs of cellular and even individual aging. Ganoderma lucidum is a common edible and medicinal mushroom, widely used as a functional food in Asia. This study investigated the potential anti-aging effects of Ganoderma lucidum extract (GLE). Our results demonstrated that GLE alleviated cellular oxidative stress, reduced the abnormal increase of mitochondrial ROS in aging cells, and maintained mitochondrial membrane integrity and inner membrane potential. Additionally, GLE affected mitochondrial biogenesis in aging cells. In a murine photoaging model, GLE treatment mitigated UVA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction while markedly attenuating UVA-triggered epidermal thickening and dermal protein depletion. These properties may be interrelated with the presence of abundant triterpenoids identified by LC-MS analysis.

The function of fermented and non fermented bamboo-derived feed additives in poultry nutrition is critically assessed in this review, with emphasis on the effects on growth performance, immunity, intestinal health, egg and meat quality. Fermented bamboo feeds have become a promising nutritional innovation in poultry production. The use of bamboo leaves and tender shoots in chicken feed is limited due to the presence of lignin and cellulose.

Endometrial cancer, a common malignancy of the female reproductive system, has a rising incidence and complex clinical management due to its diverse molecular subtypes. This review examines the molecular mechanisms underlying EC, particularly the roles of the Bcl-2 family in apoptosis regulation and estrogen receptor signaling in tumor progression. We explore pharmacological interventions targeting these pathways, including BH3 mimetics and selective estrogen receptor modulators, which show promise but face challenges such as resistance and adverse effects.

Ganoderma lucidum extract (GLE) has neuro-therapeutic and anticonvulsant effects. This study aimed to evaluate the potential neuroprotective and antioxidant effects of ethanolic extract on pentylenetetrazol-induced brain damage in male Wistar rats and to analyze behavioral manifestations in vivo. Seizure latency, duration, and severity were measured in PTZ-treated rats according to the Racine scale; thus, oxidative stress markers, malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), and catalase catalytic activity were measured by the 2-thiobarbituric acid, Griess reagent, and hydrogen peroxide methods, respectively.
