Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) is a stone fruit widely consumed and appreciated for its organoleptic properties, as well as its nutraceutical potential. We here investigated the characteristics of six non-commercial Tuscan varieties of sweet cherry maintained at the Regional Germplasm Ba...
Cycloleucine (CL) is a methyl donor inhibitor. Our previous findings showed that CL could affect meiotic maturation and developmental potency of porcine oocytes by reducing nucleic acid N6-methyladenosine (m6A) epigenetic modification level. However, the effects of CL on porcine male reproduction...
Poria cocos, a traditional medicinal fungus, exhibits a wide array of biological activities. Through the integration of metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses, we have determined that the development of Poria cocos mycelia is predominantly propelled by biochemical reactions triggered by oxidativ...
Melatonin (MT), a neurohormone synthesized and secreted primarily by the pineal gland, is of vital function to animal reproduction. However, the effect of MT treatment on porcine immature Sertoli cells (iSCs) remains unclear. Here, MT treatment (10 nM, 36 h) could elevate mitochondrial function a...
Zingerone, a component of dried ginger, has known anti-ulcer and bone growth-promoting effects, but its impact on postmenopausal osteoporosis (PO) is unclear. This study investigates the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanisms of zingerone in PO. A concentration-dependent effect identifie...
