Salidroside protects mice from high-fat diet-induced obesity by modulating the gut microbiota
Int Immunopharmacol. 2023 May 14;120:110278. doi: 10.1016/j.intimp.2023.110278. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTObesity is a systemic disease with multisystem inflammation associated with gut dysbiosis. Salidroside (SAL) which is a major glycoside extracted from Rhodiola rosea L. has a wide range of pharmacological effects, but the role of gut microbiota in the protective effects of SAL on obesity has not been studied. Herein, we aim to explore whether SAL could ameliorate high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity in mice by modulating microbiota. Results showed that oral treatment with SAL alleviated HFD-induced obesity in mice a...

Rhodiola rosea and Salidroside commonly induce hormesis, with particular focus on longevity and neuroprotection
Chem Biol Interact. 2023 May 9:110540. doi: 10.1016/j.cbi.2023.110540. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe biological effects of Rhodiola rosea extracts and one of its major constituents, Salidroside, were evaluated for their capacity to induce hormesis/hormetic effects. The findings indicate that the Rhodiola rosea extracts and Salidroside commonly induce hormetic dose responses within a broad range of biological models, cell types and across a broad range of endpoints, with particular emphasis on longevity and neuroprotective endpoints. This paper represents the first integrative documentation and assessment of Rhodiola ro...

Rhodiola wallichiana var.cholaensis protects against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by attenuating oxidative stress-mediated apoptosis via enhancing Nrf2 signaling
The present study aimed to explore the cardioprotective effects of Rhodiola wallichiana var.cholaensis (RW) against hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-induced H9c2 cell injury and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced myocardial injury. Following treatment with RW, H9c2 cells were subjected to 4  h of hypoxia/3 h of reoxygenation. MTT assay, LDH assay, and flow cytometry were employed to detect cell viability and changes of ROS and mitochondrial membrane potential. Moreover, after RW treatment, rats underwent 30 min of ischemia, followed by 120 min of reperfusion. (Source: International Journal of Cardiology)

Tyrosol attenuates lipopolysaccharide ‑induced inflammation in HUVECs to promote vascular health against atherosclerosis challenge
Exp Ther Med. 2023 Apr 6;25(5):240. doi: 10.3892/etm.2023.11939. eCollection 2023 May.ABSTRACTThe role of vascular endothelial cells in acute and chronic vascular inflammatory response has long been recognized. Therefore, persistent vascular inflammation may lead to endothelial dysfunction, thus resulting in the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the expression of adhesion molecules, which in turn promote monocyte/macrophage adhesion. Inflammation serves a key role in the development of vascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis. Tyrosol is a natural polyphenolic compound with diverse biological functions, found in ...

The ovarian-related effects of polystyrene nanoplastics on human ovarian granulosa cells and female mice
This study aimed to explore the effects of NPs on female reproduction using human ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) and female mice. The accumulation of polystyrene NPs (PS-NPs) in human granulosa-like tumor cells (KGN cells) and the ovaries of female Balb/c mice were evaluated by exposure to fluorescent PS-NPs. Proliferation and apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and Hippo signaling pathway-related factors were analyzed in KGN cells. In addition, fertility rate, litter size, ovarian weight and microstructure, follicle development, serum level of anti-Mullerian hormone, and apoptosis in ovaries were examined in female m...
