Agaricus bisporus polysaccharide ABP alleviates X-ray-induced spermatogonial injury via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway: toward a novel dietary radioprotectant.

Polysaccharides from edible mushrooms are promising dietary ingredients for functional foods due to their potent antioxidant and cytoprotective activities.

Polysaccharides from edible mushrooms are promising dietary ingredients for functional foods due to their potent antioxidant and cytoprotective activities. Given the scarcity of safe and effective dietary strategies against X-ray-induced male reproductive system damage, this …

Leonurine Attenuates Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Through PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway in Mouse Liver.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury complicates transplantation, resection, and shock, yet lacks effective pharmacotherapy.

Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury complicates transplantation, resection, and shock, yet lacks effective pharmacotherapy. We evaluated Leonurine (SCM-198) as a hepatoprotective agent. Male C57BL/6 mice were pretreated with SCM-198 for 7 days, then subjected to hepatic …

Does Ginseng Slow Aging? A Small Study on Telomeres and Cellular Energy in Middle-Aged Adults

Researchers gave ginseng supplements to 50 overweight middle-aged adults in two groups and found associations with longer telomeres, higher NAD+ levels, and improvements in sleep and fatigue scores.

Researchers gave ginseng supplements to 50 overweight middle-aged adults in two groups and found associations with longer telomeres, higher NAD+ levels, and improvements in sleep and fatigue scores. However, the study is very small, lacks …

How polyamines control aging: New insights into a cellular anti-aging mechanism

This review synthesizes evidence that polyamines—small molecules that naturally decline with age—regulate multiple aging pathways including oxidative stress, gene expression, and protein synthesis. While animal studies show spermidine supplementation extends lifespan, human evidence remains limited, …
