Assessment of Lab4P Probiotic Effects on Cognition in 3xTg-AD Alzheimer’s Disease Model Mice and the SH-SY5Y Neuronal Cell Line

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested a probiotic supplement called Lab4P on mice genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer’s-like symptoms and on human brain cells exposed to damaging proteins. The supplement successfully improved memory and cognitive function in the mice while protecting brain cells from damage, with stronger benefits when the mice were also on a high-fat diet. These findings suggest that probiotics might help prevent or slow cognitive decline related to Alzheimer’s disease.

Fungal β-Glucans: Biological Properties, Immunomodulatory Effects, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications

mycolabadmin

β-glucans are beneficial compounds found in fungi and some plants that help your body in multiple ways. They boost your immune system, lower cholesterol and blood sugar, protect against oxidative stress, and may help fight cancer and infections. Recent research shows they could be useful as diagnostic markers for fungal infections and as vaccine boosters, especially for diseases like COVID-19.

Antioxidant and Enzyme Inhibitory Potential of Streptomyces sp. G-18 Grown in Various Media

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied bacteria called Streptomyces that were isolated from high mountains in Nepal to see if they could produce useful compounds. They grew these bacteria in four different types of growth media and tested the resulting extracts for antioxidant properties and ability to block harmful enzymes. They found that the choice of growth medium significantly affected what compounds the bacteria produced, with one medium (R2YE) being especially effective at producing compounds that could help treat diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes.

Enhancing the Yield of Pleurotus ostreatus Through the Addition of Nucleotides and Nucleosides

Researchers discovered that adding nucleotides and nucleosides to oyster mushroom growing medium significantly increases mushroom yield and nutritional value. These compounds enhanced the dietary fiber and amino acid content while helping the mushrooms break down tough plant materials more efficiently. The study suggests that nucleosides are particularly effective and could provide a simpler, safer alternative to traditional mushroom cultivation methods that involve lengthy composting processes.

Traditional Chinese Medicine uses various herbs and plant compounds to treat Type 2 diabetes by improving how the body controls blood sugar and protects the pancreas. Many common TCM herbs like ginseng, rehmannia, and coptis work through natural mechanisms that reduce inflammation, protect cells from damage, and improve how the body uses insulin. Research shows TCM may also help prevent or reduce diabetes-related complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, and nerves. These herbal treatments offer potential benefits with fewer side effects compared to conventional medications.

A Systematic Review on Important Risk Factors and Possible Involved Mechanisms of Medicinal Plants on Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review examined 43 medicinal plants that can help prevent and treat fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is increasingly common in developed countries. Most of these plants work by reducing cholesterol and triglycerides, helping with weight management, improving blood sugar control, and lowering blood pressure. The plants contain natural compounds like flavonoids and polyphenols that reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the liver. Using these herbal supplements alongside other lifestyle changes may offer a promising natural approach to managing NAFLD and its related conditions.
