therapeutic action: circadian rhythm regulation

Nutrients and Nutraceuticals from Vitis vinifera L. Pomace: Biological Activities, Valorization, and Potential Applications

Wine production generates millions of tons of grape pomace (the leftover skins, seeds, and stems) annually, which has traditionally been discarded as waste. This review shows that grape pomace is actually rich in valuable nutrients and compounds like polyphenols and fiber that provide significant health benefits including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and disease-fighting properties. By using grape pomace in functional foods, supplements, and cosmetics, the wine industry can reduce waste while creating sustainable products that promote human health.

The Stress of Fungicides Changes the Expression of Clock Protein CmFRQ and the Morphology of Fruiting Bodies of Cordyceps militaris

Researchers treated a medicinal mushroom (Cordyceps militaris) with antifungal drugs at non-lethal doses and found that this stress affected the mushroom’s internal clock and fruiting body development. Interestingly, while most fungicides caused the fruiting bodies to degenerate, one drug (5-fluorocytosine) surprisingly rejuvenated degenerated strains. The effects persisted even after removing the drugs, suggesting fungicides cause lasting changes to the mushroom’s circadian rhythm.
