Curcumin as Therapeutic Modulator of Impaired Antioxidant Defense System: Implications for Oxidative Stress-Associated Reproductive Dysfunction by Tuba Latif Virk, Qi Liu, Yuguo Yuan, Xianyu Xu, Fenglei Chen

“…Recent studies demonstrated the protective role of curcumin against oxidative stress and the inflammatory response, primarily through the upregulation of key antioxidant enzymes (including SOD, CAT and GPx), a reduction in oxidative stress markers (e.g., ROS, MDA) and by suppressing the pro-inflammatory signaling pathways (such as NF-kB, JAK/STAT) while activating the NRF2/HO-1 pathway to further enhance the cellular antioxidant defense. …”

Oxidative stress-related biomarkers in thyroid eye disease: evidence from bioinformatics analysis and experimental validation by Yuanping Hai, Yuanping Hai, Qintao Ma, Zhitao Liu, Dongxiao Li, Anqi Huang, Yan Zhu, Duan Yongbo, Cheng Song, Genfeng Yu, Sijie Fang, Lan Liu, Yi Wang, Yi Wang, Thomas Efferth, Jie Shen

“…The nomogram model developed using the selected genes showed good predictive performance for TED risk assessment. Immunohistochemical validation confirmed significant upregulation of FOS, MCL1, and ANGPTL7 in TED versus controls.ConclusionsTo the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to identify three oxidative stress-related genes/proteins as potential biomarkers for TED through bioinformatic analysis of multi-omics data followed by immunohistochemical validation, providing new insights into their roles in the pathogenesis of the disease. …”

Selection and Characterisation of Elite <i>Mesorhizobium</i> spp. Strains That Mitigate the Impact of Drought Stress on Chickpea by María Camacho, Francesca Vaccaro, Pilar Brun, Francisco Javier Ollero, Francisco Pérez-Montaño, Miriam Negussu, Federico Martinelli, Alessio Mengoni, Dulce Nombre Rodriguez-Navarro, Camilla Fagorzi

“…Two commercial cultivars (Pedrosillano and Blanco Lechoso) and twenty chickpea germplasms were tested under growth chamber and greenhouse conditions, both with and without drought stress. Initial screening in a sterile substrate using nodulation assays, shoot/root dry weight measurements, and acetylene reduction assays identified three elite strains (ISC11, ISC15, and ISC25) with superior symbiotic performance and nitrogenase activity. …”

Work stress related lipid disorders and arterial hypertension in professional drivers: A cross-sectional study by Đinđić Nataša, Jovanović Jovica, Đinđić Boris, Jovanović Milan, Pešić Milica, Jovanović Jovana J.

“…The study provides the evidence for the significant association of total OSI and underload with lipid disorders and elevated blood pressure in professional drivers, which could be a possible link between job stress and coronary heart disease. Regular periodical examinations and workplace interventions aimed to decrease total OSI and underload are important aspects in primary prevention and additional reduction of cardiovascular risk. …”

Melatonin regulated through GhTDC5 enhances tryptophan decarboxylase against drought stress in cotton by Xin Yu, Xiugui Chen, Ning Wang, Maohua Dai, Zhining Yang, Yapeng Fan, Yuping Sun, Xinrui Zhang, Ruize Song, Menghao Zhang, Hao Lan, Fange Wu, Hui Huang, Xiao Chen, Lidong Wang, Xuke Lu, Shuai Wang, Lixue Guo, Junjuan Wang, Lanjie Zhao, Keyun Feng, Jing Jiang, Wuwei Ye

“…Functional characterization of GhTDC5 in Gossypium hirsutum was performed using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS), with the following key findings: gene silencing efficiency reached 67.5%, leading to a significant 50.31% reduction in melatonin content. Under drought stress, silenced plants exhibited a 46.56% decrease in leaf water content, 23.01% reduction in chlorophyll content, and more severe wilting symptoms compared to controls. …”

Genetic Evaluation of Growth Traits in Black-Boned and Thai Native Synthetic Chickens Under Heat Stress by Wootichai Kenchaiwong, Doungnapa Promket, Vatsana Sirisan, Vibuntita Chankitisakul, Srinuan Kananit, Wuttigrai Boonkum

“…However, the Thai native synthetic chickens consistently exhibited higher genetic potential across all THI levels (average heritability: BW = 0.28, ADG = 0.25, AGR = 0.36) compared to the black-boned chickens (average heritability: BW = 0.21, ADG = 0.15, AGR = 0.23). Under mild heat stress (THI72), black-boned chickens showed sharp declines in all traits (average reduction in BW = −10.9 g, ADG = −0.87 g/day, AGR = −3.20 g/week), whereas Thai native synthetic chickens maintained stable performance. …”
