The growing concern of chlorpyrifos exposures on human and environmental health

Nilay Kumar Nandi et al.

Summary: Chlorpyrifos and its toxic metabolites can cause various toxic effects such as AChE inhibition, oxidative stress, and endocrine disruption, posing serious risks to humans and the environment. Significant progress has been made in replacing chlorpyrifos, and different antidote mechanisms are discussed for the prevention and treatment of poisoning. Understanding the pesticide activity and toxicity dose of chlorpyrifos is crucial for managing its potential harmful effects.

Betulinic Acid Protects DOX-Triggered Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy Response through the GATA-4/Calcineurin/NFAT Pathway

Jung Joo Yoon et al.

Summary: The study showed that DOX induces cardiac hypertrophy in H9c2 cells, but BA treatment can suppress these pathological responses and inhibit ROS generation. In addition, BA also blocks the phosphorylation of JNK, ERK, and p38, and improves the GATA-4 and calcineurin/NFAT-3 signaling pathway activation induced by DOX in H9c2 cells. Furthermore, BA treatment reduces DOX-induced cell apoptosis and regulates the protein expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, and cleaved caspase-3/-9.

Anti-atherosclerotic activity of Betulinic acid loaded polyvinyl alcohol/methylacrylate grafted Lignin polymer in high fat diet induced atherosclerosis model rats

Juan Zhang et al.

Summary: The study aimed to improve the bioavailability of betulinic acid by loading it onto a nanopolymer prepared with polyvinyl alcohol, lignins, and methyl acrylate. The nanoformulation showed no cytotoxic effects in normal endothelial cells and decreased inflammation through the down-regulation of NF kappa B and MAP/JNK signaling molecules. In vivo results confirmed the nanoformulation's effectiveness in reducing hypercholesterolemia, inflammation, and vasoconstriction induced by a high-fat diet.
