Effects of different chronic restraint stress periods on anxiety- and depression-like behaviors and tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism along the brain-gut axis in C57BL/6N mice

17 views | Feb 10 2024

Prolonged chronic stress induces anxiety and depression-like behaviors while altering the tryptophan-kynurenine metabolism in a manner that shifts towards neurotoxicity, highlighting the complex impact of stress duration on behavior and neurochemistry in mice. [Read the Full Post]

Human CYP1B1 enzyme-mediated, AhR enhanced activation of aflatoxin B1 for its genotoxicity in human cells

17 views | Dec 21 2023

This study demonstrates that human CYP1B1 metabolically activates aflatoxin B1 through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling pathway, resulting in increased genotoxic effects in human hepatocytes and lymphoblastoid cells. [Read the Full Post]

Role of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor and Oxidative Stress in the Regioselective Toxicities of Hydroxychrysenes in Embryonic Japanese Medaka (Oryzias latipes)

90 views | Jun 23 2023

The study suggests that the toxicity of 2-hydroxychrysene (2-OHCHR) in embryonic Japanese medaka is mediated by aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation, up-regulation of cytochrome P450 enzymes, and the generation of reactive oxygen species, leading to anemia and mortality. [Read the Full Post]

Investigation of gait, balance and lower extremity muscle activity during walking in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy using wearable sensors

61 views | Apr 10 2023

The study found that wearable sensors can detect changes in gait, balance, and lower extremity muscle activity in patients with CSM compared to age-matched healthy controls, suggesting potential for diagnosis and monitoring of CSM disease using wearable technology. [Read the Full Post]
