QUERCETIN ENHANCES MOTILITY IN AGED AND HEAT-STRESSED CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS NEMATODES BY MODULATING BOTH HSF-1 ACTIVITY, AND INSULIN-LIKE AND P38-MAPK SIGNALLING.

Quercetin enhances motility in aged and heat-stressed Caenorhabditis elegans nematodes by modulating both HSF-1 activity, and insulin-like and p38-MAPK signalling.

Quercetin is a yellow pigment that is found in many common dietary plants, and that protects against oxidative stress, inflammation, and arteriosclerosis.It has also been suggested to prolong the lifespan of, and enhance heat-stress tolerance in nematodes; thus, the present study investigated its effects on both the nematode life- and health span b

Relative abundance of Akkermansia spp. and other bacterial phylotypes correlates with anxiety- and depressive-like behavior following social defeat in mice

Abstract As discussion of stress and stress-related disorders rapidly extends beyond the brain, gut microbiota have emerged as a promising contributor to individual differences in the risk of illness, disease course, and treatment response.Here, we employed chronic mild social defeat stress and 16S rRNA gene metagenomic sequencing to investigate th

Fractionated extraction of polyphenols from mate tea leaves using a combination of hydrophobic/ hydrophilic NADES

A new methodology for the selective extraction of antioxidants from mate tea leaves (and decaffeinated mate tea leaves), using different natural deep eutectic systems (NADES), is reported in this paper.A fractionated extraction was carried out and the optimization of the extraction conditions such as solid/liquid ratio, temperature, time, stirring

Design of electromagnetic cloak with sequentially connected rectangular split ring resonators for S-band applications

An electromagnetic (EM) invisible cloak is designed and analyzed with serially interconnected split ring resonators (SRRs).The cloak consists of an array of a network of split ring resonators which Mullein operates at a 3 GHz resonating frequency.The split ring resonators are connected with transmission line and are wrapped around the cylindrical o
