Apple procyanidins promote mitochondrial biogenesis and proteoglycan biosynthesis in chondrocytes
Apples are well known to have various benefits for the human body. Procyanidins are a class of
polyphenols found in apples that have demonstrated effects on the circulatory system and skeletal
organs. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a locomotive syndrome that is histologically characterized by cartilage degeneration associated with the impairment of proteoglycan homeostasis in chondrocytes. However, no useful therapy for cartilage degeneration has been developed to date. In the present study, ...

Anti-Fatigue Effects of Small Molecule Oligopeptides Isolated from Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer in Mice
Abstract: Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (ginseng) is an edible and medicinal Chinese herb, which
is often used in Asian countries for physical fitness. Ginseng is reported to have a wide range
of biological activity and pharmaceutical properties. There were more studies on ginsenosides
and polysaccharides, but fewer studies on ginseng oligopeptides (GOP), which are small molecule
oligopeptides isolated from ginseng. The present study was designed to evaluate the anti-fatigue
effects of ...

A Critical Assessment of the Therapeutic Potential of Resveratrol Supplements for Treating Mitochondrial Disorders
Abstract: In human cells, mitochondria provide the largest part of cellular energy in the form
of adenosine triphosphate generated by the process of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).
Impaired OXPHOS activity leads to a heterogeneous group of inherited diseases for which therapeutic options today remain very limited. Potential innovative strategies aim to ameliorate mitochondrial function by increasing the total mitochondrial load of tissues and/or to scavenge the ...

The Role of Urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin in Predicting Acute Kidney Dysfunction in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis
Abstract
Background: Early detection of acute kidney dysfunction (AKD) in cirrhotic patients is crucial. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) has been identified as an early marker of AKD. The aim of the study was to evaluate serial uNGAL as a marker and predictor of AKD in liver cirrhosis patients. Methods: Serial uNGAL and serum creatinine (sCr) levels were measured daily during the first 6 days of admission. Furthermore, ...

The Relationship between Maternal Nutrition during Pregnancy and Offspring Kidney Structure and
Function in Humans: A Systematic Review
Abstract
The intrauterine environment is critical for fetal growth and organ development. Evidence from animal models indicates that the developing kidney is vulnerable to suboptimal maternal nutrition and changes in health status. However, evidence from human studies are yet to be synthesised. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to systematically review current research on the relationship between maternal nutrition during pregnancy and ...

Relationship between Nutritional Status and Gastrointestinal Symptoms in Geriatric Patients
with End-Stage Renal Disease on Dialysis
Abstract
Gastrointestinal symptoms (GIS) are common in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and are associated with nutritional risks resulting from low food intake. Little is known about the relationship between GIS and malnutrition in geriatric patients with ESRD. The main objective of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status and severity of GIS in geriatric patients on dialysis therapy. Clinically-stable ...
