The intervention of curcumin on rodent models of hepatic fibrosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis. by Yun-Hang Chu, Bing-Yao Pang, Ming Yang, Qi Meng, Yan Leng

“…<h4>Methods</h4>A systematic retrieval of relevant studies on curcumin intervention in rats or mice hepatic fibrosis models was conducted, and the data were extracted. The outcome indicators included liver cell structure and function related indicators, such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), albumin (ALB), ratio of albumin to globulin (A/G), total bilirubin (TBIL), bax protein, bcl-2 protein and index of liver, as well as the relevant indicators for evaluating the degree of hepatic fibrosis, such as hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), type I collagen (Collagen I), type III collagen (Collagen III), type III procollagen (PCIII), type III procollagen amino terminal peptide (PIIINP), type IV collagen (IV-C), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), α-Smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), hydroxyproline (HYP), platelet derived factor-BB (PDGF-BB), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and oxidative stress-related indicators, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). …”

How to safeguard soil health against silver nanoparticles through a microbial functional gene-based approach? by Sandhya Mishra, Xiaodong Yang

“…Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), a major anthropogenic stressor, can threaten soil health by disrupting vital microbial processes critical to maintaining key soil functions such as nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and soil structure formation. Their safe use demands proactive strategies to preserve soils, a globally essential and non-renewable resource that acts as the ultimate sink for nanoparticles released into ecosystems. …”
