EXPLORING THE NEUROPROTECTIVE POTENTIAL OF DESMODIUM SPECIES: INSIGHTS INTO RADICAL SCAVENGING CAPACITY AND MECHANISMS AGAINST 6-OHDA-INDUCED NEUROTOXICITY

Exploring the Neuroprotective Potential of Desmodium Species: Insights into Radical Scavenging Capacity and Mechanisms against 6-OHDA-Induced Neurotoxicity

In this study, we collected seven prevalent Taiwanese Desmodium plants, including three species with synonymous characteristics, in order to assess their antioxidant phytoconstituents and radical scavenging capacities.Additionally, we compared their inhibitory activities on monoamine oxidase (MAO) and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) auto-oxidation.Subse

Association of preoperative ultrasonographic parameters of the contralateral kidney with long-term serum creatinine in cats treated for unilateral ureteral obstruction

IntroductionPrediction of renal recovery after surgical management of feline unilateral ureteral obstruction (UO) is crucial to guide therapeutic decisions, but predictors of this outcome are still lacking.Despite the functional importance of the contralateral kidney, there is currently no precise description of its ultrasonographic (US) features.I
