Cooled semen storage methods result in oxidative stress generated by an imbalance between oxidation rates, specifically reactive oxygen species production, and sperm cell antioxidants, leading to degradation of quality. We aimed investigate the impact adding Eurycoma longifolia (EL) extract as antioxidant supplement medium (IGGKPh extender) on quality fertility potential. EL at concentrations 5, 10, 15, 20 mg/mL was assessed for its capacity IGGKPh extender. Our findings revealed that total phenolic content did not vary significantly across various temperatures tested. However, incubation 5°C found be most effective temperature increasing via 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl inhibition assay a dose-dependent manner.

Mitochondria are vital organelles in eukaryotic cells that control diverse physiological processes related to energy production, calcium homeostasis, the generation of reactive oxygen species, and cell death. Several studies have demonstrated structural functional mitochondrial disturbances involved development different neuroinflammatory (NI) neurodegenerative (ND) diseases (NI&NDDs) such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s Huntington’s amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Remarkably, counteracting impairment by genetic or pharmacologic treatment ameliorates neurodegeneration clinical disability animal models these diseases. Therefore, nanosystems enabling sustained selective delivery mitochondria-targeted drugs is a novel effective strategy tackle NI&NDDs.

Acute myocardial ischemia is one of the major causes illness in western society. Reduced coronary blood supply leads to cell death and loss cardiomyocyte population, resulting serious often irreversible consequences on function. Mitochondrial potassium (mitoK) channels have been identified as fine regulators mitochondrial function and, consequently, metabolism whole cell, mechanisms underlying cardioprotection. Interestingly, mitoK represent a novel putative target for treating cardiovascular diseases, particularly infarction, their modulators an interesting tool pharmacological intervention. In this review, we took up challenge selecting flavonoids that show cardioprotective properties through activation channels.A brief overview main information participation induction cytoprotective processes was provided.
