Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common clinical condition associated with increased incidence and mortality rates. Hederasaponin C (HSC) one of the main active components Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel. HSC possesses various pharmacological activities, including anti‐inflammatory activity. However, protective effect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced AKI in mice remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated LPS‐induced renal inflammation underlying molecular mechanisms. Herein, using MTT LDH assays to assess both cell viability activity; dual staining techniques identify different death patterns; conducting immunoblotting, QRT‐PCR, immunofluorescence analyses evaluate levels protein mRNA expression; employing docking, SPR experiments, CETSA investigate interaction between TLR4; studying effects AKI. The results indicate that inhibits expression TLR4 activation NF‐κB PIP2 signaling pathways, while simultaneously suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome. In animal models, ameliorated diminished inflammatory response level markers. These findings suggest has potential as therapeutic agent mitigate sepsis‐related

Abstract Proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines play a crucial role in regulating the inflammatory response, which is essential for proper functioning of our immune system. When infections or threats to body’s defense mechanisms are detected, innate system takes lead. However, an excessive response can lead production high concentrations cytotoxic molecules, resulting tissue damage. Inflammasomes significant contributors immunity, one most extensively studied inflammasome complexes NOD-like receptor 3 (NLRP3). NLRP3 has wide range recognition that streamline activation eliminate pathogens. These cytosolic multiprotein composed effector, adaptor, sensor proteins, identifying intracellular bacterial breakdown products initiating cascade.

With the prevalence of obesity and overweight increasing at an alarming rate, more researchers are focused on identifying effective weight loss strategies. The ketogenic diet (KD), used as a treatment in epilepsy management for over 100 years, is additionally gaining popularity method. Although its efficacy well documented, areas where it may be beneficial to other dietary approaches need carefully examined. objective this paper identify potential benefits KD alternative strategies based comprehensive literature review. It has been shown that bioenergetically efficient than strategies, inter alia owing effect curtailing hunger, improving satiety decreasing appetite (influence hunger hormones sensation hunger), inducing faster initial (associated with lower glycogen levels reduced water retention), controlling glycaemia insulinemia (directly attributable low-carbohydrate nature indirectly described). These effects accompanied by improved insulin sensitivity, inflammation (through ketone bodies avoidance pro-inflammatory sugars), pharmacological control (the diet’s mechanisms similar those medication but without side effects), positive impacts psychological factors food addiction.
