Summary: This study demonstrated the protective effect of CBD on myocardial injury in mice subjected to exhaustive exercise training. The mechanism may involve the activation of the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, leading to anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and antioxidant effects. These findings are important for understanding the mechanism of exercise-induced myocardial injury and developing potential therapeutic interventions.

Summary: This study successfully produced a high-protein aquaculture feed rich in healthy microorganisms by fermenting fish waste using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus reuteri strains, supplemented with lemon peel as a prebiotic. The resulting feed had adequate levels of protein and crude lipids, with no detection of coliform bacteria at the end of fermentation.

Summary: This study characterized jaboticaba peel using spectrophotometry and chromatography, and assessed its effects on mice with inflammation-driven colorectal cancer (CRC). Freeze-dried jaboticaba peel (FDJP) exhibited high antioxidant capacity and was found to contain cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, gallic acid, and ellagic acid. FDJP added to the diet completely prevented the formation of adenocarcinoma, reduced histological damage, and lowered the levels of proinflammatory markers. These beneficial effects may be attributed to the anthocyanins and phenolic acids present in FDJP.

Summary: The effects of lemon and pomelo peel extracts on Indian white prawns during storage were investigated, showing enhanced antioxidant activity and extended shelf life. Lemon peel extract exhibited higher total phenolic content, total antioxidant capacity, and ferric-reducing antioxidant power compared to pomelo peel extract. Overall, both extracts have the potential to be natural preservatives for maintaining shrimp quality.

Summary: The study focused on analyzing the extraction of pectin from lemon peel using ohmic heating and comparing it with traditional pectin production. It was found that extraction conditions such as temperature and holding time affected pectin yield, with higher temperatures and longer holding times resulting in increased yields. The ohmic heating-assisted extraction process showed similar pectin yields to traditional methods under certain conditions, indicating it can be a viable alternative.

Summary: This study found that fermented lemon peel can help reduce obesity by regulating the inflammatory response. The fermented lemon peel supernatant can inhibit weight gain in obese mice, improve liver and adipose tissue lesions, and regulate blood lipids, liver function, and inflammation-related indicators. In addition, fermentation increases the content of compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity effects.
