Alleviation of allelochemical stress-induced growth inhibition and oxidative damage in lettuce under closed hydroponics through electro-degradation

Successive lettuce cultivation in closed hydroponics using the same nutrient solution causes the excess production and accumulation of allelochemicals.The accumulated allelochemicals induce oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation in plants leading to growth inhibition.In this study, we investigated the allelochemicals that induced oxidative damage

Untargeted and Targeted Metabolomics Reveal the Active Peptide of Eupolyphaga sinensis Walker against Hyperlipidemia by Modulating Imbalance in Amino Acid Metabolism

The active peptide (APE) of Eupolyphaga sinensis Walker, which is prepared by bioenzymatic digestion, has significant antihyperlipidemic effects in vivo, but its mechanism of action on trailmaster challenger 200x hyperlipidemia is not clear.Recent studies on amino acid metabolism suggested a possible link between it and hyperlipidemia.In this study
