MEHP, AhR, and Ovarian Follicle Toxicity
2026-09-10
A 2024 Biology of Reproduction study identifies aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation as a functional mediator of mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate toxicity in mouse ovarian antral follicles. Pharmacological blockade with CH 223191 partially restored follicle growth, estrogen production, and estrogen-responsive gene expression, providing a useful mechanistic framework for reproductive environmental toxicology research.

Aminopeptidase Selectivity in ACE Inhibitor Research
2026-09-09
The 1992 reference study directly compared how bestatin, aminopeptidase inhibitors, and several ACE-inhibitor chemotypes affect the cell-surface zinc aminopeptidases AP-A, AP-N, and AP-W. Its central contribution is a clearer separation of inhibitor selectivity, showing that some biological or clinical effects attributed to a compound may reflect activity at an unintended aminopeptidase.

L. plantarum P101 and AMPK in Alcoholic Steatosis
2026-09-07
A 2025 mouse study shows that Lactiplantibacillus plantarum P101 reduced alcohol-induced hepatic lipid accumulation in association with AMPK activation. Pharmacological AMPK inhibition weakened these effects, while gut microbiota profiling and serum metabolomics identified microbial taxa and stercobilinogen as candidate components of the gut–liver mechanism.
