The mitochondria: A target of polyphenols in the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy by Bhagani, Humna

“…The most important intermediates by which polyphenols exert their protective effect include Bcl-2, UCP2, SIRT-1, AMPK and JNK1. Bcl-2 acts to attenuate apoptosis, UCP2 decreases oxidative stress, SIRT-1 increases mitochondrial biogenesis and decreases oxidative stress, AMPK increases autophagy, and JNK1 decreases apoptosis and increases autophagy. …”

Degraded Arid Soil Reclamation for Cotton Cultivation Using Organic Waste Amendments by Kogbara, Reginald

“…Hence, this work investigates the potential of utilizing nutrient-rich resources that are currently wasted for the reclamation of degraded arid soils to support the cultivation of industrial crops such as cotton (Gossypium spp.). Two abundant organic wastes, industrial biosludge and cow dung compost, were employed as soil amendments at a 3% application rate on a silty loam soil with relatively high salinity (electrical conductivity = 5.60 dS/m) and compared with conventional chemical fertilization. …”
