TL;DR: Quercetin prevents progression of emphysema in elastase/LPS-treated mice by reducing oxidative stress, lung inflammation and expression of MMP9 and MMP12 in vivo and in vitro.

TL;DR: It is concluded that Rac1-dependent NOX1 activity is required for RV- or poly(I:C)-induced ROS generation, which in turn disrupts the barrier function of polarized airway epithelia, and suggests that dsRNA generated during RV replication is sufficient to disrupt barrier function.

TL;DR: The data revealed a number of novel features of melatonin production undetected using conventional techniques, which include (1) large inter-individual variations ofMelatonin onset timing; (2) circadian regulation of serotonin synthesis and secretion in the pineal gland; and (3) a revised view on the rate-limiting step ofmelatonin formation in vivo.

TL;DR: Pre-incubation with melatonin accelerates the action of MIH on the formation of a complex of two proteins (MPF), a regulatory component called cyclin B and the catalytic component protein kinase known as cyclin-dependent kinase, Cdk1 on carp oocyte maturation.

TL;DR: The purpose of this short review is to bring together the current knowledge on the biological effects of melatonin on fish reproduction mainly focusing on carp.
