Dietary taurine supplementation ameliorates diabetic retinopathy via anti-excitotoxicity of glutamate in streptozotocin-induced Sprague-Dawley rats.
Xiaoping Yu,Xiaoping Yu,Zhaoxia Xu,Mantian Mi,Hongxia Xu,Jundong Zhu,Na Wei,Ka Chen,Qianyong Zhang,Kaihong Zeng,Jian Wang,Fang Chen,Yong Tang +12 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that chronic taurine supplementation ameliorates diabetic retinopathy via anti-excitotoxicity of glutamate in rats, and effectively improved diabetic Retinopathy as changes of histopathology and ultrastructure.

Na Wei,Bin Wang,Qianyong Zhang,Mantian Mi,Jundong Zhu,Xiaoping Yu,Jia-Ling Yuan,Ka Chen,Jian Wang,Hui Chang +9 more
TL;DR: 1:1 n-6/n-3 in the diet is effective in the prevention of mammary tumor development by increasing the n-3 PUFA content and reducing the expression of lipid metabolic-related genes.

BRCA1 overexpression sensitizes cancer cells to lovastatin via regulation of cyclin D1-CDK4-p21WAF1/CIP1 pathway: analyses using a breast cancer cell line and tumoral xenograft model
Xiaoping Yu,Yuan-Qiong Luo,Yong Zhou,Qianyong Zhang,Jing Wang,Na Wei,Man-Tian Mi,Jundong Zhu,Bin Wang,Hui Chang,Yong Tang +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that BRCA1 overexpression sensitizes cancer cells to lovastatin via regulation of cyclin D1-CDK4-p21WAF1/CIP1 pathway, which will provide an innovative experimental framework to study control of breast cancer cell proliferation.
Dietary taurine reduces retinal damage produced by photochemical stress via antioxidant and anti-apoptotic mechanisms in Sprague-Dawley rats
TL;DR: Dietary taurine reduced retinal damage produced by photochemical stress via antioxidant and anti-AP-1-NF-kappaB-caspase-1 apoptotic mechanisms in rats, and effectively prevented retinal photochemical damage as assessed by changes of morphology.
Structurally related anticancer activity of flavonoids: involvement of reactive oxygen species generation
Hui Chang,Mantian Mi,Wen-hua Ling,Jundong Zhu,Qianyong Zhang,Na Wei,Yong Zhou,Yong Tang,Xiaoping Yu,Tin Zhang,Jian Wang,Jialin Yuan +11 more
TL;DR: This study revealed structurally related anticancer activities of 23 flavonoids on HL-60 cells and indicated that 3,6-dihydroxyflavone, luteolin and geraldol were active anticancer compounds via pro-oxidation and apoptosis induction.
