Mutations in Homocysteine Metabolism Genes Increase Keratin N-Homocysteinylation and Damage in Mice by Kamila Borowczyk, Jacek Wróblewski, Joanna Suliburska, Noriyuki Akahoshi, Isao Ishii, Hieronim Jakubowski

“…N-Hcy-keratin was elevated 3.5-, 6.3-, and 11.7-fold in hair from Mthfr−/−, Cse−/−, or Cbs−/− mice, respectively. The accumulation of N-Hcy in hair keratin led to a progressive reduction of N-Hcy-keratin solubility in sodium dodecyl sulfate, from 0.39 ± 0.04 in wild-type mice to 0.19 ± 0.03, 0.14 ± 0.01, and 0.07 ± 0.03 in Mthfr−/−, Cse−/−, or Cbs−/−animals, respectively. …”

Investigating the Biological Impact of Melatonin on Male Albino Mice: A Comprehensive Characterization by Hanan H. ALQaragholy

“…The aim of this study was to see how Mel generated from Ziziphus spina-christi leaves affected thyroid, liver enzymes, and lipid profiles in male albino mice. Twenty male mice were divided into four groups, each containing five mice, and were administered intraperitoneally (i.p) injections of Mel in three doses (4, 7 and 10 mg/ml), except for the control group, which received only a dose of normal saline solution. …”
