Active ingredients and mechanisms of peony seed blended oil in diabetes treatment using Kunming mice: Insights from GC–MS, network pharmacology, and experimental verification by Yuning Gu, Fengliang Zhong, Tiantian Sun, Zirui Chang

“…The results showed that the optimal blend ratio of peony seed oil to soybean and rapeseed oils was 60:27:11, which significantly inhibited α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities. Network pharmacology and molecular docking revealed that α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid are key active compounds, targeting PPARG and MAPK3, primarily through the PPAR and IL17 signaling pathways. …”

Acylated Ghrelin Renders Chemosensitive Ovarian Cancer Cells Resistant to Cisplatin Chemotherapy via Activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR Survival Pathway by Attalla Farag El-kott, Ali A. Shati, Mohammed Ali Al-kahtani, Sultan Alqahtani

“…Interestingly, pre-incubating the cells with either [D-Lys3]-GHRP-6 or LY294002 completely abolished the above-mentioned effect of AG in both control and Cis-treated cells. In conclusion, the findings of this study show that AG promotes cell survival of the OC cells and renders them resistat to Cis therapy, an effect that is mediated by the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR and activation of NF-κB, and requires GHS-R1a.…”
