Coxsackievirus B3 Infection Triggers Autophagy through 3 Pathways of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress
ConclusionCVB3 infection induced autophagy through ER stress in HeLa cells, and PERK, IRE1, and ATF6a pathways participated in the regulation of autophagy. Our data suggested that ER stress may inhibit mTOR signaling pathway to induce autophagy during CVB3 infection. (Source: Biomedical and Environmental Sciences)

Sodium 4-phenylbutyrate Attenuates High-fat Diet-induced Impaired Spermatogenesis
ConclusionHFD exposure induced detrimental effects on spermatogenesis, semen quality, serum T level, and testicular cell apoptosis in rats. Treatment with 4-PBA ameliorated HFD-induced impaired spermatogenesis via inhibition of apoptosis in rats. 4-PBA may have therapeutic value in the treatment of obesity-related impairment of spermatogenesis.
