Effect of Germination and Illumination on Melatonin and Its Metabolites, Phenolic Content, and Antioxidant Activity in Mung Bean Sprouts. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 11:plants11212990. [PMID: 36365443 PMCID: PMC9654080 DOI: 10.3390/plants11212990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Revised: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 05/14/2023]
Abstract
Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) sprouts are increasingly consumed and have become part of a healthy diet. The sprouts are composed of proteins, carbohydrates, and biochemical compounds. During germination, the phytochemical compounds are significantly elevated, especially under stress conditions such as salinity, drought, extreme temperature, and illumination. The present study examined the effects of light and germination time on the bioactive compounds in mung bean sprout extracts. Mung bean seeds were sprouted under different light exposure conditions, and the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of sprout extracts were determined compared to seeds. The results show that tryptophan sharply decreased during germination. On the contrary, melatonin, polyphenols, and total phenolic content (TPC) were elevated with increased germination time, correlated with increased antioxidant activity. Sprouts germinated in the dark presented higher levels of melatonin and TPC compared with those germinated under 12 h light exposure (3.6- and 1.5-fold, respectively). In conclusion, germination can enhance valuable phytochemicals and antioxidant activity of mung bean sprouts. Mung bean sprouts may be a good alternative functional food for promoting human health.

Abstract
In order to find out the effect of melatonin implantation on physiological responses, hormonal profile, feed intake and growth performance, 12 growing Murrah buffaloes were selected. These animals were further divided equally in two groups i.e. control and treatment (melatonin implantation @ 18 mg/50 kg body wt.). Melatonin was implanted subcutaneously in the thoracic region after every 45 days' interval in treatment group. Body weight and physiological parameters, viz. respiration rate (RR), rectal temperature (RT), pulse rate (PR) were recorded at fortnightly interval. Blood samples were also collected aseptically from both the group of animals at fortnightly intervals and plasma was separated for quantitation of hormones. The physiological responses were found to be significantly lower in treatment group than control group of growing buffaloes. The levels of growth and cortisol hormones were higher in treatment than control group. No significant variation was observed in the IGF-I levels. The melatonin implantation improved the growth rate, ADG and feed intake of growing buffaloes than control group. Based on the results of the present study, it is evident that melatonin implantation to growing buffaloes worked as an antioxidant and lowered the stress levels and enhanced growth rate during heat stress. Higher growth rate in treatment group of growing buffaloes will help in reducing the age of puberty and ultimately increase the total productive life.

Abstract
We attempted to establish a novel parameter of behaviour consistency to help determine the effect of age on physical activity. Using the speed of movement to quantify behaviour might not be sufficient to determine this effect. The slowing of motor activities that occurs with aging is related to the decline of the aging brain. Previous studies have found different running-related hippocampal theta rhythm responses in the aging and exercise model. Therefore, we hypothesized that a familiarity with the environment and physical strength affect behavioural consistency in rats during running exercises. For this study, we used a treadmill and 30-minute running test at constant speeds and compared changes in the triaxial accelerometer and hippocampal theta rhythm between adult and middle-aged rats. No significant differences in RR intervals, mean cross-correlations (MCCs), or the proportion of good correlation coefficient (PGCC) were observed between adult and middle-aged rats in awake states before running on the treadmill. The root mean square (RMS) of the triaxial acceleration vectors in middle-aged rats was higher than that in adult rats. In the treadmill running tests, the RMS observed in middle-aged rats was significantly lower than that observed in adult rats. MCC and PGCC, which indicate movement consistencies, were significantly higher in middle-aged rats than they were in adult rats during the entire running test. However, only the RMS of the adult rats showed a negative correlation with exercise duration. Both MCC and PGCC were positively correlated with exercise duration. By contrast, a similar phenomenon was not found in the changes or differences in hippocampal theta rhythms between these two groups. Therefore, we consider that the MCC and PGCC could distinguish age-related movement differences and indicate coordination/adaptation during exercise. Changes in physical activity and alterations in the hippocampal theta rhythm were not different between the groups.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate the differences in the topological organization of functional brain networks between children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and those with idiopathic short stature (ISS). METHODS Thirty-one children with GHD and fifty-three children with ISS were recruited based on the results of GH stimulation tests. Resting-state fMRI data were acquired from all children. Whole brain functional connectivity density (FCD) analysis and subsequent seed-based functional connectivity analysis were used to explore the differences in functional brain networks between the children with ISS and GHD. Correlation analyses among the results of clinical laboratory examinations, neuropsychological scales and FCD values of different brain regions were applied. RESULTS Compared with the ISS group, the GHD group exhibited significantly decreased FCDs in the left postcentral gyrus, right precentral gyrus and left cerebellar lobules 7b and 6. The subsequent functional connectivity analysis found decreased functional connectivity between lobules 7b and 6 of the left cerebellum as well as the left postcentral gyrus and right precentral gyrus in the GHD group compared to that in the ISS group. In addition, the FCD values of region 6 of the left cerebellum in the GHD group were negatively correlated with the scores on the Symptom Checklist-90 and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. The FCD value of the left postcentral gyrus in children with ISS positively correlated with IGFBP-3 levels and was approximately correlated with IGF-1 levels. CONCLUSIONS These findings highlight the impact of growth hormone deficiency on the brain network that mainly involves the somatosensory, somatic motor and cerebellum networks, which may contribute to the behavioural problems observed in these children.

Melatonin ameliorates cognitive memory by regulation of cAMP-response element-binding protein expression and the anti-inflammatory response in a rat model of post-traumatic stress disorder. BMC Neurosci 2018; 19:38.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an important psychological disease that can develop following the physical experience or witnessing of traumatic events. The psychopathological response to traumatic stressors increases inflammation in the hippocampus and induces memory deficits. Melatonin (MTG) plays critical roles in circadian rhythm disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurological disorders. However, the cognitive efficiency of MTG and its mechanisms of action in the treatment of PTSD remain unclear. Thus, the present study investigated the effects of MTG on spatial cognitive impairments stimulated by single prolonged stress (SPS) in rats, an animal model of PTSD. Male rats received intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of various doses of MTG for 21 consecutive days after the SPS procedure. RESULTS SPS-stimulated cognitive impairments in the object recognition task and Morris water maze were reversed by MTG treatment (25 mg/kg, i.p). Additionally, MTG significantly increased cognitive memory-related decreases in cAMP-response element-binding (CREB) protein and mRNA levels in the hippocampus. Our results also demonstrate that MTG significantly inhibited SPS-stimulated cognitive memory impairments by inhibiting the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the rat brain. CONCLUSION The present results indicate that MTG can be beneficial for SPS-stimulated memory impairments via changes in CREB expression and proinflammatory mediators. Thus, MTG may be a prophylactic strategy for the prevention or mitigation of the progression of some features of the PTSD pathology.
