Rats given salmon collagen peptides after C-section had stronger uterine tissue that could withstand more pressure, reducing the risk of rupture during future pregnancies.
Rats given a specific dose of salmon collagen peptides after C-section surgery healed faster with stronger skin wounds compared to rats not given the peptides.
Rats with PCOS received L-arginine at 3.5 mg per kilogram daily for three weeks.
Rats with PCOS were given licorice extract at a dose of 150 mg per kilogram for three weeks.
Scientists caused PCOS in rats by giving them a specific dose of letrozole for three weeks.
After damaging the eye tissue with enzymes, the special peptide reduced broken collagen levels compared to a saline solution, as seen with a fluorescent marker.
When rats' eye tissues were treated with collagen-breaking enzymes, there was more broken collagen detected by a special fluorescent marker compared to normal tissue.
After damaging the inner optic nerve head tissue with enzymes, adding saline solution slightly increased stiffness by about 13% compared to the damaged state.
After damaging the inner optic nerve head tissue with enzymes, the special peptide restored stiffness by nearly 50% compared to the damaged state.
In the inner part of the eye's optic nerve head, collagen-breaking enzymes caused a 57% drop in stiffness compared to normal.
After damaging the eye tissue with enzymes, adding a saline solution (vehicle) made the stiffness drop even more by about 26% compared to the damaged state.
After damaging the eye tissue with collagen-breaking enzymes, applying a special peptide helped restore some stiffness, increasing it by about 23% compared to the damaged state.
When rats' eye tissue was treated with an enzyme that breaks down collagen, the stiffness of the outer part of the eye decreased by almost 40% compared to normal.
When airway muscle cells are grown with allergen-activated asthma eosinophils, the fluid around them has about 50% more TGF-β1 protein than when grown with non-activated eosinophils.
Eosinophils from asthma patients already produce more TGF-β1 protein than healthy people even before allergen exposure.
In asthma patients, the number of eosinophils in blood increases from 0.34 to 0.52 billion per liter within 24 hours after allergen exposure.
In asthma patients, the number of eosinophils in sputum nearly doubles from 5.5% to 13.3% within 24 hours after allergen exposure.
Blocking eosinophil adhesion molecules with RGDS peptide reduces collagen and fibronectin gene activity in airway muscle cells to levels seen with healthy eosinophils.
Whether asthma eosinophils are activated by allergens or not, they don't change the activity of the WNT-5A gene in airway muscle cells.
Airway muscle cells grown with allergen-activated asthma eosinophils produce nearly 5 times more fibronectin gene activity than when grown with healthy eosinophils.
Airway muscle cells grown with allergen-activated asthma eosinophils produce over 5 times more collagen I gene activity than when grown with healthy eosinophils.
When airway muscle cells are grown with allergen-activated asthma eosinophils, the fluid around them has about twice as much TGF-β1 protein as when grown with healthy eosinophils.
When eosinophils from asthma patients are exposed to allergens, they produce about 1.58 times more TGF-β1 protein compared to before exposure, which may contribute to inflammation.
When older men with muscle loss take collagen supplements during strength training, gaining muscle is more closely linked to losing fat compared to those taking a placebo.
