Does the lipid peroxidation end-product and oxidant 4-hydroxynonenal induce insulin resistance in rat slow-twitch skeletal muscle?
The lipid peroxidation end-product and oxidant 4-HNE induces insulin resistance of glucose transport activity in rat slow-twitch skeletal muscle, initially associated with impaired phosphorylation of AS160.
Administration of aqueous extract of Yellow Maca to adult female mice increases the litter size. Moreover, this treatment increases the uterine weight in ovariectomized animals. Our study confirms for the first time some of the traditional uses of Maca to enhance female fertility.
