[HTML][HTML] Herbs in exercise and sports

CK Chen, AS Muhamad, FK Ooi - Journal of physiological anthropology, 2012 - Springer
The use of herbs as ergogenic aids in exercise and sport is not novel. Ginseng, caffeine, ma
huang (also called 'Chinese ephedra'), ephedrine and a combination of both caffeine and …

[PDF][PDF] Tau aggregates are RNA-protein assemblies that mislocalize multiple nuclear speckle components

E Lester, FK Ooi, N Bakkar, J Ayers, AL Woerman… - Neuron, 2021 - cell.com
Tau aggregates contribute to neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia
and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although RNA promotes tau aggregation in vitro, whether …

[PDF][PDF] Neuronal serotonin release triggers the heat shock response in C. elegans in the absence of temperature increase

MC Tatum, FK Ooi, MR Chikka, L Chauve… - Current Biology, 2015 - cell.com
Background Cellular mechanisms aimed at repairing protein damage and maintaining
homeostasis, widely understood to be triggered by the damage itself, have recently been shown …

[HTML][HTML] Bone mechanical properties and mineral density in response to cessation of jumping exercise and honey supplementation in young female rats

SS Tavafzadeh, FK Ooi, CK Chen… - BioMed research …, 2015 - hindawi.com
This study investigated effects of cessation of exercise and honey supplementation on bone
properties in young female rats. Eighty-four 12-week-old Sprague-Dawley female rats were …

Multiple system atrophy prions transmit neurological disease to mice expressing wild-type human α-synuclein

SAM Holec, J Lee, A Oehler, FK Ooi, DA Mordes… - Acta …, 2022 - Springer
In multiple system atrophy (MSA), the protein α-synuclein misfolds into a prion conformation
that self-templates and causes progressive neurodegeneration. While many point mutations …

Serotonin signaling by maternal neurons upon stress ensures progeny survival

S Das, FK Ooi, J Cruz Corchado, LC Fuller, JA Weiner… - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Germ cells are vulnerable to stress. Therefore, how organisms protect their future progeny
from damage in a fluctuating environment is a fundamental question in biology. We show that …

Olfactory experience primes the heat shock transcription factor HSF-1 to enhance the expression of molecular chaperones in C. elegans

FK Ooi, V Prahlad - Science signaling, 2017 - science.org
Ooi and Prahlad found that previous experience of the odor of a pathogenic bacterium
enhanced the pathogen avoidance response of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In …

The effects of combined probiotic ingestion and circuit training on muscular strength and power and cytokine responses in young males

NS Ibrahim, AS Muhamad, FK Ooi… - Applied Physiology …, 2018 - cdnsciencepub.com
To our knowledge, the efficacy of combined probiotic supplementation with circuit training
has not been evaluated. Thus, we investigated the effects of probiotic supplementation …

[HTML][HTML] The E46K mutation modulates α-synuclein prion replication in transgenic mice

…, L Batia, A Wiggins-Gamble, J Lau, FK Ooi… - PLoS …, 2022 - journals.plos.org
In multiple system atrophy (MSA), the α-synuclein protein misfolds into a self-templating prion
conformation that spreads throughout the brain, leading to progressive neurodegeneration…

Cellular clearance of circulating transthyretin decreases cell-nonautonomous proteotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans

…, J Chapman, X Jiang, FK Ooi… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Cell-autonomous and cell-nonautonomous mechanisms of neurodegeneration appear to
occur in the proteinopathies, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. However, how …
