Furthermore, limonin increased the protein expression of Sirt1. Sirt1 siRNA transfection confirmed that limonin activated Nrf2 antioxidative pathway and inhibited NF-κB inflammatory response by upregulating Sirt1. Finally, we established APAP-induced liver injury in vivo and demonstrated that limonin alleviated APAP-induced hepatotoxicity by activating Nrf2 antioxidative signals and inhibiting NF-κB inflammatory response via upregulating Sirt1. CONCLUSION In summary, this study documented that limonin mitigated APAP-induced hepatotoxicity by activating Nrf2 antioxidative pathway and inhibiting NF-κB inflammatory response via upregulating Sirt1, and demonstrated that limonin had therapeutic promise in APAP-induced liver injury. We report the results of a semi-quantitative peptide analysis of decomposition fluid under field-based conditions in the absence of a soil matrix. Sixteen domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) cadavers were used to model human decomposition in trials conducted in the summer and winter months in Western Australia. Physical characteristics were recorded and targeted peptide components of decomposition fluid were analysed using high performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Principal component analysis identified 29 peptides, originating from haemoglobin subunits alpha and beta, creatine kinase, beta-enolase and lactate dehydrogenase, that contributed to differences in the mean peak areas of samples collected during the early period of decomposition (days 6-12 and day 2 in winter and summer, respectively) and during the later period (days 24-34 and days 8-10 in winter and summer, respectively). Fold changes for 8 peptides between these periods were significantly different. Three peptis time) for peptides derived from s
