Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 5624: Apitherapy in Post-Ischemic Brain Neurodegeneration of Alzheimer & rsquo;s Disease Proteinopathy: Focus on Honey and Its Flavonoids and Phenolic Acids
Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 5624: Apitherapy in Post-Ischemic Brain Neurodegeneration of Alzheimer’s Disease Proteinopathy: Focus on Honey and Its Flavonoids and Phenolic Acids Molecules doi: 10.3390/molecules28155624 Authors: Ryszard Pluta Barbara Miziak Stanisław J. Czuczwar Neurodegeneration of the brain after ischemia is a major cause of severe, long-term disability, dementia, and mortality, which is a global problem. These phenomena are attributed to excitotoxicity, changes in the blood–brain barrier, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, vasoconstriction, cerebral amyloid angiopathy,...

Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma: A comprehensive review of its chemical composition, pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and toxicity
Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma (ATR, Shi Chang Pu in Chinese), a natural product with multiple targets in various diseases. This review provides the comprehensive summary of the chemical composition, pharmacological effects, pharmacokinetics parameters and toxicity of ATR. The results indicated that ATR possesses a wide spectrum of chemical composition, including volatile oil, terpenoids, organic acids, flavonoids, amino acids, lignin, carbohydrates and so on. Accumulating evidence from various studies has shown that ATR exerts a wide range of pharmacological properties, including protecting nerve cells, alleviating learning an...

Sphingosine 1-phosphate and its regulatory role in vascular endothelial cells
We presently review the levels of S1P in those vascular and vascular-related diseases. Plasma S1P levels were reduced in various inflammation-related diseases such as atherosclerosis and sepsis, but were increased in other diseases including type 2 diabetes, neurodegeneration, cerebrovascular damages such as acute ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, angina, heart failure, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, community-acquired pneumonia, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Then, we highlighted the molecular mechanism by which S1P regulated EC biology including vascular development and angiogenesis, inflammation, p...

Effects of uric acid on oxidative and nitrosative stress and other related parameters in SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells.
Uric acid (UA) is the end -product of purine catabolism in humans and higher primates and comprises about 65% of the total antioxidant capacity of plasma [1]. Urate circulates in humans at concentrations that are near its limit of solubility and many times higher than those in most other mammals. In patients with ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke which is a leading cause of disability and the second most common cause of dementia, UA reduces the incidence of early clinical deterioration and improves outcomes compared to placebo [2].

Effect of Ergothioneine on 7-Ketocholesterol-Induced Endothelial Injury
AbstractErgothioneine (ET) is a naturally occurring antioxidant that is synthesized by non-yeast fungi and certain bacteria. ET is not synthesized by animals, including humans, but is avidly taken up from the diet, especially from mushrooms. In the current study, we elucidated the effect of ET on the hCMEC/D3 human brain endothelial cell line. Endothelial cells are exposed to high levels of the cholesterol oxidation product, 7-ketocholesterol (7KC), in patients with cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and this process is thought to mediate pathological inflammation. 7KC induces a dose-dependent loss of cell viability and ...

Antioxidant treatment in acute ischemic stroke may delay the onset of Alzheimer's dementia
(Bentham Science Publishers) There is a considerable overlap between vascular risk factors and risk factors of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In addition, incident stroke approximately doubles the risk of developing AD. Oxidative stress is significantly involved in the pathogenesis of AD and suffers a dramatic increase in the setting of acute ischemic stroke, especially in cardioembolic stroke, followed by lacunar stroke. Dampening this oxidative burst could delay the onset of subsequent dementia in stroke survivors.

Oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and cerebrovascular disease with therapeutic implications.
Abstract The significant gain in life expectancy led to an increase in the incidence and prevalence of dementia. Although vascular risk factors have long and repeatedly been shown to increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), translating these findings into effective preventive measures has failed. In addition, the finding that incident ischemic stroke approximately doubles the risk of a patient to develop AD has been recently reinforced. Current knowledge and pathogenetic hypotheses of AD are discussed. The implication of oxidative stress in the development of AD is reviewed, with special emphasis on its sudd...

Mediterranean diet: The role of long-chain ω-3 fatty acids in fish; polyphenols in fruits, vegetables, cereals, coffee, tea, cacao and wine; probiotics and vitamins in prevention of stroke, age-related cognitive decline, and Alzheimer disease.
Authors: Román GC, Jackson RE, Gadhia R, Román AN, Reis J Abstract The mechanisms of action of the dietary components of the Mediterranean diet are reviewed in prevention of cardiovascular disease, stroke, age-associated cognitive decline and Alzheimer disease. A companion article provides a comprehensive review of extra-virgin olive oil. The benefits of consumption of long-chain ω-3 fatty acids are described. Fresh fish provides eicosapentaenoic acid while α-linolenic acid is found in canola and soybean oils, purslane and nuts. These ω-3 fatty acids interact metabolically with ω-6 fatty acids mainly linoleic...
