Impact of hydroxytyrosol on stroke: tracking therapy response on neuroinflammation and cerebrovascular parameters using PET-MR imaging and on functional outcomes
Conclusion: An HT-enriched diet significantly increased the number of Iba-1+ microglia/macrophages in the post-ischemic area, inducing higher expression of anti-inflammatory markers while no clear-cut effect was observed. Also, HT did not affect recovery of the cerebrovascular parameters, including ADC and CBF.Altogether, our data indicated that a prolonged dietary intervention with HT, as a single component of the Mediterranean diet, induces molecular changes that may improve stroke outcomes. Therefore, we support the use of the Mediterranean diet as a multicomponent therapy approach after stroke.

A specific dietary intervention to restore brain structure and function after ischemic stroke
Occlusion of the middle cerebral artery (MCAo) is among the most common causes of ischemic stroke in humans. Cerebral ischemia leads to brain lesions existing of an irreversibly injured core and an ischemic boundary zone, the penumbra, containing damaged but potentially salvageable tissue. Using a transient occlusion (30 min) of the middle cerebral artery (tMCAo) mouse model in this cross-institutional study we investigated the neurorestorative efficacy of a dietary approach (Fortasyn) comprising docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, uridine, choline, phospholipids, folic acid, vitamins B12, B6, C, and E, and seleni...

Inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 attenuates neuronal apoptosis following focal cerebral ischemia via apolipoprotein E receptor 2 downregulation in hyperlipidemic mice.
Abstract The inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) protects a variety of cell types against neuronal apoptosis by binding to apolipoprotein E receptor 2 (ApoER2). The present study aimed to determine the association between PCSK9/ApoER2 signaling and neuronal apoptosis following middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) injury in hyperlipidemic mice. For this purpose, C57BL/6 mice fed with a high‑fat diet (HFD) for 6 weeks were exposed to MCAO. Subsequently, PCSK9 was inhibited by a lentiviral vector harboring short‑hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting PCSK9, which was stereotaxically in...

Association of a genetic variant in the AKT gene locus and cardiovascular risk factors.
Authors: Kermanshahi F, Ghazizadeh H, Hussein NA, Amerizadeh F, Samadi S, Tayefi M, Kamel Khodabandeh A, Moohebati M, Ebrahimi M, Esmaily H, Sahebi R, Abdulkarimi R, Mousavi SAR, Ferns GA, Avan A, Ghayour-Mobarhan M Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVDs) is the leading cause of morbidity and death worldwide. Most genetic variants could be identified by several genome-wide-association-studies (GWAS), including within genes encoding proteins involved in the AKT/PI3K pathways that are related with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome and CVDs. Therefore, due to the importance of genetic variants in the prognosis of...

APOE in the bullseye of neurodegenerative diseases: impact of the APOE genotype in Alzheimer's disease pathology and brain diseases
Mol Neurodegener. 2022 Sep 24;17(1):62. doi: 10.1186/s13024-022-00566-4.ABSTRACTApoE is the major lipid and cholesterol carrier in the CNS. There are three major human polymorphisms, apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4, and the genetic expression of APOE4 is one of the most influential risk factors for the development of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Neuroinflammation has become the third hallmark of AD, together with Amyloid-β plaques and neurofibrillary tangles of hyperphosphorylated aggregated tau protein. This review aims to broadly and extensively describe the differential aspects concerning apoE. Starting from the evolut...

The effect of bempedoic acid an ATP-citrate lyase inhibitor on cardiovascular risk factors in rats with experimentally induced myocardial infarction and hyperlipidemia
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand). 2022 Sep 30;68(10):94-99. doi: 10.14715/cmb/2022.68.10.15.ABSTRACTControl of hyperlipidemia is believed to reduce major cardiovascular events such as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, hospitalization for unstable angina, and coronary revascularization. The benefits of monotherapy with Bempedoic acid (BA) as a hypolipidemic agent given after induction of myocardial infarction (MI) in reducing the risk of acute MI worth being investigated, therefore this study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of Bempedoic acid on reducing cardiovascular risk factors in ...

The Link between Magnesium Supplements and Statin Medication in Dyslipidemic Patients
Curr Issues Mol Biol. 2023 Apr 5;45(4):3146-3167. doi: 10.3390/cimb45040205.ABSTRACTMany investigations have discovered a connection between statins and magnesium supplements. On one hand, increasing research suggests that chronic hypomagnesemia may be an important factor in the etiology of some metabolic illnesses, including obesity and overweight, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, alterations in lipid metabolism, and low-grade inflammation. Chronic metabolic problems seem to be prevented by a high Mg intake combined with diet and/or supplements. On the other hand, it is known that statins low...
