The Polyherbal Functional Ingredient Containing Ginger, Chinese Date, and Wood Ear Mushroom Protects against Dementia following Metabolic Syndrome
This study was performed to test this hypothesis and to explore the underlying mechanism. Male Wistar rats weighing 180-220 g were induced metabolic syndrome (MetS) with a 16-week high-carbohydrate high-fat diet (HCHF) feeding. The rats with MetS characteristics were orally administered GCJ at various doses (GCJ100, GCJ200, and GCJ300 mg kg-1 BW) 21 days pre-induction and 21 days post-induction of reperfusion injury (I/R) at the right middle cerebral artery (MCAO). Memory was evaluated every 7 days during the study period. At the end of the study, neuron density, AChE activity, and the expressions of eNOS, BDNF, and pERK/E...

Eukaryotic initiation factor 6 repression mitigates atherosclerosis progression by inhibiting macrophages expressing Fasn
AbstractAtherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease that often leads to myocardial infarction and stroke, is mainly caused by lipid accumulation. Eukaryotic initiation factor 6 (Eif6) is a rate-limiting factor in protein translation of transcription factors necessary for lipogenesis. To determine whetherEif6 affects atherosclerosis,Eif6+/ − mice were crossed intoApoe −/− background.Apoe −/−/Eif6+/− mice on high fat diet showed significant reduction in atherosclerotic lesions and necrotic core content in aortic root sections in comparison withApoe −/− mice. RNA-Seq was used to investigate the effect of E...

CLOCK disruption aggravates carotid artery stenosis through endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced endothelial-mesenchymal transition.
In conclusion, the disruption of CLOCK function aggravates EndMT via the IRE1α-XBP1 axis, contributing to carotid artery stenosis. PMID: 33437367 [PubMed]
