Sulforaphane Delays Fibroblast Senescence by Curbing Cellular Glucose Uptake, Increased Glycolysis, and Oxidative Damage by Florence Hariton (18629764)

“…Increased glucose entry into glycolysis in fibroblast senescence is mainly mediated by increased hexokinase-2. SFN delayed senescence by decreasing glucose metabolism on the approach to senescence, exhibiting a caloric restriction mimetic-like activity and thereby decreased oxidative damage to cell protein and DNA. …”

Hippocampal Programmed Cell Death after Status Epilepticus by Abi-Habib, Ralph J.

“…Methods: In adult rats, KA-induced SE resulted in DNA fragmentation documented at 30 h after KA injection. Ceramide, a known mediator of PCD in multiple neural and nonneural tissues, increased at 2–3 h after KA intraperitoneal injection, and then decreased to control levels before increasing again from 12 to 30 h after injection. …”
