Glycine improves peritoneal vasoreactivity to dialysis solutions in the elderly by Zakaria, El Rasheid

“…Methods:We studied PDS-mediated vasoreactivity of four intestinal visceral arterioles of different orders by in vivo intravital microscopy in weaned, adult, and elderly rats to (i) confirm subordinate vasoreactivity to PDS in elderly rats; (ii) restore vasoreactivity by glycine supplementation; and (iii) establish age as an independent risk factor for endothelial cell dysfunction. …”

Phytochemicals as Micronutrients: What Is their Therapeutic Promise in the Management of Traumatic Brain Injury? by Al-Haj, Nadine

“…In this regards, phytochemicals have been acknowledged to cause a significant decrease in neuronal injury through different mechanisms including the activation of the Nrf2 transcription factor leading to activation of several antioxidant enzyme systems such as superoxide dismutase, inhibition of NADPH oxidases (NOX) enzymes, suppression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) activity and reduction of the release of inflammatory mediators, suppression of the NLRP3 inflammasome, stimulation of neurogenesis by activating neurotrophic factors (BDNF), among others. …”
