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. …”

Association between antioxidant metabolites and N-terminal fragment brain natriuretic peptides in insulin-resistant individuals. by Anwardeen, Najeha

“…Moreover, we revealed notable associations between NT-proBNP levels and antioxidant metabolic pathways, particularly those related to glutathione metabolism, in insulin-resistant, but not insulin-sensitive individuals. The significant decrease in NT-proBNP observed in individuals with insulin resistance may be attributed to a direct or indirect enhancement in glutathione production, which is regarded as a compensatory mechanism against oxidative stress. …”
