Journal ArticleDOI
MERS-CoV infection in humans is associated with a pro-inflammatory Th1 and Th17 cytokine profile.
TL;DR: A prominent pro‐inflammatory Th1 and Th17 response was clearly seen in patients with MERS‐CoV infection, with markedly increased concentrations of IFN‐&ggr;, TNF‐&agR;, IL‐15 and IL‐17 compared to controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
The neuroprotective effect of vitamin E on chronic sleep deprivation-induced memory impairment: the role of oxidative stress.
TL;DR: It is revealed that chronic sleep deprivation impaired both (short- and long-term) memories (P<0.05), while vitamin E treatment prevented such effect, probably through its antioxidant action in the hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin E prevents high-fat high-carbohydrates diet-induced memory impairment: the role of oxidative stress.
TL;DR: It is revealed that high-fat high-carbohydrate diet induces memory impairment, and the administration of vitamin E prevented this impairment probably through normalizing antioxidant mechanisms in the hippocampus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The combined effect of sleep deprivation and Western diet on spatial learning and memory: role of BDNF and oxidative stress.
TL;DR: The combination of sleep deprivation and Western diet decreases BDNF levels and increases oxidative stress in the hippocampus, thus inducing memory impairment that is greater than the impairment produced by each factor alone.
