Journal ArticleDOI

Overview of Beneficial Effects of (Poly)phenol Metabolites in the Context of Neurodegenerative Diseases on Model Organisms.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of different model organisms that have been used to study how low molecular weight (poly)phenol metabolites affect neuronal related mechanisms gathering critical insight on their potential to tackle the major hallmarks of neurodegeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyphenols and Their Metabolites in Renal Diseases: An Overview

TL;DR: An overview of the published data regarding the potential beneficial effects of polyphenols on major kidney diseases, namely acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, renal cancer, and drug-induced nephrotoxicity is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing the Intestinal Permeability and Anti-Inflammatory Potential of Sesquiterpene Lactones from Chicory.

TL;DR: The SL with the highest anti-inflammatory potential was 11β,13-dihydrolactucin, which inhibited up to 54% of Calcineurin-responsive zinc finger activation, concomitantly with the impairment of the nuclear accumulation of Crz1, the yeast orthologue of human NFAT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of Yap2 activity by MAPKAP kinase Rck1 affects yeast tolerance to cadmium.

TL;DR: It is suggested that in response to cadmium stress Yap2 may serve a dual purpose: oxidative stress attenuation and cell wall maintenance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mediator, SWI/SNF and SAGA complexes regulate Yap8-dependent transcriptional activation of ACR2 in response to arsenate.

TL;DR: It is here reported for the first time the essential role of the Mediator complex in the transcriptional activation of ACR2 by Yap8, and an order-of-function map is proposed to recapitulate the sequence of events taking place in cells injured with arsenate.
