TL;DR: It is demonstrated that inhibition of Akt, p38MAPK and ERK1/2 as well as down-regulation of Nox1 by siRNA prevented senescence induced by Ang II, and that Ang II-inducedsenescence is attenuated by BL polyphenols through a Nox 1-dependent mechanism and by RB and BRB polyphenol in a NOx1-independent manner, likely by increasing the cellular antioxidant capacity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that dried plum in its whole form is a promising and efficacious functional food therapy for preventing bone loss in postmenopausal women, with the potential for long-lasting bone-protective effects.

TL;DR: Daily consumption of blueberries for 4 weeks, but not 8 weeks, attenuated a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage in pre- and stage 1-hypertensive postmenopausal women.

TL;DR: It is suggested that daily tart cherry consumption may attenuate processes involved in accelerated atherogenesis without affecting hemodynamics or arterial stiffness parameters in this population of men and women with MetS.

TL;DR: A role for the GSTM1 enzyme in the modulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and protective metabolites in CKD is supported and treatment with Tempol rescued kidney injury in knockout mice without lowering BP.
