TL;DR: The thioredoxin (Trx) system is a major antioxidant system integral to maintaining the intracellular redox state and contains Trx, a redox active protein, which regulates the activity of various enzymes including those that function to counteract oxidative stress within the cell.
Abstract: The thioredoxin (Trx) system is a major antioxidant system integral to maintaining the intracellular redox state. It contains Trx, a redox active protein, which regulates the activity of various enzymes including those that function to counteract oxidative stress within the cell. Trx can also scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and directly inhibits proapoptotic proteins such as apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1). The oxidized form of Trx is reduced by thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). The cytoplasm and mitochondria contain equivalent Trx systems and inhibition of either system can lead to activation of apoptotic signaling pathways. There are a number of inhibitors with chemotherapy applications that target either Trx or TrxR to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) is effective against many cancer cells and functions by up-regulating an endogenous inhibitor of Trx. Other compounds target the selenocysteine-containing active site of TrxR. These include gold compounds, platinum compounds, arsenic trioxide, motexafin gadolinium, nitrous compounds, and various flavonoids. Inhibition of TrxR leads to an accumulation of oxidized Trx resulting in cellular conditions that promote apoptosis. In addition, some compounds also convert TrxR to a ROS generating enzyme. The role of Trx system inhibitors in cancer therapy is discussed in this review.

TL;DR: Evidence from animal and human trials indicates that bone responds positively to impact activities and high intensity progressive resistance training, and the optimisation of muscle strength, balance and mobility minimises the risk of falls.

TL;DR: This review applies lessons learned from the literature on microplastics in the aquatic environment and knowledge on current wastewater treatment technologies to identify the research gaps in terms of (i) the fate of microplastic in WWTPs, (ii) the potential interaction of wastewater-basedmicroplastics with trace organic contaminants and metals, and (iii) the risk for aquatic organisms.

TL;DR: Food literacy may play a role in shaping adolescents’ dietary intake and evidence recommends public health practitioners and policy makers consider new public health strategies that focus on increasing understanding of food literacy in adolescence.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present systematic review was to investigate the evidence on the association between food literacy and adolescents' dietary intake. DESIGN: The review included searches of six databases with no restriction on the year of publication or language. SETTING: The studies eligible for review were from five countries/regions: USA (n 6), Europe (n 4), Australia (n 1), Middle East (n 1) and South Africa (n 1). SUBJECTS: Adolescents aged 10 to 19 years. RESULTS: Thirteen studies were eligible for inclusion. None of the studies investigated all aspects of food literacy. Eight studies reported a positive association between food literacy and adolescents' dietary intake. For example, adolescents with greater food knowledge and frequent food preparation behaviours were shown to have healthier dietary practices. Three studies found a mixed association of food literacy and adolescents' dietary intake. For example, adolescents who frequently helped to prepare dinner had healthier dietary intake, but food shopping tasks were associated with less healthy food choices. Two studies found no association between measures of food literacy and adolescents' dietary intake. CONCLUSIONS: Food literacy may play a role in shaping adolescents' dietary intake. More rigorous research methods are required to effectively assess the causality between food literacy and adolescents' dietary intake in order to confirm the extent of the relationship. Evidence recommends public health practitioners and policy makers consider new public health strategies that focus on increasing understanding of food literacy in adolescence.OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present systematic review was to investigate the evidence on the association between food literacy and adolescents' dietary intake.
