Involvement of Nrf2 and Keap1 in the activation of antioxidant responsive element (ARE) by chemopreventive agent peptides from soft-shelled turtle

TL;DR: It is concluded that Glu-Asp-Tyr-Gly-Ala (EDYGA) is the most potent ARE-luciferase inducer and helpful in understanding the antioxidant activity of peptides from soft-shelled turtle.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Vitro Characterisation of the Antioxidative Properties of Whey Protein Hydrolysates Generated under pH- and Non pH-Controlled Conditions

TL;DR: Variation in the profiles of the peptides released may explain the observed differences in the antioxidant activity of whey protein hydrolysates in oxidatively stressed HepG2 cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular docking of anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac with metabolic targets: Potential applications in cancer therapeutics.

TL;DR: The nature of molecular interactions of diclofenac with selected targets involved in cancer cell metabolism, pH homeostasis, chemosensitivity, cell signalling and inflammation are characterized for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of new benzoxazolone/benzothiazolone derivatives as multi-target agents against Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: In this article, four series of compounds with benzoxazolone and benzothiazolone cores were designed, synthesized and evaluated as multifunctional agents against Alzheimer's disease.

Acer okamotoanum and isoquercitrin improve cognitive function via attenuation of oxidative stress in high fat diet- and amyloid beta-induced mice

TL;DR: This study investigates the protective effects of the active ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction from A. okamotoanum and IQ on HFD and Aβ25-35-induced cognitive impairment mice and suggests they might be potential candidates for prevention and treatment of obesity- and A β-induced Cognitive impairment.

TL;DR: 1. Oxygen is a toxic gas - an introduction to oxygen toxicity and reactive species, and the chemistry of free radicals and related 'reactive species'
Journal ArticleDOI

The Amyloid Hypothesis of Alzheimer's Disease: Progress and Problems on the Road to Therapeutics

TL;DR: It has been more than 10 years since it was first proposed that the neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be caused by deposition of amyloid β-peptide in plaques in brain tissue and the rest of the disease process is proposed to result from an imbalance between Aβ production and Aβ clearance.

Free radicals and antioxidants in normal physiological functions and human disease

TL;DR: Attention is focussed on the ROS/RNS-linked pathogenesis of cancer, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, ischemia/reperfusion injury, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and ageing.

Targeting cancer cells by ROS-mediated mechanisms: a radical therapeutic approach?

TL;DR: It is argued that modulating the unique redox regulatory mechanisms of cancer cells might be an effective strategy to eliminate these cells.

The effect of vitamin E and beta carotene on the incidence of lung cancer and other cancers in male smokers

TL;DR: No reduction in the incidence of lung cancer among male smokers is found after five to eight years of dietary supplementation with alpha-tocopherol or beta carotene, and this trial raises the possibility that these supplements may actually have harmful as well as beneficial effects.
