Cherry Anthocyanins Regulate NAFLD by Promoting Autophagy Pathway

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic disease that threatens human health, and present therapies remain limited due to the lack of effective drugs. Lipid metabolic disturbance and oxidative stress have strong links to the development of NAFLD, while autophagy was generally accepted as a key regulatory mechanism on these steps ...

Phospholipogenic Pharmaceuticals Are Associated with a Higher Incidence of Histological Findings than Nonphospholipogenic Pharmaceuticals in Preclinical Toxicology Studies

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
While phospholipidosis is thought to be an adaptive response to chemical challenge, many phospholipogenic compounds are known to display adverse effects in preclinical species and humans. To investigate the link between phospholipogenic administration and incidence of preclinical histological signals, an internal AstraZeneca in vivo toxicology report ...

Gaucher Disease and the Synucleinopathies

BioMed Research International, Volume 2006, Issue 1, 2006., 2006
Several recent observations suggest a connection between Gaucher disease, the inherited deficiency of glucocerebrosidase, and the synucleinopathies. Rare patients have been observed who develop both Gaucher disease and parkinsonism. Autopsy studies on these subjects reveal synuclein‐positive Lewy bodies and inclusions.
