Asthma Alleviation by Ginsenoside Rb1 via Promotion of Treg Proliferation and Inflammatory T Cell Inhibition

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Screening of 250 natural products identified ginsenoside Rb1 (gRb1) as a potent modulator of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and inflammatory T cells. gRb1 increased IL‐10‐ and TGF‐β‐expressing Tregs while reducing Th17, Th1, and Th2 populations in both asthma model mice and human PBMCs.

A narrative literature review about alpha‐lipoic acid role in dry eye and ocular surface disease

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Ocular surface diseases (OSD) include various conditions that affect the eye's surface, causing discomfort and pain. One such condition, dry eye disease (DED), is a multifactorial disorder that significantly impacts patients' quality of life, with prevalence rates ranging from 5% to 50% and higher incidence in women.

Characterisation of localised pigment accumulation in brains of eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) after clinical disease due to chronic Phalaris species toxicosis

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
A progressive tremorgenic syndrome characterised by ataxia and head nodding is well documented in sheep and cattle affected by chronic Phalaris toxicosis (CPT), and is increasingly documented in the eastern grey kangaroo {(EGK), Macropus giganteus} in southeastern Australia.

Neuroprotection with anaesthetic agents

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2001
The term 'neuroprotection' is used to refer to any prophylactic measure that is initiated during the peri-ischaemic period in order to improve neuronal survival. Cell death after ischaemia has an immediate, necrotic and a delayed, apoptotic origin. The major biochemical mechanisms that are involved in this process include transmembrane ionic fluxes and

Neuroprotective agents: Cannabinoids

Clinical Immunology, 2012
Chronic inflammation and neurodegeneration are the main pathological traits of multiple sclerosis that coexist in all stages of the disease course, with complex and still nonclarified relationships. Currently licensed medications have efficacy to control aspects related to inflammation, but have been unable to modify pure progression. Experimental work

Minocycline as a Neuroprotective Agent

The Neuroscientist, 2005
Several studies have shown that minocycline, a semisynthetic, second-generation tetracycline derivative, is neuroprotective in animal models of central nervous system trauma and several neurodegenerative diseases. Common to all these reports are the beneficial effects of minocycline in reducing neural inflammation and preventing cell death.

Neuroprotective Agents

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 1999
Although basic research has revealed many mechanisms involved in the repair or elimination of damaged neurons, turning these mechanisms into clinically useful neuroprotective interventions is a slow process. Numerous neurotrophic factors seem to mediate neuronal repair and viability, but because the neurotrophic factors are proteins or polypeptides ...

2,5-Diketopiperazines as Neuroprotective Agents

Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry, 2012
2,5-diketopiperazines are the simplest cyclic peptides found in nature, commonly biosynthesized from amino acids by different organisms, and represent a promising class of biologically active natural products. Their peculiar heterocyclic structure confers high stability against the proteolysis and constitutes a structural requirement for the active ...

Leptin as a neuroprotective agent

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2008
Leptin is a hormone produced by adipocytes that regulates satiety (food uptake) and energy homeostasis by activating receptors expressed in neurons of the hypothalamus. Leptin receptors are also found in other brain regions such as the hippocampus and cerebral cortex, and have known roles in regulating neural development and neuroendocrine functions ...
