Depression and sickness behavior are Janus-faced responses to shared inflammatory pathways [PDF]
, 2012 It is of considerable translational importance whether depression is a form or a consequence of sickness behavior. Sickness behavior is a behavioral complex induced by infections and immune trauma and mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Obesity and cancer: existing and new hypotheses for a causal connection [PDF]
, 2018 Existing explanations of obesity-associated cancer emphasise direct mutagenic effects of dietary components or hormonal imbalance. Some of these hypotheses are reviewed briefly, but recent evidence suggests a major role for chronic inflammation in cancer

Hydrogen sulfide reduces oxidative stress in Huntington’s disease via Nrf2
Neural Regeneration ResearchThe pathophysiology of Huntington’s disease involves high levels of the neurotoxin quinolinic acid. Quinolinic acid accumulation results in oxidative stress, which leads to neurotoxicity. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which quinolinic

It takes two to tango: NAD+ and sirtuins in aging/longevity control [PDF]
, 2016 The coupling of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) breakdown and protein deacylation is a unique feature of the family of proteins called ‘sirtuins.’ This intimate connection between NAD+ and sirtuins has an ancient origin and provides a ...
