Red-light photobiomodulation improves cognition and neuropsychiatric symptoms in post-stroke cognitive impairment: a randomized trial [PDF]
IntroductionAcute stroke patients often develop post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and dysthymic disorders. Formaldehyde (FA) induces cognitive decline and depression; while red light (RL) at 630 nm can degrade FA by activating FA-dehydrogenase (FDH)

Semicarbazide diminishes the signs of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats [PDF]
The pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is accompanied by extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, oxidative stress, and inflammation progression, as well as hyperactivation of amine oxidases (AOs), which contribute to disease manifestation.

Rhabdomyolysis attenuates activity of semicarbazide sensitive amine oxidase as the marker of nephropathy in diabetic rats [PDF]
Amine oxidases are involved in the progression of many diseases and their complications, including renal failure, due to the generation of the three toxic metabolites (H2O2, aldehydes, and ammonia) in the course of biogenic amines oxidative deamination ...

Amine oxidases as important agents of pathological processes of rhabdomyolysis in rats [PDF]
In this study we have tested an idea on the important role of amine oxidases (semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase, diamine oxidase, polyamine oxidase) as an additional source of oxidative/carbonyl stress under glycerol-induced rhabdomyolysis, since the

New Data on Cylindrospermopsin Toxicity
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a widely spread cyanotoxin that can occur in fresh water and food. This research aims to investigate CYN toxicity by studying the effects of drinking 0.25 nM of CYN-contaminated water from a natural source, and of the direct ...

Zinc-α2-glycoprotein as an inhibitor of amine oxidase copper-containing 3 [PDF]
Zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG) is a major plasma protein whose levels increase in chronic energy-demanding diseases and thus serves as an important clinical biomarker in the diagnosis and prognosis of the development of cachexia.

Origins of Serum Semicarbazide-Sensitive Amine Oxidase [PDF]
Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidases (SSAO) are enzymes that are capable of deaminating primary amines to produce aldehyde, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. This activity has been associated with vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) and is found in the serum, endothelium, adipose, and smooth muscle of mammals.

Abstract Introduction We explored whether volatile organic compound (VOC) detection can serve as a screening tool to distinguish cognitive dysfunction (CD) from cognitively normal (CN) individuals. Methods The cognitive function of 1467 participants was assessed and their VOCs were detected.

Genomic and experimental evidence for multiple metabolic functions in the RidA/YjgF/YER057c/UK114 (Rid) protein family. [PDF]
BackgroundIt is now recognized that enzymatic or chemical side-reactions can convert normal metabolites to useless or toxic ones and that a suite of enzymes exists to mitigate such metabolite damage.
