  •  
    New study finds no cardiovascular benefits from resveratrol.  It has long been claimed that reserveratrol is the polyphenol from red wine and chocolate that is the source of cardiovascular benefits such as found in the "french paradox".  However, this new study finds that resveratrol provides no benefit.  Studies still point to dark chocolate and red wine as means to reduce inflammation and reduce CVD risk, this study just points away from resveratrol as the source of the benefit.

The combined effects of exercise and foods in preventing neurological and cognitive dis... - 0 views

  • The most prevalent types of cognitive impairments include disturbances in attention and learning and memory function
  • An association between BDNF and learning and memory was found when measuring the performance of rats on the Morris water maze task
  • exercise and BDNF have been associated with reducing depression and promoting cognitive enhancement.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • In addition to reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, DHA serves to improve neuronal function by supporting synaptic membrane fluidity
  • Curcumin has also been shown to protect the hippocampus and to counteract learning impairment
  • insufficient DHA in the brain can compromise neuronal function with subsequent effects on a broad range of neurological and behavioral faculties.
  •  
    diet and exercise increases BDNF.  Diets rich in omega 3, curcumin, and polyphenols increase BDNF and thus increase neuroplasticity and associated cognition.   In contrast, sugar and saturated fats in crease oxidative stress and worsened spatial learning.  This study is a review.

Modulation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by bioactive food components | ... - 0 views

  • Mutations that result in Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway being constitutively active lead to cancer
  •  
    Great review of the Wnt/Beta-catenin pathway in initiation and progress of cancer.  The paper also highlights the common naturally occuring therapies to block this pathway: Flavonoids, curcumin, EGCG, green tea polyphenols, resveratrol, retinoids, lycopenes, lupeol, isothiocyanates.

The emerging role of nutrition in Parkinson's disease - 0 views

  •  
    Good review of the current data on the role of nutrition in Parkinson's disease.  Take home, a lot of data is conflicting.  But the figure at the end does well to summarize: diet rich in polyphenols in fruits/veggies, carotenoids, resveratrol, Vitamin C, D, E, and MUFA and PUFA are neuroprotective compared to dairy being neurodegenerative.

  • Although currently no drugs that specifically target mitochondrial biogenesis in HF are available, acceleration of this process through adenosine monophosphate–activated kinase (AMPK), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and other pathways may represent a promising therapeutic approach
  • Mitochondrial biogenesis can be enhanced therapeutically with the use of adenosine monophosphate kinase (AMPK) agonists, stimulants of nitric oxide/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (NO/cGMP) pathway (including phosphodiesteraes type 5 inhibitors), or resveratrol
  • metformin, a commonly used antidiabetic drug that activates AMPK signaling
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • Recent evidence suggests that the eNOS/NO/cGMP pathway is an important activator of mitochondrial biogenesis
  • BH4 (tetrahydrobiopterin) supplementation can prevent eNOS uncoupling and was found to reduce left ventricular hypertrophy
  • folic acid is known to replenish reduced BH4 and has been shown to protect the heart through increased eNOS activity
  • Both folate deficiency and inhibition of BH4 synthesis were associated with reduced mitochondrial number and function
  • Resveratrol, a polyphenol compound responsible for the cardioprotective properties of red wine, was recently identified as a potent stimulator of mitochondrial biogenesis
  • epidemiological studies reveal a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease in premenopausal, but not post-menopausal, women compared with men
  • post-menopausal women

      I would hypothesis that a change in the predominance of ER expression is one of ER beta to ER alpha: creating a more pro-inflammatory signal.
  • The majority of ROS in the heart appear to come from uncoupling of mitochondrial electron transport chain at the level of complexes I and III
  • Because the majority of ROS in HF comes from mitochondria, these organelles are the primary target of oxidative damage.
  • cardioprotective therapies such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and ATII receptor blockers were shown to possess antioxidant properties, although it is not known whether they target mitochondrial ROS directly or indirectly
  •  
    great review of mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative stress and heart failure.
