COVID-19 – Why Aren’t We Bolstering Immune Defense with Nutrition?

Leave a Comment / Resilient! The Redox Health Newsletter / Michael Sherer

The public health community understood the gravity of COVID-19 as a threat long before the political leaders and the general populace did for one simple reason: they knew we weren’t prepared for a virus with this combination of lethality and the ability to spread before you knew you had it. We didn’t have testing capacity […]

Establishment of a mouse model of ovarian oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide November 21, 2024
CONCLUSION: Based on our findings, treatment with 1.50% H(2)O(2) effectively established an oxidative stress model in mice within 1 week. This model serves as a valuable reference for future clinical studies on oxidative stress and reproductive disorders in female animals and humans.
Utilizing the apical-out enteroids in vitro model to investigate intestinal glucose transport, barrier function, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses in broiler chickens November 21, 2024
INTRODUCTION: Conventional 2D intestinal epithelial cell lines have been widely used in investigating intestinal functions, yet with limitations in recapitulating the in vivo gut physiology of chickens. A recently established chicken enteroid model with apical-out nature and the presence of leukocyte components represents intestinal mucosal functions. The objectives of this study were to 1) evaluate […]
Regulation of oxidative stress enzymes in Candida auris by Dermaseptin: potential implications for antifungal drug discovery November 21, 2024
The emergence of Candida auris poses a significant global health threat due to its high mortality rates and multidrug resistance. The development of new antifungal drugs is essential to effectively combat this pathogen. Antimicrobial peptides, such as Dermaseptin, have demonstrated potent anti-Candida activity. This study aimed to investigate the antifungal activity of Dermaseptin against C. […]
Water Extracts of Moringa oleifera Leaves Alter Oxidative Stress-Induced Neurotoxicity in Human Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y Cells November 21, 2024
Moringa oleifera (MO) has been an important plant for food and traditional medicine in Asian countries, including Indonesia. The leaves of these plants are reported to be rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and micronutrients and have been proven to have nootropic properties. Therefore, we investigated whether MO could provide protective effects on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells exposed […]
Effects of sublethal concentration of thiamethoxam formulation on wild stingless bee, Partamona helleri Friese (Hymenoptera: Apidae): Histopathology, oxidative stress and behavioral changes November 20, 2024
Bees are pollinators of native and cultivated plants around the world. However, several factors are contributing to the decrease in their populations in recent years, with emphasis on the increasing use of insecticides in agriculture. Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid neurotoxicant, which binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), causing hyperexcitation, paralysis and death of insects. Although […]
