Benefits under the Sea: The Role of Marine Compounds in Neurodegenerative Disorders

Anti-oxidants, Parkinson's Disease /

This review will focus on the most promising marine drugs’ neuro-protective potential for neuro-degenerative disorders, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases. We will describe these marine compounds’ potential as adjuvant therapies for neuro-degenerative diseases, based on their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties.

Hydrogen-rich water as a modulator of gut microbiota?

Anti-oxidants, Vitamins / Supplements / Nutraceuticals /

However, no well-powered multicentric trial evaluated the effectiveness of HRW consumption so far in common gastrointestinal diseases with gut flora scenario, including inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, gastroenteritis and colitis of infectious origin. HRW might be an up-and-coming compound that might tune endogenous H2 homeostasis and modulate gut microbiota but it should still be perceived

Astaxanthin Alleviates Ochratoxin A-Induced Cecum Injury and Inflammation in Mice by Regulating the Diversity of Cecal Microbiota and TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB Signaling Pathway

Anti-oxidants, Butyrate, Short Chain Fatty Acids, Vitamins / Supplements / Nutraceuticals /

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a common environmental pollutant found in a variety of foods and grains, and excessive OTA consumptioncauses serious global health effects on animals and humans. Astaxanthin (AST) is a natural carotenoid that has anti-inflammatory,antiapoptotic, immunomodulatory, antitumor, antidiabetes, and other biological activities. The present study is aimed atinvestigating the effects of AST on
