Preventing Bacterial Translocation in Patients with Leaky Gut
Syndrome: Nutrition and Pharmacological Treatment Options

: Leaky gut syndrome is a medical condition characterized by intestinal hyperpermeability.Since the intestinal barrier is one of the essential components maintaining homeostasis along thegastrointestinal tract, loss of its integrity due to changes in bacterial composition, decreased expression levels of tight junction proteins, and increased concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokinesmay lead to intestinal hyperpermeability followed by […]

Overview on Parkinson’s disease: pathophysiology, and experimental models

Parkinson's Disease / Rob

Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative disease, is caused by dopaminergic neurons death and accompanied byrigidity, and postural instability, as well as bradykinesia. The cause of these neurons’ death is still unclear. Since thedopaminergic neurons couldn’t regenerate, therefore Parkinson’s disease couldn’t be cured. Thus, over the pastdecades, significant effort has been made to explore the etiology of

Food for thought: the emerging role of a ketogenic diet in Alzheimer’s disease management

Diet and Exercise / Rob

Recently, particular attention has been paid to the possible function of three dietary patterns in AD prevention: the Mediterranean diet, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, and the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet. These dietary patterns have well-known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and their neuroprotective properties have been shown to be

The Potential Role of Cinnamon in Human Health

Parkinson's Disease, Pre-PD / Rob

In folk medicine, cinnamon species have been used as medicine for respiratory and digestive disorders. Their potential for prophylactic and therapeutic use in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease has also been discovered. This review summarizes the available isolation methods and analytical techniques used to identify biologically active compounds present in cinnamon bark and leaves and the

Effect of 8-Day Fasting on Leukocytes Expression of Genes and Proteins Involved in Iron Metabolism in Healthy Men

Fasting, Iron / Rob

Eight days of total starvation diet affected the body composition and decreased exercise capacity. Further, fasting decreased the expression of genes associated with iron storage and export, and increased the expression of genes involved in iron acquisition. Conversely, only PCBP2 protein increased after fasting; however, an upward trend was apparent for all proteins. In conclusion,

Nutritional aspects in Parkinson’s disease

Biomarkers, Diet and Exercise, Parkinson's Disease, Pre-PD / Rob

The links between diet and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are unclear and incomprehensible. However, numerous studies have demonstrated the correlation between diet, nutrients and health condition in PD patients. They indicate the possibility of management of the disease, which might be possible through nutrition. Pharmaceutical treatment as well as a complementary holistic approach to the patients
