, 2020 , Article Review)
Due to its health benefits, resveratrol (RE) is one of the most researched natural polyphenols. Resveratrol's health benefits were first highlighted in the early 1990s in the French paradox study, which opened extensive ...
Resveratrol-Elicited PKC Inhibition Counteracts NOX-Mediated Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Human Retinal Endothelial Cells Exposed to High Glucose
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Diabetes-associated long-term hyperglycaemia leads to oxidative stress-mediated fibrosis in different tissues and organs. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal-transition (EndMT) appears to play a role in diabetes-associated fibrotic ...
EndMT regulation by small RNAs in diabetes-associated fibrotic conditions: potential link with oxidative stress
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
Diabetes-associated complications, such as retinopathy, nephropathy, cardiomyopathy, and atherosclerosis, the main consequences of long-term hyperglycemia, often lead to organ dysfunction, disability, and increased mortality. ...
Herbal Medicine for Cardiovascular Diseases: Efficacy, Mechanisms, and Safety
(
Frontiers Media S.A.
, 2020 , Article)
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a significant health burden with an ever-increasing
prevalence. They remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The use
of medicinal herbs continues to be an ...
Activation of the Pro-Oxidant PKCβII-p66Shc Signaling Pathway Contributes to Pericyte Dysfunction in Skeletal Muscles of Diabetic Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia
(
American Diabetes Association
, 2016 , Article)
Critical limb ischemia (CLI), foot ulcers, former amputation and impaired regeneration are independent risk factors for limb amputation in diabetic subjects. The present work investigates whether and by which mechanism ...
Plasmonic MXene-based nanocomposites exhibiting photothermal therapeutic effects with lower acute toxicity than pure MXene
(
DOVE Medical Press
, 2019 , Article)
Purpose: Here, we fabricated two plasmonic 2D Ti3C2Tx-based nanocomposites (Au/MXene and Au/Fe3O4/MXene) with similarly high anti-cancer photothermal therapy (PTT) capabilities, but with less in vivo toxicity than a pure ...

COVID-19 has rapidly spread in virtually all countries, ...
Resveratrol Inhibits Oxidative Stress and Prevents Mitochondrial Damage Induced by Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Despite their wide industrial use, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a high
toxic potential while concerns of their health-related risks are still present, urging additional in vivo
clarification studies. ...
Evaluation of Global Genomic DNA Methylation in Human Whole Blood by Capillary Electrophoresis UV Detection
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
