Betulin and Its Derivatives Reduce Inflammation and COX-2 Activity in Macrophages

Wojciech Szlasa et al.

Summary: Betulinic acid and betulin are compounds with anti-inflammatory properties and have the potential to reduce inflammation by reducing IL-6 secretion. They have minimal effect on COX-2 activity. Bet-Orn and Bet-Lys are highly cytotoxic and induce the aggregation of IFN gamma R. Bet-Lys has a higher degree of inhibition on COX-2 activity than dexamethasone. Bet-Orn is the only compound that increases the content of HSP-70 in macrophages. All compounds are more effective than dexamethasone in reducing IL-6.

Perspectives in liver redox imbalance: Toxicological and pharmacological aspects underlying iron overloading, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and thyroid hormone action

Luis A. Videla et al.

Summary: Oxidative stress can disrupt redox signaling and control, leading to cellular dysfunction, with protective or harmful effects depending on the antioxidant potential of cells, levels of reactive oxygen/nitrogen species, and exposure time. Conditions like iron overload and NAFLD can cause redox imbalance, while thyroid hormones play a role in preconditioning the liver against ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Telmisartan attenuates diabetic nephropathy by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation, and upregulating Nrf2/HO-1 signaling in diabetic rats

Samar A. Antar et al.

Summary: This study found that telmisartan has a protective effect on renal damage in diabetic rats, reducing hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. It achieves this protective effect by upregulating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Protective effect of orange essential oil on the formation of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease caused by high-fat diet

Qing-Shan Wang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that sniffing orange essential oil (OEO) has a protective effect on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) caused by a high-fat diet. It can reduce obesity, liver fat accumulation, and improve antioxidant capacity in mice.

Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species and Mitophagy: A Complex and Nuanced Relationship

James H. Schofield et al.

Summary: The relationship between mitophagy and ROS production is complex and not fully understood. This review discusses mtROS generation and their detrimental effects on cellular viability, along with the cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress. Furthermore, the prominent mechanisms governing mitophagy induction that bear on oxidative stress are explored.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Elizabeth E. Powell et al.

Summary: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common global health issue with significant associations with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, leading to serious complications like cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. While cardiovascular disease and extrahepatic malignancy are the main causes of death in NAFLD patients, advanced liver fibrosis is a key prognostic marker for liver-related outcomes and overall mortality.

Protective Role of Dietary Capsanthin in a Mouse Model of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Hee Kyoung Joo et al.

Summary: Capsanthin, the main carotenoid in red paprika, was found to have protective effects against hepatic steatosis and steatohepatitis in a NAFLD mouse model, reducing lipid accumulation and cholesterol levels in the liver, as well as decreasing plasma aminotransferase levels. It also regulated the expression of genes associated with hepatic fatty acid metabolism.
