Boost Brain Function: PRPS Are Beneficial Neuro-Cytokines That Protect The Brain
Can proline-rich polypeptides (PRPs) protect your brain and even boost brain function? Studies in vitro on animals and humans support that idea. The neuro-protective cytokines in PRPs have a remarkably stabilizing effect on cognitive function in Alzheimer’s disease patients. In vitro studies show that PRPs inhibit fibrils and amyloid plaques.[1] PRPs also modulate intracellular levels of reacti...
متن کاملAntibiotics that affect the ribosome.
The ribosome is a major bacterial target for antibiotics. Drugs inhibit ribosome function either by interfering in messenger RNA translation or by blocking the formation of peptide bonds at the peptidyl transferase centre. These effects are the consequence of the binding of drugs to the ribosomal subunits. Various mechanisms, including enzymatic detoxification, target alteration (ribosomal [r]R...
متن کاملDoes erythropoietin protect the preterm brain?
There is a high incidence of hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury and intraventricular haemorrhage in newborn infants, particularly those born preterm. Many die during the newborn period or suffer permanent neurodevelopmental handicaps. Hypoxic brain injury develops over several hours and could potentially be influenced by intervention. At present, no drug exists that effectively prevents infant brai...
متن کاملStimulating mitochondria to protect the brain following traumatic brain injury
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an acquired injury to the brain that occurs with sudden trauma that can range from mild (concussive) to severe. TBI is considered a leading cause of death in children and young adults, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimating that approximately 1.7 million cases of TBI occur in the United States annually (Faul et al., 2010). Further, since t...
متن کاملCell density and mobility protect swarming bacteria against antibiotics.
Swarming bacteria move in multicellular groups and exhibit adaptive resistance to multiple antibiotics. Analysis of this phenomenon has revealed the protective power of high cell densities to withstand exposure to otherwise lethal antibiotic concentrations. We find that high densities promote bacterial survival, even in a nonswarming state, but that the ability to move, as well as the speed of ...
