By contrast, there extensive literature documenting that this population typically at a higher risk for disorders: both median age LTC and increased use pharmacological interventions contribute ...

Oxidative stress (OS) resulting from imbalance in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or dysfunction antioxidant machinery, is a key mechanism associated with onset neurodegenerative disorders. Although molecular mechanisms are still elusive, disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease have been mitochondrial dysfunction. Recently, mitochondrial-targeted hydrogen sulph...

Objective(s): Oxidative stress has been established as a key cause of alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity. Licochalcone B, an extract of licorice root, has shown antioxidative properties. This study was to investigate the effects and mechanisms of licochalcone B in ethanol-induced hepatic injury in an in vitro study. Materials and Methods: An in vitro model of Ethanol-induced cytotoxicity in BRL cel...
