Paraoxonases at the Heart of Neurological Disorders
Paraoxonase enzymes serve as an important physiological redox system that participates in the protection against cellular injury caused by oxidative stress. The PON enzymes family consists of three members (PON-1, PON-2, and PON-3) that share a similar structure
Signaling pathways involved in ischemic stroke: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic interventions
Ischemic stroke is caused primarily by an interruption in cerebral blood flow, which induces severe neural injuries, and is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Thus, it is of great necessity to further detailly elucidate the mechanisms of ischemic stroke and find out new therapies against the disease. In recent
Malnutrition in patients with neurological disorders
Neurological disorders can cause problems in chewing and swallowing or impair functionality in daily life. Depression, which is often seen in patients with chronic neurological disorders, also increases the risk of malnutrition. Impairment of cognitive function makes it difficult to prepare food and increases the risk of malnutrition. Gastroparesis due to Parkinson’s disease or diabetes […]
