The role of hydrogen peroxide in immune responses and its effects on bacteria: Given these points, while hydrogen peroxide is a tool used by the immune system to kill bacteria, the effectiveness of this mechanism may be reduced in older individuals due to the decline in immune function. Additionally, some bacteria have mechanisms to resist […]
Aging Studies: A Review on Inflammaging and Anti-Aging Strategies
The study of aging is a complex field, requiring multi-modal and multi-perspective investigations. There is significant evidence indicating that cellular senescence contributes heavily to organ damage and disease development in aging organisms. Relatively, the aging process in organs and organisms often triggers inflammatory responses. Inflammatory-associated molecular patterns can promote cellular senescence which further induces more […]
Ellagic Acid: A Potent Ally in Combating Chronic Liver Diseases and Cancer Introduction: Unveiling the Power of Ellagic Acid Chronic liver diseases, often the result of sustained oxidative stress, have long been a challenge to treat using traditional methods. However, a natural compound is making waves for its remarkable therapeutic potential. Ellagic Acid (EA), a […]
Catalase (CAT) is an enzyme found in peroxisomes that catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).
Catalase (CAT) is a ubiquitous enzyme found in nearly all living organisms that are exposed to oxygen. It is present in a wide variety of tissue types and organisms, including: Catalase is primarily located in peroxisomes, which are organelles that play a key role in the metabolism of hydrogen peroxide and other reactive oxygen species. […]
Protective roles of inorganic nitrate in health and diseases
Sources of Nitrites in Organisms Nitrites in organisms can originate from both endogenous (internal) and exogenous (external) sources. Understanding these sources is crucial for comprehending the role of nitrites in human physiology and their potential health impacts. Endogenous Sources Exogenous Sources Physiological Relevance of Nitrites In summary, nitrites in organisms originate from both internal metabolic […]
