Antioxidants (Basel)
January 2025
Oxidative stress refers to the phenomenon in which the redox balance of the body is disrupted in response to stimuli, leading to an excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species in vivo, which can lead to a variety of diseases. In contrast to artificial antioxidants, whose safety is controversial, natural antioxidants, which are widely available, pharmacologically active, and have little toxic side effects, are expected to be candidates for the treatment of oxidative stress-related diseases.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) exerts its physiological roles through the endothelialdifferentiation gene (EDG) family LPA receptors (LPAR1-3) or the non-EDG family LPA receptors (LPAR4-6). LPAR6 plays crucial roles in hair loss and cancer progression, yet its structural information is very limited. Here, we report the cryoelectron microscopy structure of LPA-bound human LPAR6 in complex with a mini G or G protein.

In this work, we report the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of superconducting LaSrNiO films prepared by molecular beam epitaxy and in situ atomic-hydrogen reduction. The measured Fermi topology closely matches theoretical calculations, showing a large Ni [Formula: see text]-derived Fermi sheet that evolves from hole-like to electron-like along and a three-dimensional (3D) electron pocket centered at the Brillouin zone corner.

Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase, plays a significant role in mitigating oxidative stress in various neurodegenerative conditions. However, the role of SIRT3 in the neuroprotective mechanisms of nimodipine after SAH remains unclear.
