Modified citrus pectin (MCP) modulates galectin-3, a key player in neuroinflammation linked to Alzheimer's disease. By inhibiting galectin-3, MCP reduces the brain's inflammatory response and may alleviate cognitive decline. This study examines MCP's impact on neuroinflammation, cognitive function, and its role in galectin-3 inhibition in a dementia model.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how lidocaine could protect against damage caused by testicular torsion and detorsion in rats.
- It involved three groups: a control group, a group experiencing ischemic injury, and a treatment group receiving lidocaine before reperfusion.
- Results showed that lidocaine reduced harmful biochemical markers, lowered inflammation, boosted antioxidant activity, and improved testicular health compared to the group without lidocaine treatment.
Objective: Endometrial polyp (EP) is a type of pathology that is quite common in clinical practice. Although its exact etiology is not fully known, there is evidence to support that it is sensitive to hormonal stimuli. We aimed to investigate the relationship between kisspeptin (KP) and EP by comparing the genetic (tissue-blood) and immunohistochemical (IHC) expression of KP in EP lesions in patients with normal endometrial findings.
