These changes frequently manifest as dysregulation in glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function, leading to reduced energy production, increased oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction-key contributors to age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
Methods: We conducted experiments on two models: young (3-4 months) and aged (over 18 months) mice, as well as cultures of senescent and control mouse astrocytes.
Article Synopsis
- * Lithium (Li) has been found to have beneficial osteogenic and antioxidant effects, making it a good candidate for enhancing bone tissue repair in diabetics when released from bioactive glass-ceramic materials.
- * A study showed that glass-ceramic microparticles created from a specific type of bioactive glass demonstrated antioxidant activity and promoted bone formation in a rat model of type 1 DM, suggesting their potential use in regenerative medicine for bone tissue.
