Quercetin is a potential therapy for post-infarction NETosis formation.

The surgical intervention during myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with the risk of reperfusion injury, infiltration of tissues with polymorphonuclear neutrophils, and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. We hypothesized that inhibition of NETs with the use of quercetin might be a promising cardioprotective strategy. Wistar rats underwent LAD occlusion (MI) for 40 min followed by 90 min of reperfusion.

Intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia training ameliorates cognitive impairment and neuroinflammation in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by severe and progressive cognitive decline, stands as one of the most prevalent and devastating forms of dementia. Based on our recent findings showing intermittent hypoxic conditioning improved neuronal function in patients with mild cognitive impairment, the present study aimed at investigating whether the neuroprotective effects of intermittent hypoxia can be replicated in a rat model of AD, which allows us to explore the underlying cellular mechanisms involving neuroinflammation, hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF1α), and cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily E member 1 (CYP2E1). Forty-one adult male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to three groups: 1) Control group: received intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of saline; 2) STZ group: received ICV injection of streptozotocin (STZ) to induce AD-like pathology; and 3) STZ + IHHT group received ICV injection of STZ as well as 15 daily sessions of intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia training (IHHT).

Downregulation of lncRNAs Gomafu, NONMMUT033604.2, and NONMMUT064397.2 in the hippocampus of mice with model of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Objectives: Molecular mechanisms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) development have been analysed by evaluati-ng changes in the expression level of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) as a potential biomarker of the disease and as one of the molecular aspects associated with the disease development.

Methods: In our study, we used quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to evaluate changes in the expression level of long non-coding RNA - Gomafu, NONMMUT033604.2, and NONMMUT064397.
