Background: The association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and its combination with obesity indictors in aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between TyG and TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI), TyG-waist circumference (TyG-WC), TyG-waist height ratio (TyG-WHtR) and AAD risk.
Methods: This study included 387,483 baseline participants from the UK Biobank with complete data on TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC and TyG-WHtR.
Article Synopsis
- * A study showed that an extract from a functional edible fungus (PCE) reduced brain damage and hemorrhage in rat models treated with tPA, suggesting a protective effect of this extract after ischemic stroke.
- * PCE appears to regulate the balance between pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) microglial responses, reducing harmful inflammation and promoting healing by affecting specific protein expressions related to microglial polarization.
Oxidative stress is one of the earlier events causing neuronal dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Gomisin N (GN), a lignin isolated from Schisandra chinensis, has anti-oxidative stress effects. There are currently no studies on the neuroprotective potential of GN in AD.
