Aluminum exposure has been widely demonstrated to cause cognitive impairment and neuronal damage, which are significant factors in many neurodegenerative diseases. Ginger root extract (GRE) has attracted researchers' attention in recent years due to its antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, as a potential therapeutic intervention to mitigate aluminum-induced neural damage.To evaluate the effects of GRE on cognitive impairment and the expression of Nrf2, GPX4, and SLC7A11 in aluminum (Al)-exposed rats.

Rpc34 is a subunit of the Rpc82/34/31 subcomplex residing on the DNA-binding cleft of RNA polymerase (Pol) III. Rpc34 contains a structurally flexible N-terminal tandem winged-helix (tWH) domain related to the TFIIE transcription factor. While the second WH (WH2) fold of the tWH domain is known to function in DNA melting activity during transcription initiation, the functional role of the WH1 fold is unknown.

Argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) catalyzes the conversion of argininosuccinate into arginine and fumarate, a key step in the biosynthesis of urea and arginine. ASL is a tetrameric enzyme but it dissociates into inactive dimers under low temperature conditions. This study investigates the inactivation process under low temperature conditions.
