TS-011, a potent and selective inhibitor of 20-HETE synthesis, has been described as providing significant benefits in animal stroke models. However, no studies have investigated changes in brain 20-HETE levels after cerebral ischemia. Also lacking are studies of TS-011 pharmacodynamics with respect to brain 20-HETE levels that may explain the benefits of TS-011 in animal models of ischemic stroke. The present study sought to explore changes in 20-HETE levels in brain tissue, as well as in plasma, after a 90-min episode of transient focal cerebral ischemia. Pharmacodynamics of TS-011 were also examined. Then, we evaluated the long-term effects of TS-011 when administered as in this pharmacodynamics study. The major findings of the present study are as follows: (1) brain 20-HETE levels increased significantly within 7.5h after MCAO; (2) TS-011 at doses of 0.1 and 0.3mg/kg administered at regular 6-h intervals appeared to reduce brain 20-HETE levels continuously; (3) TS-011 when administered as in this pharmacodynamics study improved long-term neurological and functional outcomes. These findings strongly suggest that 20-HETE plays an important role in the development of neurological and functional deficits after focal cerebral ischemia and that TS-011 may provide benefits in patients suffering ischemic stroke.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a prevalent clinical syndrome, yet its underlying pathogenesis remains largely unknown. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), an enzyme responsible for detoxifying lipid aldehydes, has been suggested to play a protective role against IRI. In our study, we observed that Aldh2 knock-out C57BL/6 mice experienced more severe renal functional impairment following IRI.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the link between sleep issues, like snoring and sleep apnea, and various cardiometabolic risks, including obesity and hypertension, using a mix of observational data and genetic analysis.
- It found significant associations between sleep problems and increased risks for conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes, confirmed through Mendelian randomization (MR) studies.
- Additionally, altered metabolism was observed in zebrafish models, highlighting potential metabolic pathways associated with sleep disorders and their impact on cardiometabolic health.
Salidroside attenuates sepsis-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting ferroptosis-dependent pathway.

Article Synopsis
- Sepsis can lead to acute lung injury (ALI) due to a strong inflammatory response, and salidroside (SAL) is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
- The study investigated how SAL affects ALI in a septic mouse model, analyzing lung tissue damage, inflammatory factors, and the ferroptosis pathway.
- Results showed that SAL treatment improved lung tissue health, reduced harmful inflammatory markers, and inhibited ferroptosis, indicating its potential as a therapeutic option for sepsis-induced ALI.

Epidemiological studies have demonstrated exposure to cadmium ion (Cd) is significantly associated with the incidence and aggravation of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Cd exposure could alter lipid metabolism, and changed lipid metabolites are significantly associated with NASH. Arachidonic acid (ArA) is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid.
