The effect of SkQ1 (a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant) on the level of cytochromes P450 in rat liver was studied. It was found that administration of therapeutic dose of SkQ1 with drinking water for 5 days (250 nmol/kg of body weight per day) did not alter the level of cytochromes P450. Under the same conditions, the standard dose of phenobarbital used for the induction of cytochromes P450 caused the 2.7-fold increase in the content of these cytochromes. We conclude that therapeutic doses of SkQ1 do not induce cytochromes P450 in rats.

Aripiprazole (ARI) is an atypical antipsychotic which is a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in eliminating potentially harmful compounds from the organism. ARI once-monthly (AOM) is a long-acting injectable form which improves treatment compliance. Genetic polymorphisms in ABCB1 may lead to changes in P-gp function, leading to individual differences in drug disposition.

Background: The rising demand for environmentally friendly pest control highlights the importance of understanding the interaction between natural enemies and pesticides. Amblyseius swirskii, a predatory mite extensively used in biocontrol, plays a crucial role in managing pest populations in agricultural systems. Integrating this mite with selective pesticide use within integrated pest management (IPM) would significantly advance pest control and may reduce pesticide residues in the environment and agricultural produce.

Background: Polyunsaturated fatty acids are metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) into anti-inflammatory, pro-resolving epoxides, which are rapidly converted to inactive and cytotoxic diols by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Increased CYP450-sEH metabolites are associated with worse cognition in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and greater white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in patients with stroke. We examined whether the relationship between linoleic acid (LA)-derived CYP450-sEH metabolites (oxylipins) and small vessel disease (SVD) markers differ across diabetes status.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease ("AD") presents a significant global health burden, often requiring medication management of comorbidities, some of which are metabolized by the polymorphic enzyme CYP2C9. We investigated the impact of CYP2C9 polymorphism on the reduction of Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI-12) scores following administration of IGC-AD1, comprising THC and melatonin, in AD patients.

Method: Thirteen Puerto Rican AD patients (mean age: 80.
