Empirical evidence proves that the antioxidant property plays a main role in the biological activities of biomaterials, which is influenced by several factors. In order to explore in-depth, the influence of ionic systems on the antioxidant activity of collagen peptides was studied. Type-I-collagen peptides (GBB-10SP and TYPE-S) contained a high amount of hydrophobic amino acids and possessed good antioxidant activity at high concentrations in water. On the other hand, increasing [H ] and [Na ] concentrations (0.1 M to 0.5 M) decreased the reducing power of GBB-10SP and TYPE-S; however, [Ca ] had no effect on the reducing power. Interestingly, the hydroxyl radical scavenging rate of these two peptides was increased by [Na ], decreased by [H ], and [Ca ] had no effect. In general, TYPE-S showed better antioxidant properties than GBB-10SP. Overall, the above results confirmed that the antioxidant capacity of collagen peptides was affected by [H ] and [Na ] and not by [Ca ]. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The present study mainly deals with the influence of ions on the antioxidant properties of collagen peptides. Recently, fish collagen peptides have been widely used as food supplements to cure several disorders and maintain normal physiological health in humans. It is noted that the use of collagen from fish processing wastes has brought several potential benefits including low value-added products, preventing environmental pollution, and disease transmission by mammalian-based collagen. But the biological activity of this peptide varied based on the preparation and its biochemical compositions. Here, we are reporting how to improve the biological activity of collagen, and also the factors affecting the antioxidant properties in order to avoid the down-regulating mechanism. This study concluded that the [H ] and [Na ] influenced the antioxidant properties of collagen peptides, but [Ca ] had not effect on the antioxidant properties.

Patient-specific premorbidity, age, and sex are significant heterogeneous factors that influence the severe manifestation of lung diseases, including COVID-19 fibrosis. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays a prominent role in regulating the effects of these factors. Recent evidence shows patient-specific alterations of RAS peptide homeostasis concentrations with premorbidity and the expression level of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) during COVID-19.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder affecting nearly 50 million individuals worldwide. Besides aging, various comorbidities can increase the risk of AD, such as asthma. However, the molecular mechanism(s) underlying this asthma-associated AD exacerbation is unknown.

Background: Recent studies highlight distinct patterns of cortical atrophy between amnestic (typical) and non-amnestic (atypical, with subtypes: behavioural, dysexecutive, logopenic and visuospatial) clinical phenotypes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The current study aimed to assess regional MRI patterns of cortical atrophy across AD phenotypes, and their association with amyloid-beta (Aβ), phosphorylated tau (pTau), axonal degeneration (NfL) and microvascular deterioration (COLIV).
Method: Postmortem In-situ 3DT1 3T-MRI data was collected for 33 AD (17 typical, 16 atypical) and 16 control brain donors.

Background: Receptor Tyrosine kinase-mediated signaling is indispensable for the cell's normal functioning, the perturbation of which leads to disease conditions. The altered expression and activity of several Receptor Tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are known to regulate the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanistic details remain illusive.

Background: Mounting evidence suggests that acute and past exposure to the environmental toxicant lead (Pb) results in longitudinal decline in cognitive function and brain atrophy. In animals, chronic Pb exposure can increase brain Aβ deposition. However, it remains unclear how Pb induces different natures of amyloid depositions and underlying mechanisms to contribute to the pathogenesis of AD and related dementia.
