Background: Pterostilbene (PS), a natural and antioxidant polyphenolic compound emerges as a promising intervention in improving the myocardial infarction (MI) damages.

Objetives: This study aimed to evaluate PS actions in promoting redox homeostasis in lungs and right ventricle (RV) of infarcted animals.

Methods: Male Wistar rats (60 day-old) were randomized into three groups: SHAM, MI (infarcted), and MI+PS (MI+pterostilbene). Seven days after MI procedure, rats were treated with PS (100 mg/kg/day) via gavage for eight days. Animals were euthanized and the lungs and RV were harvested for analyses of redox balance (Differences were considered significant when p<0.05).

Results: Our results show that MI triggers a redox disruption scenario in RV and lungs, which can contribute to MI-induced damage on these organs. Consistently, PS mitigated oxidative stress and restored antioxidant defenses (GSH in lungs: SHAM= 0.79±0.07; MI=0.67±0.05; MI+PS=0.86±0.14; p<0.05), indicating its protective role in this scenario.

Conclusions: Our work evidences the PS potential use as an adjuvant therapeutic approach after MI focusing on protecting pulmonary and right-sided heart tissues.

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the most common cause of chronic liver diseases with its pathophysiological mechanism poorly understood. In this work, serological, histological, molecular biological, biochemical, and immunological methods were applied to explore the pathological significance and action of zinc finger protein 281 (ZFP281 in mouse, ZNF281 in human) and targeted strategies. We reported that ZFP281/ZNF281 abundance in hepatocytes was positively correlated with the progression of NASH.

Ageing is a natural process accompanied by functional and structural decline of diverse tissues and organs, which could cause susceptibility to various diseases and death. The anti-ageing interventions have aroused huge research interest with the rapid rise of ageing population in the world. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic stilbene, could be naturally isolated from various plants, such as grapes, blueberries, and peanuts.

The aim of this study was to investigate the ameliorative effects of pterostilbene (PTE), a polyphenolic compound, on stress-induced lipid metabolic disorders in the liver of broiler chickens. Six hundred healthy, 1-day-old Arbor Acres with similar weight were randomly assigned to five groups, each consisting of eight replicates with 15 broilers per replicate. The groups included: a control group (fed a basal diet), and four groups treated with corticosterone (CORT) at varying dietary levels of PTE supplementation: CORT (0 mg/kg PTE), CORT-PT200 (200 mg/kg PTE), CORT-PT400 (400 mg/kg PTE), and CORT-PT600 (600 mg/kg PTE).

Article Synopsis
  • Neurological disorders (NDs) like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ischemic stroke are serious conditions that currently lack effective treatments to slow their progression.
  • Stilbenes, a group of natural compounds including resveratrol, have shown promise in protecting the nervous system by influencing cellular pathways involved in neurodegeneration.
  • While preclinical studies suggest beneficial effects of stilbenes, especially resveratrol, clinical research is still limited and variable, highlighting the need for more targeted studies to fully understand their therapeutic potential.

Inflammation and immune cell dysfunction are critical facilitators of endometriosis pathophysiology. Macrophages are renowned for stimulating lesion growth, vascularization, innervation, and pain generation. By combining macrophages and endometriotic cells, we determined if resveratrol and its natural analogs can target the immune dysregulation and oxidative imbalance in endometriosis.
