Ischemic disease is a class of diseases in which an organ is ischemic due to vascular occlusion, a major contributor to death and disability worldwide. However, when the blood flow is restored, more severe damage occurs than ischemia alone and is known as ischemic-reperfusion injury (IRI). During reperfusion, the imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and buffering capacity of the antioxidant defense system results in cell damage and death. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) significantly affects antioxidant stress damage. The function of Nrf2 in the pathological process of IRI has been widely discussed, but the impact of epigenetic modifications associated with Nrf2 remains unclear. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the role and mechanism of Nrf2-related epigenetic modifications in the IRI of various organs, including the brain, heart, liver, and kidney. In addition, we summarize agonists that may target epigenetic regulation of Nrf2, which may be beneficial in seeking more effective strategies to improve IRI.

Habituation of the biological response to repeated psychosocial stress: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Recurrent psychosocial stress poses a significant health challenge, prompting research into mechanisms of successful adaptation. Physiological habituation, defined as decreased reactivity to repeated stressors, is pivotal in protecting the organism from allostatic load. Here, we systematically review and meta-analyze data from studies investigating the capacity of central stress systems to habituate when repeatedly exposed to a standardized psychosocial stressor, the Trier Social Stress Test (k=47).

Background: Modern dietary trends have led to an increase in foods that are relatively high in n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and low in n-3 PUFAs. We previously reported that the offspring of mother mice that consumed a diet high in n-6 linoleic acid (LA) and low in n-3 α-linolenic acid (ALA), hereinafter called the LA/ALA diet, exhibit behavioral abnormalities related to anxiety and feeding.

Objective: We currently lack a comprehensive overview of the behavioral abnormalities in these offspring, which was investigated in this study.
