Lipoxygenase (EC1.13.11.12, LOX) has been potentially used in the food industry for food quality improvement. However, the low activity, poor thermal stability, narrow range of pH stability, as well as undesirable isoenzymes and off-flavors, have hampered the application of current commercial LOX. In this study, a putative mini-lipoxygenase gene from cyanobacteria, (NsLOX), was cloned and expressed in BL21. NsLOX displayed only 26.62% structural identity with the reported LOX from sp., indicating it as a novel LOX. The purified NsLOX showed the maximum activity at pH 8.0 and 15 °C, with superior stability at a pH range from 6.0 to 13.0, retaining about 40% activity at 40 °C for 90 min. Notably, NsLOX exhibited the highest specific activity of 78,080 U/mg towards linoleic acid (LA), and the kinetic parameters-, , and /-attain values of 19.46 μM, 9199.75 s, and 473.85 μM s, respectively. Moreover, the activity of NsLOX was obviously activated by Ca, but it was completely inhibited by Zn and Cu. Finally, NsLOX was supplied in steamed bread and contributed even better improved bread quality than the commercial LOX. These results suggest NsLOX as a promising substitute of current commercial LOX for application in the food industry.

Compound (4-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylamine)benzenesulfonamide) (LQFM275) was designed and synthesized from darbufelone and sulfanilamide as a new multi-target for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. LQFM275 showed a great range of safe cytotoxicity profile (100-400 μM) evaluated by MTT assay, preventing damage induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in EA.hy926 cell line.

Elevated plasma levels of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) are a risk factor and key component that accelerates and worsens cardiovascular disease fueling inflammation, plaque buildup and vascular damage. OxLDL can elicit its detrimental action via lectin-like oxLDL receptor 1 (LOX-1). In this study, we determined whether oxLDL, via LOX-1, alters aortic vascular reactivity and determined if sex and age differences exist.

Background: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is frequently used to treat severe coronary artery disease (CAD), but it can lead to increased oxidative stress and inflammation, worsening patient outcomes. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) has been suggested as a potential strategy to protect against these effects by modulating oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, though its impact on specific biomarkers requires further investigation. This study aims to assess the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning on inflammation markers and oxidative stress in patients with severe CAD undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.

Introduction: Forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) T regulatory cells are critical for maintaining self-tolerance, immune homeostasis, and regulating the immune system.
Methods: We investigated interleukin-4 receptor alpha (IL-4Rα) signalling on T regulatory cells (Tregs) during () infection using a mouse model on a BALB/c background, specifically with IL-4Rα knockdown in Tregs (Foxp3IL-4Rα).
Results: We showed an impairment of Treg responses, along with a decreased bacterial burden and diminished tissue pathology in the liver and spleen, which translated into better survival.

The study tested new oral plant-based formulations (F) on rats with monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthritis, measuring inflammation, antioxidant levels, paw size, stride, and analyzing knee joint images. Fifty-six female Sprague Dawley rats were allocated into 8 groups: (1) Control, (2) MIA (OA induced with MIA), (3) MIA + F1 [curcuminoids+gingerols+acetyl-11-keto-β boswellic acid (AKBA)], (4) MIA + F2 (curcuminoids+Withania glycosides+AKBA), (5) MIA + F3 (curcuminoids+total withanolides+AKBA), (6) MIA + F4 (curcuminoids, AKBA), (7) MIA + UCII (type II collagen), and (8) MIA + GCHON (Glucosamine Chondroitin). Treatments F1 to F4 reduced right joint diameter and improved stride length and paw area in OA rats.
