It is well established that Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) and their receptor (RAGE) are primarily responsible for the development of cardiovascular disease. As a result, diabetic therapy is very interested in therapeutic strategies that can target the AGE-RAGE axis. The majority of the AGE-RAGE inhibitors showed encouraging outcomes in animal experiments, but more information is needed to completely understand their clinical effects. The main mechanism implicated in the aetiology of cardiovascular disease in people with diabetes is oxidative stress and inflammation mediated by AGE-RAGE interaction. Numerous PPAR-agonists have demonstrated favourable outcomes in the treatment of cardio-metabolic illness situations by inhibiting the AGE-RAGE axis. The body's ubiquitous phenomena of inflammation occur in reaction to environmental stressors such tissue damage, infection by pathogens, or exposure to toxic substances. Rubor (redness), calor (heat), tumour (swelling), colour (pain), and in severe cases, loss of function, are its cardinal symptoms. When exposed, the lungs develop silicotic granulomas with the synthesis of collagen and reticulin fibres. A natural flavonoid called chyrsin has been found to have PPAR-agonist activity as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The RPE insod2+/animals underwent mononuclear phagocyte-induced apoptosis, which was accompanied with decreased superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and increased superoxide generation. Injections of the serine proteinase inhibitor SERPINA3K decreased proinflammatory factor expression in mice with oxygen-induced retinopathy, decreased ROS production, and increased levels of SOD and GSH.

Background: Cigarette smoking is a leading cause of death and disease, including those related to the cardiovascular system. Cytisine is a plant-based medication, which works in a similar mechanism to varenicline. It is safe, efficacious, and cost-effective for smoking cessation.

Oxidative stress-associated proximal tubular cells (PTCs) damage is an important pathogenesis of hypertensive renal injury. We previously reported the protective effect of VEGFR3 in salt-sensitive hypertension. However, the specific mechanism underlying the role of VEGFR3 in kidney during the overactivation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system remains unclear.

Background: Workplace health screening rarely includes measures of cardiorespiratory fitness, despite it being a greater predictor of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality than other routinely measured risk factors. This study aimed to determine the comparative acceptability of using a novel seismocardiography device to measure cardiorespiratory fitness via VO max during a workplace health check.

Methods: Participants were invited to participate in workplace health screening sessions where VO max was assessed by both seismocardiography at rest and sub-maximal exercise testing, in order for acceptability of both to be compared across multiple domains.

Evolutionary perspectives have yielded profound insights in health and medical sciences. A fundamental recognition is that modern diet and lifestyle practices are mismatched with the human physiological constitution, shaped over eons in response to environmental selective pressures. This Darwinian angle can help illuminate and resolve issues in nutrition, including the contentious issue of fat consumption.
