86 patients with acute transmural and macrofocal myocardial infarction received combined treatment which included standard therapy (thrombolytic drugs, beta-blockers, APP inhibitors, nitrates, aspirin) and antioxidant trimetasidine. The addition of the latter was beneficial: the size of the myocardial lesion was limited, electrical instability of the heart attenuated, early dilatation of the left heart prevented.

Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder associated with increased risk of kidney and liver damage. Current treatments have shown contradictory outcomes, and their long-term use causes unwanted side effects. could serve as a complementary medicine to current PCOS treatments.

Background: Iron is an essential micronutrient for cell survival and growth; however, excess of this metal drives ferroptosis. Although maternal iron imbalance and placental hypoxia are independent contributors to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, the mechanisms by which their interaction impinge on maternal and placental health remain elusive.
Methods: We used placentae from normotensive and preeclampsia pregnancy cohorts, human H9 embryonic stem cells differentiated into cytotrophoblast-like cells, and placenta-specific preeclamptic mice.

Carotenoids are known for their antioxidant and vision protection roles, with dietary supplements often promoted for eye health. An initial trial, the European Nutrition in Glaucoma Management (ENIGMA), assessed macular pigment optical density (MPOD) and other ocular parameters before and after supplementing glaucoma patients with macular pigment (MP) carotenoids. The trial confirmed significant improvements in clinical ocular health.

Eggshell membrane (ESM) is a rich source of bioactive compounds, including proteins, peptides, and antioxidants, contributing to its potential therapeutic benefits. These natural antioxidants might help neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) and modulate inflammatory responses, which are often linked with chondrocyte damage in osteoarthritis. In this study, we investigated the functional effects of ESM proteins on HO-induced oxidative stress in a neonatal canine chondrocytes.

Background: Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD). The composite dietary antioxidant index (CDAI), an emerging measure of combined dietary antioxidant exposure, may provide insights into the relationship between diet and CVD/ASCVD outcomes. We aimed to explore the association between CDAI and the prevalence of CVD/ASCVD, as well as CVD mortality in individuals with dyslipidemia.
