Citicoline is a neuroprotective agent Citicoline is one of the common drugs used in the treatment of central nervous system. It is often used in the treatment of cerebral infarction, cerebral insufficiency, cerebral atrophy and other diseases, especially for patients with cerebral infarction. The essence of citicoline is an activator of energy metabolism, which plays…
How about glutathione for melasma? Recently, many friends are asking, can glutathione treat melasma? That’s a good question! As a dermatologist, I’m here to talk about it. Melasma, also known as “butterfly spots”, is a common skin problem that afflicts many women, and asymmetrical yellowish-brown patches on the face are really annoying. Glutathione, also known…
Glutathione (GSH) is a naturally occurring antioxidant produced by the liver and central nervous system that is said to help metabolize toxins, break down free radicals, support immune function, and more. Researchers have explored its potential use for diseases such as cystic fibrosis, chemotherapy-related toxicity, and Parkinson’s disease. There is currently insufficient scientific evidence to…
What are important functions and effects of citicoline? Citicoline, or CDP-choline, is an important biochemical substance. In our bodies, it is widely used to synthesize phospholipids, especially the main components of cell membranes. Citicoline has a wide range of functions, especially in the health of the nervous system and cognitive function plays an important role….
Research points This article investigates the metabolic mechanism of glutathione (GSH) as an antioxidant in Corynebacterium glutamicum, and constructs an efficient glutathione producing strain through metabolic engineering and fermentation optimization strategies. Research has found that by modifying glutathione synthase (GshF), knocking out genes related to hydrogen sulfide production and glutathione degradation, and combining with overexpression…
Introduction to glutathione Glutathione (GSH) is a non-essential amino acid that is widely present in the body and plays an important role in maintaining the normal function of cells. It is not only an important antioxidant, but also a compound involved in a variety of biochemical reactions. Source of glutathione Glutathione is mainly found in…
To investigate the role of NMN in blood vessel formation, a joint study was conducted by Harvard University, Princeton University and Swiss research institutions. The decline of blood vessel function, especially the deterioration of blood vessels that flow through the body, is closely related to the aging process. Research process and discovery 1. Subjects and…
Ischemic injury is the number one cause of death and disease in the world, including the United States and China, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene therapy holds promise for patients with ischemic injury. However, the high immunogenicity of traditional viral vectors (such as adeno-associated virus AAV) and the low expression efficiency of lipid…
Abstract Recently, Zhong Cheng/Xin Bo team of Tianjin University of Science and Technology College of Bioengineering published an article in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry: Tandem GGDEF-EAL domain proteins pleiotropically modulates c-di-GMP metabolism enrolled in bacterial cellulose Biosynthesis (https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jafc.4c07301), which reported GGDEF – EAL tandem structure domain protein c – di – GMP…
When a metabolic function is “leaky” to the community (i.e., partially available to other species), microbes can save energy by stopping production of that function and relying on other species to perform it. Metabolic dependence in organisms can be formed by the loss of certain easily replaceable functions, such as the active deletion of certain…
