Abstract Parkinson disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases brain. Of note, brain renin‐angiotensin system (RAS) intricate in PD neuropathology through modulation oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and neuroinflammation. Therefore, RAS by angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) may be effective reducing risk neuropathology. It has been shown that all components including peptides enzymes are present different areas. Brain plays a critical role regulation memory cognitive function, controlling central blood pressure. However, exaggerated implicated pathogenesis PD. Two well‐known pathways recognized including; classical pathway which mainly mediated AngII/AT1R detrimental effects. Conversely, non‐classical mostly ACE2/Ang1‐7/MASR AngII/AT2R beneficial effects against Exaggerated affects viability dopaminergic neurons. fundamental mechanism was not fully elucidated. Consequently, purpose this review to disclose mechanistic In addition, we try revise how ACEIs ARBs can developed for therapeutics

Abstract Neprilysin (NEP) is a transmembrane zinc‐dependent metalloproteinase that inactivates various peptide hormones including glucagon‐like 1 (GLP‐1). NEP inhibitors may be effective in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by increasing circulating level GLP‐1. However, acute‐effect lead to detrimental effects blood glucose independent These findings suggest controversial point regarding potential role on homeostasis T2DM patients. Therefore, this perspective aimed clarify points concerning T2DM. beneficial inhibition NEP, which involved impairment through modulation insulin resistance. increases dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP4) activity and contributes active GLP‐1 proteolysis so improve glycemic control endogenous reduction DPP4 activity.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is prevalent around the world, yet our understanding of still very limited. Recent work suggests that cornerstone AD may include inflammation accompanies it. Failure a normal pro-inflammatory immune response to resolve lead persistent central contributes unsuccessful clearance amyloid-beta plaques as they form, neuronal death, and ultimately cognitive decline. Individual metabolic, dietary (lipid) profiles can differentially regulate this inflammatory process with aging, obesity, poor diet, early life stress other factors contributing greater risk developing AD. Here, we integrate evidence for interface between these factors, how contribute brain milieu. In particular, discuss importance appropriate polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in diet metabolism specialised pro-resolving mediators (SPMs); raising possibility strategies improve outlook.
