Heavy metals are often found in soil and can contaminate drinking water, posing a serious threat to human health. Molecular pathways curation therapies for mitigating heavy metal toxicity have been studied long time. Recent studies on oxidative stress aging shown that the molecular foundation of cellular damage caused by metals, namely, apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, mitochondrial share same as those involved senescence aging. In recent studies, many types exposures used both animal models. Chelation therapy is traditional treatment toxicity. However, recently, various antioxidants be effective treating metal-induced damage, shifting research focus investigating interplay between metals. this review, we introduce basis its relationship with aging, summarize clinical implications, discuss other agents protective effects against damage.

Copper accumulation in neurons induces oxidative stress, disrupts mitochondrial activity, and accelerates neuronal death, which is central to the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases like Wilson disease. Standard treatments for copper toxicity, such as D-penicillamine, trientine, chloroquine, are frequently associated with severe side effects, creating a need safer therapeutic alternatives. To address this, we developed curcumin-loaded nanoemulsion (CUR-NE) using spontaneous emulsification technique, aimed at enhancing bioavailability efficacy curcumin. The optimized displayed particle size 76.42 nm, zeta potential −20.4 mV, high encapsulation efficiency 93.69%, stable uniform structure. vitro tests on SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells demonstrated that CUR-NE effectively protected against copper-induced promoting significant cellular uptake. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed exhibited longer half-life extended circulation time compared free Additionally, pharmacodynamic evaluations, including biochemical assays histopathological analysis, confirmed provided superior neuroprotection overload conditions. These results emphasize ability augment effects curcumin, presenting novel approach managing neurodegeneration. study highlights effectiveness nanoemulsion-based delivery platforms improving chelation neurological diseases.

Stroke and acute myocardial infarction are leading causes of mortality worldwide. The latter accounts for approximately 9 million deaths annually. In turn, ischemic stroke is a significant contributor to adult physical disability globally. While reperfusion crucial tissue recovery, it can paradoxically exacerbate damage through oxidative stress (OS), inflammation, cell death. Therefore, imperative explore diverse approaches aimed at minimizing ischemia/reperfusion injury enhance clinical outcomes. OS primarily arises from an excessive generation reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or decreased endogenous antioxidant potential. Natural compounds counteract the mechanisms linked ROS. promising preclinical results, based on monotherapies, account protective effects against by ROS, translating these models into human applications has yielded controversial evidence. However, since wide spectrum antioxidants having chemical characteristics offers varied biological actions signaling pathways, multitherapy emerged as valuable therapeutic resource. Moreover, combination in holds potential synergistic effects. This study was designed with aim providing updated overview natural suitable preventing cerebral injuries.

Confronting the profound public health concern of alcohol-induced liver damage calls for inventive therapeutic measures. The social, economic, and clinical ramifications are extensive demand a comprehensive understanding. This thorough examination uncovers complex relationship between alcohol intake damage, with special emphasis on pivotal roles Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-κB p65 CYP2E1/ROS/Nrf2 signalling networks. Different consumption patterns, determined by myriad factors, have significant implications health, leading to spectrum adverse effects. TLR4/NF-κB pathway, principal regulator inflammation immune responses, significantly contributes various disease states when its balance is disrupted. Notably, TLR4/MD-2-TNF-α pathway has been linked non-alcohol related disease, while NF-κB activation associated (ALD). subunit NF-κB, primarily responsible release inflammatory cytokines, hastens progression ALD. Breakthrough insights suggest that curcumin, robust antioxidant anti-inflammatory compound sourced from turmeric, effectively disrupts pathway. heralds new approach managing damage. Initial trials support curcumin's potential, highlighting ability substantially reduce enzyme levels. narrative surrounding alcohol-related injury gradually becoming more intricate, intertwining networks such as CYP2E1/ROS/Nrf2. protective role curcumin against marks dawn treatment possibilities.
