: The multifactorial nature of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) implicates genetic, environmental, and dietary habits. Antioxidants found in foods have garnered attention for their potential role mitigating ASCVD risk by combating oxidative stress. This study seeks to confirm the findings previous research through a large-scale cross-sectional analysis performed unique population with Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey data explore association between composite antioxidant index (CDAI) prevalence among middle- old-aged individuals South Korea.

Cancer is the second-highest mortality rate disease worldwide, and it has been estimated that cancer will increase by up to 20 million cases yearly 2030. There are various options of treatment for cancer, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy. All these have damaging adverse effects can reduce patient’s quality life. itself arises from a series mutations in normal cells generate ability divide uncontrollably. This cell mutation happen as result DNA damage induced high concentration ROS cells. High levels reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause oxidative stress, which initiate proliferation. On other hand, cytotoxic effect elevated be utilized anticancer therapy. Some bioactive compounds natural foods such fruit, vegetables, herbs, honey, many more identified promising source antioxidants prevent stress regulating level body. In this review, we highlighted discussed benefits antioxidant regulate through pathways.

Abstract Background Insulin resistance (IR) significantly contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and triglyceride glucose-body mass (TyG-BMI) are recognised as convenient proxies for IR. However, their relationship with sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) remains unclear. Methods This prospective cohort analysis included 355,242 UK Biobank participants available TyG TyG-BMI data no history of CVD. Cox proportional risk models assessed the association between index, SCA risk. Additionally, Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) were employed investigate timing onset. The impact dynamic increases in levels on was examined using restricted cubic spline. Results Over a median follow-up period 165.4 months (interquartile range 156.5–174 months), 1,622 cases recorded. Multivariate regression revealed 9% increase per standard deviation (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 1.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04–1.15) an 14% (aHR 1.14, CI 1.09–1.2).

Triterpenoids, such as ganoderic acid, and polysaccharides, including β-D-glucans, α-D-glucans, α-D-mannans, are the main secondary metabolites of medicinal fungus Ganoderma lucidum. There is evidence effects acid in hematological malignancies, whose mechanisms involve stimulation immune response, macrophage-like differentiation, activation MAP-K pathway, an IL3-dependent cytotoxic action, induction cytoprotective autophagy, apoptosis. In fact, this compound has been tested twenty-six different human cancer cell types shown anti-proliferative activity, especially leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma lines. Moreover, research clarified capability molecules from lucidum to induce mitochondrial damage acute promyelocytic leukemia cells, without normal mononuclear cells. Active lipids extracted spores have also apoptosis mediated by downregulation P-Akt upregulation caspases-3, -8, -9. Among vivo studies, a study BALB/c mice injected with WEHI-3 leukemic cells suggested that treatment promotes differentiation T- B-cell precursors, phagocytosis PBMCs, NK activity. Our review presents data revealing possibility employing malignancies incorporating it into clinical practice.

MicroRNAs are small, noncoding molecules of about twenty-two nucleotides with crucial roles in both healthy and pathological cells. Their expression depends not only on genetic factors, but also epigenetic mechanisms like genomic imprinting inactivation X chromosome females that influence a sex-dependent manner onset, progression, response to therapy different diseases cancer. There is evidence correlation between miRNAs, sex, cancer solid tumors hematological malignancies; as an example, lymphomas, prevalence rate higher men than women, miR-142 “silenced” because its hypermethylation by DNA methyltransferase-1 it blocked normal activity regulating the migration cell. This condition corresponds clinical practice more aggressive tumor. In addition, treatment can have advantages from evaluation miRNAs expression; fact, estrogens hepatocellular carcinoma determines upregulation oncosuppressors miR-26a, miR-92, miR-122 and, consequently, apoptosis.

Diet quality is closely related to the occurrence of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers; however, few studies have investigated association between Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2020) and alternative Mediterranean diet (aMED) scores GI cancers. This study aims assess HEI-2020, aMED Information from a total 26,320 participants was included in National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). In our sub-analysis, we focused on with complete dietary health data, specifically assessing relationship cancers outcomes. The 24-hour recall questionnaire used collect participants' average intake. Diagnoses were based self-reported medical history confirmed through physician interviews or linked cancer registry ensuring diagnostic reliability. Logistic regression models, restricted cubic splines (RCS), subgroup analysis, interaction methods employed fully evaluate associations scores, Mediation analysis also conducted identify potential mediators this relationship. Even after adjusting for confounders, high adherence HEI-2020-2020 significantly associated reduced risk Compared lowest tertile highest had 30% (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.50 0.98, p = 0.037). 37% 0.63, 0.44 0.92, 0.014).
