This narrative review provides an analysis of the role nitric oxide (NO) and its precursors, particularly L-arginine, in vascular regulation health, with emphasis on findings from our experimental research animal models. NO serves as a critical mediator function, contributing to vasodilation, blood flow, prevention thrombosis. As primary precursor NO, L-arginine is essential for maintaining endothelial integrity, modulating mitochondrial reducing oxidative damage. synthesises data contextualises these within physiological challenges faced by donors, such repeated donation associated stress. It examines effects supplementation respiration, lipid peroxidation, microsomal oxidation different conditions, including differences age, gender, dietary interventions. The mechanisms which enhances production, improves elasticity, alleviates dysfunction caused reduced bioavailability are also investigated. By integrating insights existing literature, this perspective potential address specific needs donors. highlights importance personalised nutritional approaches enhancing donor recovery resilience. In addition, assesses wider implications mitigating stress preserving function. interplay between bioavailability, factors, adaptation donors highlighted, along identification current knowledge gaps recommendations future research. presenting both original evidence synthesis article therapeutic promoting health context donation.

Long-lasting brain fatigue is a consequence of stroke or traumatic injury associated with emotional, psychological, and physical overload, distress in hypertension, atherosclerosis, viral infection, aging-related chronic low-grade inflammatory disorders. The pathogenesis linked to disrupted neurotransmission, the glutamate-glutamine cycle imbalance, glucose metabolism, ATP energy supply, which are multiple molecular targets signaling pathways neuroendocrine-immune blood circulation systems. Regeneration damaged tissue long-lasting multistage process, including spontaneously regulating hypothalamus-pituitary (HPA) axis-controlled anabolic-catabolic homeostasis recover harmonized sympathoadrenal system (SAS)-mediated function, deregulated gene expression rehabilitation. driving mechanism spontaneous recovery regeneration cross-talk mediators neuronal, microglia, immunocompetent, endothelial cells collectively involved neurogenesis angiogenesis, plant adaptogens can target. Adaptogens small molecules origin that increase adaptability organisms stress by interaction HPA axis SAS (neuroendocrine-immune cardiovascular complex), targeting adaptive GPCR pathways. Two major groups comprise (i) phenolic phenethyl phenylpropanoid derivatives (ii) tetracyclic pentacyclic glycosides, whose chemical structure be distinguished as related correspondingly monoamine neurotransmitters (epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine) steroid hormones (cortisol, testosterone, estradiol). In this narrative review, we discuss multitarget integrated pharmacological activity botanical ischemic stroke, fatigue; time-dependent dual response physiological regulatory systems support overload; (iii) dose-dependent reversal (hormetic) effect adaptogens. This review shows adaptogenic concept cannot reduced rectified various effects on selected specific modes action without estimating their interactions within networks complex that, turn, regulates other (cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, reproductive systems) due numerous intra- extracellular communications feedback regulations.
