Oxeia is developing a first-in-class synthetic human ghrelin—an endogenous hormone that crosses the blood-brain barrier—therapy to target the hippocampus. By restoring normal energy metabolism and reducing the toxicity caused by reactive oxygen species (which form in low-energy states), it...

I just want to make a comment about iron supplements in general. I was told to take Palafer many years ago and it was too much (300 mg) to take at once since our body only absorbs 10% and the rest has to be filtered out through the liver which makes us feel sick. This was the best iron...

Conclusion In the past few years, we have made great progress in understanding the mechanism of energy metabolism in migraine. KCL-induced CSD and nitroglycerin-induced cerebral vasodilation are commonly used migraine models, which can cause disorders of energy metabolism and lead to oxidative...

Study will test Humira as potentially preventive treatment in Parkinson’s The trial will assess whether an existing treatment for autoimmune disorders can impede the emergence of Parkinson's symptoms. Hafler and his team have discovered the presence of inflammation in the spinal fluid — the...

Abstract Mitochondrial respiration extends beyond ATP generation, with the organelle participating in many cellular and physiological processes. Parallel changes in components of the mitochondrial electron transfer system with respiration render it an appropriate hub for coordinating cellular...

Introduction: Pulmonary endotheliopathy and microvascular immunothrombosis play a key role in acute COVID-19. Moreover, persistent endotheliopathy and heightened coagulability frequently occur in individuals recovering from COVID-19, suggesting the intriguing possibility of their role in the...

Are they checking your ferritin? My sister has low iron levels from Hashimoto. Did you get your thyroid levels tested?

Abstract Inflammation in the central nervous system can impair the function of neuronal mitochondria and contributes to axon degeneration in the common neuroinflammatory disease multiple sclerosis (MS). Here we combine cell-type-specific mitochondrial proteomics with in vivo biosensor imaging to...
