Pyroptosis is a novel inflammatory form of regulated cell death (RCD), characterized by cell swelling, membrane rupture, and pro-inflammatory effects. It is recognized as a potent inflammatory response required for maintaining organismal homeostasis. However, excessive and persistent pyroptosis contributes ...
the brain, bone, pleura, liver, or adrenal gland; by comparison, only 6 patients have been documented with progressed disease in the TCGA stage I cohort (Fig.1d). Distributions of age, smoking, sex, histologic and International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) grade in the...
During inflammation, the liver is stimulated to release plasma proteins, collectively known as: acute phase reactants.The synthesis of many plasma proteins by the liver is increased during inflammation. These proteins, which can be either proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory in nature, are referred ...
Review what is known about the impact of inflammation (acute or chronic) on selection, use, and interpretation of biomarkers specifically and nutrition more broadly, including basic biology to explain the nature of nutrition/inflammation interactions, implications for the use and interpretation of biomar...
of rest. However, all of them could be compromised by tobacco and alcohol. Regular high consumption of alcohol has been known to lead to inflammation and irritation of the esophagus, larynx and liver. When time goes, the chronic inflammation might enhance tumor growth and increase the risk of...
In addition to ischaemia, further organ damage is caused by the restoration of blood flow to organs; this damage is known as ischaemia–reperfusion injury. MAPKs in the brain are activated both in response to hypoxia and several minutes after reperfusion. MAPK inhibition has been shown to amelio...
One animal model alsofoundthat regular consumption ofsucralose, also known as Splenda, could cause liver inflammation in mice. 6. Vegetable oil Heavily processed or refined vegetable oils are very high inomega-6 fatty acids. Although omega-6 fatty acids are an important component of a healthy di...

Also known as microparticles. Type of extracellular vesicles of approximately 50–1,000 nm in diameter that are released from the plasma membrane of cells. Neointima Type of scar tissue in blood vessels formed as a consequence of a surgical intervention, such as angioplasty or stent placement....
Atherosclerosis is the process of plaque formation including various cells, lipids, and debris tissue in the vascular intima,1which is identified as a chronic vascular inflammation mediated by traditional and nontraditional risk factors.2Atherosclerosis was traditionally regarded as a disease of cholesterol...
