Anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids may help stave off conditions linked to aging like Alzheimer’s and heart disease
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats long held to be good for health. These fats provide the starting point for the production of hormones that regulate blood clotting, the contraction and relaxation of artery walls, and inflammation. Studies show that omega-3 fatty acids help prevent age-related conditions like heart disease, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease, and that eating […]

Intermittent fasting 101: How many hours do you have to fast to reap its benefits?
Intermittent fasting (IF) is a popular eating pattern that offers several benefits, such as promoting weight loss and the burning of fats via ketosis. IF can also minimize inflammation by triggering processes like autophagy. But how long do you need to fast before you experience any of its benefits? Experiencing the benefits of IF may take time for […]

Can nicotinamides address liver cell death and treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease?
Nicotinamide, also known as niacinamide, is a form of vitamin B3 found in food and used as a dietary supplement. A study published in the journal Nutrition Research suggested that this nutrient can help prevent liver cell death and treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). According to the study, nicotinamide exhibits anti-lipotoxic activity. Lipotoxicity, which is induced […]

Nicotinamide protects hepatocytes from palmitate-induced cell death
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, and Harbin Medical University in China examined the anti-lipotoxic effect of nicotinamide. The results of their study were published in the journal Nutrition Research. Lipotoxicity induced by saturated fatty acids contributes to the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); however, the exact mechanism behind […]

Surprising new study may help scientists stop cancer from occurring in the first place
Autophagy is the natural process of reusing the damaged parts of cells for cell repair and regeneration. A new study revealed that autophagy could stop the formation of “undying” cancer cells. Researchers from the Salk Institute were evaluating the potential links between telomeres and the risk of cancer when they discovered this. Telomeres are molecules that cap the ends of chromosomes – they ensure that […]

Plumbagin, a compound present in carnivorous plants, has anticancer potential
Plants with anticancer properties are of great interest to the scientific community due to the wide variety of mechanisms by which they exhibit their anticarcinogenic activities. Some of the most common modes of action taken by these plants’ bioactive components include inhibition of growth, induction of apoptosis, and disruption of the cell cycle. In a recently published article […]
