Juçara (Euterpe edulis) is a native Brazilian palm tree from the Atlantic Forest, whose fruit-processing waste can present high concentration of antioxidant compounds. This research was assessed to determine the antioxidant potential of juçara waste extracts aiming to reduce the lipid and protein oxidation processes on conventional and a…[Read more]

Moreover, we revealed that GAS pretreatment enhanced the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 under H2O2 treatment. Knockdown of Nrf2 expression abolished the protective effects of GAS on H2O2-treated H9c2 cells. Our results suggest that GAS may protect H9c2 cardiomycytes against oxidative injury via increasing the nuclear translocation of Nrf2,…[Read more]

In the human body, joint cartilage is of great importance. It has long been a big therapeutic problem to fix joint cartilage lesions as it appears due to different conditions. Recent stories have shown that the cartilage replacement process must delay the extracellular (ECM) cartilage deterioration and modulate the host’s inflammation response.…[Read more]
