In Alzheimer's disease, inflammation happens in and around the protein deposits -- known as amyloid plaques -- that accumulate in the brain.
Though there is a certain logic in using anti-inflammatory drugs against Alzheimer's disease (inflammation of the tissue around the plaques is one of the symptoms), no specific trial of the sort about to be carried out with vitamin E has yet been completed.
During progression of liver disease, inflammation affects survival of hepatocytes.
MRI tests help physicians to diagnose torn ligaments, tumours, circulation (blood flow) problems, eye disease, inflammation (e.g. arthritis) and infection.
As the oldest nanotherapeutic platform in the clinic, LPNs were safe in treating cancer, infectious disease, inflammation, pain, etc. [7 9].
Osteoarthritis is characterized by degradation and loss of articular cartilage, subchondral bone remodeling, and, at the clinical stage of the disease, inflammation of the synovial membrane.
A positive relationship between consumption of food with abundant phenolics and low incidence of degenerative diseases, including cancer, heart disease, inflammation, arthritis, brain dysfunction and cataracts, has been confirmed [1].
Microglia are the resident macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS) and are activated in response to pathological events such as infectious disease, inflammation, neuronal injury, ischemia, brain tumors, and neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders [1 4].
Currently, the Western diet contains a disproportionally high amount of n-6 PUFAs and low amount of n-3 PUFAs, and the resulting high n-6/n-3 ratis is thought to contribute to cardiovascular disease, inflammation, and cancer.
Despite the potential utility of selective A-FABP inhibitors within the fields of metabolic disease, inflammation and atherosclerosis, there are few examples of useful A-FABP inhibitors in the public domain.
Commonly referred to as antioxidants (they are the most abundant antioxidants in our diets), they may prevent various oxidative stress-related diseases, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, inflammation and others.
