Protective Effect of Cyclically Pressurized Solid⁻Liquid Extraction Polyphenols from Grape Pomace on Oxidative Endothelial Cell Death.
(
MDPI
, 2018 , Article)
The aim of this work is the evaluation of a green extraction technology to exploit winery waste byproducts. Specifically, a solid⁻liquid extraction technology (Naviglio Extractor) was used to obtain polyphenolic antioxidants ...
Antioxidant Activity Mediates Pirfenidone Antifibrotic Effects in Human Pulmonary Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Exposed to Sera of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients.
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2018 , Article)
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic lung disease characterized by an exacerbated fibrotic response. Although molecular and cellular determinants involved in the onset and progression of this devastating disease ...
Resveratrol-Elicited PKC Inhibition Counteracts NOX-Mediated Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Human Retinal Endothelial Cells Exposed to High Glucose
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Diabetes-associated long-term hyperglycaemia leads to oxidative stress-mediated fibrosis in different tissues and organs. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal-transition (EndMT) appears to play a role in diabetes-associated fibrotic ...
Resveratrol Inhibits Oxidative Stress and Prevents Mitochondrial Damage Induced by Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles in Zebrafish (Danio rerio)
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Despite their wide industrial use, Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a high
toxic potential while concerns of their health-related risks are still present, urging additional in vivo
clarification studies. ...
Flavin Oxidase-Induced ROS Generation Modulates PKC Biphasic Effect of Resveratrol on Endothelial Cell Survival.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Dietary intake of natural antioxidants is thought to impart protection against oxidative-associated cardiovascular diseases. Despite many in vivo studies and clinical trials, this issue has not been conclusively resolved. ...
EndMT regulation by small RNAs in diabetes-associated fibrotic conditions: potential link with oxidative stress
(
Frontiers Media
, 2021 , Article)
Diabetes-associated complications, such as retinopathy, nephropathy, cardiomyopathy, and atherosclerosis, the main consequences of long-term hyperglycemia, often lead to organ dysfunction, disability, and increased mortality. ...
Reduced vasorin enhances angiotensin II signaling within the aging arterial wall
(
Impact Journals
, 2018 , Article)
The glycosylated protein vasorin physically interacts with the transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) and functionally attenuates its fibrogenic signaling in the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) of the arterial wall. ...
Non-coding RNAs as biomarkers of myocardial infarction
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) encompass a family of ubiquitous RNA molecules that lack protein-coding potential and have tissue-specific expression. A significant body of evidence indicates that ncRNA's aberrant expression plays ...
Cytoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-migratory activity of Pistacia lentiscus L. supercritical carbon dioxide extract on primary human endothelial cells
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
Green chemistry is a useful tool for producing valuable chemicals from biomass. However, extracted compounds need to be tested for safety and efficacy before their use in humans. Here we investigate the chemical composition ...
Potential Therapeutic Targets of Resveratrol in the Prevention and Treatment of Pulmonary Fibrosis
(
IMR Press Limited
, 2023 , Article)
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a feared component in over 200 interstitial pulmonary diseases, which are characterized by increased alveolar wall thickness, excessive scarring, and aberrant extracellular matrix restructuring ...
