Preventing Ischial Pressure Ulcers: I. Review of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation by Hilton M. Kaplan, Gerald E. Loeb

“…Pathophysiological mechanisms include reduced bulk and perfusion of chronically atrophic muscles as well as prolonged occlusion of blood flow to soft tissues from lack of voluntary postural shifting of body weight. This has suggested that PUs might be prevented by reanimating the paralyzed muscles using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). …”

Oral Supplementation with Three Vegetable Oils Differing in Fatty Acid Composition Alleviates High-Fat Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice by Regulating Inflammation and Lipid Metabolism by Waleed Aldamarany, Huang Taocui, Deng Liling, Yang Wanfu, Geng Zhong

“…Mice were divided into five groups: ND, mice fed a normal diet; HFD, mice fed a high-fat diet; PSO, SFO, and TSO, mice fed a high-fat diet supplemented with PSO, SFO, and TSO at 2 g/kg body weight per day, respectively. Our findings showed that oral supplementation with all three oils for 8 weeks significantly reduced body weight, tissue weight, insulin resistance index, serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and free fatty acids (FFA), and markedly alleviated hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hepatic steatosis in obese mice. …”

Protective effect of brain and muscle arnt-like protein-1 against ethanol-induced ferroptosis by activating Nrf2 in mice liver and HepG2 cells by Yanan Zhao, Ranran Zhang, Ziheng Chen, Ziyi Wang, Shuang Guan, Jing Lu

“…Upon exposure to alcohol (5 % Lieber-DeCarli liquid alcohol diet for 10 days before binged alcohol with 5 g/kg body weight in vivo, 300 mmol/L for 12 h in vitro, respectively), the content of iron, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) was boosted significantly while glutathione (GSH) was decreased that mainly based on the downregulated protein expression of ferritin heavy chain (FTH), ferroportin (FPN), heme oxygenase1(HO-1) and anti-cystine/glutamate antiporter (SLC7A11), while these changes could be abolished by ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1[Fer-1 (5 mg/kg body weight for 10 days in vivo, 10 μmol/L for 2 h in vitro, respectively)]. …”
