Tuesday, June 22, 2021

ROSEVILLE, Calif., June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --New research published in the Journal of Medicinal Food suggests eating prunes each day can improve risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) including raising antioxidant capacity and reducing inflammation among healthy, postmenopausal women.

Key Points: 
  • ROSEVILLE, Calif., June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --New research published in the Journal of Medicinal Food suggests eating prunes each day can improve risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) including raising antioxidant capacity and reducing inflammation among healthy, postmenopausal women.
  • The research led by San Diego State University reveals that prunes can positively affect heart disease risk.
  • Eating prunes daily also promoted higher antioxidant capacity and lowered levels of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha associated with CVD risk.
  • Notably, body mass index and weight of the study participants were maintained during the trial despite adding prunes to the usual diet.

New data presented at Virtual EULAR 2021 Congress by AKL Research and Development demonstrate its investigational osteoarthritis drug APPA reduces senescence and reactive oxygen species production

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, June 2, 2021

Findings from the study indicate its investigational oral osteoarthritis (OA) drug APPA can reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and senescence of human articular chondrocytes, both indicators associated with OA pathogenesis.

Key Points: 
  • Findings from the study indicate its investigational oral osteoarthritis (OA) drug APPA can reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and senescence of human articular chondrocytes, both indicators associated with OA pathogenesis.
  • In chondrocytes, senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors, such as pro-inflammatory cytokines and extracellular matrix degrading enzymes, can contribute to the development and progression of OA[2][3].
  • This research builds on previous work from INBIC and other laboratories that showed APPA modifies a number of pathways involved in the development of OA.
