Any abnormalities in GABA metabolism, including variants in genes encoding enzymes responsible for GABA synthesis and degradation, transporters, and receptors, may lead to diseases. This article provides an overview of genetic variants identified in various components of the GABAergic system and their association with different diseases.
In this article, we define the difference between “flush” and “no-flush" niacin, highlight their key differences, and explore how each form may impact cholesterol levels and overall cardiovascular health. While flush niacin has well-documented effects on blood lipids, it’s also associated with skin flushing — a side effect that no-flush niacin is designed to avoid, though possibly with different therapeutic outcomes.
Far from being just a stimulant that keeps smokers hooked, nicotine plays a role in cognition, neuroprotection, inflammation, circulation, and even pain regulation. But here’s the catch: context is everything. The effects of nicotine depend on dose, delivery, and individual factors, meaning there’s a world of difference between puffing a cigarette and controlled nicotine use.
The gut is often considered the body's "second brain," with roles in mood regulation and immune function that expand beyond its primary job of digestion. It’s perhaps unsurprising that nicotine, the primary active compound found in tobacco products, has been the topic of intense research due to its wide-ranging effects on the body.
Glutathione is an antioxidant tripeptide found in nearly all eukaryotes that results from cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid. It is present at the same concentration as glucose and cholesterol in most cells. Such a high level highlights its importance, especially when considering the metabolic activity required for its production. In this article, we'll focus on the relationship between glutamine and glutathione, specifically their interplay and glutathione's roles and therapeutic applications.
Apigenin is principally known for its antioxidant properties [3], but it also presents hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and cytostatic and cytotoxic properties for various cancer cells. Finally, apigenin possesses antidepressant effects, and its anxiolytic properties will be the focus of this article.
