Inhibitory properties of a latent inhibitor after its compound preexposure with several novel stimuli: evidence from human conditioning by Unai Liberal, Gabriel Rodríguez, Paula Nogueiras, James Byron Nelson, Geoffrey Hall, Geoffrey Hall

“…These results suggest that compound pre-exposure facilitates the acquisition of inhibitory properties in humans, consistent with findings from animal studies. The findings are discussed within the framework of Hall-Rodríguez model, emphasizing the role of expectancy violation during pre-exposure in strengthening inhibitory associations. …”

Intermittent hypoxia training improves cerebral blood flow without cognitive impairment by Qihan Zhang, Qing Wang, Feiyang Jin, Dan Huang, Xunming Ji, Yuan Wang

“…Abstract Objective Brief exposure to intermittent hypoxia has been shown to potentially induce protective effects in the body. Animal studies suggest that intermittent hypoxia could increase cerebral blood flow and confer resistance to subsequent hypoxic–ischemic injury, yet clinical investigations are limited. …”

Se-methylselenocysteine inhibits inflammatory response in an LPS-stimulated chicken HD11 macrophage-like cell model through the NFKB2 pathway by Min Yao, Binyu Wang, Zitong Li, Suqing Wu, Bingyu Zhao, Ning Sun, Huiping Xiao, Jianwu Wang, Guoping Liu, Tinghua Huang

“…The administration SeMC was observed to reduce the production of ROS as well as the transcription and translation of inflammatory cytokines in both cell culture and in vivo animal studies. One candidate pathway by which SeMC exerts its effects is through the targeting of the transcription factor, NFKB2, by selenoprotein TXN2. …”

L-Citrulline in Neonates: From Bench to Bed Side by Dwayne Mascarenhas, Atefeh Mohammadi, Randa Higazy, Julijana Ivanovska, Estelle Gauda, Bonny Jasani

“…Detoxification of endogenously produced superoxide radicals is inadequate in preterm infants due to immature antioxidants that leads to the production of peroxynitrite, a reactive oxygen-free radical that is cytotoxic and causes damage to organelles and cellular membranes, further disrupting the coupling of endothelial NO synthase enzyme and the generation of high levels of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species. Animal studies in lipopolysaccharide-induced models of chorioamnionitis and hyperoxia- and inflammation-induced BPD-PH in rodent lung models revealed that L-CIT supplementation significantly mitigated structural changes in the pulmonary vasculature, preserved alveolar growth, and increased vascular endothelial growth factor gene expression, highlighting the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of L-CIT supplementation. …”
