“Cinnamon is one of the most consumed spices in the world, popular in both sweet and savory dishes in many cuisines. Evidence suggests cinnamon improves lipid profiles and protects against damage induced by oxidative stress.”

“A study in mice demonstrated that when the animals experienced repeated stress, they exhibited a significant drop in hippocampal levels of BDNF. Dietary administration of H. erinaceus extract completely restored BDNF levels.”

“In addition, the participants who took the supplemental zinc exhibited lower levels of serum markers of oxidative stress (malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxyalkenals, and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanine) after just six months of zinc supplementation.”

“Previous research demonstrated that vitamin C can triple respiratory tissue levels within an hour or two of a single oral dose of 1 or 2 grams. This local increase in vitamin C concentration appears to protect against acute increases in airway oxidative stress.”

“Oxidative stress Another team investigated the effects of photobiomodulation combined with exercise on oxidative stress (a driver of inflammation) in an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis.”

“Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is linked to the regulation of a variety of metabolic processes, including the release of insulin, mobilization of lipids, response to stress, and modulation of lifespan. The authors of the study first investigated the role of perilipin 5 (PLIN5), a protein found in lipid droplets that regulates fatty acid oxidation in oxidative tissues.”

“They found that people with high plastic exposure had a 13% greater risk of congestive heart failure than those with lower exposure. In the rats, plastic exposure altered gut bacteria and increased markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in the heart.”

“Oxidative stress likely contributes to anxiety, but antioxidants may help counteract its effects. A recent study found that people with severe anxiety consumed fewer antioxidants than those without anxiety and that increasing antioxidant intake substantially reduced anxiety symptoms.”

“Inflammatory macrophages clear free fatty acids and cellular waste from dysfunctional adipocytes, but may themselves become dysfunctional due to oxidative damage. In this case, macrophages form crown-like structures, which are aggregates of adipose and immune cells that increase localized tissue inflammation.”

“The inflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL-6) dropped more in the supplemented women, even though tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) decreased similarly in both groups. These results link the superior muscle adaptations to better control of oxidative stress and reduced inflammation.”
