“Mice that ate on a time-restricted schedule had fewer active genes involved in inflammation and oxidative stress and more active genes involved in metabolism and autophagy – a cellular defense mechanism.”

“The locus coeruleus is the primary region of the brain responsible for norepinephrine production. It is located in the pons and participates in the body's response to stress, attention, emotion, motivation, decision-making, learning, and memory.”

“Physical exertion and strong emotions activate the body's stress response, triggering the release of hormones that restrict blood flow to the body's tissues, including the heart. A 2016 study found that these stressors increase the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack).”

“These findings suggest that air pollution contributes to the development of eczema. Given that PM2.5 can infiltrate the skin and contribute to skin barrier dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation, addressing air pollution could be a key strategy for preventing and managing eczema.”

“These improvements persisted through week 12. However, participants with post-traumatic stress disorder experienced less benefit, indicating that having more than one neuropsychiatric condition may influence treatment response.”

“In people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), traumatic experiences can resurface as vivid flashbacks and intense avoidance, often lasting months or even years. While therapy and medications can help, many people don't respond fully.”

“A 40-day cluster-randomized crossover trial involving 149 schoolchildren found lower pyrethroid and neonicotinoid pesticide exposure during the organic-diet period, along with reductions over time in biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation, including markers of oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxidation.”

“Creatine improved several depression-like behaviors in mice. It reduced how long the animals remained passive in stress-based tests, improved social interaction, and increased preference for sweet solutions, a common measure of motivation or pleasure-related behavior in animals.”

“Sugar can be broken down quickly, and it also helps provide raw materials cells need when they are growing or producing immune signals. Higher fitness may matter because it reflects a body with greater capacity to move oxygen and fuel through the bloodstream during physical stress.”

“Plastics may be a hidden contributor to heart disease: chemical additives that disrupt hormone function and damage blood vessels. Evidence indicates that di-2-ethylhexylphthalate (DEHP)—a phthalate used to soften plastics—drives oxidative stress, metabolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease.”
