“A team of scientists recently identified several epitopes in the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a crucial step in vaccine development strategies. Epitopes are regions on viral proteins that immune cells bind to drive a targeted immune response.”

“Nrf2, a protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant and stress response proteins, induces HO-1 expression. The authors of the study gave mice sulforaphane (5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight) or corn oil with saline via injection.”

“Now a new study in mice shows that eating broccoli protects the gut. Molecules in broccoli interact with proteins present in the small intestine, increasing the number of cells involved in safeguarding the gut.”

“And research in mice shows that oral bacteria over-stimulate microglia, impairing their ability to eliminate amyloid-beta, a harmful protein linked to Alzheimer's. Read full publication.”

“Other hormetic responses to cold exposure include increased production of PGC1-alpha, a protein that promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, the production of new, healthy mitochondria, and the activation of brown fat – a phenomenon once thought to occur only in newborns, but now known to occur in adults, especially after cold exposure.”

“However, both groups' behavioral symptoms improved during the second phase, as did markers of oxidative stress, mitochondrial respiration, inflammation, and heat shock proteins. The supplement elicited no adverse effects and was well tolerated.”

“Interestingly, some evidence suggests collagen supplementation in the setting of exercise recovery reduces joint pain and improves joint functionality but appears to have no significant effect on post-exercise muscle protein synthesis necessary for hypertrophy and muscle collagen protein synthesis.”

“PPO converts susceptible polyphenols into reactive quinones, which can then react with other polyphenols, amino acids, and proteins. The compounds are not simply erased, but their chemical form changes—and with it, their absorption and possible biological activity.”

“they run living things, and NAD coenzymes are the wiring for the high energy electrons." - Charles Brenner, Ph.D. Dr. Charles Brenner (@CharlesMBrenner on X) describes himself first as an enzymologist—someone interested in enzymes and proteins that bind nucleotides.”

“Previous research has suggested a connection between vitamin D deficiency and C-reactive protein (CRP), a protein that increases in the blood in response to inflammation and infection. Furthermore, elevated blood levels of CRP are indicative of severe COVID-19.”
