Reactive oxygen species (ROS), in excess, can cause disruption to normal cellular function and can damage cells (in particular mitochondria, & DNA of the sperm and egg) and tissues
As the activation of both JNK and caspase-3 contributed to TNF-induced cell death with NF-B inhibition, we examined the effects of HFD consumption on the hepatic activation status of JNK and caspase-3 cleavage
The findings are intriguing because they align with what weve seen in preclinical models and some human studies: GLP-1RAs appear to reduce neuroinflammation, improve insulin signaling in the brain, and potentially slow processes associated with cognitive decline, he noted
