MitoQ Antioxidant Prevents Sepsis-induced Diaphragm Weakness in Mice
Article title: Mitoquinone mesylate (MitoQ) prevents sepsis-induced diaphragm dysfunction Authors: Gerald S. Supinski, Elizabeth A. Schroder, Lin Wang, Andrew J. Morris, Leigh Ann P. Callahan From the authors: “This is the first study to show that mitoquinone mesylate (MitoQ), a…
Turning Hazelnut Shells into Potential Renewable Energy Source
In Journal for Renewable and Sustainable Energy, researchers share their work on the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of wood vinegar and tar fraction in bio-oil produced from hazelnut shells pyrolysis at 400 degrees Celsius to 1,000 C. The researchers found the wood vinegar and tar left over after burning the shells contained the most phenolic substances, which laid a foundation for the subsequent research on antioxidant properties.

Muscle Protein That Makes Vertebrates More Fit Linked to Limited Lifespan
Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have added to evidence that a protein called CaMKII improves strength, endurance, muscle health and fitness in young animals. Their experiments working with mice and fruit flies, however, found that the gene for CaMKII also contributes to an evolutionary tradeoff: increased susceptibility to age-associated diseases, frailty and mortality.
A New Beverage with “Blue Pea Flower and Banana Stem Extract” to Reduce the Risk of Urinary Stone Formation — Another Medical Innovation from MED – CU

Sleep, Death and … the Gut?
A new study finds in sleep-deprived fruit flies, premature death is always preceded by the accumulation of reactive oxidative species in the gut. Antioxidant compounds that neutralize ROS allow sleep-deprived flies to have normal lifespans.
Using chemistry to unlock the difference between cold- and hot-brew coffee (video)
Scientists report that the content of potentially health-promoting antioxidants in coffee brewed without heat can differ significantly from a cup of joe prepared the traditional way, particularly for dark roasts.
ANTIOXIDANT REVERSES BPA-INDUCED FERTILITY DAMAGE IN WORMS
At a glance: Treatment with a naturally occurring antioxidant, CoQ10, restores many aspects of fertility in C. elegans worms following exposure to BPA. Findings offer possible path toward undoing BPA-induced reproductive harms in people. Although CoQ10 is available over the counter, it is not yet clear whether the compound could improve human fertility or do so safely.
