question:
Context: Event-related potentials (ERPs) are sensitive measures of both perceptual and cognitive processes. The aim of the present study was to identify brain regions involved in the processes of cognitive dysfunction in narcolepsy by means of ERP tomography.', 'In 17 drug-free patients with narcolepsy and 17 controls, ERPs were recorded (auditory odd-ball paradigm). Latencies, amplitudes and LORETA sources were determined for standard (N1 and P2) and target (N2 and P300) ERP components. Psychometry included measures of mental performance, affect and critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF).', 'In the ERPs patients demonstrated delayed cognitive N2 and P300 components and reduced amplitudes in midline regions, while N1 and P2 components did not differ from controls. LORETA suggested reduced P300 sources bilaterally in the precuneus, the anterior and posterior cingulate gyri, the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and the parahippocampal gyrus. In psychometry, patients demonstrated deteriorated mood, increased trait anxiety, decreased CFF and a trend toward reduced general verbal memory and psychomotor activity.
Answer: Narcoleptic patients showed prolonged information processing, as indexed by N2 and P300 latencies and decreased energetic resources for cognitive processing.
answer:
Does event-related-potential low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography ( ERP-LORETA ) suggest decreased energetic resources for cognitive processing in narcolepsy?


question:
Context: Oligonol, mainly found in lychee fruit, is an antioxidant polyphenolic compound which has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. The detailed mechanisms by which oligonol may act as an anti-aging molecule have not been determined.', 'In this study, we evaluated the ability of oligonol to modulate sirtuin (SIRT) expression in human lung epithelial (A549) cells. Oligonol was added to A549 cells and reactive oxygen species production, mitochondrial superoxide formation, and p21 protein levels were measured. Signaling pathways activated upon oligonol treatment were also determined by western blotting. Furthermore, the anti-aging effect of oligonol was evaluated ex vivo in mouse splenocytes and in vivo in Caenorhabditis elegans.', 'Oligonol specifically induced the expression of SIRT1, whose activity is linked to gene expression, metabolic control, and healthy aging. In response to influenza virus infection of A549 cells, oligonol treatment significantly up-regulated SIRT1 expression and down-regulated viral hemagglutinin expression. Oligonol treatment also resulted in the activation of autophagy pathways and the phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Furthermore, oligonol-treated spleen lymphocytes from old mice showed increased cell proliferation, and mRNA levels of SIRT1 in the lungs of old mice were significantly lower than those in the lungs of young mice. Additionally, in vivo lethality assay revealed that oligonol extended the lifespan of C. elegans infected with lethal Vibrio cholerae.
Answer: These data demonstrated that oligonol may act as an anti-aging molecule by modulating SIRT1/autophagy/AMPK pathways.
answer:
Does oligonol promote anti-aging pathways via modulation of SIRT1-AMPK-Autophagy Pathway?


question:
Context: Potassium transport via the potassium chloride cotransporter in rainbow trout erythrocytes is increased by high oxygen tension. It appears that the effect of oxygen is mediated by reactive oxygen species, especially hydroxyl radicals. In contrast, the activity of adrenergically stimulated sodium proton exchange decreases with increasing oxygen tension. As available data suggest that the two transporters are regulated reciprocally, the present study was undertaken to evaluate, if hydroxyl radicals may inhibit sodium transport via the adrenergically stimulated sodium proton exchanger.', 'The effects of the hydroxyl radical scavenger, 2 mm mercaptopropionyl glycine (MPG), on the activity of the adrenergically activated sodium proton exchange in rainbow trout erythrocytes were examined by measuring unidirectional sodium flux, using radioactive isotope, and cellular water content.', 'The activity of the sodium proton exchange increased with decreasing oxygen tension after adrenergic stimulation. When MPG was present during incubation, there was no statistically significant effect of oxygen tension on the adrenergically stimulated sodium proton exchange, whereby the activity of the transporter at atmospheric oxygen tension was markedly higher in the presence than in the absence of MPG. In the absence of adrenergic stimulation, MPG did not influence the transporter activity significantly at any oxygen tension.
Answer: The data suggest that hydroxyl radicals are involved in the inhibition of the adrenergically stimulated sodium proton exchange at elevated oxygen tensions.
answer:

Is oxygen dependency of the adrenergic Na/H exchange in rainbow trout erythrocytes diminished by a hydroxyl radical scavenger?
