The disruption of L-carnitine metabolism by aluminum toxicity and oxidative stress promotes dyslipidemia in human astrocytic and hepatic cells
L-Carnitine is a critical metabolite indispensable for the metabolism of lipids as it facilitates fatty acid transport into the mitochondrion where β-oxidation occurs.... It appears...
Silicic acid its gastrointestinal uptake and urinary excretion in man and effects on aluminium excretion
Silicon (Si), as silicic acid, is suggested to be the natural antidote to aluminium (Al) toxicity, and was recently shown to promote the urinary excretion...
Silica therapy to reduce the body burden of aluminium
There are unexplained links between human exposure to aluminium and the incidence, progression and aetiology of Alzheimer's disease.... The reduction in urinary aluminium supported the...
Quercetin protects against chronic aluminum-induced oxidative stress and ensuing biochemical, cholinergic, and neurobehavioral impairments in rats
In this study, we investigated the protective effect of chronic quercetin (a natural flavanoid) administration against Al-induced cognitive impairments, oxidative damage, and cholinergic dysfunction in...
Quercetin and omega 3 ameliorate oxidative stress induced by aluminium chloride in the brain
Exposure to high levels of aluminum (Al) leads to neurodegeneration, which may be mediated through over-generation of free radicals.... Both quercetin (QE) and omega 3...

Increased risk of noninfluenza respiratory virus infections associated with receipt of inactivated influenza vaccine
We randomized 115 children to trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) or placebo.... Being protected against influenza, TIV recipients may lack temporary non-specific immunity that protected...
Annual Vaccination against Influenza Virus Hampers Development of Virus-Specific CD8 T Cell Immunity in Children
Infection with seasonal influenza A viruses induces immunity to potentially pandemic influenza A viruses of other subtypes (heterosubtypic immunity).... Our results indicate that annual influenza...
Vaccination against Human Influenza A:H3N2 Virus Prevents the Induction of Heterosubtypic Immunity against Lethal Infection with Avian Influenza A:H5N1 Virus
Annual vaccination against seasonal influenza viruses is recommended for certain individuals that have a high risk for complications resulting from infection with these viruses.... The...
