Dietary Interventions and Multiple Sclerosis
Abstract Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, disabling neurologic disease that has its onset in young adulthood. While the knowledge about underlying pathogenesis of MS has improved significantly over the last few decades, the exact cause still eludes us. Despite the availability of several United States Food and Drug Administration-approved disease-modifying therapies (DMT) for MS in the last ...
The mediating role of sleep, physical activity, and diet in the association between shift
work and respiratory infections
Objectives Shift work may be associated with an increased incidence of respiratory infections. However, underlying
mechanisms are unclear. Therefore, our aim was to examine the mediating role of sleep, physical activity, and diet in the association between shift work and respiratory infections.
Methods This prospective ...
Sleep Loss as a Factor to Induce Cellular and Molecular Inflammatory Variations
A reduction in the amount of time spent sleeping occurs chronically in modern society. Clinical and experimental studies in humans and animal models have shown that immune function is impaired when sleep loss is experienced. Sleep loss exerts a strong regulatory influence on peripheral levels of inflammatory mediators of the immune response. An increasing number ...
Rhythms of life: circadian disruption and brain disorders across the lifespan
Abstract
Many processes in the human body — including brain function — are regulated over the 24-hour cycle, and there are strong associations between disrupted circadian rhythms (for example, sleep–wake cycles) and disorders of the CNS. Brain disorders such as autism, depression and Parkinson disease typically develop at certain stages of life, and circadian ...
Melatonin and Its Relation to the Immune System and Inflammation
ABSTRACT:
Melatonin (N -acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) was initially thought to be produced exclusively in the pineal gland. Subsequently its synthesis was demonstrated in other organs, for example, the retinas, and very high concentrations
of melatonin are found at other sites, for example, bone marrow cells and bile. The origin of the high level of melatonin in these locations ...

Magnesium and Osteoporosis: Current State of Knowledge and Future Research Directions
Abstract: A tight control of magnesium homeostasis seems to be crucial for bone health. On the basis of experimental and epidemiological studies, both low and high magnesium have harmful effects on the bones. Magnesium deficiency contributes to osteoporosis directly by acting on crystal formation and on bone cells and indirectly by impacting on the secretion ...
