Lactoferrin for neuroprotection in term neonatal HypoxicIichemic Encephalopathy
Brain Development
Sizonenko S., University of Geneva, Switzerland 2020
Neonatalhypoxia-ischemia (HI) is a leading cause of mortality and chronic disability. Lactoferrin (Lf) is the major whey protein in milk presenting iron-binding, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic properties able to reverse HI brain damage.
Therapeutic potential of the nutraceutical nicotinamide mononucleotide to treat early‐life stress‐induced emotional and metabolic alterations
Mother & Child Health & Nutrition
Sandi C., EPFL, Switzerland, 2020
Our overarching hypothesis is that the behavioral reprogramming induced by peripubertal stress is mediated by decreased signaling of the adipokine eNampt and subsequent impairment of the NAD+/SIRT1 pathway in the NAc.
