ChemoSen↑, Using pre-clinical studies, improved outcomes were observed when the conventional agents, such as docetaxel, metformin, vinblastine, doxorubicin and HDAC inhibitors were combined with PEITC

2963- PL,    Piperlongumine activates Sirtuin1 and improves cognitive function in a murine model of Alzheimer’s disease
- in-vitro, AD, HEK293
*SIRT1↑, Piperlongumine (PL) activates the deacetylase ability of Sirt1 in vitro.
*cognitive↑, PL improves cognitive deficits in APP/PS1 mice.
*Aβ↓, PL reduces amyloid deposition and neuro-inflammation in the brain of APP/PS1 mice.
*Inflam↓,
*neuroP↑,
memory↑, Sirt1 has been shown to modulate synaptic plasticity and memory formation
Dose↓, PL induced Sirt1 deacetylase activity at a relatively low concentration, i.e. 1.5 uM, compared to the resveratrol treatment.
NAD↑, PL treatment at doses of 0.5 and 4 μM significantly increased the level of NAD + . These results indicate that PL might activate Sirt1, subsequently changing the NAD + /NADH ratio

3056- RES,    Less is more for cancer chemoprevention: evidence of a non-linear dose response for the protective effects of resveratrol in humans and mice
- in-vivo, Nor, NA
*AMPK↑, Efficacy correlated with increased AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation and the senescence marker p21.
*P21↑,
*Dose↓, Our results show that low dietary exposures not only elicit biological changes in mouse and human tissues relevant to colorectal cancer chemoprevention, but they have superior efficacy compared to high doses
*chemoPv↑, Superior cancer chemopreventive efficacy of low dose resveratrol

1695- Se,    Serum Selenium Concentration as a Potential Diagnostic Marker for Early-Stage Colorectal Cancer: A Comparative Study
- Trial, CRC, NA
Risk↓, Selenium deficiency is an established risk factor for colorectal cancer. It is believed that selenium supplementation and eating fish or foods rich in selenium and folic acid are factors modifying the incidence and development of colorectal cancer.
selm↑, Colorectal cancer patients had significantly lower serum selenium concentration than the comparison patients (67.24±15.55 μg/L vs 78.81±12.93 μg/L; P<0.001), and selenium concentration was below the reference range in a high percentage of colorectal
Dose↓, Mean selenium concentration differed significantly between both groups; 67.24±15.55 μg/L in the study group vs 78.81±12.93 μg/L in the comparison group (Figure 1; P<0.001). Selenium concentrations in the CRC patients were seldom within the reference
antiOx↑, Selenium has a strong antioxidant effect, although its excess causes toxic effects.
Dose↑, Therefore, selenium supplementation can be justified in people whose microelement concentration is in the lowest tertile (≤105.2 ng/mL)
Dose↝, arod et al showed that selenium supplementation in the Polish population should be considered in people with serum selenium concentration below 70 μg/L, with the aim of maintaining the concentration in the range of 70–90 μg/L

1690- Se,    Selenium and cancer: a story that should not be forgotten-insights from genomics
- Review, Var, NA
Dose↓, low Se intake is associated with increased risk of various cancers, the results of supplementation trials have been confusing
other↝, Se supply modulates protein synthesis, unfolded protein response, Wnt, Nrf2 and inflammatory pathways

1699- Se,    Vegetarianism and colorectal cancer risk in a low-selenium environment: effect modification by selenium status? A possible factor contributing to the null results in British vegetarians
- Analysis, CRC, NA
Dose↑, a food-based recommendation is desirable and Brazil nuts have been shown to improve Se status
eff↓, undoubtedly Se is a micronutrient of concern in plant-based diets in Se-poor areas
Dose↓, A dramatic decrease in the Se status in the UK had been observed over the 1980s in longitudinal studies on same subjects

4740- SSE,    Optimising Selenium for Modulation of Cancer Treatments
- Review, Var, NA
*selenoP↑, Selenium is an essential trace element involved in many biological processes that are mediated through, at least, 25 selenoproteins expressed in humans.
*Dose↓, 50-200 μg/day have been used mainly for primary prevention (15), and Se supplementation at these doses for Se-deplete individuals has been associated with lower overall mortality and incidence of certain cancer types
Risk↓,
*toxicity↝, Animal laboratory studies have shown that the organic forms of Se are both more effective and safer than the commonly-used inorganic forms such as sodium selenite (SS), which are more genotoxic
Dose↑, All patients given 4,800 μg SLM twice daily achieved plasma Se levels >15 μM, the Se concentration required for reduced chemotherapy-induced toxicity and enhanced antitumor efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs in preclinical animal models
chemoP↑, hence the optimal form and dose of Se to be used with chemotherapy or radiotherapy remains unclear.
radioP↑,

4049- VitB1/Thiamine,    Vitamin B1 (thiamine) and dementia
- Review, AD, NA
*memory↑, reduced thiamine can drive AD-like abnormalities, including memory deficits, plaques, and hyperphosphorylation of tau.
*p‑tau↓, Thiamine deficiency also increase the phosphorylation of tau
*cognitive↑, Thiamine deficiency has been linked to impaired cognition for decades
*Dose↝, For adults, excretion of less than 100 mcg/day thiamine in urine suggests insufficient thiamine intake, and less than 40 mcg/day indicates an extremely low intake.
*Dose↓, thiamine in plasma is reduced by about one-third in AD patients.
*Aβ↓, Thiamine deficiency greatly exacerbates plaque formation in mice genetically engineered to make plaques
*other↝, Furthermore, increasing thiamine with the compound benfotiamine reduces plaques, hyperphosphorylated tau, and memory deficits in a mouse genetically engineered to make plaques.
*eff↑, On the other hand, other compounds, such as solbutaimine, benfotiamine, and fursultiamine, have been designed to increase thiamine 5 to 10 times higher than thiamine and maintain these high levels for hours
*eff↑, benfotiamine was much more effective than fursultiamine in raising blood thiamine

4325- VitB5,    Localized Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) Reductions Present Throughout the Dementia with Lewy Bodies Brain
- Study, AD, NA - Study, Park, NA
*Risk↑, As such, decreased dietary pantothenic acid intake may be associated with both PD incidence and severity.
*Dose↝, Due to the ease of obtaining sufficient amounts of pantothenic acid from food sources (5 mg daily for adults [19]), deficiency is rare, and usually only present in individuals with severe general malnutrition.
*Dose↓, Despite the rarity of pantothenic acid deficiency, significantly lower levels of dietary pantothenic acid intake have been observed in individuals with PD in comparison to healthy individuals
*other↝, despite a lack of outright pantothenic acid deficiency, supplementation may be a potential therapeutic option for the treatment of these neurodegenerative diseases.

4088- VitE,    Vitamin E and Alzheimer’s Disease—Is It Time for Personalized Medicine?
- Review, AD, NA
*antiOx↑, major lipid-soluble antioxidant, which functions to maintain neurological integrity
*neuroP↑,
*Dose↓, Alarmingly, 90% of the population does not consume the RDA of 15 mg/day but average closer to half that value—around 7 mg/day [17]
*cognitive↑, individuals who consumed higher vitamin E-containing foods exhibited reduced cognitive decline per an adaptation of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)
*other↝, benefit of vitamin E is skewed towards a pre-emptive measure to attenuate cognitive decline.
