Hazard and risk associated with the use of radiotherapy play a crucial role in brain injury with interference via the neuroendocrine activity of the cancer survivors, and there is no effective preventive strategy. We conducted this study to assess the effect of citicoline in biosynthesis variants occurring in the cerebral cortex of rats in response to head gamma-irradiation. Bio-analysis includes MDA, 8-OHdG, and NO as oxidation indicators; total antioxidant activity; the inflammatory factors TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, and amyloid-beta 42 levels; the caspase-3 cell death marker; IGF-I; serum hormones including GH, ACTH, FSH, and LH; and the neurotransmitters acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin. We exposed animals to 10 Gy head gamma irradiation followed by citicoline treatment and sustained for 30 days. The animals were sacrificed at the 3rd and 30th day post-irradiation. Citicoline mechanism has been linked to potent radical reduced ability counteracting the oxidative stress-mediated inflammation and apoptosis. Citicoline treatment has normalized the altering recorded in serum hormones associated with a significant modulation in the levels of IGF-1/PI3K/AKT factors. Such improvements have been concomitant with regulated neurotransmitter levels. We could conclude that citicoline may safely be supplemented to avoid both short- and long-term damages to the neuroendocrine disturbances, oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis induced by head irradiation.

Introduction High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is considered a time-efficient strategy to improve metabolic health. We performed a systematic meta-analysis to assess the effects of HIIT on inflammatory markers and adipo-cytokines compared with control conditions (CON) or moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in individuals with metabolic disorders. Methods Up to January 2020, electronic databases were searched for HIIT interventions based on populations with metabolic disorders including diabetes, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or overweight/obesity, with outcome measurements that included IL-6, TNF-alpha, CRP, leptin or adiponectin and training >= 2 weeks. Random-effects models were used to aggregate a mean effect size (ES), 95% confidence intervals (Cis), and potential moderators were explored. Results Twenty-nine studies involving 841 participants were included in the meta-analysis. HIIT improved circulating adiponectin (P = .02), leptin (P = .02), and TNF-alpha (P = .003) when compared to CON. There were no differences between groups in IL-6 and CRP. Intervention duration was a significant moderator for the effect of HIIT on IL-6, and leptin (P < .05). Conclusion High-intensity interval training improves circulating TNF-alpha, leptin and adiponectin, thereby indicating that it may be an effective and time-efficient intervention for controlling low-grade inflammation in individuals with metabolic disorders.
