Dietary alpha-ketoglutarate inhibits SARS CoV-2 infection and rescues inflamed lungs to restore O2 saturation by inhibiting pAkt

Post Image

Agarwal S, Kaur S et al. suggested a therapeutic approach against COVID-19. They described that an elevated inflammation, thrombosis and apoptotic tissue damage in the lungs causes hypoxemia leading to a decreased oxygen pressure saturation (SpO2) in circulation of SARS CoV-2 infected animals. Alpha-ketoglutarate (αKG) supplementation rescues the inflamed lungs to restore normal SpO2 by […]

The position of the nucleus within a cell is highly dynamic and changes frequently in response to internal and external stimuli. Proper nuclear positioning within a cell determines cell behaviour and fate and is regulated by the cytoskeleton which serves as a track along which this organelle moves. Movement of the plant cell nucleus towards […]
