The consumption of red wine induces headaches in some subjects who can drink other alcoholic beverages without suffering. The cause for this effect has been attributed to a number of components, often the high level of phenolics in red wine, but a mechanism has been elusive. Some alcohol consumers exhibit flushing and experience headaches, and… Continue reading Inhibition of ALDH2 by quercetin glucuronide suggests a new hypothesis to explain red #wine #headaches

Polygenic predisposition, #sleep duration, and #depression: evidence from a prospective population-based cohort
Suboptimal sleep durations and depression frequently cooccur. Short-sleep and long-sleep are commonly thought of as symptoms of depression, but a growing literature suggests that they may be prodromal. While each represents a process of mutual influence, the directionality between them remains unclear. Using polygenic scores (PGS), we investigate the prospective direction involved in suboptimal sleep… Continue reading Polygenic predisposition, #sleep duration, and #depression: evidence from a prospective population-based cohort
The endocannabinoid N-arachidonoyl dopamine is critical for #hyperalgesia induced by chronic #sleep disruption
Chronic pain is highly prevalent and is linked to a broad range of comorbidities, including sleep disorders. Epidemiological and clinical evidence suggests that chronic sleep disruption (CSD) leads to heightened pain sensitivity, referred to as CSD-induced hyperalgesia. However, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) has unique integrative functions in sensory processing,… Continue reading The endocannabinoid N-arachidonoyl dopamine is critical for #hyperalgesia induced by chronic #sleep disruption
Association Between #Triglycerides and Risk of #Dementia in Community-Dwelling #Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study
Background and Objectives: It has been suggested that higher triglyceride levels were associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease. This study aimed to examine the association of triglycerides with dementia and cognition change in community-dwelling older adults.Methods: This prospective longitudinal study used data from the ASPREE randomized trial of adults aged ≥65 years without dementia or… Continue reading Association Between #Triglycerides and Risk of #Dementia in Community-Dwelling #Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study
#Proton pump inhibitors and #dementia: A nationwide population-based study
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may increase dementia risk. However, it is currently unknown whether timing of exposure or age at dementia diagnosis influence the risk.METHODSWe assessed associations between cumulative PPI use and dementia at different ages in a nationwide Danish cohort of 1,983,785 individuals aged 60 to 75 years between 2000 and 2018.RESULTSDuring follow-up, there… Continue reading #Proton pump inhibitors and #dementia: A nationwide population-based study
