This study looked at whether anti-inflammatory medication can improve sperm quality in men with infertility caused by inflammation and oxidative stress. About 200 men with signs of inflammation in their semen took either the treatment or a placebo for six months. The goal was to …

This study looked at whether black raspberry lozenges could lower harmful DNA changes in mouth cells caused by smoking. 69 adult smokers took the lozenges for several weeks. The goal was to see if the berries could reduce damage linked to cancer risk. Results may help find a simp…

This study looked at whether taking powdered tart cherries helps trained men and women recover from repeated sprints. Forty healthy, active adults did sprinting exercises and then took either tart cherry powder or a placebo. Researchers measured muscle soreness, strength, and sig…

This study tested whether a daily dietary supplement with natural ingredients could help support skin health and slow ageing. 92 healthy adults aged 29 to 82 took either the supplement or a placebo for six weeks. Researchers measured blood markers for collagen production, oxidati…

This study tested whether using a special laser (Nd:YAG) during root canal treatment could reduce inflammation and stress in infected teeth. Researchers measured certain markers in fluid from the tooth and gums in 58 adults. The results showed that adding the laser did not improv…

This study looked at oxidative stress and antioxidant levels in 17 elite female cross-country skiers compared to 17 sedentary women. Researchers measured key biomarkers in blood samples to see how intense training affects the body's defense system. The goal was to learn more abou…

This study looked at how 12 weeks of CrossFit or resistance training changed markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in 24 untrained adults. Participants did five sessions per week, and blood samples were taken before and after exercise to measure key health indicators. The …

This study looked at how breathing pure oxygen for 30 minutes changes blood flow in the brain and whether vitamin C can influence those changes. Thirteen healthy adults took part in two sessions, receiving either vitamin C or a placebo before breathing oxygen. The goal was to und…

This study looked at nearly 1,000 adults aged 30-60 to see if using a tobacco heating system for at least 2 years leads to lower levels of harmful chemicals, oxidative stress, and inflammation compared to smoking cigarettes. Participants were grouped by their smoking habits and m…

This study looked at blood cells from people with Parkinson's disease, ALS, and healthy volunteers to understand how a drug called deferiprone affects cell stress and energy use. Researchers collected samples from 90 participants and tested the drug in the lab. The goal was to le…

This study looked at whether using a tool called Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) during nose surgery can prevent giving patients too much oxygen, which can cause cell stress. Sixty adults having rhinoplasty were randomly assigned to standard care or ORI-guided oxygen levels. Researche…

This study looked at how giving more or less oxygen during laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery affects stress and inflammation in the body. 76 adults having planned surgery were randomly assigned to receive either normal oxygen or extra oxygen during the procedure. Researchers m…
