| Ferulic acid is an antioxidant found in some skin creams and serums. Foods: popcorn, bamboo, whole-grain rye bread, whole-grain oat flakes, sweet corn (cooked) Ferulic acid (FA) is a hydroxycinnamic acid abundant in plant cell walls (notably cereals/whole grains) with strong antioxidant and cytoprotective activity. Mechanistically, FA is frequently described as inducing Nrf2/HO-1 antioxidant programs and suppressing NF-κB-linked inflammation, with additional model-dependent anticancer effects (cell-cycle arrest, apoptosis, reduced invasion). Oral exposure is variable because FA is rapidly metabolized (often as conjugates) and bioaccessibility depends on the food matrix. -Ferulic acid found in dietary strand fractions, especially its free form, has important functions for protecting the human health. -AChE inhibitor (AD) -Cooking results in an increase in free ferulic acid quantity and in a reduction in bound ferulic acid quantity. Bamboo shoots 243.6 mg/100g Sugar-beet pulp 800 mg/100g Popcorn 313 mg/100g Wheat bran 500–1500mg/100g Whole wheat flour 100–300mg/100g
Pathway / Target Modulation by FA / Direction Aβ aggregation ↓ Inhibits fibril formation and destabilizes existing Aβ fibrils BACE‑1 & APP ↓ Reduces BACE-1 and APP expression; ↑ MMP‑2/‑9 expression promoting Aβ clearance Tau hyperphosphorylation Implicitly ↓ through modulation of Ca²⁺/CDK5/GSK3β pathways Ca²⁺ ↓ FA lowers STEP levels via chelation of Ca²⁺, suppressing PP2B → restores synaptic plasticity (AChE / BChE) ↓ Inhibition of AChE (FA IC₅₀~15 µM, derivatives IC₅₀ down to 0.006 µM); also BChE (MAO‑A/B) ↓ Inhibits MAO‑B (derivatives IC₅₀ ~0.3–0.7 µM), reducing ROS ROS ↓ Scavenges ROS, enhances antioxidant enzymes (e.g., catalase), ↓ MDA (COX‑2, 5‑LOX, NLRP3) ↓ Derivatives inhibit COX‑2/5‑LOX; derivative 13a ↓ NLRP3 inflammasome Iron/Cu²⁺ chelation ↓ Metal-induced Aβ aggregation via chelation by FA and derivatives Autophagy & Aβ clearance ↗ Suggested promotion of autophagy mechanisms targeting Aβ

| LDH is a general term that refers to the enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of lactate and pyruvate. LDH is a tetrameric enzyme, meaning it is composed of four subunits. LDH refers to the enzyme as a whole, while LDHA specifically refers to the M subunit. Elevated LDHA levels are often associated with poor prognosis and aggressive tumor behavior, similar to elevated LDH levels. leakage of LDH is a well-known indicator of cell membrane integrity and cell viability [35]. LDH leakage results from the breakdown of the plasma membrane and alterations in membrane permeability, and is widely used as a cytotoxicity endpoint. However, it's worth noting that some studies have shown that LDHA is a more specific and sensitive biomarker for cancer than total LDH, as it is more closely associated with the Warburg effect and cancer metabolism. Dysregulated LDH activity contributes significantly to cancer development, promoting the Warburg effect (Chen et al., 2007), which involves increased glucose uptake and lactate production, even in the presence of oxygen, to meet the energy demands of rapidly proliferating cancer cells (Warburg and Minami, 1923; Dai et al., 2016b). LDHA overexpression favors pyruvate to lactate conversion, leading to tumor microenvironment acidification and aiding cancer progression and metastasis. Inhibitors: Flavonoids, a group of polyphenols abundant in fruit, vegetables, and medicinal plants, function as LDH inhibitors.
LDH is used as a clinical biomarker for Synthetic liver function, nutrition
