Rationale: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease accompanied by neurotoxicity, excessive inflammation, and cognitive impairment. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) δ is a potential target for AD. However, its regulatory mechanisms and therapeutic potential in AD remain unclear. We aimed to investigate if the activation of PPARδ using a highly selective and potent agonist could provide an effective therapeutic strategy against AD. Methods: We synthesized a novel PPARδ agonist, 5a, containing a selenazole group and determined the X-ray....
Rationale: Stroke induces metabolic changes in the body, and metabolites have become potential biomarkers for stroke. However, the specific metabolites involved in stroke and the mechanisms underlying brain injury during stroke remain unclear. Methods: Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC‒MS) analysis of clinical serum samples from 69 controls and 51 ischemic stroke patients who underwent reperfusion within 24 hours were performed to identify differentially abundant metabolites. Mice were subjected to transient middle cerebral artery occlusion....
