Iron Overload Generates Reactive Oxygen Species With Fenton Reaction

Iron is an essential metal ion that affects different mechanisms in the intracellular and extracellular systems. The adjective essential is coming from the fact that iron is a cofactor of certain enzymes, which includes ATP production and DNA synthesis1. Concurrently, iron homeostasis must be regulated tightly due to any imbalance might lead to critical consequences.

Brief Introduction of Insulin Resistance and Its Effects

 Insulin is a crucial hormone that affects metabolism at an important level. Inefficiency or lower level of insulin is related to many chronic diseases. That is why understanding the mechanism and secretion of insulin became a priority in most of the research. Insulin is an endocrine peptide hormone that regulates anabolic responses by binding receptors

External Explanation of Cognitive Control in Prefrontal Cortex and Dopamine Relation

Behaviors are occurring with the activity of neurons, the interaction between the brain’s output and impute systems. Some animals have bigger brains, so their behaviors and alternatives are more flexible. Having these kinds of flexibility is not always giving a pure advantage to an organism1. Having a large scale of information gathered from the outside

Reactive Oxygen Species and Lipid Peroxidation

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive compounds, which is making them very dangerous in certain situations. They are mostly formed from O2 molecules in the mitochondrial electron transport chain1. When O2 molecules become reactive species, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or superoxide (O2–), they might be counted as stable compounds. Unfortunately, they might become
