Npd1, a molecule synthesized from omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil (http://www.chemdrug.com/article/8/), helps to protect brain cells and retinal cells in patients with moderate wind and other neurodegenerative diseases, according to a recent study released by researchers from the center for excellence in neuroscience, New Orleans School of medicine, Louisiana State University It is understood that npd1 is a cell molecule that can be synthesized by DHA, which can enhance the synthesis and utilization of protein Iduna Iduna is a regulator of cell survival, which can inhibit neuronal apoptosis by repairing DNA and prevent apoptosis caused by stroke and other factors In this study, two different types of rpe-19 and RPE were selected In a series of subsequent tests, it was found that when npd1 was added to the induced cells one hour after presenting stroke symptoms, the production and availability of Iduna protein increased; further interference studies showed that Iduna could inhibit the production of destructive protein PARP as a major inhibitor It was also found that the effect of npd1 on the activity of Iduna reached a peak value after 6 hours of oxidative stress, and the concentration of npd1 at 25 nm could affect the activity of Iduna protein in the above two types of human RPE cells Dr Nicolas Bazan, who led the study, said the study revealed how npd1 was "produced on demand" and showed the important role of protein Iduna in cell survival Previous studies on Iduna protein were few, but it is the key to cell function repair and survival.
