The brain as a target of inflammation: common pathways link inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases
Natural phytochemicals found in herbs, cereals, seeds, and other plants offer a potential alternative, as they possess bioactive compounds with protective or disease-preventing properties (Kapinova et al., 2018)
[127] [128] Dopaminergic foods, influencing dopamine levels, contribute significantly to this process

Sinensis seed residue (HRSF) attenuated oxidative stress (e.g., by inhibiting ROS and MDA accumulation and enhancing glutathione levels and SOD activity) and enhanced the expression of tight junction proteins (e.g., occludin and zona occludens 1 (ZO-1)) by modulating the Nrf2-mediated pathway, thereby protecting intestinal barrier integrity ( 3.2 Targeting the core inflammatory signaling hub: NF-B and MAPK pathways The initiation and amplification of inflammation are governed by key signaling pathways, such as NF-B and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) ( 3.2.1 Suppression of pro-inflammatory signaling in skin disorders In skin inflammation, the NF-B and MAPK pathways are activated in keratinocytes and immune cells by various triggers, driving pathologies like PSO and AD ( 3.2.2 Inhibition of signaling pathways in mucosal inflammation In mucosal tissues, such as the intestine, these pathways are often triggered by microbial components ( 3.3 Modulating immune cell responses and cytokine networks Following initial signaling, inflammation is characterized by the recruitment and activation of specific immune cells and the release of cytokines ( 3.3.1 Balancing immune responses in cutaneous inflammation Skin inflammation involves dysregulated crosstalk between various immune cells ( 3.3.2 Regulating mucosal immunity and microbiota crosstalk Mucosal immunity is distinguished by its intimate interaction with the microbiota ( Lactobacillus and Roseburia) and reduced pathobionts (e.g., Mucispirillum and Acinetobacter ) ( Shigella )
