Additional studies of lipid peroxidation in egg yolk, chicken liver, and muscle from mature chickens highlighted that the essential oil of thyme acted as a strong antioxidant in all of these systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tricyclic derivative of lapachol and β-lapachone functions as an activator of the DNA unwinding enzyme, topoisomerase I, which is required for DNA repair. Among the naphthoquinones, β-lapachone was found to be the most effective in fostering the growth of healthy bacteria. β-lapachone also inhibited the expression of iNOS, proinflammatory cytokines, and MMPs (MMP-3, MMP-8, MMP-9) at mRNA and protein levels in LPS-stimulated microglia, which suggests its support of inflammation pathways. The antioxidant effects of β-LAP appear to be related with the increase of HO-1 and NQO1 via the Nrf2\/antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway and\/or the PKA pathway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNOTE: All of the above statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
