Here, we simulated BA-based oral infection among young (20-week-old) rats and isolated blood cytosol to determine BA effects on stress network-related signals [total heme, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), free fatty acid (FFA), NADP/NADPH], inflammation-associated signals [caspases (CASP12 and CASP1), IL-1β, TNF-α, metallomatrix proteinase-9 (MMP-9), and toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2)], and neurological blood biomarkers [presenilin (PS1 and PS2) and amyloid precursor protein (APP)]. The gene discussed is CASP12; the disease is infection.
