What is it about?

Trans-crotonaldehyde (TCA) has recently been found to be a major culprit in major diseases.The major hazard of TCA is the damage to mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no effective measures to eliminate TCA. It is the spectroscopic evidences of TCA trapped and transformed by Resveratrol. The study provides clues and pathways for the elimination of TCA.

Why is it important?

Spectroscopic evidences of TCA trapped and transformed by Resveratrol to prevent the damage of mitochondrial DNA explains the nature of the problem. This is important for the search for ways to eliminate TCA.

Perspectives

The study provides that the elimination of TCA can be achieved by searching for suitable hydroxyl compounds pathways that protect mitochondrial DNA.
