Abstract: In various embodiments methods for the treatment or prophylaxis of an age-related and/or pathology-associated increase in intestinal barrier permeability are provided. In certain embodiments the methods comprise administering to a mammal in need thereof an effective amount of one or more agent(s) that inhibit superoxide or hydrogen peroxide production from the outer ubiquinone-binding site of complex III of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (site IIIQo).

Abstract: In various embodiments methods and composition are provided for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of cystinuria. In certain embodiments the methods involve administering to a mammal in need thereof (e.g., identified as at risk for, or having cystinuria) an effective amount of lipoic acid and/or one or more lipoic acid derivatives.

Abstract: In various embodiments compositions and methods are provided for ameliorating a pathology characterized by elevated ?-dicarbonyl compounds or prophylactically slowing or stopping the onset of said pathology in a mammal. In certain embodiments the method comprises administering to the mammal an agent that activates TRPA1 in an amount sufficient to activate TRPA1, and/or to ameliorate one or more symptoms of the pathology (e.g., diabetes or a complication thereof), and/or to slow or stop the onset of the pathology, and/or to lower the level of ?-dicarbonyl compounds in the mammal.
