C60 vs. Sepsis: The Nanomaterial That Shielded Liver, Heart, and Brain

Sepsis is deadly on its own — but in diabetes, the baseline oxidative stress turns it into a full-blown organ-killing fire. In this Deep Dive, Dr. Mike and Don unpack a new study where water-soluble, hydroxylated fullerene C60 acts like a nanoscale “electron sink,” neutralizing free radicals the way depleted antioxidant enzymes can’t. In a diabetic sepsis model (CLP), C60 sharply reduced lipid peroxidation and protected multiple organ systems — liver, heart, and brain — while also boosting native antioxidant capacity (catalase). The big question: is this just an acute rescue tool… or a future…
