Abstract
Chronic high-calorie diet (HCD) combined with physical inactivity promotes obesity and insulin resistance (IR). This study aimed to analyse the comparable effect of moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and moderate-intensity interval training (MIIT) on visceral fat weight and IR in subjects exposed to HCD. This randomised post-test research used only a control group design with female rats (Wistar norvegicus), 8 weeks old and 100-200 g of bodyweight. They were randomly divided into four groups: standard diet group (C), HCD group (C1), HCD combined with MICT group (C2) and HCD combined with MIIT group (C3). Each group consisted of six rats. HCD consisted of ad libitum standard diet plus dextrose solution by oral gavage for 4 weeks. The MICT was conducted by swimming plus 6% load of body weight for 10 min in the first week, for 20 min in the second week and 30 min in the third and fourth week. The MIIT was conducted by swimming in a ratio between swimming and rest time at 2:1 plus 6% load of BW, performed 5×/week for 4 weeks, and increased progressively. The mean body weight pre-intervention was 152.79±13.280 g and 150.12±9.195 g post-intervention (P=0.115). The mean fasting blood glucose pre-intervention was 79±8.668 mg/dl, and post-intervention 86.29±12.142 mg/dl (P=0.142). The mean visceral fat weight between C (1.94±0.66 g), C1 (1.45±0.47 g), C2 (1.41±0.44 g), and C3 (1.22±0.59 g) was not significant (P=0.179). The mean triglyceride level for C (173.33±30.30 mg/dl), C1 (157.16±47.32 mg/dl), C2 (112.83±25.49 mg/dl), and C3 (80.33±23.47 mg/dl) was significant (P=0.000). The mean IR model for C (4.796±0.070), C1 (4.728±0.125), C2 (4.620±0.123), C3 (4.360±0.143) was significant (P=0.000). In conclusion, both MICT and MIIT have an effect to improve IR and TG. The MIIT was more effective to improve IR compared to MICT in the female rats exposed to an HCD.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the therapeutic effects of methylprednisolone, the CoenzymeQ10 (CoQ10) structural analogue idebenone, and both together on the optic nerve (ON) and retinal layers following methanol intoxication in rats with histopathological and biochemical methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS This experimental study was conducted with 30 male Wistar rats. The rats were divided into five equal groups depending on the treatment protocol:healthy controls (HC), methanol (M), methanol + methylprednisolone (MM), methanol + idebenone (MI), and methanol + methylprednisolone + idebenone (MMI).Distilled water was provided orally to the HC group, while 20% methanol was administered orally at a dose of 3 g/kg with a nasogastric tube to all rats in groups except the HC group. Four hours later, group MM received 1 mg/kg of intraperitoneal methylprednisolone for 10 days using an insulin syringe, and group MI received 20 mg/kg idebenone by nasogastric catheter for 28 days. MMI group was administered oral idebenone and intraperitoneal methylprednisolone at the same dose. Serum samples were obtained on the 28th day for biochemical analysis and afterwards the rats were euthanized for histopathological examination and eyes were enucleated. ON was evaluated for circumference thickness, vascularization and number of astrocytes, also retinal layers were examined for structural changes by histopathological examination. RESULTS Comparison of the antioxidant and oxidative stress biomarkers between the groups revealed no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). By histopathological evaluation the most marked results were obtained by MMI group with an improvement of all parameters mentioned. There was no statistically significant difference between MM group and M group for RD score (p = 0.123). In addition, ON vacuolization in MI group (p < 0.001) and ON astrocyte increase in both MI and MMI groups were statistically significantly lower than in M group (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The early use (within hours) of idebenone and short-term methylprednisolone treatment together may protect against the retinal and ON damage developing after methanol ingestion in rats as guided by the histopathological data.

Abstract
Methanol-induced optic neuropathy (Me-ION) is a serious condition that may result in long-term or irreversible visual impairment or even blindness secondary to damage and loss of function of the optic nerve and retina. Me-ION shows a tendency to occur as mass poisonings around the world with a clear predilection for poor societies in developing countries. The main mechanism underlying the molecular basis of Me-ION is the inhibition of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation process through the binding of the toxic metabolite of methanol—formic acid—with the key enzyme of this process—cytochrome c oxidase. However, other mechanisms, including damage to the eye tissues by oxidative stress causing the intensification of the oxidative peroxidation process with the formation of cytotoxic compounds, as well as an increase in the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines and influence on the expression of key proteins responsible for maintaining cell homeostasis, also play an important role in the pathogenesis of Me-ION. Histopathological changes in the eye tissues are mainly manifested as the degeneration of axons and glial cells of the optic nerve, often with accompanying damage of the retina that may involve all its layers. Despite the development of therapeutic approaches, persistent visual sequelae are seen in 30–40% of survivors. Thus, Me-ION continues to be an important problem for healthcare systems worldwide.

Abstract
Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are metalloenzymes that play a major role in antioxidant defense against oxidative stress in the body. SOD supplementation may therefore trigger the endogenous antioxidant machinery for the neutralization of free-radical excess and be used in a variety of pathological settings. This paper aimed to provide an extensive review of the possible uses of SODs in a range of pathological settings, as well as describe the current pitfalls and the delivery strategies that are in development to solve bioavailability issues. We carried out a PubMed query, using the keywords "SOD", "SOD mimetics", "SOD supplementation", which included papers published in the English language, between 2012 and 2020, on the potential therapeutic applications of SODs, including detoxification strategies. As highlighted in this paper, it can be argued that the generic antioxidant effects of SODs are beneficial under all tested conditions, from ocular and cardiovascular diseases to neurodegenerative disorders and metabolic diseases, including diabetes and its complications and obesity. However, it must be underlined that clinical evidence for its efficacy is limited and consequently, this efficacy is currently far from being demonstrated.

Abstract
Purpose: Inflammatory corneal diseases such as bacterial keratitis provoke severe injury to the visual functions and physical structure, leading to opaqueness, wounding, damage to the cornea, and even long-lasting vision loss. Usually antioxidant substances have been of great attention as candidate therapies in the management of keratitis in both humans and animals. Based on the findings, the aim of our research was to examine the effects of Tempol (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl), a membrane-permeable free radical scavenger with exclusive antioxidant properties, on in vitro model of eye inflammation of rabbit corneal cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Seruminstitute Rabbit Cornea). Methods: The cells were pretreated with Tempol and incubated with LPS for 24 h. LPS stimulation triggered increased cellular mortality, oxidative stress, cytokine levels expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6, and also enhanced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression. Results: Pretreatment with Tempol (3 mM) significantly increased cell viability and antioxidant activity as well as decreased reactive oxygen species production, cytokines, PGE2 levels, and COX-2 expression. Conclusions: Taken together, Tempol could be a new therapeutic strategy for management of ocular inflammatory disorders for clinical and veterinary use.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify the specifics of structural and functional changes in patients with toxic optical neuropathy caused by acute methanol poisoning. MATERIAL AND METHODS One female patient with toxic optic neuropathy (TON), 2 male patients with partial optic atrophy caused by methanol poisoning, and 1 male patient with methanol intoxication after ethanol containing alcohol use were examined with kinetic perimetry and optical coherence tomography. RESULTS Patients with TON caused by acute methanol poisoning were observed to have decreasing visual acuity to the extent of complete blindness. OCT follow-up studies revealed thinning of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) as well as formation of microcysts in the inner retinal layers, destruction of ellipsoid zone and outer segments of photoreceptors. The patient with methanol intoxication after use of ethanol containing alcohol had retained his visual functions; he was found to have microcysts and RNFL thinning during the first few months after the intoxication, but they were within normal range of OCT parameters. CONCLUSION Patients with TON caused by acute methanol poisoning are common to have optic atrophy with either residual visual functions or complete blindness as well as microcysts formation, structural changes and destruction of the ellipsoid zone and outer segments of photoreceptors. In patient with methanol intoxication after use of ethanol, which is known to be an antidote, complete visual recovery was observed, although some microcystic changes and ganglion cells layer thinning were noted.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acute methanol exposure leads to systemic intoxication and toxic optic neuropathy. In this experimental study, we aimed to determine the protective effects of intravenous administration of ATP in methanol-induced optic neuropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 18 male albino Wistar rats weighing between 267 and 282 g were used for the experiment. The animals were divided into three groups as healthy control (HC), methanol (M), and methanol + ATP (M-ATP) groups. Distilled water was given to the healthy control group (n = 6) as the solvent, while 20% methanol was administered orally to the rats in M (n = 6) and M-ATP (n = 6) groups at a dose of 3 g/kg. Four hours after the administration of 20% methanol orally to the M-ATP group, ATP was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 4 mg/kg. Eight hours after ATP injection, the animals were sacrificed by high-dose (50 mg/kg) thiopental anaesthesia and biochemical and histopathological examinations were performed on the removed optic nerve tissues. Malondialdehyde (MDA), total glutathione (tGSH), total oxidant status (TOS) and total anti-oxidant status (TAS) were analysed with biochemical tests. RESULTS MDA, TOS and OSI were significantly higher and tGSH and TAS levels were significantly lower in methanol administered group compared with the healthy controls or M-ATP group (p: 0.001). There was not any significant difference between healthy controls and M-ATP group regarding the oxidative stress parameters. There was a significant destruction and increase in thickness and astrocyte numbers and edema-vacuolization in methanol administered group compared with the healthy controls or M-ATP group (p: 0.001). CONCLUSION Intravenous ATP administration had a significant positive effect on the oxidative stress parameters and optic nerve structure in methanol-intoxicated rats. Antioxidant therapies should be considered in future studies as a possible therapy for methanol-induced toxic optic neuropathy.

Abstract
CAPN5 Neovascular Inflammatory Vitreoretinopathy (CAPN5-NIV; OMIM 193235) is a poorly-understood rare, progressive inflammatory intraocular disease with limited therapeutic options. To profile disease effector proteins in CAPN5-NIV patient vitreous, liquid vitreous biopsies were collected from two groups: eyes from control subjects (n = 4) with idiopathic macular holes (IMH) and eyes from test subjects (n = 12) with different stages of CAPN5-NIV. Samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Protein expression changes were evaluated by principal component analysis, 1-way ANOVA (significant p-value < 0.05), hierarchical clustering, gene ontology, and pathway representation. There were 216 differentially-expressed proteins (between CAPN5-NIV and control vitreous), including those unique to and abundant in each clinical stage. Gene ontology analysis revealed decreased synaptic signaling proteins in CAPN5-NIV vitreous compared to controls. Pathway analysis revealed that inflammatory mediators of the acute phase response and the complement cascade were highly-represented. The CAPN5-NIV vitreous proteome displayed characteristic enrichment of proteins and pathways previously-associated with non-infectious posterior uveitis, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). This study expands our knowledge of affected molecular pathways in CAPN5-NIV using unbiased, shotgun proteomic analysis rather than targeted detection platforms. The high-levels and representation of acute phase response proteins suggests a functional role for the innate immune system in CAPN5-NIV pathogenesis.
