Abstract
This study aimed to develop a multifunctional active composite film to extend the shelf life of minced pork. The composite film was prepared by incorporating zinc-doped grapefruit peel-derived carbon quantum dots (Zn-GFP-CD) into a cellulose nanofiber (CNF) matrix. The resulting film significantly improved UV-blocking properties from 39.0 % to 85.7 % while maintaining the film transparency. Additionally, the CNF/Zn-GFP-CD5% composite film exhibits strong antioxidant activity with ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activities of 99.8 % and 77.4 %, respectively. The composite film also showed excellent antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. When used in minced pork packaging, the composite films effectively inhibit bacterial growth, maintaining bacterial levels below 7 Log CFU/g after 15 days and sustaining a red color over a 21-day storage period. Additionally, a significant reduction in the lipid oxidation of the minced pork was observed. These CNF/Zn-GFP-CD composite films have a great potential for active food packaging applications to extend shelf life and maintain the visual quality of packaged meat.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:266. [PMID: 38498184 PMCID: PMC10948578 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-024-13095-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) catalyze dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) into fatty acid hydroperoxides (FAHPs), which can be further transformed into a number of value-added compounds. LOXs have garnered interest as biocatalysts for various industrial applications. Therefore, a high-throughput LOX activity assay is essential to evaluate their performance under different conditions. This study aimed to enhance the suitability of the ferrous-oxidized xylenol orange (FOX) assay for screening LOX activity across a wide pH range with different PUFAs. The narrow linear detection range of the standard FOX assay restricts its utility in screening LOX activity. To address this, the concentration of perchloric acid in the xylenol orange reagent was adjusted. The modified assay exhibited a fivefold expansion in the linear detection range for hydroperoxides and accommodated samples with pH values ranging from 3 to 10. The assay could quantify various hydroperoxide species, indicating its applicability in assessing LOX substrate preferences. Due to sensitivity to pH, buffer types, and hydroperoxide species, the assay required calibration using the respective standard compound diluted in the same buffer as the measured sample. The use of correction factors is suggested when financial constraints limit the use of FAHP standard compounds in routine LOX substrate preference analysis. FAHP quantification by the modified FOX assay aligned well with results obtained using the commonly used conjugated diene method, while offering a quicker and broader sample pH range assessment. Thus, the modified FOX assay can be used as a reliable high-throughput screening method for determining LOX activity. KEY POINTS: • Modifying perchloric acid level in FOX reagent expands its linear detection range • The modified FOX assay is applicable for screening LOX activity in a wide pH range • The modified FOX assay effectively assesses substrate specificity of LOX.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human Milk (HM) is a dynamic nourishment; its composition is influenced by several conditions such as gestational age, maternal diet and ethnicity. It appears important to evaluate the impact that gestational pathologies have on HM components and if their presence, as a source of oxidative stress in the mother, influence milk's redox homeostasis. To assess the effect of Preeclampsia (PE) and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) on some aspects of human milk redox homeostasis, we chose to investigate both oxidative and antioxidant aspects, with, respectively, Lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) and Glutathione (GSH). METHODS Women with PE, GDM and who were healthy were recruited for this study. Colostrum, transitional and mature milk samples were collected. GSH and LOOHs levels were measured using a spectrophotometric test. To investigate the effect of pathology on redox homeostasis, a mixed linear model with unistructural covariance structure was performed. RESULTS A total of 120 mothers were recruited. The GSH concentration results were significantly lower in GDM women than in healthy women only in colostrum (p < 0.01). No other differences emerged. LOOHs was not detectable in almost all the samples. DISCUSSION Our study is the first to extensively evaluate these components in the HM of women with these gestational pathologies. The main observation is that GDM can alter the GSH level of HM, mainly in colostrum.

Abstract
Water shortage for crop irrigation is reducing agricultural production worldwide and the use of sewage treatment plant (STP) water to irrigate horticultural fields is a solution to avoid the use of drinkable water in agriculture. In this study, two different genotypes of pepper (Red Cherry Small and Italian green) were irrigated with STP water, as an alternative to potable water. Moreover, the foliar application of a molecule with biostimulant properties (24-epibrassinolide; EBR) was tested as a strategy to ameliorate the production and quality of fruits. Both genotypes differed on their tolerance to the suffered oxidative stress due to their different salinity tolerance, but fruit commercial weight was reduced by 49% on the salt sensitive and by 37% on the salt tolerant. Moreover, ascorbic acid was also decreased by 37% after STP water irrigation in the Red Cherry Small peppers. However, EBR applications alleviated STP watering stress effects improving pepper plants fruit production and quality parameters, such as ascorbic acid and capsaicinoids. These results have important economic and environmental relevance to overcome present and future water deficiencies in the agricultural sector derived from climate change, guaranteeing the maintenance of production in peppers irrigated with STP water for a more sustainable agriculture following relevant circular economy actions.

Abstract
This protocol describes a detailed fluorometric method for measuring peroxiredoxin (Prx) enzyme activity in vitro. Peroxide dissociation is the rate-limiting step in the Prx-controlled enzymatic reaction. To prevent interference by the catalase enzyme, we developed a peroxiredoxin assay that measures Prx activity using the substrate tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (t-BOOH). Prx enzyme activity is measured by incubating the enzymatic substrates 1,4-dithio-DL-threitol (DTT) and t-BOOH in a suitable buffer at 37 °C for 10 min in the presence of the desired volume of Prx enzyme. Next, the reagent N-(9-Acridinyl)maleimide (NAM) is used to stop the enzymatic reaction and form a fluorescent end product. Finally, Prx activity is measured by thiol fluorometry using a Box-Behnken design to optimize reaction conditions. This novel protocol was validated by evaluating Prx activity in matched samples against a reference assay. The correlation coefficient between our protocol and the reference assay was 0.9933, demonstrating its precision compared with existing methods. The NAM-Prx protocol instead uses t-BOOH as a substrate to measure Prx activity. Because catalase does not participate in the dissociation of t-BOOH, this approach does not require sodium azide. Furthermore, the method eliminates the need for concentrated acids to terminate the Prx enzymatic reaction since the NAM reagent can inhibit the enzymatic reaction regulated by the Prx enzyme.

Abstract
Nanoplastics (NPs) are an emerging threat to higher plants in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the molecular of NP-related phytotoxicity remains unclear. In the present study, rice seedlings were exposed to polystyrene (PS, 50 nm) NPs at 0, 50, 100, and 200 mg/L under hydroponic conditions to investigate the induced physiological indices and transcriptional mechanisms. We found that 50, 100, and 200 mg/L PS significantly reduced root (53.05%, 49.61%, and 57.58%, respectively) and shoot (54.63%, 61.56%, and 62.64%, respectively) biomass as compared with the control seedlings. The activities of antioxidant enzymes, including catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), were significantly activated in all PS treatment groups, indicating that PS inhibited plant growth and induced oxidative stress. Transcriptome analyses showed that PS modulated the expression of the genes involved in cell detoxification, active oxygen metabolism, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and plant hormone transduction pathways. Our study provides new insights into phytotoxicity by demonstrating the potential underlying toxicity of PS NPs in higher plants.

Abstract
Ancient trees are life history longevity winners that mostly persist in remote and environmentally harsh mountainous areas. Here, we performed a multifeature analysis in a protected mature mountain pine (Pinus uncinata) forest to identify the morphological and physiological traits that make these trees unique. We compared the physiology of meristematic and somatic tissues (apical buds and needles, respectively) from juvenile, mature young, mature old, and mature ancient trees under cold stress and nonstress conditions. We successfully identified key morphological features of extreme longevity at the organism level, as well as various growth, vigor, stress, and dormancy markers underlying extreme longevity in old and ancient trees. Results indicated that evolution has exerted selective pressure on specific physiological traits that make trees become longevity winners (<0.1% of the tree population were ancient trees, with an average trunk diameter >100 cm and an estimated age of 700 years). Traits entailing longevity not only included apical dominance loss, epicormic growth, and modular senescence, but also an extreme plasticity in both meristematic and somatic tissues (buds and needles, respectively), as shown by various physiological markers. In conclusion, ancient trees are oddities that not only possess a unique ecological value but also show divergent physiological behaviors selected during their evolution to allow them to cope with adversities and attain long life.

Abstract
In the current study, the synthesis of tetra-4-(2-methoxyphenoxy) carboxamide cobalt(II) amide-bridged phthalocyanine (CoTMePhCAPc) is described, as well as its characterization by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-visible, and mass spectroscopy; powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD); thermogravimetric analysis (TGA); scanning electron microscopy (SEM); and electrochemistry. Sensing of nitrite (NO2-) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) simultaneously was done on CoTMePhCAPc with the composite multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-modified glassy carbon electrode (CoTMePhCAPc/MWCNT/GCE) in the range of linear absorption (NO2- and H2O2: CV 50-750, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) 50-750, CA 50-500 nmol L-1), lower detection limit (NO2- and H2O2: CV 10.5 and 12.5, DPV 10.5 and 11.2, CA 6.0 and 5.5 nmol L-1), and sensitivity (NO2- and H2O2: CV 0.379 and 0.529, DPV 0.043 and 0.049, CA 0.033 and 0.040 μA nM-1 cm-2). The composite electrode exhibits improved electrocatalytic behavior compared to modified electrodes for nitrite and H2O2. The CoTMePhCAPc/MWCNT/GCE sensor displays good selectivity even in the presence of an excess of interfering metal ions and biomolecules at the applied potentials of +400 mV (nitrite) and -400 mV (H2O2). Moreover, the fabricated sensor was studied with various phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 5-9) electrolyte solutions. The unknown H2O2 concentration in blood samples and apple juice and nitrite concentration in drinking water and butter leaf lettuce were all measured using the usual addition method. Docking analysis clearly indicates that the ligand shows excellent inhibition activity toward the three subjected protein molecules.

Abstract
Global climate change will impact crops and grasslands, affecting growth and yield. However, is not clear how the combination of warming and increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations ([CO2]) will affect the photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry and the photosynthetic tissue photoinhibition and photoprotection on tropical forages. Here, we evaluated the effects of elevated [CO2] (∼600 μmol mol-1) and warming (+2 °C increase temperature) on the photochemistry of photosystem II and the photoprotection strategies of a tropical C4 forage Panicum maximum Jacq. grown in a Trop-T-FACE facility under well-watered conditions without nutrient limitation. Analysis of the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm), the effective PSII quantum yield Y(II), the quantum yield of regulated energy dissipation Y(NPQ), the quantum yield of non-regulated energy dissipation Y(NO), and the malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in leaves revealed that the photosynthetic apparatus of plants did not suffer photoinhibitory damage, and plants did not increase lipid peroxidation in response to warming and [CO2] enrichment. Plants under warming treatment showed a 12% higher chlorophyll contents and a 58% decrease in α-tocopherol contents. In contrast, carotenoid composition (zeaxanthin and β-carotene) and ascorbate levels were not altered by elevated [CO2] and warming. The elevated temperature increased both net photosynthesis rate and aboveground biomass but elevated [CO2] increased only net photosynthesis. Adjustments in chlorophyll, de-epoxidation state of the xanthophylls cycle, and tocopherol contents suggest leaves of P. maximum can acclimate to 2 °C warmer temperature and elevated [CO2] when plants are grown with enough water and nutrients during tropical autumn-winter season.

Abstract
The generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) using photodynamic therapy (PDT) is limited by the hypoxia of the tumor microenvironment and the depth of external light penetration because it depends on the precise cooperation between the photosensitizers, oxygen, and light. Herein, we report a self-sufficient 1O2 nanoreactor with enhanced penetration into deep tumors for cancer therapy. Linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LAHP) is coordinated with transition metal ions (Cu2+/Fe3+) to prepare linoleic acid hydroperoxide metal complex nanoparticles (LAHP-M NPs). iRGD combined with R7 decoration endows the nanoparticles with tumor targeting and penetration ability. We show that the polypeptide carries the nanoparticles into deep tumors, and thereafter the nanoparticles are disassembled into LAHP and catalytical metal ions to produce 1O2 based on the Russell mechanism under the stimulation of acidic pH. The elevated ROS induces necrotic cell death in vitro and in vivo, and further causes immunogenic cell death (ICD). This study demonstrates the effectiveness of exploiting biochemical reactions as a spatial-temporal strategy to overcome the current limitations of photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Airway inflammation in asthma is related to increased reactive oxygen species generation, potentially leading to tissue injury and subsequent airway remodeling. We evaluated oxidative stress in peripheral blood from asthmatic subjects (n = 74) and matched controls (n = 65), using recently developed real-time monitoring of the protein hydroperoxide (HP) formation by the coumarin boronic acid (CBA) assay. We also investigated the relation of the systemic oxidative stress response in asthma to disease severity, lung function, airway remodeling indices (lung computed tomography and histology), and blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) inflammatory biomarkers. We documented enhanced systemic oxidative stress in asthma, reflected by 35% faster and 58% higher cumulative fluorescent product generation in the CBA assay (p < 0.001 for both). The dynamics of HP generation correlated inversely with lung function but not with asthma severity or histological measures of airway remodeling. HP generation was associated positively with inflammatory indices in the blood (e.g., C-reactive protein) and BAL (e.g., interleukin [IL]-6, IL-12p70, and neutrophil count). Bronchial obstruction, thicker airway walls, increased BAL IL-6, and citrullinated histone 3 in systemic circulation independently determined increased HP formation. In conclusion, a real-time CBA assay showed increased systemic HP generation in asthma. In addition, it was associated with inflammatory biomarkers, suggesting that proper disease control can also lead to a decrease in oxidative stress.

Abstract
Mono- and polyunsaturated lipids are particularly susceptible to peroxidation, which results in the formation of lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs) as primary nonradical-reaction products. LOOHs may undergo degradation to various products that have been implicated in vital biological reactions, and thus in the pathogenesis of various diseases. The structure elucidation and qualitative and quantitative analysis of lipid hydroperoxides are therefore of great importance. The objectives of the present review are to provide a critical analysis of various methods that have been widely applied, and more specifically on volumetric methods, applications of UV-visible, infrared, Raman/surface-enhanced Raman, fluorescence and chemiluminescence spectroscopies, chromatographic methods, hyphenated MS techniques, NMR and chromatographic methods, NMR spectroscopy in mixture analysis, structural investigations based on quantum chemical calculations of NMR parameters, applications in living cells, and metabolomics. Emphasis will be given to analytical and structural methods that can contribute significantly to the molecular basis of the chemical process involved in the formation of lipid hydroperoxides without the need for the isolation of the individual components. Furthermore, future developments in the field will be discussed.

Abstract
Adjustments in the antenna size and α-tocopherol contents provide protection from sustained damage in leaves of a seagrass, while low vitamin E contents appear to be enough to protect rhizomes (which appear to be more cold tolerant than leaves). Despite low temperatures can adversely affect the proper growth and development of marine angiosperms, by, among other processes, increasing reactive oxygen species production and causing oxidative damage to lipid membranes, the role of vitamin E in seagrasses, such as Cymodocea nodosa has not been explored thus far. Here, we aimed to better understand the possible role of this chain-breaking (peroxyl radical-trapping) antioxidant in response to low temperatures, and most particularly in relation to the occurrence of photo-inhibition and lipid peroxidation. Low temperatures caused an important desiccation of leaves, but not of rhizomes, which were much more tolerant to cold stress than leaves. Cold stress during winter was associated with chlorophyll loss and transient photo-inhibition, as indicated by reversible reductions in the Fv/Fm ratio. Adjustments in pigment antenna size and vitamin E contents per unit of chlorophyll during winter may help protect the photosynthetic apparatus from sustained photo-inhibitory damage and lipid peroxidation events in leaves. Rhizomes also accumulated significant amounts of vitamin E, although to a much lesser extent than leaves, and kept protected from lipid peroxidation during winter, as indicated by malondialdehyde contents, a product from secondary lipid peroxidation. It is concluded that vitamin E can help protect both leaves and rhizomes from lipid peroxidation, although cold stress during winter can cause transient photo-inhibition of the photosynthetic apparatus, in C. nodosa.

Abstract
Protein is a major nutrient present in foods along with carbohydrates and lipids. Food proteins undergo a wide range of modifications during food production, processing, and storage. In this review, we discuss two major reactions, oxidation and the Maillard reaction, involved in chemical modifications of food proteins. Protein oxidation in foods is initiated by metal-, enzyme-, or light-induced processes. Food protein oxidation results in the loss of thiol groups and the formation of protein carbonyls and specific oxidation products of cysteine, tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, and methionine residues, such as disulfides, dityrosine, kynurenine, m-tyrosine, and methionine sulfoxide. The Maillard reaction involves the reaction of nucleophilic amino acid residues with reducing sugars, which yields numerous heterogeneous compounds such as α-dicarbonyls, furans, Strecker aldehydes, advanced glycation end-products, and melanoidins. Both protein oxidation and the Maillard reaction result in the loss of essential amino acids but may positively or negatively impact food structure and flavor. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Food Science and Technology, Volume 13 is March 2022.

Abstract
Lipids are important targets of the photosensitized oxidation reactions, forming important signaling molecules, disorganizing and permeabilizing membranes, and consequently inducing a variety of biological responses. Although the initial steps of the photosensitized oxidative damage in lipids are known to occur by both Type I and Type II mechanisms, the progression of the peroxidation reaction, which leads to important end-point biological responses, is poorly known. There are many experimental tools used to study the products of lipid oxidation, but neither the methods nor their resulting observations were critically compared. In this article, we will review the tools most frequently used and the key concepts raised by them in order to rationalize a comprehensive model for the initiation and the progression steps of the photoinduced lipid oxidation.

Abstract
High-mountain plants must withstand high solar irradiation and low temperatures during winter. Furthermore, climate change is increasing drought events, which pose an additional threat to plants. Here, we studied the stress tolerance mechanisms at various levels of biological organization in English plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.), focusing on photoprotective and antioxidant responses. The response of populations from three different altitudes in the Eastern Pyrenees (1030, 1380, and 1660 m. a.s.l.) was compared during both autumn and winter. Results showed that plants not only suffered from photoinhibition due to very low temperatures at the highest elevation during winter, but also from mild drought stress at the lowest altitude during autumn. Individuals growing at the highest elevation showed reductions in the maximum photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv /Fm ratio), which might be caused by the lack of an increased induction of tolerance mechanisms at the highest elevation compared to the intermediate one. Although most leaves died at the highest elevation, plants could withstand stress at the organism level by generating new leaves once the stress ceased. Drought at the lowest elevation during autumn caused mild stress with small decreases in the Fv /Fm ratio, along with an increase in abscisic acid and jasmonic acid content. This study underlines the great capacity of English plantain to adapt to high elevation by activating not only photo- and antioxidant protection mechanisms and adjustments in stress-related phytohormones, but also by fully regenerating its aboveground biomass through renewed growth once the stress has ceased.

Abstract
Historically, identifying carcinogens has relied primarily on tumor studies in rodents, which require enormous resources in both money and time. In silico models have been developed for predicting rodent carcinogens but have not yet found general regulatory acceptance, in part due to the lack of a generally accepted protocol for performing such an assessment as well as limitations in predictive performance and scope. There remains a need for additional, improved in silico carcinogenicity models, especially ones that are more human-relevant, for use in research and regulatory decision-making. As part of an international effort to develop in silico toxicological protocols, a consortium of toxicologists, computational scientists, and regulatory scientists across several industries and governmental agencies evaluated the extent to which in silico models exist for each of the recently defined 10 key characteristics (KCs) of carcinogens. This position paper summarizes the current status of in silico tools for the assessment of each KC and identifies the data gaps that need to be addressed before a comprehensive in silico carcinogenicity protocol can be developed for regulatory use.

Abstract
The early signs of vibration effects on the human body are microcirculation and transcapillary metabolism disorders, accompanied by disruption of the supply to and utilization of oxygen in the tissues and organs. However, there are few experimental studies aimed at finding targets of vibration in cells and determining the action mechanism of vibration. In in vitro experiments, human erythrocytes in buffer solution were exposed to low-frequency vibration (frequency range 8–32 Hz, amplitudes 0.5–0.9 mm) for 3 hours. The dynamics of the accumulation of membrane-bound catalase and hemoglobin and the distribution of ligand hemoglobin in the membrane-bound fraction were studied as the indicators of functional activity of cells. The choice of these indicators is justified by the participation of catalase and hemoglobin in O2-dependent cellular reactions as a part of protein complexes. Since pО2 is a trigger of conformational transitions in the hemoglobin molecule, simultaneously with oxygen transport, hemoglobin signals to different metabolic systems about oxygen conditions in the environment. The studies revealed that in the conditions of vibration, the activity of membrane-associated catalase increased by 40–50% in the frequency range of 12–24 Hz (amplitude 0.5 ± 0.04 mm), by 20–30% in the amplitude of 0.9 mm, but after about 100–120 min exposure the enzyme activity decreased even below the control level. There was a dose-dependent accumulation of membrane-bound hemoglobin during exposure to vibration. In the membrane-bound fraction of hemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin had the highest content (60–80%), while the content of methemoglobin varied 5–20%. During vibrations in the frequency range 12–28 Hz, 0.5 mm, we recorded 10–30% increase in oxyhemoglobin. With increase in the vibration amplitude (0.9 mm) in the frequency range of 16–32 Hz, constant content of oxyhemoglobin was noted at the beginning of the experiment, which tended to decrease during the last exposure time. Frequency of 32 Hz caused increase in the deoxyhemoglobin content in the membrane-bound fraction. The content of methemoglobin (metHb) in erythrocytes significantly increased during exposure to the frequency range of 12–24 Hz, with the amplitude of 0.5 mm (1.3–2.4 times). During the exposure to frequencies of 28 and 32 Hz, we observed the transition of methemoglobin to hemichrome. The content of methemoglobin in the cells was lower and decreased at the end of the experiment when the vibration amplitude was 0.9 mm. In these experimental conditions, no increase in hemichrome content in the membrane-bound fraction was recorded. Therefore, the degree of binding of catalase and hemoglobin with the membrane of erythrocytes that were exposed to vibration and the changes in the content of ligand forms in the composition of membrane-bound hemoglobin are dose-dependent. Low-frequency vibration initiates O2-dependent processes in erythrocytes. Targets of such an influence are nanobubbles of dissolved air (babstons), retained on the surface of erythrocytes due to Coulomb interactions, capable of coagulation and increase in size under the action of vibration. At first, the consequences of these processes are increase in oxygen content in the surface of erythrocytes, and then decrease as a result of degassing. Thus, increase in oxygen content on the surface initiates redox reactions, whereas decrease in oxygen content leads to reconstruction of metabolic processes oriented at overcoming hypoxia.

Transient photoinhibition and photo-oxidative stress as an integral part of stress acclimation and plant development in a dioecious tree adapted to Mediterranean ecosystems.

Abstract
Mastic trees (Pistacia lentiscus L.) are dioecious perennial plants that are highly adapted to Mediterranean climates but display a high sensitivity to winter periods. In order to understand how sex, leaf phenology and ecological context could condition sensitivity to winter and associated mechanisms to acclimate to these conditions, photoinhibition and photo-oxidative stress markers were examined in mastic trees (P. lentiscus) from a natural population growing in the Garraf Natural Park for a consecutive 12-month period (seasonal study), as well as in three populations naturally growing in the Montseny Natural Park, including the highest altitudes described for this species, during winter (altitudinal study). Results from these studies indicate that both the winter period and higher elevation influenced the degree of photoinhibition, but this was not conditioned by sex. In fact, winter photoinhibition occurred transiently even though it was accompanied by chlorophyll loss and malondialdehyde contents. Stress acclimation was achieved through biochemical adjustments in chloroplasts, characterized by anthocyanin shielding, increased de-epoxidation state of the xanthophyll cycle as well as tocopherol accumulation, and phenological adaptations, the latter allowing a complete resetting of the physiological performance of leaves. Moreover, although females showed higher lipid peroxidation than males during the coldest winter months, at the highest elevation and during flowering in spring, this oxidative stress was mild and transient with no negative consequences for the physiology of plants. It is concluded that evergreen mastic trees acclimate to winter conditions and higher elevations by activation of antioxidant defenses together with phenological adjustments, altogether playing a crucial role in plant survival. Sexual dimorphism in mastic trees appears as a relevant factor when considering sensitivity to photo-oxidative stress in winter and altitudinal conditions.

Abstract
The oxidative potential (OP) measures the ability of pollutants to oxidize a chemical/biological probe. Such assays are starting to gain acceptance as integrative exposure metrics associated with inflammatory-based pathologies. Diseases such as asthma, rhinitis or cancers are reported for workers exposed to oil mist, which are aerosols of metal working fluids (MWF) emitted during the machining of metals. Measuring oil mist in the air is challenging, and exposures are often quantified as the mass fraction, which does not account for exposures to the gaseous fraction. Consequently, exposures are underestimated and furthermore, the hazardous property of oil mist is not assessed. We postulate that it is more relevant to assess occupational exposures to the hazardous fractions of oil mist by measuring OP than by simply measuring mass. We characterized exposures to straight and water-based MWF among workers in the French and Swiss mechanical industry using standard methods for oil mist and the ferrous orange xylenol assay for OP assessment (OPFOX). Considering the particulate fraction, the water-based MWF presented the greatest OPFOX. The OP was associated with organic carbon and iron content. The gaseous fraction of the oil mist presented also an important redox activity, particularly in workshops where straight oils were used. The hexanal concentration was associated with this OPFOX. The OPFOX measurement is thus integrative of multiple parameters, and bring complementary information when assessing MWF exposures. Our results highlight that OPFOX account for MWF type and could be an interesting parameter to characterize such exposure.

Abstract
Edible oils are prone to oxidation during processing and storage that may negatively affect the oil quality and human health. Determining the peroxide value (PV) of edible oils is essential because PV is one of the most typically used quality parameters to monitor lipid oxidation and control oil quality. Many approaches have been developed to determine the PV of oils. Among them, iodometric titration is the commonly used method for PV determination. Considering the limitations related to titrimetric methods, such as time and environmental concerns, several instrumental techniques have been considered as reliable alternatives. The advantages and limitations of classical titration and instrumental methods are summarized in this review. The prospects and reformative aspects for the future applications of these approaches in PV determination are also discussed.

Abstract
Frying allows cooking food while promoting their organoleptic properties, imparting crunchiness and flavor. The drawback is the oxidation of triacylglycerides (TAGs), leading to the formation of primary oxidized TAGs. Although they have been associated with chronic and degenerative diseases, they are precursors of pleasant flavors in fried foods. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge about the oxidation species present in foods and their involvement in positive/negative health effects. In this work, high-resolution (HR) C30 reversed-phase (RP)-liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem HR mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was used to identify primary oxidation TAGs resulting from heating triolein (160 °C, 5 min). This allows simulating the initial heating process of frying oils usually used to prepare fried foods, such as chips, crisps, and snacks. Beyond hydroxy, dihydroxy, hydroperoxy, and hydroxy-hydroperoxy derivatives, already reported in phospholipids oxidized by Fenton reaction, new compounds were identified, such as dihydroxy-hydroperoxy-triolein derivatives and positional isomers (9/10- and 9/12-dihydroxy-triolein derivatives). These compounds should be considered when proposing flavor formation pathways and/or mitigating lipid-derived reactive oxygen species occurring during food frying.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that prevents metabolic side effects of the antipsychotic drugs (APDs) olanzapine and clozapine through unknown mechanisms. AIM This study aimed to investigate the effect of chronic APD and liraglutide co-treatment on key neural and peripheral metabolic signals, and acute liraglutide co-treatment on clozapine-induced hyperglycaemia. METHODS In study 1, rats were administered olanzapine (2 mg/kg), clozapine (12 mg/kg), liraglutide (0.2 mg/kg), olanzapine + liraglutide co-treatment, clozapine + liraglutide co-treatment or vehicle for six weeks. Feeding efficiency was examined weekly. Examination of brain tissue (dorsal vagal complex (DVC) and mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH)), plasma metabolic hormones and peripheral (liver and kidney) cellular metabolism and oxidative stress was conducted. In study 2, rats were administered a single dose of clozapine (12 mg/kg), liraglutide (0.4 mg/kg), clozapine + liraglutide co-treatment or vehicle. Glucose tolerance and plasma hormone levels were assessed. RESULTS Liraglutide co-treatment prevented the time-dependent increase in feeding efficiency caused by olanzapine, which plateaued by six weeks. There was no effect of chronic treatment on melanocortinergic, GABAergic, glutamatergic or endocannabionoid markers in the MBH or DVC. Peripheral hormones and cellular metabolic markers were unaltered by chronic APD treatment. Acute liraglutide co-treatment was unable to prevent clozapine-induced hyperglycaemia, but it did alter catecholamine levels. CONCLUSION The unexpected lack of change to central and peripheral markers following chronic treatment, despite the presence of weight gain, may reflect adaptive mechanisms. Further studies examining alterations across different time points are required to continue to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the benefits of liraglutide on APD-induced metabolic side effects.

Abstract
A reliable, non-enzymatic detection for H2O2 with high sensitivity and accuracy is of profound importance and getting considerable interest due to its usefulness in biological systems. Therefore, this work was aimed to develop a sensitive method for the detection of H2O2 using rhodamine B as a fluorescence system and tungsten doped graphitic carbon nitride (W/GCN) as catalysts. Fluorescence quenching and colorimetric properties of the chromogenic-dye probe were used as a detection strategy of H2O2. The enhanced catalytic property of nanoflakes of W/GCN was attributed to the unique structural characteristics, influenced by the dopant, that not only tuned its bandgap but also enhanced separation of electron-hole pairs as compared to planar and larger sized nanosheets of pristine GCN. This low-cost and rapid assay offered a very low limit of detection of 8 nM for the fluorescence quenching method and 20 nM for the colorimetric method. The linear range for fluorescence quenching and colorimetric H2O2 assays were from 10-500 nM and 35-400 nM, respectively. Therefore, this novel method of using W/GCN nanoflakes in fluorescence quenching and colorimetric based detections of H2O2 is expected to catch more interest on the topic of using non-enzymatic platforms for sensitive and selective detection of different analysts.

Abstract
We collected samples for oxidative stress and antioxidants in a high CO2 mesocosm experiment for two weeks, focussing on two common crustacean copepods Calanus finmarchicus and Temora longicornis. The samples were collected during a field experiment campaign studying responses of plankton communities to future ocean acidification (OA), off the Norwegian coast south of Bergen. The main results showed that there were species-specific differences between Temora and Calanus, especially in antioxidant defences (glutathione system) and oxidative stress (lipid peroxidation and reduced:oxidised glutathione ratio). Regular monitoring of chlorophyll a and jellyfish abundances taking place during the field campaign revealed that both chl a and predators may have affected the eco-physiological response. Antioxidant and oxidative stress levels are known to respond sensitively to both the food quality and quantity and the predator pressure, apart from environmental (i.e., abiotic) changes. Calanus was more robust towards OA, perhaps due to its high tolerance to a wide range of vertical physical-chemical conditions. Both top-down and bottom-up factors seem to play a role for the outcome of copepod responses to future ocean acidification.

Abstract
The fitness and recruitment of fish stocks can be markedly affected by environmental disturbances including global warming, eutrophication and contamination. Understanding the effects of environmental stressors on salmon physiology during marine residence is of a global concern as marine survival has decreased. We present a unique combination of physiological responses - antioxidant defence and oxidative damage biomarkers, stable isotopes and contaminant exposure biomarkers - measured from adult Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) collected at the Baltic Sea and studied in relation to environmental variables and fitness estimates. The results demonstrate that feeding populations of salmon display marked temporal and spatial variation in oxidative status. Better oxidative status of salmon was characterized by a higher amount of reduced glutathione (GSH) and decreased lipid peroxidation (LPX), when the weight-at-age of 3-4-year old sprats was higher and contaminant exposure biomarker (EROD) was lower. Summer season conditions, which included cooler sea surface temperature (SST), higher bottom O2 and less cyanobacteria also indicated conditions for better oxidative status. Summer SST was additionally shown to affected glutathione metabolism enzyme activities. Oxidative status was associated with stable isotopes δ13C and δ15N indicating indirect effect of abiotic conditions and lower levels of the food web. Differences in condition factor and growth were associated with oxidative status in one and two sea winter salmon, respectively. Wild salmon survival was higher in years when they had higher GSH and catalase activity and lower LPX. Enhanced glutathione metabolism and increased protein carbonyls were associated with higher occurrence of yolk-sac fry mortality (M74). Our results show that oxidative status can provide information on exposure to complex combinations of environmental conditions and stressors in the wild and provide a link of physiological function to individual and population level fitness effects.

Abstract
Glyphosate is the most used herbicide worldwide, targeting physiological pathways in plants. Recent studies have shown that glyphosate can also cause toxic effects in animals. We investigated the glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH)-induced changes in potato (Solanum tuberosum) plant chemistry and the effects of a GBH on the survival rate and oxidative status of the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata). The beetles were reared on potato plants grown in pots containing soil treated with a GBH (Roundup Gold, 450 g/l) or untreated soil (water control). The 2nd instar larvae were introduced to the potato plants and then collected in 2 phases: as 4th instar larvae and as adults. The main glycoalkaloids of the potato plants, α-solanine and α-chaconine, were measured twice during the experiment. The α-solanine was reduced in potato plants grown in GBH-treated soil, which can be detrimental to plant defenses against herbivores. GBH treatment had no effect on the survival rate or body mass of the larvae or the adult beetles. In the larvae, total glutathione (tGSH) concentration and the enzyme activity of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase, and glutathione-S-transferase were increased in the GBH treatment group. In the adult beetles, CAT activity and tGSH levels were affected by the interactive effect of GBH treatment and the body mass. To conclude, environmentally relevant concentrations of a GBH can affect the potato plant's glycoalkaloid concentrations, but are not likely to directly affect the survival rate of the Colorado potato beetle, but instead, modify the antioxidant defense of the beetles via diet.

Abstract
A fiber mat was developed to visually determine the oxidation of edible oils, based on the colorimetric reaction of Schiff's reagent and aldehydes - the major volatile formed during lipid oxidation. The mixtures of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Schiff's reagent containing various amounts of glycerol were electrospun to form the fiber mats. The response of the PVA/Schiff's reagent fiber mats to gaseous hexanal (model aldehyde) was investigated. Oxidized soybean oils were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the PVA/Schiff's reagent fiber mat for indicating oxidation of the oils. The results showed that the fiber mats obtained had average fiber diameters of less than 100 nm. Upon hexanal exposure, the fiber mats turned from white to purple. Higher amount of glycerol led to larger color change of the fiber mats and shorter response time to hexanal. A linear relationship (R2 = 0.96) was observed between the color change of the mat and hexanal concentration (15-117 μmol L-1). The visual determination limit of the mat for hexanal was 29 μmol L-1. The color change of the PVA/Schiff's reagent fiber mat was increased with an increase of soybean oil oxidation. Out of the seven soybean oils tested, the PVA/Schiff's reagent fiber mat was able to correctly indicate the oxidation states of six oils. The result suggested that the visual determination method developed is a promising method to indicate the oxidation of edible oils, which can be performed easily by non-experts.Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Boronate-based molecular probes are emerging as one of the most effective tools for detection and quantitation of peroxynitrite and hydroperoxides. This review discusses the chemical reactivity of boronate compounds in the context of their use for detection of biological oxidants, and presents examples of the practical use of those probes in selected chemical, enzymatic, and biological systems. The particular reactivity of boronates toward nucleophilic oxidants makes them a distinct class of probes for redox biology studies. We focus on the recent progress in the design and application of boronate-based probes in redox studies and perspectives for further developments.

Abstract
The ability of protein to reversibly bind with membrane components is considered to be one of the oldest mechanisms of cell response to external stimuli. Erythrocytes have a well-developed mechanism of an adaptive response involving sorption-desorption processes, e.g. interactions of key glycolytic enzymes and hemoglobin with band 3 protein. A few publications have shown that under oxidative stress, cytoplasmic enzymes such as catalase, glutathione peroxidase and рeroxiredoxin bind to the erythrocyte membrane. The present work is a continuation of research in this direction to determine the causes and consequences of the interaction of cytoplasmic proteins with the membrane under conditions of oxidative stress and different glucose content. Human erythrocytes were incubated for five hours at 20 °C in an oxidizing medium of AscH – 1 · 10–4 M, Cu2+– 5 · 10–6 M with different glucose content (0–8 mM). Dynamic changes in the accumulation of membrane-bound hemoglobin, the distribution of ligand forms of hemoglobin in the cytoplasmic and membrane-bound fractions, the activity of membrane-associated and cytoplasmic forms of Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) and catalase, H2O2 content in extracellular and intracellular media were recorded. It was shown that binding of catalase and SOD1 to the erythrocyte membrane is initiated by oxidative stress and is a physiological function aimed at complete inactivation of extracellular and H2O2 and protection against their entry into the cell. It was shown that under conditions of glucose depletion and oxidative loading, catalase and SOD1 bind to the erythrocyte membrane, leading to inactivation of these enzymes. Membrane-bound hemoglobin was higher in cells incubated under these conditions than in glucose experiments. Glucose introduced into the incubation medium in an amount 4–8 mM causes complete binding of SOD1 to the membrane of erythrocytes, by involving it in the processes of casein kinase stabilization and glycolytic fluxes regulation. With mild oxidation, the amount of hemoglobin bound to the membrane does not change, indicating the presence of certain binding sites for hemoglobin with membrane proteins. We show that the activity of membrane-bound SOD1 along with the content of ligand forms in the composition of membrane-bound hemoglobin are informative indicators of the metabolic and redox state of erythrocytes.

Identification of a New Variety of Avocados (Persea Americana Mill. CV. Bacon) with High Vitamin E and Impact of Cold Storage on Tocochromanols Composition. Antioxidants (Basel) 2020; 9:antiox9050403.

Abstract
(1) Background: Tocochromanols are a group of fat-soluble compounds including vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols) and plastochromanol-8, and just one avocado can contain up to 20% of the required vitamin E daily intake. (2) Methods: HPLC and LC-MS/MS analyses were performed in avocados of various varieties and origin for the identification and quantification of tocopherols, tocotrienols and plastochromanol-8. After selection of the variety with the highest vitamin E content, we evaluated to what extent short- (4 h) and long-term (10 d) cold storage influences the accumulation of tocochromanols. (3) Results: Analyses revealed that “Bacon” avocados (Persea americana Mill. cv. Bacon) were the richest in vitamin E compared to other avocado varieties (including the highly commercialized Hass variety), and they not only accumulated tocopherols (with 110 µg of α-tocopherol per g dry matter), but also tocotrienols (mostly in the form of γ-tocotrienol, with 3 µg per g dry matter) and plastochromanol-8 (4.5 µg per g dry matter). While short-term cold shock did not negatively influence α-tocopherol contents, it increased those of γ-tocopherol, γ-tocotrienol, and plastochromanol-8 and decreased those of δ-tocotrienol. Furthermore, storage of Bacon avocados for 10 d led to a 20% decrease in the contents of α-tocopherol, whereas the contents of other tocopherols, tocotrienols and plastochromanol-8 were not affected. (4) Conclusions: It is concluded that Bacon avocados (i) are very rich in α-tocopherol, (ii) not only contain tocopherols, but also tocotrienols and plastochromanol-8, and (iii) their nutritional vitamin E value is negatively influenced by long-term cold storage.

Abstract
Exposure of biological molecules to oxidants is inevitable and therefore commonplace. Oxidative stress in cells arises from both external agents and endogenous processes that generate reactive species, either purposely (e.g. during pathogen killing or enzymatic reactions) or accidentally (e.g. exposure to radiation, pollutants, drugs, or chemicals). As proteins are highly abundant and react rapidly with many oxidants, they are highly susceptible to, and major targets of, oxidative damage. This can result in changes to protein structure, function, and turnover and to loss or (occasional) gain of activity. Accumulation of oxidatively-modified proteins, due to either increased generation or decreased removal, has been associated with both aging and multiple diseases. Different oxidants generate a broad, and sometimes characteristic, spectrum of post-translational modifications. The kinetics (rates) of damage formation also vary dramatically. There is a pressing need for reliable and robust methods that can detect, identify, and quantify the products formed on amino acids, peptides, and proteins, especially in complex systems. This review summarizes several advances in our understanding of this complex chemistry and highlights methods that are available to detect oxidative modifications-at the amino acid, peptide, or protein level-and their nature, quantity, and position within a peptide sequence. Although considerable progress has been made in the development and application of new techniques, it is clear that further development is required to fully assess the relative importance of protein oxidation and to determine whether an oxidation is a cause, or merely a consequence, of injurious processes.

Abstract
Organisms live in complex multivariate environments. In agroecosystems, this complexity is often human-induced as pest individuals can be exposed to many xenobiotics simultaneously. Predicting the effects of multiple stressors can be problematic, as two or more stressors can have interactive effects. Our objective was to investigate whether indirect glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH) exposure of the host plant has interactive effects in combination with an insecticide (azinphos-methyl) on an invasive pest Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say). We tested the effects of GBH and insecticide on the survival, insecticide target genes expression (acetylcholinesterase genes) and oxidative status biomarkers (glutathione S-transferase [GST], glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase [G6PDH], glutathione reductase homolog [GR], glutathione peroxidase homolog [GPx], total glutathione [totGSH], glutathione reduced-oxidized [GSH: GSSG], catalase [CAT], superoxide dismutase [SOD], lipid hydroperoxides). We found that exposure to indirect GBH has no single or interactive effects in combination with the insecticide on larval survival. However, prior exposure to GBH inhibits Ldace1 gene expression by 0.55-fold, which is the target site for the organophosphate and carbamate insecticides. This difference disappears when individuals are exposed to both GBH and insecticide, suggesting an antagonistic effect. On the other hand, oxidative status biomarker scores (PCAs of GPx, GR, and CAT) were decreased when exposed to both stressors, indicating a synergistic effect. Overall, we found that indirect GBH exposure can have both antagonistic and synergistic effects in combination with an insecticide, which should be considered when aiming for an ecologically relevant risk assessment of multiple human-induced stressors.

Abstract
Fatty acid receptors have been recognized as important players in glycaemic control. This study is the first to describe a role for the medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) receptor G-protein-coupled receptor (Gpr) 84 in skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and insulin secretion. We are able to show that Gpr84 is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Mice with global deletion of Gpr84 [Gpr84 knockout (KO)] exhibit a mild impairment in glucose tolerance when fed a MCFA-enriched diet. Studies in mice and pancreatic islets suggest that glucose intolerance is accompanied by a defect in insulin secretion. MCFA-fed KO mice also exhibit a significant impairment in the intrinsic respiratory capacity of their skeletal muscle mitochondria, but at the same time also exhibit a substantial increase in mitochondrial content. Changes in canonical pathways of mitochondrial biogenesis and turnover are unable to explain these mitochondrial differences. Our results show that Gpr84 plays a crucial role in regulating mitochondrial function and quality control.-Montgomery, M. K., Osborne, B., Brandon, A. E., O'Reilly, L., Fiveash, C. E., Brown, S. H.

Abstract
Active packaging is becoming progressively more significant as a response to the dynamic changes in current consumer demand and market tendencies. Active packaging is projected to interact directly with the packaged food or with the headspace within the package with the aim of maintaining or extending product quality and shelf-life. Aiming for sustainability, the potential application as biodegradable films of whey protein concentrate (WPC) was evaluated. Aromatic plant's extracts present high antioxidant properties, representing an alternative for synthetic food additives. The main objective of this study was to verify the effectiveness of an edible WPC film incorporated with a plant-based extract on retarding the lipid oxidation of fresh salmon. Green tea extract (GTE) was chosen to be incorporated into the active film. Fresh salmon was packaged with the control film (WPC) and with active film (WPC-GTE). The oxidation level of non-packaged samples and packaged samples were tested for different storage times. Four methods were applied to evaluate lipid oxidation state of fresh salmon: peroxide value, p-anisidine value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) assay, and monitoring of hexanal. The results obtained in this study indicate that the whey protein active film was successfully produced, and it was effective in delaying lipid oxidation of fresh salmon samples until the 14th day of storage.

Abstract
Defects in hepatic lipid metabolism cause nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and insulin resistance, and these pathologies are closely linked. Regulation of lipid droplet metabolism is central to the control of intracellular fatty acid fluxes, and perilipin 5 (PLIN5) is important in this process. We examined the role of PLIN5 on hepatic lipid metabolism and systemic glycemic control using liver-specific Plin5-deficient mice (Plin5LKO ). Hepatocytes isolated from Plin5LKO mice exhibited marked changes in lipid metabolism characterized by decreased fatty acid uptake and storage, decreased fatty acid oxidation that was associated with reduced contact between lipid droplets and mitochondria, and reduced triglyceride secretion. With consumption of a high-fat diet, Plin5LKO mice accumulated intrahepatic triglyceride, without significant changes in inflammation, ceramide or diglyceride contents, endoplasmic reticulum stress, or autophagy. Instead, livers of Plin5LKO mice exhibited activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase, impaired insulin signal transduction, and insulin resistance, which impaired systemic insulin action and glycemic control. Re-expression of Plin5 in the livers of Plin5LKO mice reversed these effects. Together, we show that Plin5 is an important modulator of intrahepatic lipid metabolism and suggest that the increased Plin5 expression that occurs with overnutrition may play an important role in preventing hepatic insulin resistance.

Abstract
Glyphosate is the globally most used herbicide against a wide range of weeds. Glyphosate has been considered safe to animals as it mainly targets physiological pathways in plants. However, recent toxicological studies have revealed that glyphosate can cause various toxic effects also on animals. In this study, we investigated the direct toxic effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH, Roundup® Bio) on 1) survival and 2) oxidative status of a non-target herbivore by using Colorado potato beetles (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), originating from Poland and USA, as model species. Larvae were randomly divided into three groups: 1) high concentration (100% Roundup Bio, 360 g/l), 2) low concentration (1.5% Roundup Bio) and 3) control group (water). Larvae were exposed to Roundup for different time periods: 2 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h. Larval survival decreased in the group treated with high concentration of GBH compared to controls, whereas the low concentration group did not differ from the control group. GBH treatment had no association with oxidative status biomarkers (i.e. catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione and glutathione related enzymes), but increased lipid hydroperoxide levels after 2 h exposure, suggesting increased oxidative damage soon after the exposure. Larvae of different origin also differed in their oxidative status, indicating population-dependent differences in antioxidant defence system. Environmentally relevant concentrations of GBH are not likely to affect larval survival, but high concentrations can reduce survival and increase oxidative damage of non-target herbivores. Also, populations of different origin and pesticide usage history can differ in their tolerance to GBH.

Abstract
Although most studies to extend vase life in cut flowers have focused on flower senescence thus far, flower opening is a complex process of major biological significance in the determination of flower commercialization. In order to better understand flower opening, this study evaluated to what extent photoinhibition and photo-oxidative stress are associated with tepal de-greening during flower opening in lilies (Lilium "Litouwen"). We estimated the degree of photoinhibition, the capacity for photo- and antioxidant protection, and the extent of lipid peroxidation at four flower opening stages, from closed flowers to anthesis. Additionally, we evaluated to what extent and by which mechanisms related to photo- and antioxidant protection, Promalin® (a combination of gibberellins and cytokinins) delays flower opening. Results showed that chlorophyll content decreased progressively during flower opening, while a sharp decrease of the maximum PSII efficiency (Fv/Fm ratio) was observed just before anthesis. Moreover, content of secondary lipid peroxidation products (malondialdehyde and jasmonic acid) increased just before anthesis, which was preceded by an enhanced production of primary lipid peroxidation products (lipid hydroperoxides). While both tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E) increased during flower opening, β-carotene and xanthophyll content decreased sharply, which may be associated with the sharp decline in the Fv/Fm ratio before anthesis. Flowers treated with Promalin®, which showed delayed opening, experienced transient increases of lipid hydroperoxide and jasmonic acid contents at early stages of flower opening, together with reduced vitamin E and malondialdehyde contents just prior to anthesis. We conclude that the extent of photoinhibition, the capacity of photo- and antioxidant protection and the production of primary and secondary products of lipid peroxidation are finely controlled in a time-dependent manner to allow a correct development of lily flowers.

Abstract
On a daily basis, planktonic organisms migrate vertically and thus experience widely varying conditions in their physico-chemical environment. In the Gulf of Finland, these changes are larger than values predicted by climate change scenarios predicted for the next century (up to 0.5 units in pH and 5°C in temperature). In this work, we are interested in how temporal variations in physico-chemical characteristics of the water column on a daily and weekly scale influence oxidative stress level and antioxidant responses in the planktonic copepod of the genus Acartia. Responses were determined from samples collected during a two-week field survey in the western Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea. Our results showed that GST (Glutathione-S-transferase) enzyme activity increased in the surface waters between Weeks I and II, indicating antioxidant defense mechanism activation. This is most likely due to elevating temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen observed between these two weeks. During Week II also GSSG (oxidized glutathione) was detected, indicating that copepods responded to stressor(s) in the environment. Our results suggest that Acartia copepods seem fairly tolerant to weekly fluctuations in environmental conditions in coastal and estuarine areas, in terms of antioxidant defense and oxidative stress. This could be directly connected to a very efficient glutathione cycling system acting as antioxidant defense system for neutralizing ROS and avoiding elevated levels of LPX.

Abstract
Lipid droplets (LDs) are critical for the regulation of lipid metabolism, and dysregulated lipid metabolism contributes to the pathogenesis of several diseases, including type 2 diabetes. We generated mice with muscle-specific deletion of the LD-associated protein perilipin 5 (PLIN5, Plin5MKO ) and investigated PLIN5's role in regulating skeletal muscle lipid metabolism, intracellular signaling, and whole-body metabolic homeostasis. High-fat feeding induced changes in muscle lipid metabolism of Plin5MKO mice, which included increased fatty acid oxidation and oxidative stress but, surprisingly, a reduction in inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. These muscle-specific effects were accompanied by whole-body glucose intolerance, adipose tissue insulin resistance, and reduced circulating insulin and C-peptide levels in Plin5MKO mice. This coincided with reduced secretion of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) from skeletal muscle and liver, resulting in reduced circulating FGF21. Intriguingly, muscle-secreted factors from Plin5MKO , but not wild-type mice, reduced hepatocyte FGF21 secretion. Exogenous correction of FGF21 levels restored glycemic control and insulin secretion in Plin5MKO mice. These results show that changes in lipid metabolism resulting from PLIN5 deletion reduce ER stress in muscle, decrease FGF21 production by muscle and liver, and impair glycemic control. Further, these studies highlight the importance for muscle-liver cross talk in metabolic regulation.
