Long-Term Impact of Nutritional Intervention with Increased Polyphenol Intake and Physical Activity Promotion on Oxidative and Inflammatory Profiles in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome. Nutrients 2024; 16:2121. [PMID: 38999869 PMCID: PMC11243639 DOI: 10.3390/nu16132121] [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: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 06/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Obesity and overweight pose significant risks to health, contributing to the prevalence of chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The current study aimed to assess the impact of a 6-year nutritional and lifestyle intervention on oxidative and inflammatory markers in individuals aged 55 to 75, specifically those at high risk of CVD. A study was carried out in a group of 80 participants with metabolic syndrome (MetS) residing in Mallorca, Spain, who underwent nutritional intervention based on a low-calorie Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and promotion of physical activity. Before and after the intervention, several parameters including anthropometric data, haematological factors, blood pressure, and physical activity level were measured. Oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers in plasma were analysed. After the 6-year intervention, participants who managed to reduce their body mass index (BMI) had greater reductions in abdominal obesity, waist to heigh ratio (WHtR), diastolic blood pressure, and glucose levels, and increased high density protein cholesterol (HDL-c) compared to those who did not reduce BMI. This higher reduction in BMI was related to reduced energy intake and increased adherence to MedDiet, with greater polyphenol intake, and total physical activity (PA). Furthermore, improvements in oxidative stress and proinflammatory status were observed in participants who reduced their BMI. Significant reductions in the activity of the prooxidant enzyme, myeloperoxidase (MPO), levels of the lipid oxidation marker, malondialdehyde (MDA), and the proinflammatory chemokine, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1,) were found in those who reduced their BMI. In contrast, participants who did not improve their BMI exhibited higher levels of proinflammatory markers such as MCP-1 and tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα), as well as increased activity of the antioxidant enzyme catalase (CAT). Current findings suggest that an effective way to reduce BMI is a hypocaloric MedDiet combined with tailored physical activity to improve oxidative stress and proinflammatory status, and potentially reducing the risk of CVD.

Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Biomarkers Are Related to High Intake of Ultra-Processed Food in Old Adults with Metabolic Syndrome. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1532. [PMID: 37627527 PMCID: PMC10451674 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12081532] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
In the last few decades the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) worldwide has substantially augmented. Increasing evidence suggests that high UPF consumption is associated with an increase in non-communicable diseases, being overweight, and obesity. The aim of this study was to assess how UPF consumption affects oxidative and inflammatory status in the plasma, neutrophils, and urine of old adults with metabolic syndrome. Participants (n = 92) were classified into two groups according to UPF consumption. Dietary intakes were measured by a validated semi-quantitative 143-item food frequency questionnaire and UPF consumption was determined according to the NOVA classification system. Low UPF consumers showed higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet than high UPF consumers. A high intake of fiber and a high concentration of polyphenols in urine were also observed in subjects with low UPF consumption. Despite the absence of differences in biochemical profile, oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers showed some significant changes. Catalase and superoxide dismutase activities were lower in high UPF consumers, whereas myeloperoxidase activity was higher. ROS production in neutrophils stimulated with zymosan was higher in high UPF consumers than in low UPF consumers. Biomarkers such as xanthine oxidase, tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-15, and leptin levels were higher in participants with high intake of UPF. No differences were found in malondialdehyde and other inflammatory cytokines. The current study evidenced that MetS participants with high UPF consumption have a more pro-oxidant and inflammatory profile than those with low UPF consumption, despite showing similar blood biochemical profiles.

Abstract
Current procedures for the assessment of chronic wound infection are time-consuming and require complex instruments and trained personnel. The incidence of chronic wounds worldwide, and the associated economic burden, urge for simple and cheap point-of-care testing (PoCT) devices for fast on-site diagnosis to enable appropriate early treatment. The enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO), whose activity in infected wounds is about ten times higher than in non-infected wounds, appears to be a suitable biomarker for wound infection diagnosis. Herein, we develop a single-component foldable paper-based device for the detection of MPO in wound fluids. The analyte detection is achieved in two steps: (i) selective immunocapture of MPO, and (ii) reaction of a specific dye with the captured MPO, yielding a purple color with increasing intensity as a function of the MPO activity in infected wounds in the range of 20–85 U/mL. Ex vivo experiments with wound fluids validated the analytic efficiency of the paper-based device, and the results strongly correlate with a spectrophotometric assay.

Quantification of differential tissue biomarker responses to microplastic ingestion and plasticizer bioaccumulation in aquaculture reared sea bream Sparus aurata. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 211:113063. [PMID: 35271834 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2021] [Revised: 02/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Marine aquaculture is considered a potential source of microplastics (MPs). MPs can induce oxidative stress and damage in marine species. In this study we evaluated the impact of MPs intake in the commercial fish, Sparus aurata, from aquaculture facilities and the antioxidant response associated to this MPs ingestion in caged specimens for 120 days. Sampling was carried out at the beginning of the study (T0), at 60 days (T60) and at 120 days (T120). At each sampling stage, gastrointestinal tract, blood, plasma, liver and muscle samples were obtained to analyse MPs intake (gastrointestinal tract), oxidative stress markers (blood, plasma and liver) and plasticizers bioaccumulation (muscle). Fish sampled at T60 presented the highest MPs intake and plasticizers accumulated in muscle over time, but with a different pattern according to type: bisphenols and phthalates. This indicates MPs ingestion induces a differential tissue response in S. aurata. Similarly, stress biomarkers presented a differential response throughout the study, depending on the analysed tissue. In the case of oxidative damage markers, for malondialdehyde (MDA) an increase throughout the study was observed both in liver and blood cells but with a progressive decrease in plasma. In the case of phase I detoxifying enzyme activities in liver, 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD), 7-benzyloxy-4-[trifluoromethyl]-coumarin-O-debenzyloxylase (BFCOD) and carboxylesterases (CE), showed a comparable decrease at T60 with a slight recovery at T120. In contrast, glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity was significantly enhanced at T60 compared to the other sampling stages. In conclusion, MPs ingestion occurs in aquaculture reared seabream where potentially associated plasticizers accumulate in the muscle and both could be responsible for plasma and liver oxidative stress damage and alterations on detoxifying biomarkers responses.

Effects of 2-Year Nutritional and Lifestyle Intervention on Oxidative and Inflammatory Statuses in Individuals of 55 Years of Age and over at High Cardiovascular Risk. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11071326.

Abstract
Obesity and overweight are disorders with high impact on the morbidity and mortality of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We aim to assess the effects of 2-year nutritional and lifestyle intervention on oxidative and inflammatory status in individuals of 55 years of age and over at high CVD risk. Participants (n = 100 individuals of 55 years of age and over living in the Balearic Islands, Spain) were randomized into control and intervention group. Anthropometric and haematological parameters, blood pressure and physical activity were measured before and after the intervention. Oxidative and inflammatory biomarkers in plasma, urine, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and neutrophils were determined. A higher reduction in abdominal obesity, blood pressure and triglycerides levels was observed after a 2-year intervention. An improvement of oxidative stress and proinflammatory status was demonstrated with a significant reduction in myeloperoxidase, xanthine oxidase, malondialdehyde and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1) levels, and an increase in polyphenols in plasma was observed. A decrease in reactive oxygen species production in PBMCs and neutrophils levels after zymosan and lipopolysaccharide activation was found in the intervention group with respect to the control group. The intervention with hypocaloric Mediterranean Diet and customized physical activity improves oxidative stress and proinflammatory status and could contribute to decreasing the CVD risk.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by increased pro-oxidative stress and a pro-inflammatory state. Several studies emphasized the protective effect of the Mediterranean dietary pattern (MDP). To assess the oxidative and inflammatory state according to the adherence to MDP using biomarkers in patients with MetS. Antioxidant and pro-inflammatory biomarkers were determined in plasma, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and neutrophils of adults (aged 55–75 years old; 60% women) with MetS living in Mallorca (Spain). Anthropometrics, dietary intake by a validated semi-quantitative 143-item food frequency questionnaire, and a Dietary Inflammatory Index were measured. Patients with low adherence to MDP showed higher levels of glycated haemoglobin A1c and triglycerides, and lower levels of HDL cholesterol. Plasma levels of interleukin-1β, IL-6, IL-15, tumour necrosis factor α, xanthine oxidase, and ghrelin, and activities of superoxide dismutase, and myeloperoxidase were higher in subjects with low adherence to the MDP. Reactive oxygen species production in PBMCs and neutrophils stimulated with lipopolysaccharide was higher in participants with low adherence to the MDP. Patients with MetS and higher adherence to the MDP showed less altered anthropometric parameters, blood biochemical profile, and better oxidative and inflammatory status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pork lard (PL) is traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory agent. We propose to demonstrate the anti-inflammatory properties of PL, and elucidate which compounds could be responsible for the anti-inflammatory effects. METHODS The anti-inflammatory effects of PL were tested in a rat model of zymosan-induced hind paw inflammation. Further, the hydroalcoholic extract from PL was obtained, the composition analyzed, and the anti-inflammatory activity of the extracts and isolated components assayed using immune cells stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). RESULTS Applying the ointment on the inflamed rat feet reduced the foot diameter, foot weight, and activities of antioxidant enzymes and inflammatory markers of circulating neutrophils. The main components of the hydroalcoholic extract were 5-dodecanolide, oleamide, hexadecanoic acid, 9-octadecenoic acid, hexadecanamide, and resolvin D1. CONCLUSIONS PL reduces the immune response in an animal model stimulated with zymosan. Hydroalcoholic PL extract and its components (5-Dodecanolide, Oleamide, and Resolvin D1) exerted an anti-inflammatory effect on LPS-stimulated neutrophils and peripheral mononuclear cells reducing the capability to produce TNFα, as well as the activities of antioxidant and pro-inflammatory enzymes. These effects are attributable to 5-dodecanolide, although the effects of this compound alone do not reach the magnitude of the anti-inflammatory effects observed by the complete hydroalcoholic extract.

Abstract
The constant increase in plastic pollution has attracted great attention in recent years due to its potential detrimental effects on organisms and ecosystems. While the consequences of ingestion of large plastic litter are mostly understood, the impacts resulting from a long-term exposure and a recovery period of microplastics (MPs) are still limited. The aims were to monitor oxidative stress, detoxification and inflammatory biomarkers in liver, plasma and erythrocytes of Sparus aurata exposed during 90 days to low-density polyethylene (LDPE)-MPs enriched diet (10% by weight) followed by 30 days of depuration. Exposure to LDPE-MPs progressively activates the antioxidant and detoxification system and induces an inflammatory response in liver and plasma, whereas no significant changes were observed in erythrocytes. The plasma activities of catalase, myeloperoxidase (MPO), lysozyme and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) as maker of lipid peroxidation significantly increased after exposure to LDPE-MPs for 90 days compared to the control group. The activities of all antioxidant enzymes - catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase-, the detoxification enzyme glutathione s-transferase, MPO, the production of reactive oxygen species and the levels of MDA were also significantly increased in liver after MPs exposure. Additionally, all these biomarkers tended to recover during the depuration period, most of them reaching similar levels to those of the control group. In conclusion, the ingestion of a diet containing LDPE-MPs for 90 days induced a progressive increase in oxidative stress and inflammation biomarkers in liver and plasma of S. aurata but not in erythrocytes, which tended to regain control values when not exposed to MPs for 30 days. The present study contributes to a better understanding of the toxic effects of MPs in S. aurata and highlights the usefulness of plasma that can be obtained in a minimally invasive way to monitor these effects.

Ex Vivo Study on the Antioxidant Activity of a Winemaking By-Product Polyphenolic Extract (Taurisolo ®) on Human Neutrophils. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10071009. [PMID: 34201732 PMCID: PMC8300751 DOI: 10.3390/antiox10071009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/18/2021] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress (OxS) has been linked to several chronic diseases and is recognized to have both major causes and consequences. The use of antioxidant-based nutraceuticals has been licensed as an optimal tool for management of OxS-related diseases. Currently, great interest is focused on the valorization of agri-food by-products as a source of bioactive compounds, including polyphenols. In this sense, we evaluated the efficacy of a novel nutraceutical formulation based on polyphenolic extract from Aglianico cultivar grape pomace (registered as Taurisolo®). In particular, we tested both native and in vitro gastrointestinal digested forms. The two extracts have been used to treat ex vivo neutrophils from subjects with metabolic syndrome, reporting a marked antioxidant activity of Taurisolo®, as shown by its ability to significantly reduce both the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the activities of catalase and myeloperoxidase in the cell medium after stimulation of neutrophils with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Interestingly, we observed an increase in intracellular enzymatic activities in PMA-treated cells, suggesting that Taurisolo® polyphenols might be able to activate nuclear factors, up-regulating the expression of this target antioxidant gene. In addition, Taurisolo® reversed the increase in malondialdehyde induced by PMA; reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory genes such as cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and myeloperoxidase (MPO); and induced the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Overall, these results suggest the efficacy of Taurisolo® in contrasting the OxS at blood level, providing evidence for its therapeutic potential in the management of OxS-related pathological conditions in humans.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 767:144976.

Abstract
Plastics accumulation in marine ecosystems has notable ecological implications due to their long persistence, potential ecotoxicity, and ability to adsorb other pollutants or act as vectors of pathogens. The present work aimed to evaluate the physiological response of the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) fed for 90 days with a diet enriched with virgin and seawater exposed low-density polyethylene microplastics (LDPE-MPs) (size between 100 and 500 μM), followed by 30 days of depuration, applying oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in liver homogenates. No effects of LDPE-MPs treatments on fish growth were observed throughout this study. A progressive increase in antioxidant enzyme activities was observed throughout the study in both treatments, although this increase was higher in the group treated with seawater exposed MPs. This increase was significantly higher in catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GRd), and glutathione-s-transferase (GST) in the seawater exposed MPs group, with respect to the virgin group. In contrast, no significant differences were recorded in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) between both groups. Exposure to MPs also caused an increase in the oxidative damage markers (malondialdehyde and carbonyls groups). Myeloperoxidase activity significantly increased because of MPs treatments. After 30 days of depuration, antioxidant, inflammatory enzyme activities and oxidative damage markers returned to values similar to those observed in the control group. In conclusion, MPs exposure induced an increase of antioxidant defences in the liver of S. aurata. However, these elevated antioxidant capabilities were not enough to prevent oxidative damage in the liver since, an increased oxidative damage marker was associated with MPs ingestion. The treatment with seawater exposed MPs caused a more significant antioxidant response (CAT, GRs, and GST). Although after a depuration period of 30 days a tendency to recover the initial values of the biomarkers was observed this does not seem to be time enough for a complete normalization.

Physiological biomarkers in loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta) as a tool for monitoring sanitary evolution in marine recovery centres. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 757:143930.

Abstract
The loggerhead turtle, Caretta caretta, is a very vulnerable species to human action which means that numerous specimens arrive at the recovery centres to be treated until they can be returned to the natural environment. The aim of the present study was to investigate the physiological evolution of C. caretta specimens that have entered a recovery centre by using oxidative stress biomarkers. Plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of specimens were obtained at different periods: the day of arrival at the recovery centre (day 1), at 3, 9, and 30 days later, and a final sample collected before the animal was returned to the sea. The average residence time in the centre until the return to the sea was 58.5 ± 6.1 days. The activities of antioxidant enzymes - catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase, and glutathione peroxidase activities in immune cells and CAT and SOD in plasma - progressively decreased throughout the recovery time. Similarly, H2O2 production by immune cells after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and zymosan activation progressively decreased with the recovery process. Also, malondialdehyde (MDA), as a marker of lipid peroxidation, and the activity of the pro-oxidant myeloperoxidase were significantly decreased throughout the recovery process. In conclusion, the results evidenced that the turtles presented a high level of oxidative stress upon arrival at the recovery centre, which was normalized along with their rehabilitation. Oxidative stress biomarkers are a good tool to monitor the recovery process in C. caretta complementary to the veterinary control.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with increased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. MetS is also characterized by an increase of oxidative stress which contributes to impaired inflammation, vascular function, and atherosclerosis. The aim was to assess the oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in plasma and PBMCs in adults with or without MetS. Antioxidant and inflammatory parameters were measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 80 men and 80 women over 55 to 80-years-old residing in the Balearic Islands without previously documented cardiovascular disease. Circulating leukocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, basophils, and monocytes were higher in MetS subjects with respect to those without MetS. Plasma levels of malondialdehyde, tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels were higher in MetS subjects in both genders, but the superoxide dismutase activity was lower. The myeloperoxidase plasma activity was higher in the MetS male subjects. Higher activities and protein levels of catalase and glutathione reductase in PBMCs were observed in MetS subjects in both genders. Obtained data show that MetS is associated with oxidative stress and a proinflammatory state and with high antioxidant defenses in PBMCs probably derived from a pre-activation state of immune cells.

Abstract
A defining characteristic of bacterial cytochromes (cyt's) in the P460 family is an unusual cross-link connecting the heme porphyrin to the side chain of a lysyl residue in the protein backbone. Here, via proteomics of the periplasmic fraction of the ammonia-oxidizing bacterium (AOB) Nitrosomonas europaea, we report the identification of a variant member of the P460 family that contains a methionyl residue in place of the cross-linking lysine. We formally designate this protein cytochrome "c'β-Met" to distinguish it from other members bearing different residues at this position (e.g., cyt c'β-Phe from the methane-oxidizing Methylococcus capsulatus Bath). As isolated, the monoheme cyt c'β-Met is high-spin (S = 5/2). Optical spectroscopy suggests that a cross-link is absent. Hydroxylamine, the substrate for the cross-linked cyt P460 from N. europaea, did not appreciably alter the optical spectrum of cyt c'β with up to 1000-fold excess at pH 7.5. Cyt c'β-Met did however bind 1 equiv of H2O2, and with a slight excess, Mössbauer spectroscopy indicated the formation of a semistable ferryl (FeIV═O) Compound II-like species. The corresponding electron paramagnetic resonance showed a very low intensity signal indicative of a radical at g = 2.0. Furthermore, cyt c'β-Met exhibited guaiacol-dependent peroxidase activity (kcat = 20.0 ± 1.2 s-1; KM = 2.6 ± 0.4 mM). Unlike cyt c'β-Met, cyt P460 showed evidence of heme inactivation in the presence of 2 equiv of H2O2 with no appreciable guaiacol-dependent peroxidase activity. Mutagenesis of the cross-linking lysyl residue to an alanine in cyt P460, however, reversed this lack of activity.

Abstract
The heme in the active center of peroxidases reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form highly reactive intermediates, which then oxidize simple substances called peroxidase substrates. Human peroxidases can be divided into two groups: (1) True peroxidases are enzymes whose main function is to generate free radicals in the peroxidase cycle and (pseudo)hypohalous acids in the halogenation cycle. The major true peroxidases are myeloperoxidase, eosinophil peroxidase and lactoperoxidase. (2) Pseudo-peroxidases perform various important functions in the body, but under the influence of external conditions they can display peroxidase-like activity. As oxidative intermediates, these peroxidases produce not only active heme compounds, but also protein-based tyrosyl radicals. Hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochrome c/cardiolipin complexes and cytoglobin are considered as pseudo-peroxidases. Рeroxidases play an important role in innate immunity and in a number of physiologically important processes like apoptosis and cell signaling. Unfavorable excessive peroxidase activity is implicated in oxidative damage of cells and tissues, thereby initiating the variety of human diseases. Hence, regulation of peroxidase activity is of considerable importance. Since peroxidases differ in structure, properties and location, the mechanisms controlling peroxidase activity and the biological effects of peroxidase products are specific for each hemoprotein. This review summarizes the knowledge about the properties, activities, regulations and biological effects of true and pseudo-peroxidases in order to better understand the mechanisms underlying beneficial and adverse effects of this class of enzymes.

[PMID: 27600061 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.201600450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 43] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2016] [Revised: 07/26/2016] [Accepted: 08/01/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
SCOPE This study assessed plasmatic antioxidant capabilities and xanthine oxidase (XOX) activity in metabolic syndrome patients after 5 years intervention with Mediterranean diet (MeDiet) supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil or with nuts or with low-fat diet (the PREDIMED [PREvención con Dieta MEDiterránea] study). METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-five participants were randomly selected. Daily energy and nutrient intake were assessed with a validated 137-item food frequency questionnaire, and adherence to the MeDiet was assessed using a 14-item questionnaire. Catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), myeloperoxidase, XOX activities and protein levels, and protein carbonyl derivatives, nitrotyrosine, nitrite and nitrate levels were determined in overnight fasting venous blood samples. The plasma activity and protein levels of SOD and catalase were significantly higher and XOX activity was lower in MeDiet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil and MeDiet supplemented with nuts than in the control group. Participants in both MeDiet groups showed higher plasma nitrate levels than in the control group. Adherence to the MeDiet showed a positive correlation with SOD and catalase plasma antioxidant activities. CONCLUSION A MeDiet enriched with either virgin olive oil or nuts enhances the plasma antioxidant capabilities and decreases XOX activity in patients with the metabolic syndrome but we did not observe changes in myeloperoxidase or markers of oxidative damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite its important role in the immune system, myeloperoxidase (MPO) is implicated in a wide range of inflammatory syndromes due to its oxidative product HOCl. The oxidative damages caused by MPO make it a new target for developing promising anti-inflammatory agents. In this paper, we tried to understand the mechanism of MPO inhibition in order to facilitate the drug design, to develop more accurate virtual tests and to understand the structure-activity relationship. RESULTS Based on docking experiments, kinetic studies and in vitro tests, it is determined that a potent MPO inhibitor must possess an oxidizable group in addition to a high affinity with the active site. At last, a new hit was found in this work namely 4-(3-hydroxy-phenoxy)-butylamine (5) that has IC50 of 86 nM. CONCLUSION Hydroxy-phenoxy alkylamine derivatives were found to be promising MPO inhibitors and they may represent an important starting point in the development of more potent MPO inhibitors.

Gut Microbiota Conversion of Dietary Ellagic Acid into Bioactive Phytoceutical Urolithin A Inhibits Heme Peroxidases. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0156811.

Abstract
Numerous studies signify that diets rich in phytochemicals offer many beneficial functions specifically during pathologic conditions, yet their effects are often not uniform due to inter-individual variation. The host indigenous gut microbiota and their modifications of dietary phytochemicals have emerged as factors that greatly influence the efficacy of phytoceutical-based intervention. Here, we investigated the biological activities of one such active microbial metabolite, Urolithin A (UA or 3,8-dihydroxybenzo[c]chromen-6-one), which is derived from the ellagic acid (EA). Our study demonstrates that UA potently inhibits heme peroxidases i.e. myeloperoxidase (MPO) and lactoperoxidase (LPO) when compared to the parent compound EA. In addition, chrome azurol S (CAS) assay suggests that EA, but not UA, is capable of binding to Fe3+, due to its catechol-like structure, although its modest heme peroxidase inhibitory activity is abrogated upon Fe3+-binding. Interestingly, UA-mediated MPO and LPO inhibition can be prevented by innate immune protein human NGAL or its murine ortholog lipocalin 2 (Lcn2), implying the complex nature of host innate immunity-microbiota interactions. Spectral analysis indicates that UA inhibits heme peroxidase-catalyzed reaction by reverting the peroxidase back to its inactive native state. In support of these in vitro results, UA significantly reduced phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced superoxide generation in neutrophils, however, EA failed to block the superoxide generation. Treatment with UA significantly reduced PMA-induced mouse ear edema and MPO activity compared to EA treated mice. Collectively, our results demonstrate that microbiota-mediated conversion of EA to UA is advantageous to both host and microbiota i.e. UA-mediated inhibition of pro-oxidant enzymes reduce tissue inflammation, mitigate non-specific killing of gut bacteria, and abrogate iron-binding property of EA, thus providing a competitive edge to the microbiota in acquiring limiting nutrient iron and thrive in the gut.

THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PATHOLOGY 2016; 186:912-26.

Abstract
Green tea-derived polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has been extensively studied for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in models of inflammatory bowel disease, yet the underlying molecular mechanism is not completely understood. Herein, we demonstrate that EGCG can potently inhibit the proinflammatory enzyme myeloperoxidase in vitro in a dose-dependent manner over a range of physiologic temperatures and pH values. The ability of EGCG to mediate its inhibitory activity is counter-regulated by the presence of iron and lipocalin 2. Spectral analysis indicated that EGCG prevents the peroxidase-catalyzed reaction by reverting the reactive peroxidase heme (compound I:oxoiron) back to its native inactive ferric state, possibly via the exchange of electrons. Further, administration of EGCG to dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitic mice significantly reduced the colonic myeloperoxidase activity and alleviated proinflammatory mediators associated with gut inflammation. However, the efficacy of EGCG against gut inflammation is diminished when orally coadministered with iron. These findings indicate that the ability of EGCG to inhibit myeloperoxidase activity is one of the mechanisms by which it exerts mucoprotective effects and that counter-regulatory factors such as dietary iron and luminal lipocalin 2 should be taken into consideration for optimizing clinical management strategies for inflammatory bowel disease with the use of EGCG treatment.

Abstract
During an inflammatory response in the gut, some commensal bacteria such as E. coli can thrive and contribute to disease. Here we demonstrate that enterobactin (Ent), a catecholate siderophore released by E. coli, is a potent inhibitor of myeloperoxidase (MPO), a bactericidal enzyme of the host. Glycosylated Ent (salmochelin) and non-catecholate siderophores (yersiniabactin and ferrichrome) fail to inhibit MPO activity. An E. coli mutant (ΔfepA) that overproduces Ent, but not an Ent-deficient double mutant (ΔaroB/ΔfepA), inhibits MPO activity and exhibits enhanced survival in inflamed guts. This survival advantage is counter-regulated by lipocalin 2, a siderophore-binding host protein, which rescues MPO from Ent-mediated inhibition. Spectral analysis reveals that Ent interferes with compound I [oxoiron, Fe(IV)=O] and reverts the enzyme back to its native ferric [Fe(III)] state. These findings define a fundamental mechanism by which E. coli surpasses the host innate immune responses during inflammatory gut diseases and gains a distinct survival advantage.

Effects of docosahexaenoic supplementation and in vitro vitamin C on the oxidative and inflammatory neutrophil response to activation. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2015; 2015:187849.

Abstract
We studied the effects of diet supplementation with docosahexaenoic (DHA) and in vitro vitamin C (VitC) at physiological concentrations on oxidative and inflammatory neutrophil response to phorbol myristate acetate (PMA). Fifteen male footballers ingested a beverage enriched with DHA or a placebo for 8 weeks in a randomized double-blind study. Neutrophils were isolated from blood samples collected in basal conditions at the end of nutritional intervention. Neutrophils were cultured for 2 hours at 37°C in (a) control media, (b) media with PMA, and (c) media with PMA + VitC. PMA induces neutrophil degranulation with increased extracellular myeloperoxidase and catalase activities, nitric oxide production, expression of the inflammatory genes cyclooxygenase-2, nuclear factor κβ, interleukin 8 and tumor necrosis factor α, and interleukin 6 production. DHA diet supplementation boosts the exit of CAT from neutrophils but moderates the degranulation of myeloperoxidase granules induced by PMA. VitC facilitates azurophilic degranulation of neutrophils and increases gene expression of myeloperoxidase induced by PMA. VitC and DHA diet supplementation prevent PMA effects on inflammatory gene expression, although together they do not produce additional effects. DHA diet supplementation enhances antioxidant defences and anti-inflammatory neutrophil response to in vitro PMA activation. VitC facilitates neutrophil degranulation but prevents an inflammatory response to PMA.

Abstract
The central role of oxidative signalling in cardiovascular pathophysiology positions biometric measures of redox state as excellent markers for research and clinical application. However, despite this tantalizing biological plausibility, no redox biomarker is currently in widespread clinical use. Major recent insights into the mechanistic complexities of redox signalling may yet provide the opportunity to identify markers that most closely reflect the underlying pathobiology. Such redox biomarkers may, in principle, quantify the integrated effects of various known and unknown pathophysiological drivers of cardiovascular disease processes. Recent advances with the greatest potential include assays measuring post-translational oxidative modifications that have significant cellular effects. However, analytical issues, including the relative instability of redox-modified products, remain a major technical obstacle. Appreciation of these challenges may facilitate future development of user-friendly markers with prognostic value in addition to traditional risk factors, and which could be used to guide personalized cardiovascular therapies. We review both established and recently identified biomarkers of redox signalling, and provide a realistic discussion of the many challenges that remain if they are to be incorporated into clinical practice. Despite the current lack of redox biomarkers in clinical application, the integral role of reactive oxygen species in pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease provides a strong incentive for continued efforts.

Abstract
Diet supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids could influence the oxidative equilibrium, enhancing a pro-oxidant status. The aim was to determine the effects of diet supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), training, and acute exercise on oxidative balance in neutrophils. Fifteen volunteer male soccer players were randomly assigned to a placebo or experimental group. The placebo group was supplemented with an almond-based beverage whereas the experimental group was supplemented with the same beverage enriched with DHA, in addition to their Mediterranean-type diet. Three blood samples were taken: in basal conditions at the beginning of the nutritional intervention and after 8 weeks of training season in basal and postexercise conditions. The training season significantly increased the antioxidant defenses of neutrophils, such as catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase enzyme activities; and decreased oxidative damage markers such as malondialdehyde, carbonyl and nitrotyrosine indexes. Oxidative damage markers decreased in neutrophils after acute exercise, which primed neutrophils to produce reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) after immune stimulation with zymosan or phorbol myristate acetate in trained footballers. DHA supplementation resulted in no significant effects on oxidative stress balance in neutrophils. In conclusion, DHA supplementation did not modify the adaptive response of the antioxidant system of neutrophils to training or the production of RONS induced by immune stimulation after acute exercise.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a common mediator in pathogenicity of established cardiovascular risk factors. Furthermore, it likely mediates effects of emerging, less well-defined variables that contribute to residual risk not explained by traditional factors. Functional oxidative modifications of cellular proteins, both reversible and irreversible, are a causal step in cellular dysfunction. Identifying markers of oxidative stress has been the focus of many researchers as they have the potential to act as an “integrator” of a multitude of processes that drive cardiovascular pathobiology. One of the major challenges is the accurate quantification of reactive oxygen species with very short half-life. Redox-sensitive proteins with important cellular functions are confined to signalling microdomains in cardiovascular cells and are not readily available for quantification. A popular approach is the measurement of stable by-products modified under conditions of oxidative stress that have entered the circulation. However, these may not accurately reflect redox stress at the cell/tissue level. Many of these modifications are “functionally silent”. Functional significance of the oxidative modifications enhances their validity as a proposed biological marker of cardiovascular disease, and is the strength of the redox cysteine modifications such as glutathionylation. We review selected biomarkers of oxidative stress that show promise in cardiovascular medicine, as well as new methodologies for high-throughput measurement in research and clinical settings. Although associated with disease severity, further studies are required to examine the utility of the most promising oxidative biomarkers to predict prognosis or response to treatment. Oxidative stress is a common mediator in pathobiology of risk factors for CVD. Oxidative modifications of proteins and lipids alter cellular function. Some oxidative biomarkers have been associated with severity of CVD. Pathophysiologically relevant biomarkers may integrate the effect of risk factors. Utility of oxidative biomarkers to guide prognosis/treatment merits further work.

Abstract
Lippia citriodora (lemon verbena) has been widely used in folk medicine for its pharmacological properties. Verbascoside, the most abundant compound in this plant, has protective effects associated mostly with its strong antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study was to test the effect of L. citriodora extract intake on the antioxidant response of blood cells and to correlate this response with the phenolic metabolites found in plasma. For this purpose, firstly the L. citriodora extract was characterized and its radical scavenging activity was measured by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Then, catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GRed) activities were determined in lymphocytes, erythrocytes, and neutrophils isolated from rats after acute intake of L. citriodora. Phenolic metabolites were analyzed in the same plasma samples by HPLC-ESI-TOF-MS. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in neutrophils, which has been proposed as a marker for inflammatory vascular damage, was also determined. After L. citriodora administration, the antioxidant enzymes activities significantly accelerated (p<0.05) while MPO activity subsided, indicating that the extract protects blood cells against oxidative damage and shows potential anti-inflammatory and antiatherogenic activities. The main compounds found in plasma were verbascoside and isoverbascoside at a concentration of 80±10 and 57±4 ng/ml, respectively. Five other metabolites derived from verbascoside and isoverbascoside were also found in plasma, namely hydroxytyrosol, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, ferulic acid glucuronide, and homoprotocatechuic acid, together with another eight phenolic compounds. Therefore, the phenylpropanoids verbascoside and isoverbascoside, as well as their metabolites, seem to be the responsible for the above-mentioned effects, although the post-transcriptional activation mechanism of blood-cell antioxidant enzymes by these compounds needs further investigation.

Abstract
The toxicity of carcinogenic benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) can be intensified by the pro-oxidative effects of metabolic activation. The oxidatively active products can be formed during enzymatic biotransformation or in the process of co-oxygenation with lipid peroxidation. This study assesses if the acute hyperlipidemia can increase pro-oxidative effects of BaP as a factor intensifying processes of lipid peroxidation and co-oxygenation. After three days of i.p. administration of BaP or guaiacol (equimolar dose 10mg/kg b.w.) without or with the hyperlipidemia inducer-Triton WR-1339 to male Wistar rats, the levels of α- and γ-tocopherol were measured in erythrocytes and plasma together with the level of lipid peroxidation as malonyldialdehyde (MDA) concentration. Guaiacol was chosen as a reference substance due to its high ability to co-oxygenate. Additionally, the activity of superoxide dismutase (Cu,ZnSOD) in erythrocytes and plasma was monitored. In normolipaemic groups the significant decrease in erythrocyte α-tocopherol pool and the increase in lipid peroxidation level were observed after BaP or guaiacol administration. In hyperlipaemic groups, despite the increase in the level of lipid peroxidation, there were no additional effects in tocopherol pools compared to the normolipaemic groups which could be attributed to co-oxygenation. Decrease of α-tocopherol in erythrocytes was proportional to the reduction in normolipemic subjects when accounting for the migration to hyperlipemic plasma. There was no co-oxygenation effect on the activity of superoxide dismutase (Cu,ZnSOD) in blood.

Abstract
Cytochrome bd from Escherichia coli is able to oxidize such substrates as guaiacol, ferrocene, benzohydroquinone, and potassium ferrocyanide through the peroxidase mechanism, while none of these donors is oxidized in the oxidase reaction (i.e. in the reaction that involves molecular oxygen as the electron acceptor). Peroxidation of guaiacol has been studied in detail. The dependence of the rate of the reaction on the concentration of the enzyme and substrates as well as the effect of various inhibitors of the oxidase reaction on the peroxidase activity have been tested. The dependence of the guaiacol-peroxidase activity on the H2O2 concentration is linear up to the concentration of 8 mM. At higher concentrations of H2O2, inactivation of the enzyme is observed. Guaiacol markedly protects the enzyme from inactivation induced by peroxide. The peroxidase activity of cytochrome bd increases with increasing guaiacol concentration, reaching saturation in the range from 0.5 to 2.5 mM, but then starts falling. Such inhibitors of the ubiquinol-oxidase activity of cytochrome bd as cyanide, pentachlorophenol, and 2-n-heptyl 4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide also suppress its guaiacol-peroxidase activity; in contrast, zinc ions have no influence on the enzyme-catalyzed peroxidation of guaiacol. These data suggest that guaiacol interacts with the enzyme in the center of ubiquinol binding and donates electrons into the di-heme center of oxygen reduction via heme b(558), and H2O2 is reduced by heme d. Although the peroxidase activity of cytochrome bd from E. coli is low compared to peroxidases, it might be of physiological significance for the bacterium itself and plays a pathophysiological role for humans and animals.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Increasing evidence indicates that glial cells play a pivotal role in a wide range of brain diseases. As glial cells orchestrate inflammatory responses in the CNS, recent studies have focused on glial cells and neuroinflammation as drug targets for the treatment of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW In this review, we aim to give an overview of the current literature and patents for inhibitors of inflammatory oxidative enzymes in glia such as NADPH oxidase, myeloperoxidase, COX-2 and 5-lipooxygenase. WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN Recent literature and patents on natural products or small molecule-based inhibitors of glial oxidative enzymes are reviewed. TAKE HOME MESSAGE Extensive studies and patents recently reported in this field suggest that glial inhibitors may soon proceed to clinical trials. However, before glial inhibitors can serve as novel drugs for the treatment of neuroinflammatory disorders, the neurotoxic and neuroprotective effects of glial neuroinflammatory responses need to be better dissected.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) could induce oxidative damage at long distance from its generation site and it is also an important signalling molecule that induces some genes related to oxidative stress. Our objective was to study the plasma and blood cells capability to detoxify H2O2 after intense exercise and its correlation with oxidative damage. Blood samples were taken from nine professional cycling, participating in a mountain stage, under basal conditions and 3 h after the competition. Catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities decreased (40 and 50% respectively) in neutrophils after the cycling stage, while glutathione peroxidase increased (87%) in lymphocytes. Catalase protein levels and catalase specific activity maintained basal values after the stage in plasma. Catalase protein levels decreased (48%) in neutrophils and its specific activity increased up to plasma values after exercise. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) increased (39%) in neutrophils after the cycling stage. Exercise-induced hemolysis and lymphopenia inversely correlated with cellular markers of oxidative stress. Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) directly correlated with neutrophil MPO activity and erythrocytes MDA. Intense exercise induces oxidative damage in blood cells as erythrocytes and lymphocytes, but not in neutrophils.

Abstract
A myeloperoxidase inhibitory kaempferol derivative, namely pterogynoside (1), was isolated from fruits of Pterogyne nitens, along with six known flavonols, kaempferol, afzelin, kaempferitrin, quercetin, isoquercetrin and rutin. The structures of all compounds were elucidated primarily from 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analyses, as well as by high resolution mass spectrometry. All flavonols were screened to identify secondary metabolites as potential myeloperoxidase (MPO) inhibitors, and at concentrations of 0.50-50nM, quercetin (5), isoquercitrin (6) and rutin (7) exhibited strong inhibitory effects with IC50 values of 1.22+/-0.01, 3.75+/-0.02 and 3.60+/-0.02, respectively. The MPO activity detected for the new derivative 1 was markedly decreased (IC(50) 10.3+/-0.03) when compared with known flavonols 5-7, and interestingly increased when tested against ABTS scavenging activity.

Abstract
We studied the effects of intense exercise on the neutrophil antioxidant enzyme activities and gene expression. Blood samples were taken from seven cyclists in basal conditions and 3 h after two competition stages of 165 km. Serum creatine kinase (CK) activity, plasma carbonyl derivatives and uric acid levels increased after exercise. The cycling stage induced neutrophilia and increased myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase) decreased after exercise, although gene expression increased. Immunocytochemistry showed catalase (CAT) enzyme equally distributed between the cytoplasm and organelles before exercise, and after exercise the cytoplasmic CAT levels were reduced and were absent in the compartments. After in vitro stimulation with opsonized zymosan (OZ) the extracellular CAT levels increased. This suggests a CAT secretion in order to avoid neutrophil-induced oxidative damage at a local level or to regulate the function of ROS as extracellular signalling molecules.

Abstract
The aim was to study the effects of a scuba diving session on the lymphocyte antioxidant system, NO synthesis, the capability to produce reactive oxygen species and the antioxidant response in neutrophils. For that purpose seven male divers performed an immersion at a depth of 40 m for 25 min. The same parameters were measured after an hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment at resting conditions in a hyperbaric chamber. Lymphocyte H2O2 production rose after diving and after HBO treatment. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase activities increased after diving in lymphocytes, while after HBO exposure only increased GPx activity. Lymphocyte HO-1 mRNA expression increased after diving and after HBO exposure, while iNOS levels and nitrite levels significantly increased after diving. The hyperoxia associated to scuba diving leads to a condition of oxidative stress with increased lymphocyte H2O2 production, HO-1 expression, NO synthesis and antioxidant enzyme adaptations in order to avoid oxidative damage.

Abstract
Nicotine, an oxidizing agent, is certainly one of the most widely used alkaloids in the world. It is, together with its main metabolite, cotinine, responsible for tobacco-dependence. The use of tobacco is closely associated with lung disease, morphological leukocyte modification and generation of oxidant species. The aim of this study was to look for a possible relationship between cotinine, oxidant species generation and oxidative processes. After studying the action of cotinine in some chemical oxidation models and on the enzymatic kinetics of peroxidases (myeloperoxidase and horseradish peroxidase), we concluded that cotinine does not act directly upon H2O2, HOCl, taurine chloramines, horseradish peroxidase or myeloperoxidase.

Abstract
The balance between peroxidase and chlorinating activities of myeloperoxidase (MPO) is very important for the enhancement of antimicrobial action and prevention of damage caused by hypochlorite. In the present paper, the peroxidase and chlorinating activities have been studied at various pH values. The possibility of using neutrophil protein solution for the evaluation of MPO activity has been demonstrated. It is shown that at neutral pH MPO had higher affinity to peroxidase substrate guaiacol: at pH 7.4, chloride ions did not compete with guaiacol up to the concentration of 150 mM. At acidic pH, chlorinating activity of MPO dominates: only hypochlorite production can be detected at equal chloride and guaiacol concentrations of 15 mM. However, horseradish peroxidase does not exhibit any difference in activity in the presence of chloride ions even at acidic pH values. It was demonstrated by MALDI-TOF mass-spectrometry that the amount of hypochlorite produced is sufficient to modify phospholipids (with formation of Cl- and Br-hydrins and lyso-derivatives) only at acidic pH (5.0). Thus, in the presence of phenolic peroxidase substrate, MPO chlorinating activity can be displayed at acidic pH only. It can lead to elimination of hypochlorite production in normal tissues at neutral pH (7.4) and its enhancement in phagosomes where the pH range is 4.7-6.0.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In haemodialysis (HD) patients, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) were previously ascribed to oxidized plasma proteins, resulting mainly from increased myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity. The aim of the present study was to assess the mechanisms leading to the generation of AOPP during the course of chronic kidney disease including end-stage renal disease, with particular focus on AOPP and MPO characterization in the plasma at decreasing levels of kidney function. METHODS Phagocyte activation was evaluated by whole blood NADPH oxidase and MPO activities. In plasma, MPO protein concentration was quantified by ELISA and catalytic activity assayed by the spectrophotometric detection of phenol and 4-aminoantipyrine (AAP) co-oxidation in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). RESULTS In HD patients, plasma AOPP concentration was linked to neutrophil oxidative activity. Such an association was not found in control subjects or predialysis patients, suggesting that in the latter, AOPP generation did not mainly result from MPO released by activated neutrophils. Similarly, plasma AOPP correlated with plasma MPO protein concentration in HD patients, but not in control subjects or predialysis patients, suggesting that in the latter AOPP did not predominantly result from MPO activity. This interpretation was supported by the observation of a greater degree of co-oxidation of phenol and AAP in the absence of H(2)O(2) in predialysis patients than in HD patients or control subjects. The contribution of MPO dramatically differed between predialysis and HD patients (2+/-5 vs 46+/-6%; P<0.001). CONCLUSION Our observations suggest that AOPP generation in predialysis patients mainly results from MPO-independent oxidation mechanisms.

Abstract
Pothomorphe umbellata (L.) known on Brazil as Caapeba has a number of popular medicinal use, and it has been studied in relation to its pharmacological activity. Peroxidase specific activity (units/mg protein) was evaluated in callus cell culture samples of the P.umbellata, grown in two different MS medium (media 1 and media 2), submitted to 16 hours photoperiod or kept in darkness. Cell growth rate curve showed that the best growth indices were observed when media 2 submitted to the photoperiod regime was used, followed by the same media kept in darkness (stress condition). The results obtained also showed that the cell culture grown under stress conditions (darkness) lead to high content of peroxidase enzyme (an increase of 700% was observed). Kinetic constant values of 3.3 mmol.L-1 and 2,8 sec-1 were obtained for kM and v max,, respectively, using guaiacol as enzyme substrate.

Abstract
Repetitive episodes of hypoxia/reoxygenation induce cellular adaptations resulting in a tolerance process against oxidative stress. We studied the effects of chronic episodes of hypoxia/reoxygenation on neutrophil antioxidant defenses, neutrophil oxidative capability, and oxidative damage induced in neutrophils and plasma. Seven professional apnea divers participated in the study. Blood samples were taken under basal conditions, after a diving apnea session, and under basal conditions after five consecutive days of diving apnea sessions (basal post-diving). Chronic episodes of hypoxia/reoxygenation increased malondialdehyde (MDA), carbonyl derivates and creatine kinase (CPK) in plasma. Neutrophil catalase (CAT) levels were higher in basal post-diving. Neutrophil oxidative burst was maintained after diving, although the maximum response was delayed in basal post-diving. Neutrophil thioredoxin reductase (TR) activity increased in basal post-diving, and glutathione reductase (GR) activity was maintained. Chronic, repetitive episodes of diving apnea induce neutrophil adaptations in order to delay the oxidative burst response and to facilitate protein reduction. Diving apnea could be a good model to study tolerance to the oxidative stress generated by hypoxia/ reoxygenation.

Abstract
Oxidative stress induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation mediates the pathophysiological consequence of ischemia/reperfusion and human diseases. Diving apnea could be a good model of oxidative stress induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation. We studied the influence of vitamin C diet supplementation on the response of neutrophil antioxidant defenses, NO production, and redox status to diving apnea. Seven professional apnea divers participated in a double-blind cross study. Divers were assigned to either vitamin C-supplemented (1 g/d for a week) or placebo groups. Blood samples were taken under basal conditions, immediately after diving apnea for 4 h and after 1 h of recovery. Plasma vitamin C increased only in the supplemented group after diving and was maintained high in recovery. Diving apnea decreased neutrophil GSH/GSSG ratio in both groups, but maintained protein carbonyl derivates. Neutrophil catalase activity and levels and glutathione peroxidase activity were lower in the supplemented group than in the placebo group after diving. iNOS and nitrite levels decreased only in the supplemented group after diving and recovery. Diving apnea induced oxidative stress and initiated neutrophil reactions that resemble the acute-phase immune response with increased myeloperoxidase activity in neutrophils. Diet supplementation with vitamin C reduced neutrophil iNOS levels and NO production.

Abstract
The potential role of estrogens in the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still under debate. Previous studies from our laboratory have shown that estradiol may act as a pro oxidant at physiological concentrations, enhancing peroxidase-mediated oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL). In the present study, we show that physiological concentrations of estradiol enhance fMLP-mediated neutrophil degranulation and oxidative stress markers. For example, 10 nM estradiol increased myeloperoxidase (MPO), elastase, and superoxide release by 19.9 +/- 9.6% (p = 0.006), 16.3 +/- 5.2% (p = 0.09), and 36.1 +/- 19.5% (p = 0.05), respectively. The enhancement of neutrophil degranulation by estradiol resulted in an increase in the formation of LDL oxidation markers such as conjugated dienes and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (20.7 +/- 7.2%, p = 0.04). Thus, estradiol can act as a pro oxidant, promoting neutrophil degranulation as well as reacting with MPO to enhance the oxidation of LDL. This mechanism supports our hypothesis that oxidative stress may be beneficial towards the prevention of CVD both by promoting plasma oxidation of LDL, with its subsequent clearance by the liver, as well as by inducing a threshold antioxidant defense in the arteries. Our study also suggests that estradiol by promoting oxidation in the plasma is beneficial in preventing CVD.

Abstract
We previously described the presence of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), a novel marker of oxidative stress in the plasma of hemodialyzed patients (HD). The present study was carried out to further investigate how myeloperoxidase (MPO)-catalyzed reactions could contribute to AOPP generation in the plasma. First, patterns of plasma protein oxidation obtained after in vitro incubation of control plasma with hypochlorous acid (HOCl) were compared to those from HD patients and control plasma. The use of various analytical techniques enabled localising and identifying the main oxidized proteins with albumin (HSA) after protein separation by size-exclusion chromatography and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The characterization of the oxidation level of the individual plasma proteins in terms of carbonyl groups and 3-nitrotyrosine formations was performed by immunoblotting. Secondly, to highlight the significance of AOPP index monitored by spectrophotometry, spectra were established for plasma fractions from HD patients and compared to data for control plasma and HOCl-treated plasma. The corresponding absorbance difference spectra were matched with external standards such as dityrosine, nitrotyrosine and pentosidine and elaborated chromophoric probe models. Indeed, HSA was chlorinated by HOCl reagent or HOCl generated via the MPO/H(2)O(2)/Cl(-) system and was nitrated by tetranitromethane. Increased absorbances at the range of 340 nm were observed both with chlorinated and nitrated HSA. Finally, our results indicate that HOCl, and not NO(2)(*), generated via MPO activity, could represent one of the pathways for AOPP production in plasma proteins exposed to activated phagocytes.

Abstract
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a highly reactive product generated by the myeloperoxidase reaction during the oxidative burst of activated neutrophils, which is implicated in many bactericidal and cytotoxic responses. Recent evidence suggests that HOCl may also play a role in the modulation of redox sensitive signaling pathways. The short half-life of HOCl and the requirement for a continuous presence of H2O2 as a substrate for its myeloperoxidase-catalyzed generation make the study of HOCl-mediated responses very difficult. We describe here an enzymatic model consisting of glucose/glucose oxidase, catalase, and myeloperoxidase (GOX/CAT/MPO) that allows the controlled generation of both HOCl and H2O2 and thus, mimics the oxidative burst of activated neutrophils. By employing this model we show that HOCl prevents the H2O2-mediated activation of iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1), a central post-transcriptional regulator of mammalian iron metabolism. Activated IRP1 binds to (R)iron-responsive elements" (IREs) within the mRNAs encoding proteins of iron metabolism and thereby controls their translation or stability. The inhibitory effect of HOCl is not a result of a direct modification of IRP1 by this oxidant. Kinetics experiments provide evidence that HOCl intervenes with the signaling cascade, which results in the activation of IRP1. We further demonstrate that HOCl antagonizes the H2O2-mediated increase in the levels of transferrin receptor, which is a downstream target of IRP1. Our findings suggest that HOCl can modulate signaling pathways in a concerted action with H2O2. The GOX/CAT/MPO system provides a valuable tool for studying the regulatory function of HOCl.
