Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most frequent histological finding in individuals with abnormal liver-function tests in the Western countries. In previous studies, we have shown that oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is decreased in individuals with NAFLD, but the cause of this mitochondrial dysfunction remains uncertain. The aims of this study were to determine whether feeding mice a high-fat diet (HFD) induces any change in the activity of OXPHOS, and to investigate the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of this defect. To that end, 30 mice were distributed between five groups: control mice fed a standard diet, and mice on a HFD and treated with saline solution, melatonin (an antioxidant), MnTBAP (a superoxide dismutase analog) or uric acid (a scavenger of peroxynitrite) for 28 weeks intraperitoneously. In the liver of these mice, we studied histology, activity and assembly of OXPHOS complexes, levels of subunits of these complexes, gene expression of these subunits, oxidative and nitrosative stress, and oxidative DNA damage. In HFD-fed mice, we found nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, increased gene expression of TNFα, IFNγ, MCP-1, caspase-3, TGFβ1 and collagen α1(I), and increased levels of 3-tyrosine nitrated proteins. The activity and assembly of all OXPHOS complexes was decreased to about 50–60%. The amount of all studied OXPHOS subunits was markedly decreased, particularly the mitochondrial-DNA-encoded subunits. Gene expression of mitochondrial-DNA-encoded subunits was decreased to about 60% of control. There was oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA but not to genomic DNA. Treatment of HFD-fed mice with melatonin, MnTBAP or uric acid prevented all changes observed in untreated HFD-fed mice. We conclude that a HFD decreased OXPHOS enzymatic activity owing to a decreased amount of fully assembled complexes caused by a reduced synthesis of their subunits. Antioxidants and antiperoxynitrites prevented all of these changes, suggesting that nitro-oxidative stress played a key role in the pathogenesis of these alterations. Treatment with these agents might prevent the development of NAFLD in humans.

Abstract
In previous studies, we have shown that mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) activity is decreased in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and in ob/ob mice and that peroxynitrite plays a pathogenic role. The present study examined whether melatonin, a peroxynitrite scavenger, prevents: (i) the in vitro effects of peroxynitrite on normal mitochondrial proteins and (ii) the development of nonalcoholic liver disease, MRC dysfunction and proteomic changes found in the mitochondrial complexes from ob/ob mice. We studied MRC activity, assembly of mitochondrial complexes and its subunits in normal mitochondrial proteins exposed to peroxynitrite in the absence and presence of melatonin. The same studies were done in mitochondrial proteins from ob/ob mice untreated and treated with melatonin. Preincubation of mitochondrial proteins from wild-type mice with melatonin prevented 3-tyrosine nitration of these proteins, eliminated the reduction in the MRC activity, the defect in the assembly of mitochondrial complexes and degradation of their subunits induced by peroxynitrite in vitro. Moreover, treatment of ob/ob mice with 10 mg/kg/day melatonin for 12 wk reduced oxidative and nitrosative stress, prevented the loss of MRC activity, protected their complexes and subunits from degradation, and favored assembling of mitochondrial complexes. In addition, this treatment improved fatty liver, decreased hepatic triglyceride concentration and increased apolipoprotein B100 in liver tissue. In conclusion, melatonin prevents the effects of peroxynitrite on mitochondrial proteins in vitro and administration of melatonin to ob/ob mice normalizes liver morphology, mitochondrial dysfunction and assembly of MRC complexes.

Abstract
Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of aging and many metabolic diseases; therefore, an effective antioxidant therapy would be of great importance in these circumstances. Nutritional, environmental, and chemical factors can induce the overproduction of the superoxide anion radical in both the cytosol and mitochondria. This is the first and key event that leads to the activation of pathways involved in the development of several metabolic diseases that are related to oxidative stress. As oxidation of essential molecules continues, it turns to nitrooxidative stress because of the involvement of nitric oxide in pathogenic processes. Once peroxynitrite forms, it damages via two distinctive mechanisms. First, it has direct toxic effects leading to lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and DNA damage. This mechanism involves the induction of several transcription factors leading to cytokine-induced chronic inflammation. Classic antioxidants, including vitamins A, C, and E, have often failed to exhibit beneficial effects in metabolic diseases and aging. Melatonin is a multifunctional indolamine that counteracts virtually all pathophysiologic steps and displays significant beneficial actions against peroxynitrite-induced cellular toxicity. This protection is related to melatonin's antioxidative and antiinflammatory properties. Melatonin has the capability of scavenging both oxygen- and nitrogen-based reactants, including those formed from peroxynitrite, and blocking transcriptional factors, which induce proinflammatory cytokines. Accumulating evidence suggests that this nontoxic indolamine may be useful either as a sole treatment or in conjunction with other treatments for inhibiting the biohazardous actions of nitrooxidative stress.

Abstract
The term "reactive nitrogen species" includes nitrogen monoxide, commonly called nitric oxide, and some other remarkable chemical entities (peroxynitrite, nitrosoperoxycarbonate, etc.) formed mostly from nitrogen monoxide itself in biological environments. Regardless of the specific mechanisms implicated in their effects, however, it is clear that an integrated pharmacological approach to peroxynitrite and related species is only just beginning to take shape. The array of affected chemical and pathological processes is extremely broad. One of the most conspicuous mechanisms observed thus far has been the scavenging of the peroxynitrite anion by molecules endowed with antioxidant activity. This discovery has in turn lent great significance to several naturally occurring and synthetic antioxidants, which usually protect not only against oxidative reactions, but also from nitrating ones, both in vitro and in vivo. This has proven to be beneficial in different tissues, especially within the central nervous system. Taking these results and those of other biochemical investigations into account, many research lines are currently in progress to establish the true potential of reactive nitrogen species deactivators in the therapy of neurological diseases, ischemia-reperfusion damage, renal failure, and lung injury, among others.

Abstract
Melatonin is a product of the amino acid tryptophan in the pineal gland. Once synthesized, the specific mechanisms governing the release of melatonin from the pineal gland and its functions are largely unknown. Besides its regulatory role in circadian rhythms in mammals, because of its widespread subcellular distribution, melatonin contributes to the reduction of oxidative damage in both the lipid and the aqueous environments of the cell. This postulate is widely supported by the experimental observations showing that melatonin protects lipids in membranes, proteins in the cytosol, and DNA in the nucleus and mitochondria from free radical damage. Melatonin thus reduces the severity of disease conditions where free radicals are implicated. The direct free radical scavenging effects of melatonin are receptor independent. It has recently been shown that it has an ability to scavenge free radicals, including hydroxyl radicals, hydrogen peroxide, peroxyl radicals, singlet oxygen and nitric oxide (NO) and peroxynitrite anion. An excessive amount of NO, a free radical which is generated by the inducible form of NO synthase, is known to cause cytotoxic changes in cells. Hence, NO synthase is considered a pro-oxidative enzyme, and any factor that reduces its activity would be considered an antioxidant. Recent studies have shown that melatonin inhibits the activity of NO synthase, beside its NO and peroxynitrite scavenging activity. Thus, inhibition of NO production may be another means whereby melatonin reduces oxidative damage under conditions, such as ischemia-reperfusion, sepsis, etc, where NO seems to be important in terms of the resulting damage.
