Abstract
Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) based nanozymes with clear structure are beneficial for exploration of structural-performance and exhibit broad prospects in improving activity. In this study, the prepared bimetallic Fe3Ni-MOF nanozyme was superior to single metal MOF in the peroxidase-like activity. Subsequently, a derivative nanozyme (Fe3Ni-MOF-Ar) was prepared by pyrolysis using Fe3Ni-MOF as the precursor in argon atomoshere with controlled temperature. The investigated of Fe3Ni-MOF-Ar revealed that the irregular macroporous state and the presence of heterovalent FeIII/FeII sites of Fe3Ni-MOF-Ar enable the retention, exposure, and electronic structure regulation of active sites, promoting the dual mechanism (the generation of •OH and electron transfer mechanism) and significantly increasing the peroxidase-like activity. Fe3Ni-MOF-Ar exhibited a strong affinity for substrate H2O2, which is higher than horseradish peroxidase. Ascorbic acid and cysteine are typical substances of antioxidants. Fe3Ni-MOF-Ar was used for sensitive colorimetric detection of ascorbic acid and cysteine, and the detection limit was as low as 150 and 60 nM. In addition, the smartphone devices was used to detection of antioxidant equivalent ascorbic acid, with a detection range of 0.5-120 μM. Fe3Ni-MOF-Ar nanozyme is feasible for sensitive detection of saliva total antioxidant capacity.

Pilot study indicates that a gluten-free diet lowers oxidative stress for gluten-sensitive persons with schizophrenia. Schizophr Res 2024; 269:71-78. [PMID: 38749320 PMCID: PMC11215979 DOI: 10.1016/j.schres.2024.05.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
One-third of people with schizophrenia have elevated levels of anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA IgG). A 5-week randomized double-blind pilot study was performed in 2014-2017 in an inpatient setting to test the effect of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on participants with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who also had elevated AGA IgG (≥ 20 U) but were negative for celiac disease. This earlier pilot study reported that the GFD-group showed improved gastrointestinal and psychiatric symptoms, and also improvements in TNF-α and the inflammatory cytokine IL-23. Here, we performed measurements of these banked plasma samples to detect levels of oxidative stress (OxSt) using a recently developed iridium (Ir)-reducing capacity assay. Triplicate measurements of these samples showed an Intraclass Correlation Coefficient of 0.84 which indicates good reproducibility. Further, a comparison of the OxSt measurements at the baseline and 5-week end-point for this small sample size shows that the GFD-group (N = 7) had lowered OxSt levels compared to the gluten-containing diet group (GCD; N = 9; p = 0.05). Finally, we showed that improvements in OxSt over these 5 weeks were correlated to improvements in gastrointestinal (r = +0.64, p = 0.0073) and psychiatric (r = +0.52, p = 0.039) symptoms. Also, we showed a possible association between the decrease in OxSt and the lowered levels of IL-23 (r = +0.44, p = 0.087), although without statistical significance. Thus, the Ir-reducing capacity assay provides a simple, objective measure of OxSt with the results providing further evidence that inflammation, redox dysregulation and OxSt may mediate interactions between the gut and brain.

Opioid Therapy and Implications for Oxidative Balance: A Clinical Study of Total Oxidative Capacity (TOC) and Total Antioxidative Capacity (TAC). J Clin Med 2023; 13:82. [PMID: 38202088 PMCID: PMC10779948 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13010082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Opioids are used in pharmacotherapy for chronic pain. The phenomenon of their influence on the oxidative-antioxidant balance is poorly understood. Additionally, little is known about the oxidative status in patients receiving chronic opioid noncancer pain therapy. METHODS The primary goal was to explore oxidative status using the total oxidative capacity (TOC) and total antioxidative capacity (TAC) in patients with chronic lower back pain (LBP) treated with opioids. The secondary task was to present the risk factors connected with the duration of therapy or anthropometric parameters. Plasma TOC and TAC were analyzed in the study group (n = 28), i.e., patients with chronic LBP treated with opioids, and in the control group (n = 11), i.e., healthy volunteers. RESULTS The TAC was significantly lower in the study group compared to the control group (p < 0.05), while the TOC did not differ significantly. A statistically lower TOC for buprenorphine compared to oxycodone (p = 0.019) and tramadol (p = 0.036) was observed. The TOC did not differ between tramadol and oxycodone. The highest TAC was described for oxycodone, while the TAC for buprenorphine and tramadol was significantly lower in comparison with oxycodone (p = 0.007 and p = 0.016). The TOC/TAC ratio was higher in patients with nicotinism in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Patients receiving chronic opioid therapy presented a lower antioxidative capacity. There were differences in opioid-induced oxidative imbalance, which is very important clinically. Nicotinism increases the oxidative-antioxidative imbalance. The least oxidative capacity was associated with buprenorphine, while oxycodone showed the greatest antioxidant activity. The most favorable TOC/TAC ratio was observed for buprenorphine. It is suggested that buprenorphine or oxycodone has the best profile, and there is no correlation with the duration of opioid therapy or the opioid dose. However, all opioid substances can potentially enhance the oxidative-antioxidative status.

Abstract
Exposure to pesticides has been linked to an elevated risk of leukemia. The present research aimed to evaluate the relationship between organochlorine (OC) pesticides and biomarkers of oxidative stress in leukemia patients. This work was conducted on 109 patients with leukemia and 109 healthy controls. The serum concentrations of seven derivatives of OCs including alpha-HCH, beta-HCH, gamma-HCH, 2,4-DDT, 4,4-DDT, 2,4-DDE, and 4,4-DDE along with acetylcholinesterase (AChE), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), paraoxonase-1 (PON1), and catalase (CAT) activities as well as total antioxidant capacity (TAC), nitric oxide (NO), protein carbonyl (PC), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured in all the subjects. Levels of OCs were remarkably higher in leukemia patients compared to the controls (p < 0.05). In addition, levels of SOD, AChE, GPx, PON-1, and TAC were remarkably lower in leukemia patients compared to controls (p < 0.05). In contrast, MDA, NO, and PC concentrations were higher in leukemia patients than in the controls (p < 0.05). Moreover, the serum level of 4,4-DDE was negatively associated with GPx activity (p = 0.038). Our findings suggest that OCs may play a role in the development of leukemia by disrupting the oxidant/antioxidant balance.

Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and zinc sulphate on di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP)-induced testicular oxido-nitrergic stress in rats was investigated in 36 male Wistar rats (170 ± 10 g) randomly assigned into one of six groups (n = 6). Group 1 (control) received 2.5 ml/kg of distilled water for 42 days, while group 2 (vehicle) received 2.5 ml/kg of corn oil for 42 days. Groups 3,4,5, and 6 were administered DEHP (750 mg/kg/day) for 21 days, after which groups 4, 5, and 6 received zinc sulphate (0.5 mg/kg/day), NAC (100 mg/kg/day), and zinc sulphate (0.5 mg/kg/day) + NAC (100 mg/kg/day) for an additional 21 days respectively. After the experimental period, the animals were euthanized by light thiopental sodium, and their testes were carefully dissected out for histological and biochemical assays. The result shows a significant alteration in testicular levels of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, antioxidant enzymes, total antioxidant capacity, sulphydryl levels, dehydrogenases and testicular architecture following the administration of DEHP. These effects were reversed by coadministration of NAC and zinc sulphate in the study. We therefore concluded that the combined effects of NAC and ZnSO4 effectively improved testicular antioxidant status and reduced testicular nitregic stress, thus improving testicular architecture and functions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress (OS) has a role in the pathogenesis and progression of multiple sclerosis. The effects of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) on OS are unclear. We aimed to explore the association between DMTs and OS in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). METHODS The study conducted in 167 patients (102 received and 65 not received the DMTs). The DMTs included interferon beta-1a (n = 15), interferon beta-1b (n = 20), glatiramer acetate (n = 10), and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulators (n = 57). Oxidative stress assessed by total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) (determined by spectrophotometric method), oxidative index (OSI was calculated), and urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG/creatinine was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry). Patients were classified by Multiple Sclerosis Severity Score (MSSS) to mild/moderate (MSSS, <6.7) and severe (MSSS, >6.7). RESULTS Disease-modifying therapies are associated with increased TAS, decreased TOS, OSI, and 8-oxodG/creatinine. Regardless of therapy, women had a less favorable redox status (lower TAS, higher TOS and OSI). Patients with MSSS>6.7 and without DMTs had higher OSI than patients who received DMTs. Women with MSSS>6.7 without DMTs had lower TAS than women with DMTs, whereas in the same stage of MS, men without DMTs had higher TOS than patients with DMTs. Women with MSSS<6.7 and with DMTs had lower 8-oxodG/creatinine compared with those without DMT therapy. CONCLUSIONS The antioxidant effects of DMTs were evidenced in this study. The gender-related effects of DMTs on the OS imply the personalized antioxidant pharmacotherapy, especially for the women. The OS biomarkers have a potential as the prognostic for the assessment of DMTs outcomes in patients with RRMS.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to assess the relationship between the preoperative reactive oxygen species and free ferrous protoporphyrin (ROS and FH) combined test and the risk of recurrence in a pathologically confirmed non-muscular invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. Patients and Methods The retrospective study included 218 patients, newly diagnosed with NMIBC between January 2019 and February 2022. According to the results of FH and ROS combined test of voided urine, all patients were classified as FH(-)/ROS(-), FH(+)/ROS(-), or FH(+) /ROS(+). We reviewed demographic information, pathological results, and the FH and ROS combined test status. The clinicopathological characteristics were evaluated, and the survival rates of each group were compared. Finally, we also analyzed the association between preoperative free ferrous protoporphyrin and reactive oxygen species status and the tumor stage and grade. Results This study included 218 NMIBC patients with a median age of 68 years (interquartile range [IQR] 60–76 years). The number and proportion of patients in FH(-)/ROS(-), FH(+)/ROS(-) and FH(+) /ROS(+) were 95(43.6%), 79(36.2%) and 44(20.2%), respectively. And the pathological stages for those with FH(+) and ROS(+), FH(+) and ROS(-), FH(-) and ROS(-) at diagnosis were 0.5% Tis, 6.4% Ta, 13.3% T1; 2.3% Tis, 20.6% Ta, 13.3% T1; 5.5% Tis, 28.9% Ta, 9.2% T1, respectively. After adjusting for clinical factors, including tumor grade, tumor stage and FH/ROS status were independent risk factors for RFS In the multivariate Cox regression analysis. Through logistics regression analysis, FH(+)/ROS(+) were found to be corelated with high grade and more high stage (T1). Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that 1-year RFS of FH(+)/ROS(+), FH(+)/ROS(-) and FH(-)/ROS(-) were 46.0%, 87.8% and 93.4%, respectively (P=0.000). Conclusion In newly diagnosed NMIBC patients, the status of FH(+)/ROS(+) has an association with a higher risk in recurrence. Furthermore, FH(+)/ROS(+) at diagnosis was correlated with high grade and higher stage (T1). Hence, the FH/ROS combined test can help specify treatment options for patients diagnosed with NMIBC.

Abstract
Patients with sepsis have a wide range of respiratory disorders that can be treated with oxygen therapy. Experimental data in animal sepsis models show that oxygen therapy significantly increases survival, while clinical data on the use of different oxygen therapy protocols are ambiguous. Oxygen therapy, especially hyperbaric oxygenation, in patients with sepsis can aggravate existing oxidative stress and contribute to the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation. The purpose of this article is to compare experimental and clinical data on oxygen therapy in animals and humans, to discuss factors that can influence the results of oxygen therapy for sepsis treatment in humans, and to provide some recommendations for reducing oxidative stress and preventing disseminated intravascular coagulation during oxygen therapy.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a global health problem in which the prevalence is increasing over periods. This disease is a significant cause of disorders in the upper gastrointestinal tract with very complex pathogenesis. Oxidative stress (OS) due to gastric acid reflux plays a role in the inflammatory response of the esophageal epithelium. Several OS markers have been widely studied and are thought to affect the severity degree of the esophageal mucosa. However, there has been no research on total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), and OS index (OSI) in the adult with GERD; hence the aim of this review was to determine the association between TOS, serum TAS, and OSI with the GERD degree. A literature review was conducted by searching articles related to the TOS, TAS, OSI, and its correlation with GERD degree on an online database, particularly Pubmed and Google scholar. We conclude that TAS and OSI might influence the severity of GERD; however, further clinical study is needed to prove this theory.

Effect of propolis supplementation on athletic performance, body composition, inflammation, and oxidative stress following intense exercise: A triple-blind randomized clinical trial. Food Sci Nutr 2021; 9:3631-3640. [PMID: 34262723 PMCID: PMC8269685 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.2319] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2020] [Revised: 04/17/2021] [Accepted: 04/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Emerging evidence indicates that propolis as a novel potential antioxidant has unique benefits. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of propolis on oxidative stress, inflammation, body composition, and athletic performance in healthy active subjects. METHODS This clinical trial was conducted on 54 male military cadets. Eligible subjects were randomly allocated to receive a single dose of 450 mg propolis twice daily for four weeks or a matching placebo containing microcrystalline cellulose. Cooper 12-min run test and running-based anaerobic sprint test were performed to measure aerobic and anaerobic performance. Blood samples were obtained immediately after Cooper's test to evaluate oxidative stress and inflammation status. Fat mass and fat-free mass were analyzed using bioelectrical impedance. RESULTS Mean changes in fat mass, fat-free mass, anaerobic powers, fatigue index, and VO2 max did not differ significantly between the two groups after the adjustment for baseline values (P-value>0.05). A significant change was observed in plasma levels of IL-6 (-1.43 ± 0.11pg/mL), total oxidant status (-3.9 ± 0.2µmol/L), total antioxidant capacity (164 ± 12 µmol/L), malondialdehyde (-0.52 ± 0.03µmol/L), oxidative stress index (-0.45 ± 0.04), and glutathione (48.72±2µmol/L) in the propolis group compared with the placebo group after the adjustment for baseline values and weight changes (P-value<0.05). Although IL-10 concentrations had no significant changes in both groups, the ratio of IL-6/IL-10 significantly reduced in the propolis group compared with the placebo group (-0.174 ± 0.015 versus. 0.051 ± 0.014; P-value: 0.041). CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that propolis might have beneficial effects on oxidative stress and inflammation following intense activities in healthy male subjects.

Abstract
Corneal endothelial decompensation is a serious condition that frequently requires treatment via corneal transplantation which contributes to a global shortage in donor corneas. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of aqueous humor total antioxidant capacity (TAC) on corneal endothelial health. There is an urgent need for discovering protective factors to combat corneal endothelial cell (CEC) loss. For methods, we developed a cupric ion-based TAC (CuTAC) assay to analyze TAC level in a small volume of aqueous humor, that is, 10 μL per test, and examined the influences of ascorbic acid (AA) and antioxidant proteins on aqueous humor TAC. To broaden the investigation, we conducted a case-control study with patients classified into two groups, an insufficient endothelial cell density (ECD < 2100 cells/mm2) group, and a control group. These groups were formed based on baseline ECD values and were used to evaluate the influence of aqueous humor TAC and AA on overall corneal endothelial health. A CuTAC assay was used to accurately measure aqueous humor TAC without the need for sample dilution. After analyzing a total of 164 human aqueous humor samples, we found that AA was the major contributor to aqueous humor TAC (73.2%). In addition, TAC and AA levels in the IECD and control groups were both found to be significantly different (1.168 vs. 1.592 mM, p = 0.009 and 0.856 vs. 1.178 mM, p = 0.016). TAC and AA were considered independent protective factors against IECD with adjusted odds ratios of 0.02 (p = 0.017) and 0.023 (p = 0.033), respectively. In conclusion, aqueous humor TAC and AA contribute to the maintenance of sufficient corneal ECD, and our CuTAC assay can be a useful tool for analyzing TAC using only a small aqueous humor sample volume.

Effects of three months of treatment with vitamin E and N-acetyl cysteine on the oxidative balance in patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia. Ann Hematol 2020; 100:635-644. [PMID: 33216196 DOI: 10.1007/s00277-020-04346-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
Oxidative stress is a major mechanism contributing to the progression of β-thalassemia. To assess the effect of vitamin E and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) as antioxidant agents on total oxidative stress (TOS) status and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT). In this open-label randomized controlled trial, from May to August 2019, 78 eligible patients with TDT over the age of 18 were enrolled. All patients were registered at the Thalassemia Clinic of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in Southern Iran. Patients were randomly allocated to the NAC group (10 mg/kg/day, orally), vitamin E group (10 U/kg/day, orally), and control group. The duration of the study was 3 months. The mean age of the participants was 28.5 ± 5.1 (range: 18-41) years. At the end of the study, TOS significantly decreased only in the vitamin E group (mean difference (MD), 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.27 (0.03-0.50), P = 0.026). TAC significantly decreased in both supplemented groups at the 3rd month of treatment (NAC group: MD (95% CI): 0.11 (0.04-0.18), P = 0.002 and vitamin E group: 0.09 (0.01-0.16), P = 0.022 respectively). Hemoglobin did not significantly change at the end of the study in each group (P > 0.05). Mild transient adverse events occurred in 4 patients of the NAC group and 5 patients of the vitamin E group with no need to discontinue the treatment. Vitamin E can be a safe and effective supplement in improving oxidative stress in patients with TDT. Moreover, it seems that a longer duration of using antioxidant supplements needs to make clinical hematologic improvement in TDT patients.

Redox phospholipidomics of enzymatically generated oxygenated phospholipids as specific signals of programmed cell death. Free Radic Biol Med 2020; 147:231-241.

Abstract
High fidelity and effective adaptive changes of the cell and tissue metabolism to changing environments require strict coordination of numerous biological processes. Multicellular organisms developed sophisticated signaling systems of monitoring and responding to these different contexts. Among these systems, oxygenated lipids play a significant role realized via a variety of re-programming mechanisms. Some of them are enacted as a part of pro-survival pathways that eliminate harmful or unnecessary molecules or organelles by a variety of degradation/hydrolytic reactions or specialized autophageal processes. When these "partial" intracellular measures are insufficient, the programs of cells death are triggered with the aim to remove irreparably damaged members of the multicellular community. These regulated cell death mechanisms are believed to heavily rely on signaling by a highly diversified group of molecules, oxygenated phospholipids (PLox). Out of thousands of detectable individual PLox species, redox phospholipidomics deciphered several specific molecules that seem to be diagnostic of specialized death programs. Oxygenated cardiolipins (CLs) and phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) have been identified as predictive biomarkers of apoptosis and ferroptosis, respectively. This has led to decoding of the enzymatic mechanisms of their formation involving mitochondrial oxidation of CLs by cytochrome c and endoplasmic reticulum-associated oxidation of PE by lipoxygenases. Understanding of the specific biochemical radical-mediated mechanisms of these oxidative reactions opens new avenues for the design and search of highly specific regulators of cell death programs. This review emphasizes the usefulness of such selective lipid peroxidation mechanisms in contrast to the concept of random poorly controlled free radical reactions as instruments of non-specific damage of cells and their membranes. Detailed analysis of two specific examples of phospholipid oxidative signaling in apoptosis and ferroptosis along with their molecular mechanisms and roles in reprogramming has been presented.

Oxidative Stress Indexes for Diagnosis of Health or Disease in Humans. OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2019; 2019:4128152. [PMID: 31885788 PMCID: PMC6899293 DOI: 10.1155/2019/4128152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 62] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2019] [Revised: 10/11/2019] [Accepted: 10/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) is the imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant molecules, in favor of oxidants, that causes aging and disease. Many studies have been published that demonstrate the relationship between OS and human health and disease; however, the following questions arise: (i) how are we sure that the OS is present in a biological process? (ii) Is the OS reported in the different investigations equivalent? (iii) What are the best oxidant and antioxidant markers for OS diagnosis? (iv) Can we establish the types and the intensity of the OS? (v) Does OS index could be useful for research and/or application in clinical medicine? In this regard, several indexes have been proposed to measure OS in humans relative to the state of health and disease, among which the following can be highlighted: Oxidative Stress Index (OSI), Tiol Ratios (-SH/TT, -SS/-SH, and-SS/TT), Glutathione Ratio (GSSG/GSH), Oxidative Stress Score (OSS), and OXY-index. Therefore, the aim of this review is to present the state of the art of knowledge about OS indexes for diagnosis of health or disease in humans. We searched for articles in English or Spanish in the PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus electronic databases published up until May 2019. The keywords used were “oxidative stress,” “index,” and “oxidative stress index.” It was identified 11479 records in both databases, and 490 articles were analyzed. Our review suggests that all indexes analyzed allow diagnose and differentiate the OS related to human health and disease. Also, the studies on OSI, Oxy-score, and OSS indexes have proven to be reliable, practical, and with clinical utility. However, it is necessary to continue with longitudinal studies, especially assess the usefulness of the indexes in the clinical prognosis, and make comparative studies between the different indexes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study investigated overall adverse event (AE) burden and specifically psychiatric and behavioral side effects (PBAEs) in persons with epilepsy (PWE) on antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) monotherapy. It also assessed their correlation with neuroendocrine and oxidative stress biomarkers. METHODS This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital between 2016 and 2018. Persons with epilepsy above 18 years on monotherapy of levetiracetam (LEV) and conventional AEDs {carbamazepine (CBZ), phenytoin (PHT), or valproate (VPA)} for at least 6 months were enrolled. Validated questionnaires, 'Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI 7.02)', 'Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21)', 'Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ)', 'patient-weighted Quality of life Index in Epilepsy (QOLIE-10)', 'Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)', and 'Liverpool Adverse Events Profile (LAEP)' were used to assess the PBAEs, quality of life, sleep quality, and AE profile. A subgroup of PWE recruited consecutively were considered for estimation of the following neuroendocrine biomarker levels: brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) which were then correlated with scores of above questionnaires. RESULTS After screening 220 PWE, 163 PWE (58 on LEV and 105 on conventional AEDs) with a mean age of 29 ± 10 years were enrolled. Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview revealed that LEV group had higher association with PBAEs and lower quality of sleep compared to conventional AEDs (p = 0.032 and 0.046, respectively). Other scales did not show significant difference between LEV and conventional AEDs. In the subset of PWE (n = 74, 36 on LEV and 38 on conventional AEDs), LEV group had more association with the PBAEs (p = 0.010), higher physical aggression and anger components of BPAQ (p = 0.03 and 0.02, respectively), and more AE (p = 0.049) than conventional AED group. However, there was no significant difference in neuroendocrine biomarker levels. CONCLUSION Levetiracetam had a higher association with PBAEs and more AE when compared to conventional AEDs. There was no differential correlation of AEDs with the following neuroendocrine markers: BDNF, HVA, 5-HIAA, and TAC. These facts necessitate exploration of other mechanisms for LEV-induced PBAEs.

Abstract
Many epilepsies are acquired conditions following an insult to the brain such as a prolonged seizure, traumatic brain injury or stroke. The generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induction of oxidative stress are common sequelae of such brain insults and have been shown to contribute to neuronal death and the development of epilepsy. Here, we show that combination therapy targeting the generation of ROS through NADPH oxidase inhibition and the endogenous antioxidant system through nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activation prevents excessive ROS accumulation, mitochondrial depolarisation and neuronal death during in vitro seizure-like activity. Moreover, this combination therapy prevented the development of spontaneous seizures in 40% of animals following status epilepticus (70% of animals were seizure free after 8 weeks) and modified the severity of epilepsy when given to chronic epileptic animals. Combination antioxidant therapy during seizure activity is neuroprotective. Antioxidant therapy can prevent the development of epilepsy. Chronic epilepsy can be modified by antioxidant therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of a 28-day exposure to a 50 Hz electromagnetic field of 10 kV/m on the oxidative stress in selected rat central nervous system (CNS) structures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty male Wistar rats served as experimental subjects. Ten rats were exposed to an electromagnetic field with a frequency of 50 Hz, intensity of 10 kV/m, and magnetic induction of 4.3 pT for 22 hours a day. The control group of ten rats was subject to sham exposure. Homogenates of the frontal cortex, hippocampus, brainstem, hypothalamus, striatum, and cerebellum were evaluated for selected parameters of oxidative stress. RESULTS Following the four-week exposure to a low-frequency electromagnetic field, the mean malondialdehyde levels and total oxidant status of CNS structures did not differ significantly between the experimental and control groups. However, the activities of antioxidant enzymes in brain structure homogenates were decreased except for frontal cortex catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and hippocampal glutathione reductase. The low-frequency electromagnetic field had no effect on the nonenzymatic antioxidant system of the examined brain structures except for the frontal cortex. CONCLUSION The four-week exposure of male rats to a low-frequency electromagnetic field did not affect oxidative stress in the investigated brain structures.

Abstract
CeO2 nanoparticles (CNPs) as effective ROS scavengers exhibit potent antioxidant activity. In this study the effect of CNPs investigated was on HO-1, NQO1, and GCLC expression in the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: controls did not receive any treatment; diabetic rats received STZ (60 mg/kg daily); CNPs group received CNPs 30 mg/kg daily for 2 weeks; and rats in STZ + CNPs group received CNPs 30 mg/kg daily for 2 weeks following STZ injection. Oxidative stress was evaluated by measurement of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total oxidative status (TOS levels). HO-1, NQO1, and GCLC expression was measured using quantitative real-time PCR. Following STZ injection, significant lower levels of TAC and higher levels of TOS were observed. CNPs could alleviate deleterious effects of diabetes through the enhancement of TAC levels and a significant decline in TOS levels. HO-1, NQO1, and GCLC expression in the diabetic rats were lower than controls. HO-1, NQO1, and GCLC was upregulated in the diabetic rats treated with CNPs. There were significant correlations between NQO1 and GCLC, NQO1 and HO-1, and between HO-1 and GCLC expression. Moreover, Nrf2 was associated with NQO1, GCLC, and HO-1 expression. CNPs as Nrf2 upregulator confer protection against oxidative stress in the testes of STZ-induced diabetic rats by upregulating HO-1, GCLC, and NQO1 cytoprotective genes.

[PMID: 28458777 PMCID: PMC5387840 DOI: 10.1155/2017/6578453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2016] [Accepted: 02/22/2017] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
Objectives. To discuss the characteristics of the amount of urinary total antioxidants in tumor diseases and the possibility of utilizing the changing regulation of urinary antioxidants to diagnose tumor diseases. Method. Urine and serum specimens from 130 healthy people were used to investigate the variation of antioxidant capacity against age. Urine and serum specimens from 44 unselected patients with tumors and 44 healthy people with same age background were used to explore the significance of urinary antioxidant capacity in clinic to diagnose tumor diseases. Potassium permanganate agar method and iodine starch method were used to determine the amount of total antioxidants. Results. In healthy people, more antioxidants in urine were measured in older people, while the results were opposite in serum. More antioxidants were found in urine of tumor patients than in healthy people with same age-range. Conclusions. According to the results of 130 measurements, the amount of antioxidants in urine varies by age. By using agar methods to measure antioxidants, the effect of age is required to be considered. Antioxidants levels from tumor patients were significantly higher than healthy individuals in urine. The combination of urine and serum to determine total antioxidants can better diagnose tumor diseases based on iodine starch method, with area under the receiver operating characteristics curve at 0.787.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Cataract is the clouding or opacity that develops in the eye's lens and is considered to be an unavoidable consequence of aging due to irreversible lens damage. Free radicals and oxidant species are reported to be the major factor responsible for the onset and pathology of cataract. No pharmacological measures are formulated to treat cataract blindness and surgical removal of the opaque lens is the only remedy till date. Boosting of antioxidant potential of the lens is proved to prevent cataract and many indigenous plants have been screened for anticataractogenic potential in the last decades. The objective of the present study was to determine whether Cassia tora leaves; the plant employed in traditional medicine for eye rejuvenation and ailments, can prevent cataract in neonatal rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cataract was induced by a single subcutaneous injection of sodium selenite at a dose of 4 μg/g body weight on the 10th day and Cassia tora leaves was administered orally from 8th day upto 12th day at a concentration of 5 μg/g body weight. After 30 days; lens morphology, oxidant-antioxidant equilibrium, glutathione metabolism, cytoskeletal protein/gene expressions were monitored. RESULTS Lens morphology, biochemical analysis and expression studies supported the anticataractogenic effect of Cassia tora leaves. CONCLUSION In summary, it can be suggested that the consumption of these leaves afford protection to the lens with its antioxidant action and seems to be a new therapeutic approach against cataract by preventive protection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aims to compare the antioxidant abilities of cervical squamous carcinoma cells and cervical adenocarcinoma cells and to study the related mechanisms. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cervical squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma cells were treated with H2O2. Cell proliferation was determined with the MTT assay. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was detected by the 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein-diacetate (DCFH-DA) method. The 5,5'-dithiobis-2-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) method was performed to measure intracellular concentrations of reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). The nitrite formation method, the molybdate colorimetric method, and the DTNB colorimetric method were used to determine activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), respectively. RESULTS Compared with untreated control cells, cell proliferation of cervical squamous carcinoma cells and cervical adenocarcinoma cells was significantly inhibited by H2O2 treatment (p < 0.05). Reactive oxygen species levels and GSSG levels were significantly increased (p < 0.01), whereas GSH levels were significantly decreased (p < 0.05 or 0.01) in both cells after H2O2 treatment. Thus the ratio of GSH/GSSG was significantly decreased by H2O2 treatment in both cells (p < 0.01). In addition, H2O2 treatment significantly increased activities of SOD, CAT, and GPx in both cells (p < 0.05 or 0.01). Furthermore, the above-mentioned changes induced by H2O2 treatment were more dramatic in cervical squamous carcinoma cells. CONCLUSIONS The antioxidant ability of cervical squamous carcinoma cells is lower than that of cervical adenocarcinoma cells, which may be related to the increased ROS levels in cervical squamous carcinoma cells induced by H2O2 treatments.

Abstract
Assessment of oxidative stress is an important but technically challenging procedure in medical and biological research. The reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) test is a simple assay marketed for analyzing the total amount of hydroperoxides in serum via the Fenton's reaction. Earlier reports have raised a suspicion that a part of the signal detected in the assay comes from sources other than metabolites generated by oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to identify which serum components interfere with the d-ROMs signal. By application of sodium azide, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, sodium dodecylsulphate, varying temperature, and spiking endogenous substances we demonstrate that in the case of mammalian sera the assay determines ceruloplasmin (CP) activity with potential interferences from hydroperoxides, iron level, thiols, and albumin. In sera of avian species hydroperoxides contribute more to the test outcome, but the CP part is insensitive to inhibition by azide. In conclusion, this assay has deficiencies in terms of detecting realistic concentrations of hydroperoxides, is mostly measuring CP and is also interfered with other serum components, making it very difficult to interpret in most biological systems.

Abstract
Manufacturers have developed prototype cigarettes yielding reduced levels of some tobacco smoke toxicants, when tested using laboratory machine smoking under standardised conditions. For the scientific assessment of modified risk tobacco products, tests that offer objective, reproducible data, which can be obtained in a much shorter time than the requirements of conventional epidemiology are needed. In this review, we consider whether biomarkers of biological effect related to oxidative stress can be used in this role. Based on published data, urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2-deoxyguanosine, thymidine glycol, F2-isoprostanes, serum dehydroascorbic acid to ascorbic acid ratio and carotenoid concentrations show promise, while 4-hydroxynonenal requires further qualification.

Abstract
To determine if oxidative stress and inflammation are linked with major depressive disorder, nicotine dependence and both disorders combined. This study comprised 150 smokers and 191 never smokers. The instruments were: a socio-demographic questionnaire, diagnoses of mood disorder and nicotine dependence according to DSM-IV, (SCID-IV), and the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test. Laboratory assessments included: nitric oxide metabolites (NOx), lipid hydroperoxides, malondialdehyde (MDA), total reactive antioxidant potential (TRAP), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), fibrinogen concentrations, homocysteine, erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were assayed from blood specimens. Statistically significant differences were found among depressed smokers who had more severe depressive symptoms, a higher risk of alcohol consumption, more suicide attempts, and more disability for work than non-depressed never smokers. Depressed smokers had significantly higher levels of NOx, fibrinogen, hs-CRP, AOPP, ESR and lower levels of TRAP compared to non-depressed never smokers. Depressed smokers had significant levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory biomarkers after adjusting for gender, age, years of education, disability for work, and laboratory measures. The levels of NOx, lipid hydroperoxides, AOPP, and fibrinogen were substantially higher, whereas levels of TRAP were lower in depressed smokers compared to non-depressed never smokers. (1) Depressed smokers exhibited altered concentrations of NOx, lipid hydroperoxides, AOPP, TRAP, and fibrinogen. (2) Depressed smokers were more unable to work, showed more severe depressive symptoms and attempted suicide more frequently.
