Abstract
According to the World Health Organization, over 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, with the majority residing in low- and middle-income countries. Diabetes causes 1.5 million fatalities a year. The number of diabetes cases and its prevalence have progressively increased over the last few decades. This study aims to determine the phytochemicals in the edible part of Perkia javanica, predict their α-glucosidase inhibitory potential, one of the promising targets for diabetes, and then carry out in vitro and in vivo studies. The phytochemicals present in the n-butanol fraction of the methanol extract of P. javanica pods were analyzed using UHPLC-QTOF-MS/MS (Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry). The UHPLC-QTOF analysis revealed the presence of 79 different compounds in the n-butanol fraction. Among these, six compounds demonstrated excellent binding affinities with α-glucosidase, surpassing the performance of two standard inhibitors, Miglitol and Voglibose. In vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activities were assessed by the n-butanol fraction, followed by in vivo studies. According to the in vitro study, the inhibitory efficiency against α-glucosidase was determined to have an IC50 value of 261.9 µg/mL. The in vivo findings revealed a significant reduction in blood glucose levels in Swiss albino mice treated with the same extract, decreasing from 462.66 mg/dL to 228.66 mg/dL. Additionally, the extract significantly increased the activity of the enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and decreased the amount of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the liver and kidney tissue. The predicted physicochemical parameters indicated that most of the compounds would be excreted from the body after inhibition in the small intestine without being absorbed. Considering the low cost and wide availability of raw materials, P. javanica pods can serve as a good food supplement that may help prevent type 2 diabetes management.

Abstract
The antioxidant defense mechanisms play a critical role in mitigating the deleterious effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Catalase stands out as a paramount enzymatic antioxidant. It efficiently catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen, a potentially harmful byproduct of cellular metabolism. This reaction detoxifies H2O2 and prevents oxidative damage. Catalase has been extensively studied as a therapeutic antioxidant. Its applications range from direct supplementation in conditions characterized by oxidative stress to gene therapy approaches to enhance endogenous catalase activity. The enzyme's stability, bioavailability, and the specificity of its delivery to target tissues are significant hurdles. Furthermore, studies employing conventional catalase formulations often face issues related to enzyme purity, activity, and longevity in the biological milieu. Addressing these challenges necessitates rigorous scientific inquiry and well-designed clinical trials. Such trials must be underpinned by sound experimental designs, incorporating advanced catalase formulations or novel delivery systems that can overcome existing limitations. Enhancing catalase's stability, specificity, and longevity in vivo could unlock its full therapeutic potential. It is necessary to understand the role of catalase in disease-specific contexts, paving the way for precision antioxidant therapy that could significantly impact the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
It is known that oxidative stress originating from reactive oxygen species plays a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. In this study, the role of antioxidant status associated with oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease was investigated. Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 28 healthy individuals (as control) and 28 Alzheimer's patients who met the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Diseases and Stroke/Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association criteria. Catalase, glutathione S-transferase and paraoxonase 1 enzyme activities in blood plasma and glutathione S-transferase enzyme activities in erythrocytes were determined by spectrophotometer. Catalase, glutathione S-transferase and presenilin 1 gene expressions in leukocytes were determined using qRT-PCR. Data were analysed with SPSS one-way anova, a LSD post hoc test at p < 0.05. The activity of each enzyme was significantly reduced in Alzheimer's patients compared to control. The catalase gene expression level did not change compared to the control. Glutathione S-transferase and presenilin 1 gene expression levels were increased compared to the control.

[PMID: 37780174 PMCID: PMC10540612 DOI: 10.1177/20420188231187493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Metformin, which has been shown to be highly effective in treating type 2 diabetes (T2D), is also believed to be valuable for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Computer simulation techniques have emerged as an innovative approach to explore mechanisms. Objective To study the potential mechanism of metformin action in AD and T2D. Methods The chemical structure of metformin was obtained from PubChem. The targets of metformin were obtained from PubChem, Pharm Mapper, Batman, SwissTargetPrediction, DrugBank, and PubMed. The pathogenic genes of AD and T2D were retrieved from the GeneCards, OMIM, TTD, Drugbank, PharmGKB, and DisGeNET. The intersection of metformin with the targets of AD and T2D is represented by a Venn diagram. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) and core targets networks of intersected targets were constructed by Cytoscape 3.7.1. The enrichment information of GO and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genomics (KEGG) pathways obtained by the Metascape was made into a bar chart and a bubble diagram. AutoDockTools, Pymol, and Chem3D were used for the molecular docking. Gromacs software was used to perform molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the best binding target protein. Results A total of 115 key targets of metformin for AD and T2D were obtained. GO analysis showed that biological process mainly involved response to hormones and the regulation of ion transport. Cellular component was enriched in the cell body and axon. Molecular function mainly involved kinase binding and signal receptor regulator activity. The KEGG pathway was mainly enriched in pathways of cancer, neurodegeneration, and endocrine resistance. Core targets mainly included TP53, TNF, VEGFA, HIF1A, IL1B, IGF1, ESR1, SIRT1, CAT, and CXCL8. The molecular docking results showed best binding of metformin to CAT. MD simulation further indicated that the CAT-metformin complex could bind well and converge relatively stable at 30 ns. Conclusion Metformin exerts its effects on regulating oxidative stress, gluconeogenesis and inflammation, which may be the mechanism of action of metformin to improve the common pathological features of T2D and AD.

Abstract
Tuberculosis meningitis (TBM) is a result of the invasion of the meninges with the bacilli of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), leading to inflammation of the meninges around the brain or spinal cord. Oxidative stress occurs when the body's cells become overwhelmed with free radicals, particularly reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of TBM due to their toxic nature, resulting in impairment of the body's ability to fight off infection. ROS damages the endothelial cells and impairs the defense mechanisms of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which contributes to CNS susceptibility to the bacteria causing TBM. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common condition that is characterized by the impairment of the hormone insulin, which is responsible for modulating blood glucose levels. The increased availability of glucose in individuals with diabetes results in increased cellular activity and metabolism, leading to heightened ROS production and, in turn, increased susceptibility to TBM. In this review, we summarize our current understanding of oxidative stress and its role in both TBM and DM. We further discuss how increased oxidative stress in DM can contribute to the likelihood of developing TBM and potential therapeutic approaches that may be of therapeutic value.

Abstract
Diabetes is characterized by increased levels of oxidative stress. Its suggested that extract of cupuaçu could improve the antioxidant system in diabetes. The aim was to evaluate the effect of EC on Nrf2/NF-κB p65 in normal and diabetic rats. Male, adult Wistar rats (9-week-old) were distributed in 4 groups: control (CTL) and diabetic (DM) who received water; CTLEC and DMEC who received 1 mL/day of EC (1 g/mL), via gavage for 8 consecutive weeks. The diabetes was inducted with a single intravenous dose of 45 mg/kg streptozotocin. Glycemia and body weight were measured at the beginning and end of the protocol, and the renal tissue was analyzed by Western blot for SOD-1, SOD-2, CAT, GSSG, Nrf2, NF-κB p65, iNOS and 3-NT. Glycemia was reduced in DMEC vs. DM after 8 weeks of EC treatment. There was no difference in body weight of DMEC vs. DM; however, DMEC vs. DM presented increased levels of CAT and Nrf2, with a significant reduction of NF-κB p65, iNOS and 3-NT. Therefore, we suggest that EC could be utilized as a complementary therapy to ameliorate the antioxidant profile via Nrf2 and to delay the evolution of diabetic complications in renal tissue by inflammatory pathway inhibition.

Abstract
Cells are continually exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during cellular metabolism. Apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy are biological processes involving a feedback cycle that causes ROS molecules to induce oxidative stress. To adapt to ROS exposure, living cells develop various defense mechanisms to neutralize and use ROS as a signaling molecule. The cellular redox networks combine signaling pathways that regulate cell metabolism, energy, cell survival, and cell death. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) are essential antioxidant enzymes that are required for scavenging ROS in various cell compartments and response to stressful situations. Among the non-enzymatic defenses, vitamin C, glutathione (GSH), polyphenols, carotenoids, vitamin E, etc., are also essential. This review article describes how ROS are produced as byproducts of oxidation/reduction (redox) processes and how the antioxidants defense system is directly or indirectly engaged in scavenging ROS. In addition, we used computational methods to determine the comparative profile of binding energies of several antioxidants with antioxidant enzymes. The computational analysis demonstrates that antioxidants with a high affinity for antioxidant enzymes regulate their structures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The status of heavy metals in children with lower urinary tract pathology that may harm the upper tract, e.g., neuropathic bladder and posterior urethral valve and its relationship with oxidative stress has not been adequately investigated. Therefore, the object of the current work was to evaluate the concentrations of copper, zinc, cadmium and lead and their relations with levels of catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) in boys with neuropathic bladder and posterior urethral valve. METHODS Thirty-six children with neuropathic bladder, 35 children with posterior urethral valve and 33 health controls were included in the study. In addition to routine laboratory tests, blood samples were collected from patients and controls to assess levels of Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in addition to plasma concentrations of CAT, MDA and GSH. RESULTS Significantly elevated levels of Cu, Pb, CAT, MDA and GSH and significantly lower concentration of blood Zn were found in the studied groups compared to the controls. In the posterior urethral valve group, blood level of Cu was positively correlated with GSH while a significantly negative relation was observed between blood Zn and CAT activity among the neuropathic bladder patients. CONCLUSION Neuropathic bladder and posterior urethral valve may lead to abnormalities in the blood levels of heavy metals (i.e. Cu, Pb and Zn) and markers of oxidative stress (CAT, MDA and GSH). Therefore, the levels of theses metal ions should be monitored during the treatment course of neuropathic bladder and posterior urethral valve patients to prevent or minimize long-term oxidative injury.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation, including its prominent byproducts such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE), has long been linked with worsened metabolic health in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). In fact, patients with T2D already display increased levels of lipids in circulation, including low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and triglycerides, which are easily attacked by reactive oxygen molecules to give rise to lipid peroxidation. This process severely depletes intracellular antioxidants to cause excess generation of oxidative stress. This consequence mainly drives poor glycemic control and metabolic complications that are implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease. The current review explores the pathological relevance of elevated lipid peroxidation products in T2D, especially highlighting their potential role as biomarkers and therapeutic targets in disease severity. In addition, we briefly explain the implication of some prominent antioxidant enzymes/factors involved in the blockade of lipid peroxidation, including termination reactions that involve the effect of antioxidants, such as catalase, coenzyme Q10, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase, as well as vitamins C and E.

Abstract
Background Various studies suggest that oxidative stress has a role in the etiology of diabetes mellitus (DM) and its complications. Detection of antioxidant enzymes and malondialdehyde (MDA) level in ocular fluid may provide the possible biomarkers for monitoring the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The aim of this study was to compare catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and MDA levels in tears among diabetic patients with and without DR. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among type 2 DM patients. The patients were divided into three groups: no DR, non-proliferative DR (NPDR) and proliferative DR (PDR). Tears samples were collected using Schirmer strips for measurement of catalase, GPx and MDA. Results A total of 171 patients were recruited in this study (no DR, 58 patients; NPDR, 57 patients; PDR, 56 patients). There was significant difference in the mean level of GPx in tears between the three groups (no DR, 658.08 ± 115.70 U/L; NPDR, 653.78 ± 87.90 U/L; PDR, 605.31 ± 107.47 U/L, respectively) before and after adjustment for covariates (p = 0.013 and p = 0.001, respectively). Bonferroni post-hoc analysis showed PDR group had significantly lower mean GPx level than in no DR (p=0.001) and NPDR (p=0.037) after adjustment for covariates. There was no significant difference of mean catalase and MDA in the tears between the three groups before and after adjustment for covariates. Conclusion This study demonstrated that diabetic patient with DR is associated with low level of GPx in tears, suggesting that this antioxidant enzyme is a potential biomarker for predicting the presence of DR.

Abstract
Background One in 10 adults suffer from type 2 diabetes (T2D). The role of the gut microbiome, its homeostasis, and dysbiosis has been investigated with success in the pathogenesis as well as treatment of T2D. There is an increasing volume of literature reporting interventions of pro-, pre-, and synbiotics on T2D patients. Methods Studies investigating the effect of pro-, pre-, and synbiotics on biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in T2D populations were extracted from databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane from inception to January 2022. Results From an initial screening of 5,984 hits, 47 clinical studies were included. Both statistically significant and non-significant results have been compiled, analyzed, and discussed. We have found various promising pro-, pre-, and synbiotic formulations. Of these, multistrain/multispecies probiotics are found to be more effective than monostrain interventions. Additionally, our findings show resistant dextrin to be the most promising prebiotic, followed closely by inulin and oligosaccharides. Finally, we report that synbiotics have shown excellent effect on markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes. We further discuss the role of metabolites in the resulting effects in biomarkers and ultimately pathogenesis of T2D, bring attention toward the ability of such nutraceuticals to have significant role in COVID-19 therapy, and finally discuss few ongoing clinical trials and prospects. Conclusion Current literature of pro-, pre- and synbiotic administration for T2D therapy is promising and shows many significant results with respect to most markers of inflammation and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a persistent metabolic disorder rising rapidly worldwide. It is characterized by pancreatic insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. Hyperglycemia induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxidative stress are correlated with the pathogenesis and progression of this metabolic disease. To counteract the harmful effects of ROS, endogenous antioxidants of the body or exogenous antioxidants neutralise it and maintain bodily homeostasis. Under hyperglycemic conditions, the imbalance between the cellular antioxidant system and ROS production results in oxidative stress, which subsequently results in the development of diabetes. These ROS are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum, phagocytic cells and peroxisomes, with the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) playing a pivotal role. The exacerbated ROS production can directly cause structural and functional modifications in proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. It also modulates several intracellular signaling pathways that lead to insulin resistance and impairment of β-cell function. In addition, the hyperglycemia-induced ROS production contributes to micro- and macro-vascular diabetic complications. Various in-vivo and in-vitro studies have demonstrated the anti-oxidative effects of natural products and their derived bioactive compounds. However, there is conflicting clinical evidence on the beneficial effects of these antioxidant therapies in diabetes prevention. This review article focused on the multifaceted role of oxidative stress caused by ROS overproduction in diabetes and related complications and possible antioxidative therapeutic strategies targeting ROS in this disease.

Abstract
ObjectiveWithdrawal of cardiac vagal activity is associated with ventricular arrhythmia-related high mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our recent study found that reduced cell excitability of cardiac vagal postganglionic (CVP) neurons is involved in cardiac vagal dysfunction and further exacerbates myocardial infarction (MI)-evoked ventricular arrhythmias and mortality in T2DM. However, the mechanisms responsible for T2DM-impaired cell excitability of CVP neurons remain unclear. This study tested if and how elevation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) inactivates CVP neurons and contributes to cardiac vagal dysfunction and ventricular arrhythmogenesis in T2DM.Methods and ResultsRat T2DM was induced by a high-fat diet plus streptozotocin injection. Local in vivo transfection of adenoviral catalase gene (Ad.CAT) successfully induced overexpression of catalase and subsequently reduced cytosolic H2O2 levels in CVP neurons in T2DM rats. Ad.CAT restored protein expression and ion currents of N-type Ca2+ channels and increased cell excitability of CVP neurons in T2DM. Ad.CAT normalized T2DM-impaired cardiac vagal activation, vagal control of ventricular function, and heterogeneity of ventricular electrical activity. Additionally, Ad.CAT not only reduced the susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias, but also suppressed MI-evoked lethal ventricular arrhythmias such as VT/VF in T2DM.ConclusionsWe concluded that endogenous H2O2 elevation inhibited protein expression and activation of N-type Ca2+ channels and reduced cell excitability of CVP neurons, which further contributed to the withdrawal of cardiac vagal activity and ventricular arrhythmogenesis in T2DM. Our current study suggests that the H2O2-N-type Ca2+ channel signaling axis might be an effective therapeutic target to suppress ventricular arrhythmias in T2DM patients with MI.

Abstract
In our study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of Moringa oleifera leaves extract on rat paraoxonase 1 (rPON1) and catalase (rCAT) activities in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Our study included three groups; group C (control, n = 5); group D (diabetic, n = 5); and group DM (M. oleifera extract-supplemented diabetic rats, n = 5). Daily oral administration of M. oleifera extract at 200 mg/kg doses produced an increase in endogenous antioxidants. Serum rPON1 (lactonase) and liver cytosol catalase activities were determined by a spectrophotometric assay using progress curve analysis. We found a decrease in the Vm value of rPON1 in diabetic rats, but dihydrocoumarin (DHC) affinity (Km) was slightly increased. The value of Vm for the DM group was found to be reduced approximately by a factor of 3 compared with those obtained for group C, whereas Km was largely changed (96 times). Catalase activity was significantly higher in the DM group. These data suggest that the activation of rPON1 and rCAT activities by M. oleifera extracts may be mediated via the effect of the specific flavonoids on the enzyme structure. In addition, through molecular blind docking analysis, rPON1 was found to have two binding sites for flavonoids. In contrast, flavonoids bound at four sites in rCAT. In conclusion, the data suggest that compounds from M. oleifera leaves extract were able to influence the catalytic activities of both enzymes to compensate for the changes provoked by diabetes in rats.

Abstract
The process of aging can be defined as the sum accumulation of damages and changes in metabolism during the life of an organism, due to both genetic predisposition and stochastic damage. During the gestational period and following parturition, similar damage can be seen due to the strenuous effect on the maternal body, exhibited on both the physiological and cellular level. In this review, we will focus on the similar physiological and cellular characteristics exhibited during pregnancy and aging, including induction of and response to oxidative stress, inflammation, and degradation of telomeres. We will evaluate any similar processes between aging and pregnancy by comparing common biomarkers, pathologies, and genetic and epigenetic effects, to establish the pregnant body as a model for aging. This review will approach the connection both in respect to current theories on aging as a byproduct of natural selection, and regarding unrelated biochemical similarities between the two, drawing on existing studies and models in humans and other species where relevant alike. Furthermore, we will show the response of the pregnant body to these changes, and through that illuminate unique areas of potential study to advance our knowledge of the maladies relating to aging and pregnancy, and an avenue for solutions.

Abstract
Creatine supplementation of the population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with an exercise program is known to be a possible therapy adjuvant with hypoglycemic effects. However, excessive administration of creatine leads to the production of methylamine which is deaminated by the enzyme semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) and as a result, cytotoxic compounds are produced. SSAO activity and reaction products are increased in the serum of T2DM patients. Creatine supplementation by diabetics will further augment the activity of SSAO. The current review aims to find a feasible way to ameliorate T2DM for patients who exercise and desire to consume creatine. Several natural agents present in food which are involved in the regulation of SSAO activity directly or indirectly are reviewed. Particularly, zinc-α2-glycoprotein (ZAG), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), histamine/histidine, caffeine, iron (Fe), and vitamin D are discussed. Inhibiting SSAO activity by natural agents might reduce the potential adverse effects of creatine metabolism in population of T2DM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The performed study focused on determining the effect of vitamin D supplementation on enzymes involved in both inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and ROS degradation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIAL AND METHODS The 6-month follow-up, randomized, controlled study included 140 patients with T2DM, ≥ 30 years old, with good metabolic control, treated with metformin and lifestyle advice only. All patients were randomly assigned to two groups (70 each). Patients from the first group (Intervention group) were assigned to receive vitamin D3 50 000 IU or 14 000 IU regarding their vitamin D baseline levels. Patients from the second (Metformin) group continued to receive only metformin during the 6-month study period. RESULTS After 6 months, the myeloperoxidase activity was significantly lower and gradually decreased in the Intervention group by about 40%, compared to the baseline measurement (p = 0.015) and compared to the Metformin group (p = 0.001). After 6 months, the xanthine oxidase (XO) activity decreased significantly in the Intervention group compared to the baseline and 3rd month levels (p < 0.001). In the Metformin group there was also a significant decrease in XO after 6 months compared to baseline (p < 0.001) and the 3rd month (p = 0.003). The catalase activity significantly increased within the Intervention group only when comparing the 3rd and 6th month (p = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that vitamin D may improve endothelial dysfunction in patients with T2DM on metformin therapy by influencing two important factors implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications - ROS production and inflammation, which can additionally contribute to a stable metabolic control during metformin therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating experimental data supports the capacity of natural compounds to intervene in complicated molecular pathways underlying the pathogenesis of certain human morbidities. Among them, diabetes is now a world's epidemic associated with increased risk of death; thus, the detection of novel anti-diabetic agents and/or adjuvants is of vital importance. Alkaloids represent a diverse group of natural products with a range of therapeutic properties; during the last 20 years, published research on their anti-diabetic capacity has been tremendously increased. PURPOSE To discuss current concepts on the anti-diabetic impact of certain alkaloids, with special reference to their molecular targets throughout the insulin-signaling pathway. METHODOLOGY Upon in-depth search in the SCOPUS and PUBMED databases, the literature on alkaloids with insulin secretion/sensitization properties was critically reviewed. RESULTS In-vitro and in-vivo evidence supports the effect of berberine, trigonelline, piperine, oxymatrine, vindoneline, evodiamine and neferine on insulin-signaling and related cascades in beta-cells, myocytes, adipocytes, hepatocytes and other cells. Associated receptors, kinases, hormones and cytokines, are affected in terms of gene transcription, protein expression, activity and/or phosphorylation. Pathophysiological processes associated with insulin resistance, beta-cell failure, oxidative stress and inflammation, as well as clinical phenotype are also influenced. DISCUSSION Growing evidence suggests the ability of specific alkaloids to intervene in the insulin-signal transduction pathway, reverse molecular defects resulting in insulin resistance and glucose intolerance and improve disease complications, in-vitro and in-vivo. Future indepth molecular studies are expected to elucidate their exact mechanism of action, while large clinical trials are urgently needed to assess their potential as anti-diabetic agents.

Abstract
Reactive species produced in the cell during normal cellular metabolism can chemically react with cellular biomolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids, thereby causing their oxidative modifications leading to alterations in their compositions and potential damage to their cellular activities. Fortunately, cells have evolved several antioxidant defense mechanisms (as metabolites, vitamins, and enzymes) to neutralize or mitigate the harmful effect of reactive species and/or their byproducts. Any perturbation in the balance in the level of antioxidants and the reactive species results in a physiological condition called “oxidative stress.” A catalase is one of the crucial antioxidant enzymes that mitigates oxidative stress to a considerable extent by destroying cellular hydrogen peroxide to produce water and oxygen. Deficiency or malfunction of catalase is postulated to be related to the pathogenesis of many age-associated degenerative diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, anemia, vitiligo, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, bipolar disorder, cancer, and schizophrenia. Therefore, efforts are being undertaken in many laboratories to explore its use as a potential drug for the treatment of such diseases. This paper describes the direct and indirect involvement of deficiency and/or modification of catalase in the pathogenesis of some important diseases such as diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, vitiligo, and acatalasemia. Details on the efforts exploring the potential treatment of these diseases using a catalase as a protein therapeutic agent have also been described.

Abstract
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is a chronic disease associated with a number of micro- and macrovascular complications that increase the morbidity and mortality of patients. The risk of diabetic complications has a strong genetic component. To this end, we sought to evaluate the association of 40 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 21 candidate genes with T2D and its vascular complications in 503 T2D patients and 580 healthy controls. The genes were chosen because previously reported to be associated with T2D complications and/or with the aging process. We replicated the association of T2D risk with IGF2BP rs4402960 and detected novel associations with TERT rs2735940 and rs2736098. The addition of these SNPs to a model including traditional risk factors slightly improved risk prediction. After stratification of patients according to the presence/absence of vascular complications, we found significant associations of variants in the CAT, FTO, and UCP1 genes with diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. Additionally, a variant in the ADIPOQ gene was found associated with macrovascular complications. Notably, these genes are involved in some way in mitochondrial biology and reactive oxygen species regulation. Hence, our findings strongly suggest a potential link between mitochondrial oxidative homeostasis and individual predisposition to diabetic vascular complications.

Abstract
In type 1 diabetes, the replacement of the destroyed beta cells could restore physiological glucose regulation and eliminate the need for exogenous insulin. Immunoisolation of these foreign cellular transplants via biomaterial encapsulation is widely used to prevent graft rejection. While highly effective in blocking direct cell-to-cell contact, nonspecific inflammatory reactions to the implant lead to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species, which contribute to foreign body reaction and encapsulated cell loss. For antioxidant protection, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) are a self-renewable, ubiquitous, free radical scavenger currently explored in several biomedical applications. Herein, 2-12 alternating layers of CONP/alginate are assembled onto alginate microbeads containing beta cells using a layer-by-layer (LbL) technique. The resulting nanocomposite coatings demonstrate robust antioxidant activity. The degree of cytoprotection correlates with layer number, indicating tunable antioxidant protection. Coating of alginate beads with 12 layers of CONP/alginate provides complete protection to the entrapped beta cells from exposure to 100 × 10-6 m H2 O2 , with no significant changes in cellular metabolic activity, oxidant capacity, or insulin secretion dynamics, when compared to untreated controls. The flexibility of this LbL method, as well as its nanoscale profile, provides a versatile approach for imparting antioxidant protection to numerous biomedical implants, including beta cell transplantation.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is seen to be prevalent among the different epidemics. The prevalence rate of the diabetes mellitus is seen to be increasing in different regions of the world. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common form of the disease that causes the defect in the production of insulin. It is associated with the disruption in the metabolism of fat, proteins and carbohydrates. Different complications that are associated with T2DM includes the retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy and weakness and other issues. Due to the loss of the function of the insulin, the metabolism is disturbed. . It is needed to consider the effects of inflammation aging and the oxidative stress on the diabetes mellitus. Therefore this review has dealt with this particular issue in great detail. The predominant aim of this review was to evaluate the effects of inflammation aging and oxidative stress on the T2DM. It was achieved through correlating and comparing the studies of different researchers. This review article has reviewed this topic in great detail considering the different researches related to the inflammation aging, oxidative stress and their impact on the diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Mitochondria undergo continuous challenges in the course of their life, from their generation to their degradation. These challenges include the management of reactive oxygen species, the proper assembly of mitochondrial respiratory complexes and the need to balance potential mutations in the mitochondrial DNA. The detection of damage and the ability to keep it under control is critical to fine-tune mitochondrial function to the organismal energy needs. In this review, we will analyze the multiple mechanisms that safeguard mitochondrial function in light of in crescendo damage. This sequence of events will include initial defense against excessive reactive oxygen species production, compensation mechanisms by the unfolded protein response (UPRmt), mitochondrial dynamics and elimination by mitophagy.

Influence of maternal consumption of different types of fatty acids during pregnancy and lactation on lipid and glucose metabolism of the 21-day-old male offspring in rats. Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids 2018; 135:54-62.

Abstract
We evaluated the impacts of maternal consumption of different types of fatty acids during pregnancy and lactation on the lipid and glucose metabolism of 21-day-old offspring. Rats received either control (C), saturated (SFAs), trans (TFAs) or n - 3 polyunsaturated (PUFAs) normolipidic diets throughout pregnancy and lactation. 21-day old male pups constituted the groups: C21, S21, T21 and PUFA21. At 21st day, serum parameters, hepatic triacylglycerol (TAG) deposition, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and liver protein expressions were investigated. We found a decrease in serum concentrations of TAG, total cholesterol and FFA as well as in hepatic TAG content and baseline glycaemia, accompanied by an increase in catalase expression in PUFA21 group. In T21 group, OGTT showed slight disturbance in glucose homeostasis. Summarily, while early exposure to TFAs-based diets seems to harm pups' glucose homeostasis, maternal consumption of n - 3 PUFAs can improve lipid metabolism, TAG hepatic accumulation and catalase protein expression in 21-day-old offspring.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are known to be associated with the development of metabolic diseases, including diabetes. Oxidative stress, an imbalance between oxidative and antioxidative systems of cells and tissues, is a result of over production of oxidative-free radicals and associated reactive oxygen species (ROS). One outcome of excessive levels of ROS is the modification of the structure and function of cellular proteins and lipids, leading to cellular dysfunction including impaired energy metabolism, altered cell signalling and cell cycle control, impaired cell transport mechanisms and overall dysfunctional biological activity, immune activation and inflammation. Nutritional stress, such as that caused by excess high-fat and/or carbohydrate diets, promotes oxidative stress as evident by increased lipid peroxidation products, protein carbonylation and decreased antioxidant status. In obesity, chronic oxidative stress and associated inflammation are the underlying factors that lead to the development of pathologies such as insulin resistance, dysregulated pathways of metabolism, diabetes and cardiovascular disease through impaired signalling and metabolism resulting in dysfunction to insulin secretion, insulin action and immune responses. However, exercise may counter excessive levels of oxidative stress and thus improve metabolic and inflammatory outcomes. In the present article, we review the cellular and molecular origins and significance of ROS production, the molecular targets and responses describing how oxidative stress affects cell function including mechanisms of insulin secretion and action, from the point of view of possible application of novel diabetic therapies based on redox regulation.

Abstract
Calorimetric biochemical measurements offer various advantages such as low waste, low cost, low sample consumption, short operating time, and labor-savings. Multichannel calorimeters can enhance the possibility of performing higher-throughput biochemical measurements. An enthalpy sensor (ES) array is a key device in multichannel calorimeters. Most ES arrays use Wheatstone bridge amplifiers to condition the sensor signals, but such an approach is only suitable for null detection and low resistance sensors. To overcome these limitations, we have developed a multichannel calorimetric simultaneous assay (MCSA) platform. An adjustable microampere constant-current (AMCC) source was designed for exciting the ES array using a microampere current loop measurement circuit topology. The MCSA platform comprises a measurement unit, which contains a multichannel calorimeter and an automatic simultaneous injector, and a signal processing unit, which contains multiple ES signal conditioners and a data processor. This study focused on the construction of the MCSA platform; in particular, construction of the measurement circuit and calorimeter array in a single block. The performance of the platform, including current stability, temperature sensitivity and heat sensitivity, was evaluated. The sensor response time and calorimeter constants were given. The capability of the platform to detect relative enzyme activity was also demonstrated. The experimental results show that the proposed MCSA is a flexible and powerful biochemical measurement device with higher throughput than existing alternatives.

Abstract
Background The Nile rat (NR, Arvicanthis niloticus) is a model of carbohydrate-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the metabolic syndrome. A previous study found that palm fruit juice (PFJ) delayed or prevented diabetes and in some cases even reversed its early stages in young NRs. However, the molecular mechanisms by which PFJ exerts these anti-diabetic effects are unknown. In this study, the transcriptomic effects of PFJ were studied in young male NRs, using microarray gene expression analysis. Methods Three-week-old weanling NRs were fed either a high-carbohydrate diet (%En from carbohydrate/fat/protein = 70:10:20, 16.7 kJ/g; n = 8) or the same high-carbohydrate diet supplemented with PFJ (415 ml of 13,000-ppm gallic acid equivalent (GAE) for a final concentration of 5.4 g GAE per kg diet or 2.7 g per 2000 kcal; n = 8). Livers were obtained from these NRs for microarray gene expression analysis using Illumina MouseRef-8 Version 2 Expression BeadChips. Microarray data were analysed along with the physiological parameters of diabetes. Results Compared to the control group, 71 genes were up-regulated while 108 were down-regulated in the group supplemented with PFJ. Among hepatic genes up-regulated were apolipoproteins related to high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and genes involved in hepatic detoxification, while those down-regulated were related to insulin signalling and fibrosis. Conclusion The results obtained suggest that the anti-diabetic effects of PFJ may be due to mechanisms other than an increase in insulin secretion.

Abstract
Cellular and physiological adaptations to an atmosphere which became enriched in molecular oxygen spurred the development of a layered system of stress protection, including antioxidant and stress response proteins. At physiological levels reactive oxygen and nitrogen species regulate cell signalling as well as intracellular and intercellular communication. Exercise and physical activity confer a variety of stressors on skeletal muscle and the cardiovascular system: mechanical, metabolic, oxidative. Transient increases of stressors during acute bouts of exercise or exercise training stimulate enhancement of cellular stress protection against future insults of oxidative, metabolic and mechanical stressors that could induce injury or disease. This phenomenon has been termed both hormesis and exercise preconditioning (EPC). EPC stimulates transcription factors such as Nrf-1 and heat shock factor-1 and up-regulates gene expression of a cadre of cytosolic (e.g. glutathione peroxidase and heat shock proteins) and mitochondrial adaptive or stress proteins (e.g. manganese superoxide dismutase, mitochondrial KATP channels and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ coactivator-1 (PGC-1)). Stress response and antioxidant enzyme inducibility with exercise lead to protection against striated muscle damage, oxidative stress and injury. EPC may indeed provide significant clinical protection against ischaemia-reperfusion injury, Type II diabetes and ageing. New molecular mechanisms of protection, such as δ-opioid receptor regulation and mitophagy, reinforce the notion that mitochondrial adaptations (e.g. heat shock proteins, antioxidant enzymes and sirtuin-1/PGC-1 signalling) are central to the protective effects of exercise preconditioning.

Abstract
In many liver disorders, oxidative stress-related inflammation and apoptosis are important pathogenic components, finally resulting in acute liver failure. Erythropoietin and its analogues are well known to influence the interaction between apoptosis and inflammation in brain and kidney. The study is to clarify the effect of curcumin, a natural plant phenolic food additive, on lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced acute liver injury of mice with endotoxemia and associated molecular mechanism from inflammation, apoptosis and oxidative stress levels. And curcumin, lowered serum cytokines, including Interleukin 1beta (IL-1β), Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and improved liver apoptosis through suppressing phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway and inhibiting Cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding protein (CREB)/Caspase expression, and decreased oxidative stress-associated protein expression, mainly involving 2E1 isoform of cytochrome P450/nuclear factor E2-related factor 2/reactive oxygen species (CYP2E/Nrf2/ROS) signaling pathway, as well as liver nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-induced mice. Moreover, curcumin regulated serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), accelerated liver antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) levels, and inhibited activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases/c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (P38/JNK) cascade in the livers of LPS-induced rats. Thus, curcumin treatment attenuates LPS-induced PI3K/AKT and CYP2E/Nrf2/ROS signaling and liver injury. Strategies to inhibit inflammation and apoptosis signaling may provide alternatives to the current clinical approaches to improve oxidative responses of endotoxemia.

Abstract
The catalase enzyme decomposes the toxic concentrations of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Hydrogen peroxide is a highly reactive small molecule and its excessive concentration may cause significant damages to proteins, deoxyribonucleic acid, ribonucleic acid and lipids. Acatalasemia refers to inherited deficiency of the catalase enzyme. In this review the authors discuss the possible role of the human catalase enzyme, the metabolism of hydrogen peroxide, and the phenomenon of hydrogen peroxide paradox. In addition, they review data obtained from Hungarian acatalasemic patients indicating an increased frequency of type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially in female patients, and an early onset of type 2 diabetes in these patients. There are 10 catalase gene variants which appear to be responsible for decreased blood catalase activity in acatalasemic patients with type 2 diabetes. It is assumed that low levels of blood catalase may cause an increased concentration of hydrogen peroxide which may contribute to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized by disturbed extravillous trophoblast migration toward uterine spiral arteries leading to increased uteroplacental vascular resistance and by vascular dysfunction resulting in reduced systemic vasodilatory properties. Its pathogenesis is mediated by an altered bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO) and tissue damage caused by increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, superoxide (O2−) rapidly inactivates NO and forms peroxynitrite (ONOO−). It is known that ONOO− accumulates in the placental tissues and injures the placental function in PE. In addition, ROS could stimulate platelet adhesion and aggregation leading to intravascular coagulopathy. ROS-induced coagulopathy causes placental infarction and impairs the uteroplacental blood flow in PE. The disorders could lead to the reduction of oxygen and nutrients required for normal fetal development resulting in fetal growth restriction. On the other hand, several antioxidants scavenge ROS and protect tissues against oxidative damage. Placental antioxidants including catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) protect the vasculature from ROS and maintain the vascular function. However, placental ischemia in PE decreases the antioxidant activity resulting in further elevated oxidative stress, which leads to the appearance of the pathological conditions of PE including hypertension and proteinuria. Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between ROS and antioxidant activity. This review provides new insights about roles of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of PE.

Abstract
In blood, the hydrogen peroxide concentration is regulated by catalase. Decreased activity of catalase may lead to increased hydrogen peroxide concentration, which may contribute to the manifestation of age-related disease. The aim of this study is to examine association of decreased blood catalase activity and catalase exon mutations in patients (n=617) with diabetes (n=380), microcytic anemia (n=58), beta-thalassemia (n=43) and presbycusis (n=136) and in controls (n=295). Overall, 51 patients (8.3%) had less than half of normal blood catalase activity. Their genomic DNA was used for mutation screening of all exons and exon/intron boundaries with polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and PCR-heteroduplex analyses, and mutations were verified with nucleotide sequencing. Seven patients (type 2 diabetes (n=3), gestational diabetes (n=1), microcytic anemia (n=2)) had four novel catalase exon mutations namely, c.106_107insC, p.G36Afs*5(n=3, Hungarian type G1), c.379C>T, p.R127Y (n=2, Hungarian type H1), c.390T>C, p.R129L, (n=1, Hungarian type H2) and c.431A>T, p.N143V (n=1, Hungarian type H3). In patients with decreased blood catalase, the incidence of acatalasemia mutations was significantly high (P<0.0002) in microcytic anemia, type 2 and gestational diabetes. The four novel mutations were probably responsible for low blood catalase activity in 7/51 patients. In the remainder of the cases, other polymorphisms and epigenetic/regulatory factors may be involved.

Abstract
Catalase is one of the major antioxidant enzymes that catalyzes the hydrolysis of H2O2. The aim of this study was to suggest a new method for the assay of catalase activity. For this purpose, an amperometric biosensor based on glucose oxidase for determination of catalase activity was developed. Immobilization of glucose oxidase was made by a cross-linking method with glutaraldehyde on a Clark-type electrode (dissolved oxygen probe). Optimization and characterization properties of the biosensor were studied and determination of catalase activity in defined conditions was investigated in artificial serum solution. The results were compared with a reference method.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), by definition is a heterogeneous, multifactorial, polygenic syndrome which results from insulin receptor dysfunction. It is an outcome of oxidative stress caused by interactions of reactive metabolites (RMs) interactions with lipids, proteins and other mechanisms of human body. Production of RMs mainly superoxide (O2−) has been found in a variety of predominating cellular enzyme systems including NAD(P)H oxidase, xanthine oxidase (XO), cyclooxygenase (COX), uncoupled endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). The four main RM related molecular mechanisms are: increased polyol pathway flux; increased advanced glycation end-product (AGE) formation; activation of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms and increased hexosamine pathway flux which have been implicated in glucose-mediated vascular damage. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), nitric oxide synthase (NOS) are antioxidant enzymes involved in scavenging RMs in normal individuals. Functional polymorphisms of these antioxidant enzymes have been reported to be involved in pathogenesis of T2DM individuals. The low levels of antioxidant enzymes or their non-functionality results in excessive RMs which initiate stress related pathways thereby leading to insulin resistance and T2DM. An attempt has been made to review the role of RMs and antioxidant enzymes in oxidative stress resulting in T2DM. Four main molecular mechanisms are implicated in glucose-mediated vascular damage. Impaired antioxidant defense contributes to T2DM and related complications. SNPs in antioxidant enzymes are associated with pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Genotyping of gene variants in populations will help identify individuals at risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The maintenance of cell metabolism and homeostasis is a fundamental characteristic of living organisms. In eukaryotes, mitochondria are the cornerstone of these life supporting processes, playing leading roles in a host of core cellular functions, including energy transduction, metabolic and calcium signalling, and supporting roles in a number of biosynthetic pathways. The possession of a discrete mitochondrial genome dictates that the maintenance of mitochondrial 'fitness' requires quality control mechanisms which involve close communication with the nucleus. SCOPE OF REVIEW This review explores the synergistic mechanisms that control mitochondrial quality and function and ensure cellular bioenergetic homeostasis. These include antioxidant defence mechanisms that protect against oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species, while regulating signals transduced through such free radicals. Protein homeostasis controls import, folding, and degradation of proteins underpinned by mechanisms that regulate bioenergetic capacity through the mitochondrial unfolded protein response. Autophagic machinery is recruited for mitochondrial turnover through the process of mitophagy. Mitochondria also communicate with the nucleus to exact specific transcriptional responses through retrograde signalling pathways. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS The outcome of mitochondrial quality control is not only reliant on the efficient operation of the core homeostatic mechanisms but also in the effective interaction of mitochondria with other cellular components, namely the nucleus. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Understanding mitochondrial quality control and the interactions between the organelle and the nucleus will be crucial in developing therapies for the plethora of diseases in which the pathophysiology is determined by mitochondrial dysfunction. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Frontiers of Mitochondrial Research.

Abstract
Mitochondria are autonomous cellular organelles that oversee a variety of functions such as metabolism, energy production, calcium buffering and cell fate determination. Regulation of their morphology and diverse activities beyond energy production are being recognized as playing major roles in cellular health and dysfunction. This review is aimed at summarizing what is known regarding mitochondrial contributions to pathogenesis of lung diseases. Emphasis is given to understanding the importance of structural and functional aspects of mitochondria in both normal cellular function (based on knowledge from other cell types) and in development and modulation of lung diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis and cancer. Emerging techniques that allow examination of mitochondria, and potential strategies to target mitochondria in the treatment of lung diseases are also discussed.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to evaluate whether hyperglycemia mediated increased formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) was associated with erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme activity in subjects with different stages of diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS Serum level of AGEs was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR) and catalase activity were estimated by enzymatic reaction based spectrophotometric assay in patients with type 2 diabetes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and no retinopathy (DNR) and also in healthy non-diabetic controls (HC). RESULT Erythrocyte SOD and GR activity was significantly lower among NPDR (p=0.024, 0.0017, respectively) and PDR (p=0.0003, 0.0001, respectively) subjects compared with DNR individuals. A significant inverse correlation was observed between serum AGEs and erythrocyte SOD or GR activity in DNR (p=0.0019; r=-0.3033, p=0.0021; r=-0.3015, respectively), NPDR (p=0.0001; r=-0.4602, p=0.0003; r=-0.4161, respectively), and PDR (p<0.0001; r=-0.6753, p<0.0001; r=-0.5854, respectively) individuals. CONCLUSION Poor glycemia may be the key factor enhancing AGE formation, which may be associated with lower erythrocyte SOD and GR activity along with increased catalase activity in DR.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes our current understanding of the implication of catalase polymorphisms in the occurrence, control and comorbidities of metabolic diseases. RECENT FINDINGS Whatever impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance on diabetes and whatever their occurrence or implications, the studies taken together converge toward the hypothesis that catalase polymorphisms play a role in glucose disorders. -262C/T and -844A>G single nucleotide polymorphisms are associated to hypertension susceptibility and/or onset. Concerning dyslipidemia, very recent studies requiring confirmation report a -262C/T implication. Finally, a role of catalase polymorphisms in bone metabolism is described. SUMMARY Plethora of studies on catalase SNPs and their link with diseases exist. It is now clear that genetic variations in the catalase gene and its promoter are putative risk factors for metabolic disease. The question of how these polymorphisms actively play a role in various metabolisms remains unanswered. Further functional studies are required in order to gain a deeper insight into the direct role of catalase.

Abstract
Impaired glucose tolerance is common during aging. The transcription factor PAX6 is involved in glucose homeostasis. Computational promoter sequence analysis of the catalase gene highlighted a putative PAX6 binding site on the rs769214 polymorphism A allele. Creation of this binding site has been suggested to explain renutrition inefficiency in malnourished elderly patients. Our aim was to evaluate the link between the rs769214 polymorphism of the catalase gene and glucose homeostasis in malnourished elderly patients at inclusion and during renutrition. Thirty-three malnourished elderly Caucasian inpatients were recruited. Nutritional and inflammatory statuses were assessed and a multiplex adipokine analysis was conducted at inclusion and discharge from the Geriatric Nutritional Care Unit at Charles-Foix Hospital (Ivry-sur-Seine, France). Serum glucagon, PAI-1, and TNF-α levels were significantly lower in the A-allele carriers at inclusion. During renutrition, A-allele carriers exhibited increased serum glucagon, PAI-1, and TNF-α variation. After renutrition, levels of these parameters were similar for A-allele carriers and G-allele carriers. A logistic ordinal multivariate regression analysis linked only variation of glucagon to rs769214 SNP. These results support a role for catalase SNP in the efficiency of renutrition in malnourished elderly patients via the modulation of glucagon secretion, probably involving PAX6.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia is well-recognized and has long-term complications in diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy. In podocytes, the main component of the glomerular barrier, overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of high glucose induces dysfunction and increases excretion of albumin in urine. This suggests an impaired antioxidant defense system has a role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. We studied expression of NAD(P)H oxidase subunits by Western blotting and immunofluorescence and the activities of the oxidant enzyme, NAD(P)H, and antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT), in mouse podocytes cultured in a high glucose concentration (30 mM). We found long-term (3 and 5 days) exposure of mouse podocytes to high glucose concentrations caused oxidative stress, as evidenced by increased expression of Nox4 and activities of NAD(P)H oxidase (Δ 182%) and SOD (Δ 39%) and decreased activities of GPx (Δ -40%) and CAT (Δ -35%). These biochemical changes were accompanied by a rise in intracellular ROS production and accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in extracellular space. The role of Nox4 in ROS generation was confirmed with Nox4 siRNA. In conclusion, high glucose concentration affects the oxidant-antioxidant balance in mouse podocytes, resulting in enhanced generation of superoxide anions and its attenuated metabolism. These observations suggest free radicals may play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Az oxidatív stressz kóroki szerepe a csontállapot és a szénhidrát-anyagcsere romlásában ma már elfogadott. Vizsgálatunk során az egyik legismertebb antioxidáns enzim, a kataláz +22348C>T (RS769217) polimorfizmus hatását vizsgáltuk az inzulinérzékenységre, glükózfelhasználásra és a csontok denzitására. A glükózfelhasználás mérését (hyperinsulinaemiás klemp) és a genotipizálást 51 nő (24 egészséges, 27 glükózintoleráns: IFG, IGT és kezelést nem igénylő 2DM) és 90 férfi (64 egészséges és 26 glükózintoleráns) esetében végeztük el. Az allélfrekvenciákban a vizsgált dunántúli populációban, a nemek és csoportok között nem találtunk szignifikáns különbséget. A katalázgén-polimorfizmus anyagcsere- és csonthatása a nemek szerint különbözött. Nők esetében a T-allél megjelenése szignifikánsan jobb HOMA-IR indexet (CC: 2,95±1,8 vs. CT+TT: 2,06±0,9, p<0,05) és a TT-homozygoták esetében jobb teljestest-glükózfelhasználást eredményezett (M-1: CC: 9,43±4,4 vs. TT: 13,23±1,6 mg/kg/min, p<0,05), de a csontok denzitása nem különbözött. Férfiaknál a T-allél megjelenése alacsonyabb femurdenzitással (CC: 1,110±0,17 vs. CT+TT: 1,030±0,16, p<0,05 g/cm
2
) és jobb HOMA-indexszel (CC: 2,42±2,3 vs. CT+TT: 1,50±0,2, p<0,05 ) társult, de javulást az izomszövet cukorfelhasználásában nem mértünk. A szervezet energia-háztartását és a csontanyagcserét összekapcsoló osteocalcin anyagcsere-kapcsolata nők esetében (r = +0,4424, p<0,05, n = 23) a T-allél megjelenésekor eltűnik. A többszörös korrelációs számítások szerint a leptin/adiponektin arány nők esetében a femur, férfiak esetében az L1-4 BMD-értékét befolyásolja, de ezek a kapcsolatok a T-allél megjelenésekor megszűntek. Eredményeink eltérnek a koreai nőkön mért adatoktól, és hangsúlyozzák a genetikai vizsgálatok különböző populációkon történő ismétlésének szükségét, és az anyagcsereadatok nemek szerinti értékelésének fontosságát.
