Quantitative Measurements of Biochemical and Molecular Markers of Oxidative Stress Signaling and Responses March 22, 2023
Increases in cellular oxidation are a part of most plant responses to challenging conditions and are commonly described as oxidative stress. While this phenomenon is closely related to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, these latter compounds can be difficult to measure. Complementary measurements to assess cellular redox state are, therefore, very useful in studies […]
Spermidine Alleviates Intrauterine Hypoxia-Induced Offspring Newborn Myocardial Mitochondrial Damage in Rats by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and Regulating Mitochondrial Quality Control March 22, 2023
CONCLUSION: Maternal SPD treatment caused IUH-induced heart damage in newborn offspring rats by improving the myocardial mitochondrial function via anti-oxidation and anti-apoptosis, and regulating MQC.
The concentration of chromium and cobalt ions and parameters of oxidative stress in serum and their impact on clinical outcomes after metaphyseal hip arthroplasty with modular metal heads March 22, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: Metal-on-metal configuration in hip arthroplasty significantly influences with the increase in the concentration of chromium and cobalt ions in a double assessment. A statistically significant increase in the concentration of the tested Co and Cr ions in the blood correlates with an increase in the intensity of pain, especially in patients undergoing bilateral surgery. […]
Can amniotic fluid protect developing fetal lungs against the harmful effects of oxidative stress? March 22, 2023
BACKGROUND: Preterm births cause fetuses to be born without completing the development of their organs. Due to this undesirable situation, it is the pulmonary tissue which has to be most exposed to harmful effects of extrauterine environment. Early disappearance of the prophylactic and constructive effects of amniotic fluid (AF) on developing tissues, such as pulmonary […]
Influence of Defatting and Pasteurization on Nutrients and Oxidative Stress Markers in Human Milk March 22, 2023
CONCLUSIONS: Cold milk centrifugation proved to be an effective technique that allows the reduction of human milk lipids. The determination of triglycerides and cholesterol can be used as an indicator of skimming. This procedure is not accompanied by substantial modifications of other components present in the milk.
