Effects of shark hepatic stimulator substance on the function and antioxidant capacity of liver mitochondria in an animal model of acute liver injury

This study was carried out to investigate whether shark hepatic stimulator substance （HSS） can prevent acute liver injury and affect mitochondrial function and antioxidant defenses in a rat model of thioacetamide （TAA）-induced liver injury. The acute liver injury was induced by two intraperitoneal injections of TAA （400 mg/kg） in a 24 h interval. In the TAA plus shark HSS group, rats were treated with shark HSS （80 mg/kg） 1 h prior to each TAA injection. In this group, serum liver enzyme activities were significantly lower than those in the TAA group. The mitochondrial respiratory control ratio was improved, and the mitochondrial respiratory enzyme activities were increased in the TAA plus shark HSS group. The mitochondrial antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione level were higher in the TAA plus shark HSS group than in the TAA group. These results suggest that the protective effect of shark HSS against TAA-induced acute liver injury may be a result of the restoration of the mitochondrial respiratory function and antioxidant defenses and decreased oxygen stress.

Chemiluminescent determination of total antioxidant capacity during winemaking.

The total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of five different wines (four red and one white) was determined in five different steps of winemaking carried out in a commercial wine cellar by a chemiluminescence (CL) assay. The CL method is suitable to determine the antioxidant capacity of beverages, and preliminary trials showed that the TAC immediately after the bottle was opened was greater than the day after (about 25% decrease). Immediate analysis or a correct sample storage is therefore necessary. The wines were characterized by different levels of total phenolics and TAC: these differences were related to grape composition and winemaking technologies. The TAC values were the highest immediately after devatting. The TAC suffered the highest decrease (30-50%) after the clarification procedure, which may be due to the fining agents used and to oxygen contact, then remained more or less constant in the subsequent steps.     

Helicobacter pylori cagA Gene Polymorphism Affects the Total Antioxidant Capacity of Human Saliva

Background:  We aimed to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of saliva in healthy Helicobacter pylori -positive and negative saliva individuals.
Materials and Methods:  A total of 102 human saliva samples were checked for the presence of H. pylori DNA ( ureA and cagA gene fragments).
TAC of saliva was estimated by ABTS radical cation (ABTS^{• +} ) decolorization assay.
Results:  PCR analysis revealed that 36 subjects were ureA-/cagA- , 24 were ureA+/cagA- and 42 were ureA+/cagA+ . Smoking habits had no evident effect on H. pylori infection.
We found that TAC of the ureA-/cagA- material, after 10 seconds reaction reflecting fast-reacting antioxidants, was significantly higher than of ureA+/cagA- and ureA+/cagA+ samples (p < .01 and p < .001, respectively). Similar results were obtained for reaction time of 3 minutes measuring slow-reacting antioxidants (p < .001). We also estimated ureA+/cagA- and ureA+/cagA+ samples alone and reported a statistically significant decrease in the TAC_3min value of ureA+/cagA+ compared with ureA+/cagA- samples (p < .05).
Conclusions:  Our data demonstrated that altered redox equilibrium may be associated with more frequent occurrence of H. pylori in the saliva samples.

Environmental Pollution and Relationship Between Total Antioxidant Capacity and Heavy Metals (Pb,Cd, Zn,Mn, and Fe) in Solanum tuberosum L. and Allium cepa L.

In the natural environment, plants are exposed to different stress factors that are responsible for overproduction of reactive oxygen species. Exposure to heavy metals is one of these factors. The present article highlights the correlation between the effects of bioaccumulation of heavy metals in a highly polluted region as the industrial zone of the Thermo Power Plants “Kosova” in Kosovo on the antioxidant capacity of two selected target species: Solanum tuberosum L. and Allium cepa L. The results show that environmental pollution in the industrial zone of the Thermo Power Plants “Kosova” generates a significant bioaccumulation of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Zn, Mn, and Fe. The high concentration of heavy metals leads to an increased production of reactive radical species. The extracts of target plants cultivated in this region display a lower antioxidant capacity than the same plants grown in a control rural area. The Fe bioaccumulation markedly influences the antioxidant capacity of plant samples analyzed.

【目的】温度适应性是决定昆虫分布和扩散的重要因素。为探索茶淡黄刺蛾Darna trima(Moore)对温度胁迫的耐受性,本研究测定了温度胁迫对4种抗氧化酶的活力和总抗氧化能力的影响。【方法】分别将茶淡黄刺蛾老熟幼虫置于﹣5、0、5、26(对照)、35、37.5、40℃下处理2、4、6 h,测定其体内超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽巯基转移酶(GST)和总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)的活力变化。【结果】茶淡黄刺蛾的4种抗氧化酶的活力和总抗氧化能力在不同温度和时间之间均存在显著变化,但不同指标对温度胁迫具有不同的响应模式。低温胁迫尤其是﹣5℃对各指标影响最为显著,而高温胁迫影响较小。【结论】SOD、CAT、POD、GST和T-AOC在茶淡黄刺蛾应对温度胁迫中具有重要作用,本研究可为判断茶淡黄刺蛾在茶区的分布范围提供一定的理论依据。     

温度对短额负蝗成虫存活率及抗氧化酶活性的影响

为明确不同温度对短额负蝗Atractomorpha sinensis成虫存活率以及体内抗氧化酶活性的影响.在24℃～40℃温度范围内,将短额负蝗健康成虫分组,分别置于生化培养箱处理4 h.测定各温度处理下成虫存活率和抗氧化酶(SOD、CAT、POD)的活性、总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)以及丙二醛(MDA)含量的变化.成虫存活率在24℃～34℃范围内均高于50％,其他温度处理成虫存活率明显降低.试验温度范围内短额负蝗体内3种抗氧化酶活性随温度升高呈先增后减趋势.32℃时雌、雄成虫的SOD、POD和CAT酶活值最高.T-AOC活性与MDA含量与抗氧化酶活性变化趋势相似,二者均在34℃时达最高.短额负蝗对不同温度的适应性存在差异,温度过高不利于其种群存活,此现象与其体内抗氧化酶活性密切相关.短额负蝗雌成虫抗氧化酶活性高于雄成虫,更能适应温度的变化.     

Serum antioxidant capacity in healthy and diabetic subjects as determined by enhanced chemiluminescence

Free radicals are considered to be important factors involved in many physiopathological processes. Several methods have been proposed for studying the mechanisms of antioxidant protection against free radical-induced injury, including the measurement of the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in body fluids, based on enhanced chemiluminescence. This technique is calibrated against Trolox™ and assay results are expressed as μmol/L of Trolox equivalents. Since many of the complications induced by diabetes appear to be mediated by oxygen free radical generation, we have investigated serum antioxidant capacity in a group of healthy subjects and in insulin-dependent diabetic (IDDM) subjects. A statistically significant difference was noticed in TAC values between the IDDM group and the young control group. Even if the biological meaning of this significant reduction in TAC remains to be explained, an overproduction of precursors of reactive oxygen free radicals and/or a decreased scavenger systems efficiency can be associated with the increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

纳米硒对氟胁迫下鲤鱼肝抗氧化功能及组织结构的影响

为探讨纳米硒(nano selenium, NSe)对氟暴露下鲤鱼肝脏的抗氧化功能和组织结构的保护作用,将750条鲤鱼随机分为5个组,分别为对照组(CK)、氟胁迫组(FS)和纳米硒低、中、高剂量组(NSe L、NSeM、NSeH),NSe L、NSeM、NSeH组在基础饵料中分别添加0.1、0.5、1.0 mg·kg^-1的纳米硒,FS和 NSe组用100 mg·L^-1氟溶液进行胁迫,试验时间为30 d.结果表明：与CK组比较,氟暴露降低了鲤鱼肝组织中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH Px)的活性,增加了丙二醛(MDA)含量,肝脏的组织结构受到一定程度的损伤;与FS组比较,NSe增强了鲤鱼肝组织中SOD、CAT和GSH-Px活性,降低了MDA含量,缓解了氟胁迫对鲤鱼肝脏组织结构的损伤.表明饵料中添加纳米硒可在一定程度上改善氟胁迫所造成的鲤鱼抗氧化能力的下降和组织结构的损伤.     

DNA damage in response to an Ironman triathlon

The major aims of this study were to investigate the effect of an Ironman triathlon on DNA migration in the single cell gel electrophoresis assay, apoptosis and necrosis in the cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome assay with lymphocytes and on changes of total antioxidant capacity in plasma. Blood samples were taken 2 days (d) before, within 20 min, 1 d, 5 d and 19 d post-race. The level of strand breaks decreased (p<0.05) immediately after the race, then increased (p<0.01) 1 d post-race and declined (p<0.01) until 19 d post-race. Apoptotic and necrotic cells decreased (p<0.01) and the total antioxidant status increased (p<0.01) immediately after the race. The results indicate that ultra-endurance exercise does not cause prolonged DNA damage in well-trained male athletes.     

荷叶总生物碱激活肝脏AMPK/Nrf2通路缓解对乙酰氨基酚诱导的小鼠急性肝损伤

为探讨荷叶总生物碱(TAL)对对乙酰氨基酚(APAP)所致小鼠急性肝损伤的保护作用及可能机制,小鼠被随机分为正常组,模型组和TAL低、高剂量组(30、100 mg/kg),连续灌胃给药七天后,除正常组外,其余各组腹腔注射300 mg/kg的APAP诱导急性肝损伤。12小时后,收集各组小鼠的血清与肝脏样本,进行后续实验。结果显示,与模型组相比,TAL可显著降低血清中的ALT和AST活性,下调肝组织中TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6和MDA含量,上调肝组织中SOD、CAT、GSH-Px和GSH的水平。此外,TAL还明显改善了APAP诱导的小鼠肝组织病变。在TAL的作用下,肝内AMPK磷酸化水平提高,Nrf2蛋白入核,HO-1和GCLC基因表达上调。综上所述,TAL对APAP诱导的急性肝损伤具有保护作用,其机制可能与激活AMPK/Nrf2通路相关。     

In vitro modulation of antioxidant enzymes in normal and malignant renal epithelium

Summary The activities of three antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, were monitored in isolated human renal adenocarcinoma tissues and in cultured human renal adenocarcinoma cells. The results were compared to the activities of these enzymes in the proposed cell of origin, isolated human proximal tubular tissues, and cultured proximal tubular epithelial cells. Strong modulation of these enzymes by culture conditions was observed in normal cells but not in carcinoma cells. Low levels of cellular lipid peroxidation, as assessed by levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), were observed in adenocarcinoma cells under the culture conditions tested with one exception: greatly elevated MDA was observed in renal adenocarcinoma cells growth on plastic in serum-free, chemically defined medium. This increased lipid peroxidation correlated with a loss of cell viability under these conditions. This work was supported by a grant from the Veterans Adminsitration (T. D. O.) and by grant 1 R01 CA 41267 from the National Institutes of Health (L. W. O.), Bethesda, MD.
