The activity of the glutathione system and conjugated diene content (CD) have been investigated in the liver and blood serum of rats with experimental hyperthyroidism treated with melaxen and valdoxan. The study of glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GP) and glutathione transferase (GST) activities increased under this pathology has shown that administration of these compounds decreased these activities towards control levels. Melaxen and valdoxan administration increased reduced glutathione (GSH) content as compared with untreated hyperthyroid rats. This increase may be associated with its decreased utilization for detoxification of toxic products of free radical oxidation (FRO). Administration of the melatonin correcting drugs also tended to normalize the CD level increased in the liver and blood serum of hyperthyroid rats. Results of this study indicate that melaxen and valdoxan exhibit positive effect on free radical homeostasis. This appears to be accompanied by a decrease in the load of the glutathione antioxidant system in comparison with the examined pathology.  相似文献

The effect of thioctic acid on functioning of the antioxidant glutathione-dependent system and activity of enzymes, supplying this system with NADPH, were studied under conditions of toxic hepatitis in rats. A decrease in the glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase activities towards normal levels was observed in animals with toxic hepatitis after administration of thioctic acid. Administration of thioctic acid under conditions of toxic hepatitis caused a decrease in the NADPH-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities; this evidently reflects lowered requirements in the NADPH supply for operation of the glutathione-dependent system. Thus, these studies have shown that thioctic acid may serve as a factor regulating the extent of the oxidative stress development and the state of the glutathione antioxidant system.  相似文献

Doxorubicin‐induced renal toxicity overshadows its anticancer effectiveness. This study is aimed at assessing the possible modulator effects of meloxicam, a cyclooxigenase‐2 inhibitor, on doxorubicin‐induced nephrotoxicity in mice and exploring some of the modulator mechanisms. Forty male mice were divided for treatment, for 2 weeks, with saline, meloxicam (daily), doxorubicin (twice/week), or both meloxicam and doxorubicin. Doxorubicin induced a significant increase in relative kidney weight to body weight, kidney lipid perooxidation, plasma levels of interleukin‐6 and tumor necrosis factor‐α, kidney caspase‐3 activity, and kidney prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) content. Doxorubicin disturbed kidney histology, abrogated renal function tests (serum creatinine, uric acid, and blood urea nitrogen), induced a significant decrease in antioxidant enzyme activities (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase) and reduced glutathione (GSH) content. The administration of meloxicam with doxorubicin mitigated all doxorubicin‐disturbed parameters. Meloxicam ameliorated doxorubicin‐induced renal injury via inhibition of inflammatory PGE2, inflammatory cytokines, caspase‐3 activity, antioxidant effect, and free radical scavenging activity.  相似文献

The present study investigated the prophylactic influence of melatonin against cyclophosphamide-induced oxidative stress in mouse tissues. Lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulphide (GSSG), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and serum phosphatase levels were analyzed in brain, spleen liver, lungs, kidney and testes. Fifteen days oral administration with melatonin (0.1 mg/kg bw per day) before treatment checked the augmentation of the level of lipid peroxidation, blood GSSG and acid phosphatase caused by an acute treatment with a radiomimetic drug, cyclophosphamide (75 mg/kg bw). Cyclophosphamide-induced depletion in the level of GSH, GSH-Px and alkaline phosphatase was made up statistically significant by chronic melatonin administration given orally. The results indicate the antioxidative properties of melatonin resulting into its prophylactic property against the cyclophosphamide-induced biochemical alterations. The finding support the idea that melatonin is a potent free-radical scavenger and antioxidant.  相似文献

Artemisinin is a sesquiterpene lactone containing an endoperoxide bridge. It is a promising new antimalarial and is particularly useful against the drug resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum. It has unique antimalarial properties since it acts through the generation of free radicals that alkylate parasite proteins. Since the antimalarial action of the drug is antagonised by glutathione and ascorbate and has unusual pharmacokinetic properties in humans, we have investigated if the drug is broken down by a typical reductive reaction in the presence of glutathione transferases. Cytosolic glutathione transferases (GSTs) detoxify electrophilic xenobiotics by catalysing the formation of glutathione (GSH) conjugates and exhibit glutathione peroxidase activity towards hydroperoxides. Artemisinin was incubated with glutathione, NADPH and glutathione reductase and GSTs in a coupled assay system analogous to the standard assay scheme with cumene hydroperoxide as a substrate of GSTs. Artemisinin was shown to stimulate NADPH oxidation in cytosols from rat liver, kidney, intestines and in affinity purified preparations of GSTs from rat liver. Using human recombinant GSTs hetelorogously expressed in Escherichia coli, artemisinin was similarly shown to stimulate NADPH oxidation with the highest activity observed with GST M1-1. Using recombinant GSTs the activity of GSTs with artemisinin was at least two fold higher than the reaction with CDNB. Considering these results, it is possible that GSTs may contribute to the metabolism of artemisinin in the presence of NADPH and GSSG-reductase We propose a model, based on the known reactions of GSTs and sesquiterpenes, in which (1) artemisinin reacts with GSH resulting in oxidised glutathione; (2) the oxidised glutathione is then converted to reduced glutathione via glutathione reductase; and (3) the latter reaction may then result in the depletion of NADPH via GSSG-reductase. The ability of artemisinin to react with GSH in the presence of GST may be responsible for the NADPH utilisation observed in vitro and suggests that cytosolic GSTs are likely to be contributing to metabolism of artemisinin and related drugs in vivo.  相似文献

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major etiological factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the precise pathogenetic mechanisms linking HBV infection and HCC remain uncertain. It has been reported that decreased antioxidant enzyme activities are associated with severe liver injury and hepatocarcinogenesis in mouse models. It is unclear if HBV can interfere with the activities of antioxidant enzymes. We established a HBV transgenic mouse line, which spontaneously developed HCC at 2 years of age. We studied the activities of the antioxidant enzymes in the liver of the HBV transgenic mice. Our results showed that the antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase 2 were down-regulated in HBV transgenic mice and correlated with JNK activation. HBV enhanced the Fas-mediated activation of caspase 6, caspase 8 and JNK without enhancing the activation of caspase 3 and hepatocellular apoptosis. As a proper redox balance is important for maintaining cellular homeostasis, these effects of HBV on the host antioxidant system and Fas-signaling may play an important role in HBV-induced hepatocarcinogenesis.  相似文献

This study was designed to evaluate and compare the effect of melatonin, vitamin E and L-carnitine on brain and liver oxidative stress and liver damage. Oxidative stress and hepatic failure were produced by a single dose of thioacetamide (TAA) (150 mg kg(-1)) in Wistar rats. A dose of either melatonin (3 mg kg(-1)) vitamin E (20 mg kg(-1) ) or L-carnitine (100 mg kg(-1)) was used. Blood samples were taken from the neck vasculature in order to determine ammonium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and liver enzymes. Lipid peroxidation products, glutathione (GSH) content and antioxidative enzymes were determined in cerebral and hepatic homogenates. The results showed a decrease in BUN and in the antioxidant enzymes activities and GSH in the brain and liver. Likewise, TAA induced significant enhancement of lipid peroxidation products levels in both liver and brain, as well as in ammonia values. Melatonin, vitamin E and L-carnitine, although melatonin more significantly, decreased the intensity of the changes produced by the administration of TAA alone. Furthermore melatonin combined with TAA, decreased the ammonia levels and increased the BUN values compared with TAA animals. Also it was more effective than vitamin E or L-carnitine in these actions. These data show the protective effect of these agents, especially melatonin, against oxidative stress and hepatic damage present in fulminant hepatic failure.  相似文献

In view of the antioxidant properties of melatonin, the effects of melatonin on the oxidative-antioxidative status of tissues affected by diabetes, e.g. liver, heart and kidneys, were investigated in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats in the present study. Concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH), and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the tissues were compared in three groups of 10 rats each (control non-diabetic rats (group I), untreated diabetic rats (group II) and diabetic rats treated with melatonin (group III)). In the study groups, diabetes developed 3 days after intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of a single 60 mg kg(-1) dose of STZ. Thereafter, while the rats in group II received no treatment, the rats in group III began to receive a 10 mg kg(-1) i.p. dose of melatonin per day. After 6 weeks, the rats in groups II and III had significantly lower body weights and higher blood glucose levels than the rats in group I (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). MDA levels in the liver, kidney and heart of group II rats were higher than that of the control group (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, respectively) and diabetic rats treated with melatonin (p < 0.05). The GSH, GSH-Px and SOD levels increased in diabetic rats. Treatment with melatonin changed them to near control values. Our results confirm that diabetes increases oxidative stress in many organs such as liver, kidney and heart and indicate the role of melatonin in combating the oxidative stress via its free radical-scavenging and antioxidant properties.  相似文献

We investigated the potential of chronic administration of an oral daily dose (10 mg/kg) of the dietary flavonoid quercetin to prevent hypertension and oxidative stress induced by deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt in rats. We have compared its effects to those produced by the well-known anti-hypertensive drug verapamil, administered orally (20 mg/kg/day). Quercetin and verapamil treatments reduced systolic blood pressure of DOCA-salt rats in approximately 67.6 and 63.3% respectively, producing no effect in control animals. Both drugs reduced significantly hepatic and renal hypertrophy induced by DOCA-salt administration, while only quercetin prevented cardiac hypertrophy. Decreased endothelium-dependent relaxation to acetylcholine of aortic rings from DOCA-salt-treated rats was improved by quercetin, but verapamil only enhanced it in the presence of superoxide dismutase (SOD) plus catalase. Increased plasma and heart thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and total glutathione (GSH) levels in liver and heart, decreased liver glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and liver and kidney glutathione transferase (GST) activities were observed in DOCA-salt-treated rats compared to the control animals. The antihypertensive effect of quercetin was accompanied by normalisation of plasma TBARS values, improvement of the antioxidant defences system in heart and liver, restoring total GSH levels in both organs and altered liver GST and GPX activities, and improving kidney GST activity. Verapamil treatment only restored GSH levels in heart, having no effect on other alterations induced by DOCA-salt chronic administration in the antioxidant defences analysed. In conclusion, quercetin shows both antihypertensive and antioxidant properties in this model of mineralocorticoid hypertension, while verapamil exhibits only antihypertensive effects.  相似文献

The present study was designed to investigate the potential protective effect of melatonin as an antioxidant separately or in combination with antigens (cercarial; CAP or soluble worm; SWAP) against Schistosoma mansoni infection in hamsters. Each hamster was sensitized with an initial immunization of 0.6 ml of the extracted antigen (30 μg protein/mL). After four days,a second injection of 0.4 mL was given (20 μg protein/mL). Then,each hamster was exposed to 260±20 S.mansoni cercariae followed with melatonin...  相似文献

Melatonin plays several important physiological functions in mammals, such as immune enhancement and regulation of dark-light signal transduction. Melatonin is also known to be an endogenous free radical scavenger and an efficient antioxidant. It detoxifies a variety of free radicals and reactive oxygen intermediates, including the hydroxyl radical, singlet oxygen and nitric oxide. These radicals participate in many diseases, for example diabetes. This study determined the effect of melatonin on the antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and the level of glutathione (GSH) in human diabetic (C2 line) skin fibroblasts. Confluent monolayers of control (S2 line) and diabetic (C2 line) skin fibroblasts were incubated with different concentrations of melatonin: 10, 50, 100 and 1000 micromol/l at 37 degrees C for 24 h. Next, the GSH level and SOD, CAT and GPx activities were measured colorimetrically. The activities of the antioxidant enzymes and the GSH level were lower in diabetic skin fibroblasts than in the control S2 line. Concentrations of melatonin of 100 and 1000 micromol/l caused a significant increase in the enzymes' activities and GSH level.  相似文献

Excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can induce oxidative damage to vital cellular molecules and structures including DNA, lipids, proteins, and membranes. Recently, melatonin has attracted attention because of their free radical scavenging and antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible protective role of melatonin against atrazine-induced oxidative stress in rat erythrocytes in vivo. Adult male albino rats of Wistar strain were randomly divided into four groups. Control group received isotonic saline; melatonin (10 mg/kg bw/day) group; atrazine (300 mg/kg of bw/day) group; atrazine + melatonin group. Oral administration of atrazine and melatonin was given daily for 21 days. Oxidative stress was assessed by determining the glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) level, and alteration in antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) in the erythrocytes of normal and experimental animals. A significant increase in the MDA levels and decrease in the GSH was observed in the atrazine treated animals (P < 0.05). Also, significant increase in the activities of SOD, CAT, GPx, and GST were observed in atrazine treated group compared to controls (P < 0.05). Moreover, significant decrease in protein, total lipids, cholesterol, and phospholipid content in erythrocyte membrane were demonstrated in atrazine treated rats. Administration of atrazine significantly inhibits the activities of G-6-PD and membrane ATPases such as Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, Mg(2+)-ATPase, and Ca(2+)-ATPase (P < 0.05). Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examination of erythrocytes revealed morphological alterations in the erythrocytes of atrazine treated rats. Furthermore, supplementation of melatonin significantly modulates the atrazine-induced changes in LPO level, total lipids, total ATPases, GSH, and antioxidant enzymes in erythrocytes. In conclusion, the increase in oxidative stress markers and the concomitant alterations in antioxidant defense system indicate the role of oxidative stress in erythrocytes of atrazine-induced damage. Moreover, melatonin shows a protective role against atrazine-induced oxidative damage in rat erythrocytes.  相似文献

Emergence and evolution of the circadian rhythm of melatonin in children   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
OBJECTIVE: To assess the age at which the circadian rhythm of melatonin begins. METHODS: 55 children, divided into groups from the neonatal period to 24 months of life, were studied. Urine samples were taken from 28 newborn babies to measure 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (aMT6s). Salivary samples were collected from infants (27 cases), to measure melatonin (aMT). aMT was measured by RIA and aMT6s by ELISA using commercial kits. Changes in the levels of aMT6s and aMT were evaluated using the Friedman test and Wilcoxon matched pair test. RESULTS: The group aged 27-41 days showed statistically significant differences in daily aMT6s and aMT concentrations. The highest values were always found between 24.00 and 8.00 h. This day/night difference persisted from 2-3 to 13-24 months of age. CONCLUSION: The data indicate that the circadian melatonin rhythm appears at the end of the neonatal period and persists thereafter.  相似文献

Decreased melatonin production, due to acute suppression of pineal melatonin secretion by light exposure during night work, has been suggested to underlie higher cancer risks associated with prolonged experience of night work. However, the association between light exposure and melatonin production has never been measured in the field. In this study, 24-h melatonin production and ambulatory light exposure were assessed during both night-shift and day/evening-shift periods in 13 full-time rotating shiftworkers. Melatonin production was estimated with the excretion of urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (aMT6s), and light exposure was measured with an ambulatory photometer. There was no difference in total 24-h aMT6s excretion between the two work periods. The night-shift period was characterized by a desynchrony between melatonin and sleep-wake rhythms, as shown by higher melatonin production during work and lower melatonin production during sleep when working night shifts than when working day/evening shifts. Light exposure during night work showed no correlation with aMT6s excreted during the night of work (p?>?.5), or with the difference in 24-h aMT6s excretion between the two work periods (p >?.1). However, light exposure during night work was negatively correlated with total 24-h aMT6s excretion over the entire night-shift period (p?相似文献

Hydroperoxide decomposition by the NADP-glutathione system in rat liver mitochondria was analyzed. Mitochondria were found to contain high concentrations of the reduced form of glutathione (GSH) (4.32 +/- 0.50 nmol/mg) and NADPH (4.74 +/- 0.64 nmol/mg), and high activities of glutathione peroxidase and reductase. In the initial phase of the reaction, the rate of hydroperoxide decomposition was proportional to both the GSH level and the activity of GSH peroxidase. However, in the later steady state, the step of NADP reduction was rate-limiting, and the overall reaction rate was independent of the initial concentration of GSH, and activities of glutathione peroxidase and reductase. Some GSH was released from mitochondria during incubation, but the rate of the decomposition could be simply expressed as kappa [GSH]/2, where kappa is the first-order rate constant of the peroxidase and [GSH] is the intramitochondrial level of GSH in the steady state. The rate of the reaction in the steady state was also dependent on the NADPH level, its reciprocal being linearly correlated with [NADPH]-1. The rate of decomposition of hydroperoxide was influenced by the respiratory state. During state 3 respiration, the rate was greatly depressed, but was still considered to exceed by far the rate of physiological generation of hydroperoxide.  相似文献

Thymoquinone (TQ) is the bioactive constituent of the volatile oil of Nigella sativa L. and has been shown to exert antioxidant antineoplastic and anti-inflammatory effects. During the study of its possible mechanism of action, we found that TQ reacts chemically (i.e. nonenzymatically) with glutathione (GSH), NADH and NADPH. A combination of liquid chromatography/UV-Vis spectrophotometry/Mass spectrometry analyses was used to identify the products of these reactions. The reaction that occur in physiological conditions indicates the formation of only two products, glutathionyl-dihydrothymoquinone after rapid reaction with GSH, and dihydrothymoquinone (DHTQ) after slow reaction time with NADH and NADPH. Measurement of the antioxidant activity of reduced compounds against organic radicals such as 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) also revealed a potential scavenging activity for glutathionyl-dihydrothymoquinone similar to that of DHTQ. Under our experimental conditions, TQ shows lower scavenging activities than glutathionyl-dihydrothymoquinone and DHTQ; it is very interesting to observe that the reduced compounds apparently show an antioxidant capacity equivalent to Trolox. The results indicate a possible intracellular nonenzymatic metabolic activation of TQ dependent on GSH, NADH or NADPH that may represent a “cellular switch” able to modulate cellular antioxidant defences.  相似文献

We evaluated the preventive effects of Terminalia chebula (T. chebula) aqueous extract on oxidative and antioxidative status in liver and kidney of aged rats compared to young albino rats. The concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), lipofuscin (LF), protein carbonyls (PCO), activities of xantione oxidase (XO), manganese‐superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione‐S‐transferase (GST), and glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), levels of glutathione (GSH), vitamin C and vitamin E were used as biomarkers. In the liver and kidney of aged animals, enhanced oxidative stress was accompanied by compromised antioxidant defences. Administration of aqueous extract of T. cheubla effectively modulated oxidative stress and enhanced antioxidant status in the liver and kidney of aged rats. The results of the present study demonstrate that aqueous extract of T. cheubla inhibits the development of age‐induced damages by protecting against oxidative stress.

Melatonin, which shows a robust nycthemeral rhythm, plays the role of an endogenous synchronizer, able to stabilize and reinforce circadian rhythms and maintain their mutual phase relationships. Additionally, melatonin is a potent antioxidant and displays immunological properties. Because free radical generation, immune dysfunction, and sleep and metabolic disorders are involved in the short- and long-term pathophysiology of the burn syndrome, we undertook the study of daily urine melatonin, 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (aMT6s, the main hepatic melatonin metabolite), and cortisol variations plus temperature profiles in burn patients using a non-invasive protocol. Eight patients (6 males, 2 females) were studied on three occasions after admission to the intensive care unit (early session: days 1 to 3; intermediate session: day 10; late session: days 20 to 30). Melatonin, aMT6s, and free cortisol levels were determined in urine samples collected at 4 h intervals over a continuous 24 h span. Core temperature was recorded daily. Controls consisted of healthy subjects in the same age range. Cosinor analysis of the data provided an evaluation of mesor, amplitude, and acrophase of circadian rhythms. Also, we calculated day (D), night (N), and 24 h hormone excretions, N/D ratio for melatonin and aMT6s, and D/N ratio for cortisol. These data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test followed by multiple comparisons. Cosinor analysis did not detect a circadian rhythm in melatonin, aMT6s, or cortisol in any of the three sessions. D melatonin excretion displayed a major increase, resulting in a decreased N/D melatonin ratio, and the melatonin mesor (24 h mean) was increased in the early session, compared with controls. For aMT6s, only the early N/D ratio was decreased, and the mesor of the intermediate session increased. These results were not the consequence of hepatic and/or kidney alteration, as the patients' hepatic and renal parameters were in the normal range. The D and N melatonin/aMT6s ratios of controls and patients were similar, and the aMT6s profiles were superimposed on the melatonin ones, mainly during the day. The D, N, and 24 h cortisol values were increased in all sessions, except for the D level of the early session. The consistently increased mesors in the three sessions provided confirmation. The core temperature profiles were abnormal in all three sessions, mainly during the night, although there was a tendency toward normalization with time. The individual mesors were consistently increased compared with controls. Globally, the abnormalities we report could participate in the pathophysiology of short- and long-term alterations observed in burn syndrome, especially disturbances of sleep, metabolism, and immune function.

There is evidence that aging may impair phase‐shifting responses to light synchronizers, which could lead to disturbed or malsynchronized circadian rhythms. To explore this hypothesis, 62 elder participants (age, 58 to 84 years) and 25 young adults (age, 19 to 40 years) were studied, first with baseline 1‐wk wrist actigraphy at home and then by 72 h in‐laboratory study using an ultra‐short sleep‐wake cycle. Subjects were awake for 60 minutes in 50 lux followed by 30 minutes of darkness for sleep. Saliva samples were collected for melatonin, and urine samples were collected for aMT6s (a urinary metabolite of melatonin) and free cortisol every 90 minutes. Oral temperatures were also measured every 90 minutes. The timing of the circadian rhythms was not significantly more variable among the elders. The times of lights‐out and wake‐up at home and urinary free cortisol occurred earlier among elders, but the acrophases (cosinor analysis‐derived peak time) of the circadian rhythm of salivary melatonin, urinary aMT6s, and oral temperature were not significantly phase‐advanced among elders. The estimated duration of melatonin secretion was 9.9 h among elders and 8.4 h among young adults (p<0.025), though the estimated half‐life of blood melatonin was shorter among elders (p<0.025), and young adults had higher saliva melatonin and urinary aMT6s levels. In summary, there was no evidence for circadian desynchronization associated with aging, but there was evidence of some rearrangement of the internal phase‐angles among the studied circadian rhythms.  相似文献

The primary metabolic fate of methanol is oxidation to formaldehyde and then to formate by enzymes of the liver. Cytochrome P-450 and a role for the hydroxyl radical have been implicated in this process. The aim of the paper was to study the liver antioxidant defense system in methanol intoxication, in doses of 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 g/kg b.w., after methanol administration to rats. In liver homogenates, the activities of Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase and catalase were significantly increased after 6 h following methanol ingestion in doses of 3.0 and 6.0 g/kg b.w. and persisted up to 2-5 days, accompanied by significant decrease of glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase activities. The content of GSH was significantly decreased during 6 hours to 5 days. The liver ascorbate level was significantly diminished, too, while MDA levels were considerably increased after 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 g/kg b.w. methanol intoxication. Changes due to methanol ingestion may indicate impaired antioxidant defense mechanisms in the liver tissue.  相似文献
