Oxidative DNA damage in blood appears to be useful as a marker of systemic oxidative stress levels. Dietary factors such as fat and energy intakes have been indicated to affect oxidative stress levels, and this may be an important mechanism by which diet can modulate cancer risk. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary intervention in premenopausal women on the levels of one type of oxidative DNA damage: 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxyuridine. The trial randomly assigned women to control, low-fat, low-energy or combination low-fat/low-energy diets for 12?weeks. Blood samples were obtained every 2?weeks, and DNA was analysed for the levels of 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxyuridine. Levels of DNA damage declined with time in each diet arm, including the control arm. The decreases were greater in the two arms with low-energy intake, but not significantly so. The numbers of women who exhibited decreased 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxyuridine levels at 12?weeks versus baseline levels, however, was significantly greater in women assigned to any intervention diet (79%) than in the control arm (50%). Low-fat and low-energy diets therefore had a small effect on changes in oxidative DNA damage levels. The women participating in this study were not selected on the basis of increased cancer risk; therefore, they may have had low baseline levels of damage that were not amenable to further reduction by dietary change.  相似文献

We examined the effects of dietary vitamin E (VE) on oxidative damage to DNA and lipids in the liver a few days after total body irradiation (TBI). ODS rats, which lack vitamin C synthesis, were fed either a low VE diet (4.3 λmg λVE/kg) or a basal VE diet (75.6 λmg λVE/kg) for 5 weeks while vitamin C was supplied in the drinking water. The VE level in the liver of the low VE group was lower and the levels of lipid peroxides were higher compared to those of the basal VE group: the relative levels in the two groups were 1:30 for VE, 18:1 for 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), and 10:1 for hexanal (HA). The level of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8OHdG), a marker of oxidative DNA damage, did not differ between the low VE and the basal VE groups. When the rats received TBI at the dose of 3 λGy and were killed on day 6, the levels of HNE, HA and 8OHdG increased by 2.2-, 2-, and 1.5-times, respectively, in the low VE group, but TBI did not cause such increases in the basal VE group. Changes in antioxidative enzymes (glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and Cu/Zn-SOD) in the liver could not explain the different responses of the two diet groups to TBI-induced oxidative damage. The concentrations of vitamin C and glutathione in the liver did not differ between the two groups. These results suggest that dietary VE can prevent the oxidative damage to DNA and lipids in the liver which appear a few days after TBI at dose of 3 λGy.  相似文献

The objective of our study was to determine the antioxidative potential of a plant extract (PE) mixture composed of carvacrol, capsicum oleoresin and cinnamaldehyde against high n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)-induced oxidative stress in young pigs. Thirty-two weaned castrated male crossbred pigs (BW 10.9 kg; n = 32) were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments (n = 8). The negative control diet (Cont) contained 17.2% energy from fat. Oxidative stress was induced in three of the four experimental groups with the inclusion of n-3 PUFA rich linseed oil. Linseed oil substituted wheat starch in the diet to elevate the amount of energy from fat to 34.1%. One of these diets served as a positive control (Oil), one was additionally supplemented with 271.2 mg/kg of PE mixture and one with 90.4 mg/kg α-tocopheryl acetate (Vit E). After 14 days of treatment, blood and urine were collected for the determination of lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. Lipid peroxidation was studied by plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations, 24 h urinary MDA and F2-isoprostane (iPF2α-VI) excretion, total antioxidant status of plasma and glutathione peroxidase assays. Lymphocyte DNA fragmentation and 24 h urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine excretion were measured to determine DNA damage. Consumption of n-3 PUFA rich linseed oil increased the amount of MDA in plasma and urine, and induced DNA damage in lymphocytes, but did not elevate the amount of iPF2α-VI excreted in the urine. The supplementation with PE and with Vit E did not reduce MDA levels in plasma and urine, but it decreased the percentage of DNA damage in lymphocytes (P < 0.001). The PE reduced the urinary iPF2α-VI excretion in comparison to the Cont diet. The results show that PE and Vit E supplemented to pigs in concentrations of 271.2 mg/kg and 90.4 mg/kg, respectively, can effectively protect pig's blood lymphocytes against oxidative DNA damage, thus suggesting their potentially beneficial effects on the immune system under dietary-induced oxidative stress.  相似文献

Manipulation of human diet can modulate urinary biomarkers of oxidative DNA base damage (UBODBD), reflecting changes in levels of DNA damage. When dietary composition is maintained but caloric intake is decreased (caloric restriction), UBODBD excretion is suppressed. At isocaloric dietary intake the level of damage depends on diet composition. For diets consisting of foods containing carbohydrates, proteins, and fats but lacking fruits and vegetables, the level of damage is higher than for diets including fruits and vegetables, which are rich in natural antioxidants. Assay of urinary biomarkers is suggested as a potential test for quantitative assessment of the carcinogenic or anticarcinogenic properties of foods, food components, and diets and for individual responses to nutritional regimens.  相似文献

Steatoapoptosis is a hallmark of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and is an important factor in liver disease progression. We hypothesized that increased reactive oxygen species resulting from excess dietary fat contribute to liver disease by causing DNA damage and apoptotic cell death, and tested this by investigating the effects of feeding mice high fat or standard diets for 8 weeks. High fat diet feeding resulted in increased hepatic H2O2, superoxide production, and expression of oxidative stress response genes, confirming that the high fat diet induced hepatic oxidative stress. High fat diet feeding also increased hepatic steatosis, hepatitis and DNA damage as exemplified by an increase in the percentage of 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-OHG) positive hepatocytes in high fat diet fed mice. Consistent with reports that the DNA damage checkpoint kinase Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated (ATM) is activated by oxidative stress, ATM phosphorylation was induced in the livers of wild type mice following high fat diet feeding. We therefore examined the effects of high fat diet feeding in Atm-deficient mice. The prevalence of apoptosis and expression of the pro-apoptotic factor PUMA were significantly reduced in Atm-deficient mice fed the high fat diet when compared with wild type controls. Furthermore, high fat diet fed Atm−/− mice had significantly less hepatic fibrosis than Atm+/+ or Atm+/− mice fed the same diet. Together, these data demonstrate a prominent role for the ATM pathway in the response to hepatic fat accumulation and link ATM activation to fatty liver-induced steatoapoptosis and fibrosis, key features of NAFLD progression.  相似文献

Correlation studies suggest that fecal mutagenicity is increased in groups eating high-fat diets, the same groups who are often found to have high colorectal cancer incidence and mortality. The fecapentaenes are the best characterized class of fecal mutagens, but the relationship of dietary fat intake to the excretion of these potent genotoxins is unknown. We studied the effect of changes in amount and type of dietary fat on fecapentaene levels in 31 premenopausal women 20-40 years of age who participated in a controlled feeding study. After a pre-diet free-living period lasting 1 menstrual cycle, women were placed on a high-fat (40% energy from fat) diet for 4 menstrual cycles and then switched to a low-fat (20% energy from fat) diet for an additional 4 menstrual cycles. One-half the subjects were maintained throughout the study at a ratio of polyunsaturated-to-saturated fatty acids (P/S ratio) of 1.0, the other half at 0.3; body weight was constant. All meals during the controlled diet periods were prepared at the Human Study Facility of the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center. Fecapentaene and fecapentaene precursor levels were measured in acetone extracts from 3-day pooled stool samples collected during the study. No differences in fecapentaene or precursor levels were observed between the high- and low-fat diets at either P/S ratio. Fecapentaene and precursor levels were higher while on controlled diets than during the pre-diet free-living period, and levels declined again in the post-diet free-living period. We conclude that dietary fat has no significant effect on fecapentaene or precursor levels in acetone extracts of stool in premenopausal women. The effect of other dietary or non-dietary factors on fecapentaenes remains unknown.  相似文献

Rats were fed a low-fat diet containing 2% safflower oil or 20% fat diets containing either safflower oil rich in linoleic acid, borage oil containing 25% gamma (gamma)-linolenic acid or enzymatically prepared gamma-linolenic acid enriched borage oil containing 47% gamma-linolenic acid for 14 days. Energy intake and growth of animals were the same among groups. A high safflower oil diet compared with a low-fat diet caused significant increases in both epididymal and perirenal white adipose tissue weights. However, high-fat diets rich in gamma-linolenic acid failed to do so. Compared with a low-fat diet, all the high-fat diets increased mRNA levels of uncoupling protein 1 and lipoprotein lipase in brown adipose tissue. The extents of the increase were greater with high-fat diets rich in gamma-linolenic acid. Various high-fat diets, compared with a low-fat diet, decreased glucose transporter 4 mRNA in white adipose tissue to the same levels. The amount and types of dietary fat did not affect the leptin mRNA level in epididymal white adipose tissue. However, a high safflower oil diet, but not high-fat diets rich in gamma-linolenic acid relative to a low-fat diet, increased perirenal white adipose tissue leptin mRNA levels. All high-fat diets, relative to a low-fat diet, increased the hepatic mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation rate and fatty acid oxidation enzyme mRNA abundances to the same levels. High-fat diets also increased these parameters in the peroxisomal pathway, and the increases were greater with high-fat diets rich in gamma-linolenic acid. The physiological activity in increasing brown adipose tissue gene expression and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation was similar between the two types of borage oil differing in gamma-linolenic acid content. It was suggested that dietary gamma-linolenic acid attenuates body fat accumulation through the increase in gene expressions of uncoupling protein 1 in brown adipose tissue. An increase in hepatic peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation may also contribute to the physiological activity of gamma-linolenic acid in decreasing body fat mass.  相似文献

Autoantibodies against oxidized DNA bases are found in vivo and have been used as an indicator of oxidative damage, yet little is known concerning their individual variation and relation to serum micronutrients. Human plasma anti-5-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (HMdU) autoantibody (aAb) levels were repeatedly determined in 41 women and 11 men, and found to have small within-individual variation over time, but large between-individual differences. A positive association in both women (r = .5762, p = .0001) and men (r = .415, p = .2) between plasma total tocopherols and antibody levels was observed. Autoantibody levels were lower in postmenopausal women (8.37 +/- 1.61 vs. 17.18 +/- 2.85 in premenopausal women, p < .01), independently of plasma tocopherol. However, aAb titers in postmenopausal women were still significantly associated with plasma tocopherol levels and adjustment for menopausal status in women yielded a highly significant correlation between HMdU aAb levels and total tocopherol (r = .7342, p = .0001). Plasma malondialdehyde equivalents (MDA), a measure of lipid peroxidation, were also higher in individuals with either high plasma alpha-tocopherol or high beta+gamma-tocopherol levels. The positive association of tocopherols with markers of oxidative damage may reflect a response to the generation of endogenous oxidants associated with enhanced immune function. The decrease in aAb level in postmenopausal women may similarly reflect decreased immune function associated with decreased estrogen levels.  相似文献

To determine whether a short-term change in dietary habits affects postprandial lipemia in men and women in the same way, postprandial triglyceridemia was measured in age- and BMI-matched young healthy men and women after two weeks on the self-selected low-fat low-cholesterol (LF) diet and after another two weeks on the self-selected high-fat high-cholesterol (HF) diet. After a standardized challenge meal (1.4 g fat/kg of body weight), men had higher postprandial triglyceridemia than women on the HF diet but no such difference was observed on the LF diet. The results of this preliminary study suggest that there may be important sex differences in the mechanisms regulating the postprandial lipemia response to different diets, women being able to adapt better to the HF diet with respect to postprandial lipemia.  相似文献

Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets that varied qualitatively and quantitatively in antioxidants. Kidney, heart, lung, and spleen homogenates were incubated at 37°C with and without hydroperoxide or Fe+2. Protection of antioxidants against oxidative damage to tissue was determined by measurement of oxidized heme proteins. Tissues from rats supplemented with dietary vitamin E and selenium showed protection compared to tissues from rats on the basal diet. Tissues from rats with diets containing larger quantities of antioxidants and both fat soluble antioxidants: vitamin E, β-carotene, coenzyme Q10, ascorbic acid 6-palmitate and water soluble antioxidants: selenium, trolox C, acetylcysteine, coenzyme Q0, (+)-catechin, showed the highest protection.  相似文献

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease with high morbidity. Acetic acid-induced damage of colonic mucosa in rats is a commonly used experimental animal model of UC. This research aimed to explore for the first time the ameliorative effect of dietary supplementation with fava bean on the incidence of UC in rats fed with sucrose containing diet. Rats were divided into five groups as follows: G1, control healthy rats; G2, colitic rats; G3, colitic rats fed diets containing 30% sucrose, G4, healthy rats fed diets containing 30% sucrose and G5, colitic rats fed diets containing 30% sucrose supplemented with dried ground fava bean. Colonic injury and inflammation were evaluated through a disturbance of oxidative biomarkers, a significant increase in inflammatory biomarkers and inflammatory cytokines, and histological abnormalities in colonic tissues accompanied by colonic mucosal DNA damage. Colitic rats fed on sucrose containing diet demonstrated additional histological, biochemical, and DNA alterations in colonic mucosa of rats. Dietary supplementation with dried ground fava bean significantly corrected the impaired oxidative and inflammatory biomarker levels and modulated histological features and DNA alterations. Finally, fava bean attenuated the oxidative damage and colonic injury induced by acetic acid, which confirmed its high anti-oxidant and anti-incendiary properties.  相似文献

Approximately 12% of Americans do not consume the recommended level of zinc and could be at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. Zinc functions in antioxidant defense and DNA repair and could be important for prostate health. We hypothesized that marginal zinc deficiency sensitizes the prostate to oxidative stress and DNA damage. Rats were fed a zinc-adequate (ZA; 30 mg Zn/kg) or marginally zinc-deficient (MZD; 5–6 mg Zn/kg) diet for 6 weeks. MZD increased p53 and PARP expression but no change in 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine levels was detected. To examine the susceptibility to exogenous oxidative stress, rats fed a ZA or MZD diet were assigned to exercising (EXE) or sedentary (SED) groups for 9 weeks. MZD or EXE alone did not affect oxidative DNA damage in the prostate; however, combined MZD + EXE increased DNA damage in the dorsolateral lobe. PARP and p53 expression was not further induced with MZD + EXE, suggesting that MZD interferes with DNA repair responses to stress. Finally, the addition of phytase to the MZD diet successfully restored zinc levels in the prostate and decreased DNA damage back to ZA levels. Overall, this study suggests that marginal zinc deficiency sensitizes the prostate to oxidative stress and demonstrates the importance of maintaining optimal zinc nutrition in physically active populations.  相似文献

In this study, antioxidant capability and protective effect of probiotics on reproductive damage induced by diet oxidative stress were investigated. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups with 10 rats in each group. The control group consumed a normal standard diet (5% fat, w/w). The other two treatment groups were fed with a high-fat diet (20% fat, w/w), and a high-fat diet supplemented with 2% probiotics (w/w), respectively. At the end of the experimental period, that is, after 6 weeks, rats were killed. Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), contents of nitric oxide (NO) free radical and malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum and sperm suspension were examined. Sperm parameters including sperm concentration, viability, motility and DNA integrity were analyzed. The results showed that high-fat diet could induce oxidative stress, shown as significant increases in lipid peroxidation, NO free radical, significant decrease in activities of SOD, GSH-Px, significant reduction in sperm concentration, viability and motility, and damage in sperm DNA (P < 0.05), compared with the control group. These alterations were significantly reversed in the probiotics-supplemented group and had no significant difference in antioxidant capability, lipid peroxidation and sperm parameters compared with the control group. The percentage of sperm with DNA damage was significantly lower than the high-fat diet group and still higher than the control group, which means that probiotics could attenuate sperm damage to some extent. The present results indicated that dietary probiotics had antioxidant activity and the protective effect against sperm damage induced by high-fat diet to some extent.  相似文献

Alpha- and beta-cells dysfunction is implicated in the development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to evaluate whether alpha- and beta-cell dysfunction may precede prediabetes (PreDM) and T2DM development. Furthermore, we explored the role of two healthy diets (Mediterranean and low-fat diets) modulating these processes. We included 462 patients from the CORDIOPREV study without T2DM at baseline, of which 272 were PreDM. During follow-up, 107 patients developed T2DM (T2DM-incident group), 30 developed PreDM (PreDM-incident group), 86 regressed to normoglycemia (PreDM-regression group) and 29 patients remained without PreDM or T2DM criteria (control group), according to the American Diabetes Association diagnosis criteria. We measured glucose, insulin, glucagon and GLP-1 plasma levels in the OGTT performed at baseline and after 2 years of follow-up. Patients were randomized to consume two healthy diets, a Mediterranean (>35%) and a low-fat (<30%). At baseline we already observed higher levels of glucagon and glucagon/insulin (G/I) ratio in the T2DM-incident group compared with PreDM-incident and control groups. T2DM Risk Assessment by COX analysis using G/I ratio at 30 min after an OGTT was able to assess the T2DM risk with an HR of 2.514. The two dietary models differentially influenced the PreDM regression. Specifically, the consumption of Mediterranean diet was associated with a decrease in G/I ratio (P=.034), whereas the low-fat diet reduced insulin levels (P=.002). Our results suggest that alpha-cell dysfunction precedes the T2DM development. This process seems to be independent of diet consumed. However the PreDM regression might be differentially modulated by diets.  相似文献

After intense physical activity animals generally experience a rise in metabolic rate, which is associated with a proliferation of pro-oxidants. If unchecked, these pro-oxidants can cause damage to DNA and peroxidation of lipids in cell walls. Two factors are thought to ameliorate post-exercise oxidative damage, at least in mammals: dietary antioxidants and exercise training. So far it is unknown whether birds benefit similarly from exercise training, although a positive effect of dietary antioxidants on take-off flight has been indicated. In this experiment, we maintained captive wildtype budgerigars Melopsittacus undulatus on enhanced (EQ) or reduced quality (RQ) diets differing in levels of the dietary antioxidants retinol, vitamin C and α-tocopherol for 12 months. Birds were then regularly trained to perform take-off escape flights, a strenuous and biologically relevant form of exercise. For these adult budgerigars, regular exercise training improved escape flight performance, particularly in males on the EQ diet. In terms of oxidative damage, post-exercise levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), a by-product of lipid peroxidation, were significantly decreased after 9 weeks of flight training than after a single exercise session. Thus, individuals achieved faster escape flights with lower oxidative damage, after training. Also, birds that were fatter for their skeletal size initially had higher post-exercise MDA levels than thinner birds, but this relationship was broken by 9 weeks of flight training. Interestingly, there was no impact of diet quality on levels of MDA, suggesting that improved protection against oxidative damage for all birds was due to an up-regulation of endogenous antioxidant systems. Given their diversity, bird species provide rich research opportunities for investigating the interactions between exercise training, pro-oxidants production and antioxidant defences.  相似文献

To investigate the role of chronic oxidative stress in MPTP neurotoxicity, C57BL mice were maintained 6–8 weeks on diets deficient in nutrients essential to cellular antioxidant defenses, selenium (Se) and alpha-tocopherol (vit E), and the effects on tissue antioxidant status and MPTP toxicity were evaluated relative to controls on supplemented diets. Activities of the major antioxidant enzymes, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase, and superoxide dismutase, and levels of malondialdehyde as a marker for oxidative stress, were measured in brain, lung, liver and blood. Caudate depletion of dopamine and its metabolites served as a measure of MPTP neurotoxicity. For mice on the Se deficient diet, levels of the selenoenzyme GPx decreased from 50% in brain to 90% in blood. No compensatory changes in the activities of the other antioxidant enzymes were observed and addition of vit E to the diet did not alter antioxidant enzyme activities or malondialdehyde levels. In animals not treated with MPTP, the Se deficient diet significantly increased malondialdehyde only in liver. No protective effect of the antioxidant supplements against caudate depletion of dopamine and its metabolites was observed. However, malondialdehyde levels were increased in the brains of MPTP treated mice on the low Se diets, suggesting the possibility of secondary oxidative damage to tissues accompanying the destruction of substantia nigra neurons by MPTP.  相似文献

This study examined changes in neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y2 receptor binding in the brains of C57BL/6 mice in response to different levels of high-fat diets via three dietary intervention methods: high-fat diet, switching from high- to low-fat diet and finally, energy restricted high-fat diet. Forty-five C57Bl/6 male mice were fed a high-fat diet for 8 weeks and then classified as diet-induced obese (DIO) or diet-resistant (DR) mice according to the highest and lowest body weight gainers, respectively. The DIO and DR mice were then randomly divided into three groups each and either continued on their high-fat diet ad libitum (DIO-H and DR-H), changed to a low-fat diet (DIO-L and DR-L) or pair-fed via energy restricted high-fat diet (DIO-P and DR-P) for a further 6 weeks. During the course of this study, body weight, energy intake and plasma peptide YY (PYY) were measured. The study revealed that the replacement of a high-fat diet with a low-fat diet was associated with a significant lowering of ventromedial hypothalamic (VMH) Y2 receptor binding in both the DIO-L and DR-L mice (−37%, −36%), and also a lowered plasma PYY level in the DIO-L mice (−25%). Despite a continued consumption of the high-fat diet, energy restricted pair feeding caused a lower VMH Y2 receptor binding in the obese mice (DIO-P) following weight loss compared to the DR-P mice (−14%). In conclusion, this study showed that changing diets from high- to low-fat can significantly lower the VMH Y2 receptor binding irrespective to the obesity phenotype. Energy restriction, even while on high-fat feeding, can cause a lower VMH Y2 receptor binding compared to DR mice even after body weight loss to similar levels. This suggests either a possible intrinsic nature of the DIO mice or a body weight set-point re-establishment to drive body weight regain.  相似文献
