Oxidative stress plays an important role in hyperthyroidism-induced tissue damage, as well as in development of autoimmune disorders. To clarify influence of thyroid metabolic status and autoimmune factors on blood extracellular indices of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and free radical scavenging in hyperthyroidism, we studied patients with newly diagnosed and untreated Graves' disease without infiltrative ophthalmopathy (17 female and 8 male, aged 41.8±8.9) and toxic multinodular goiter (15 female and 9 male, aged 48.4±10.1) under the same antithyroid treatment protocol. Initially and after achievement of stable euthyroidism with methimazole, plasma levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), lipid hydroperoxides (ROOH) and ceruloplasmin (CP) and serum concentrations of thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS) were determined. Similarly, activities of plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) were assayed. The results were compared to those of age- and sex-matched controls. Average duration of hyperthyroidism and treatment period were similar in both patients groups. H2O2, ROOH and TBARS concentrations were significantly higher in hyperthyroid patients compared to controls. Hyperthyroidism caused an evident increase in SOD and CAT activities and CP level, as well as a decrease in GPx and GR activities. Achievement of euthyroidism resulted in normalization of all analyzed parameters in both hyperthyroid patients groups. These findings suggest that the changes in blood extracellular indices of oxidative stress and free radical scavenging in hyperthyroid patients are influenced by thyroid metabolic status, and are not directly dependent on autoimmune factors present in Graves' disease.  相似文献

In the present study, triphlorethol-A, a phlorotannin, was isolated from Ecklonia cava and its antioxidant properties were investigated. Triphlorethol-A was found to scavenge intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, and thus prevented lipid peroxidation. The radical scavenging activity of triphlorethol-A protected the Chinese hamster lung fibroblast (V79-4) cells exposed to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) against cell death, via the activation of ERK protein. Furthermore, triphlorethol-A reduced the apoptotic cells formation induced by H2O2. Triphlorethol-A increased the activities of cellular antioxidant enzymes like, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Hence, from the present study, it is suggestive that triphlorethol-A protects V79-4 cells against H2O2 damage by enhancing the cellular antioxidative activity.  相似文献

Trehalose is known to protect membranes and macromolecules. Its accumulation has been implicated in allowing plants to tolerate stress, including heat-shock. However, under heat-shock, it is not clear whether trehalose eliminates reactive oxygen species (ROS) directly or indirectly by protecting antioxidant enzymes. In this study, we initially examined the effects of trehalose on the activities of key antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutases (SODs), ascorbate catalases (CATs), and ascorbate peroxidases (APX) from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and then measured the ability of trehalose to scavenge hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anions (O2). Our results indicated that trehalose protected SOD activity slightly. However, it inhibited CAT and APX activities under heat stress, with a little protection of CAT activity (only about 7% promotion) at 22 °C. Moreover, trehalose scavenged H2O2 and O2 greatly in a concentration-dependent manner, reaching the maximal scavenging H2O2 rate of 95% and O2 rate of 78%, respectively, at 50 mM trehalose. These results suggest that trehalose plays a direct role in eliminating H2O2 and O2 in wheat under heat stress.  相似文献

报道了干旱胁迫下外源24-表油菜素内酯(EBR)对辣椒幼苗叶片H2O2和MDA含量,抗氧化酶活性,以及耐旱相关基因表达的影响。结果表明,0.1 μmol·L-1 EBR处理诱导了辣椒幼苗叶片H2O2含量的增加,并提高了SOD、APX、CAT、DHAR、MDAR和GR活性;干旱胁迫下,EBR处理显著诱导了辣椒叶片抗氧化酶活性的增加,并抑制了H2O2和MDA含量的上升;EBR处理也促进了cAPX和MDAR等抗氧化酶基因的表达,以及WRKY3、WRKY6和MYB等转录因子的表达。由此认为,适宜浓度的外源EBR可能是通过信号分子H2O2调控辣椒叶片中WRKY和MYB等转录因子的表达以调控相关耐旱基因表达,增强细胞的抗氧化酶活性,减轻干旱造成的膜质过氧化伤害,从而增强了辣椒幼苗的耐旱性。  相似文献

The following parameters related to oxygen free radicals (OFR) were determined in erythrocytes and the epidermis of hairless rats: catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione, glutathione S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). GSH, GSSG and TBARS were also analyzed in plasma. In erythrocytes, the Pearson correlation coefficients (r) were significant (p < 0.001) between glutathione and other parameters as follows: GSH correlated negatively with GSSG (r = -0.665) and TBARS (r = -0.669); GSSG correlated positively with SOD (r = 0.709) and TBARS (r = 0.752). Plasma GSSG correlated negatively with erythrocytic thermostable GST activity (r = -0.608; p=0.001) and with erythrocytic total GST activity (r = -0.677; p < 0.001). In epidermis (p < 0.001 in all cases), GSH content correlated with GSSG (r = 0.682) and with GPx (r = 0.663); GSSG correlated with GPx (r = 0.731) and with GR (r = 0.794). By multiple linear regression analysis some predictor variables (R(2)) were found: in erythrocytes, thermostable GST was predicted by total GST activity and GSSG, GSSG content was predicted by GSH and by the GSH/GSSG ratio and GPx activity was predicted by GST, CAT and SOD activities; in epidermis, GSSG was predicted by GR and SOD activities and GR was predicted by GSSG, TBARS and GPx. It is concluded that the hairless rat is a good model for studying OFR-related parameters simultaneously in blood and skin, and that it may provide valuable information about other animals under oxidative stress.  相似文献

Hyperthyroidism is characterized by increased bone turnover and resorptive activity. Raised levels of serum osteoporotic cytokines, such as interleukin (IL) -1beta, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha have been demonstrated previously in hyperthyroidism. These elevations are controversial and it is difficult to differentiate the contribution of thyroid hormones to the elevation of cytokines from that of the autoimmune inflammation in Graves' disease (GD) and follicular cell damage in thyroiditis. Therefore, we investigated the effect of thyroid hormones on serum IL-1beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha levels and bone metabolism on L-thyroxine induced hyperthyroid rats and changes in cytokine levels and bone metabolism on the same rats after reversal to euthyroidism. Rats were treated with L-thyroxine for 5 weeks (0.4 mg/ 100 g food). Plasma T3, T4, TSH and serum IL-1beta, IL-6, TNFalpha, Calcium (Ca), phosphorous (P), parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP) levels were measured and differential leucocyte counts were made initially, at the 5th week of the experiment (hyperthyroid state) and 5 weeks after quitting the administration of L-thyroxine (euthyroid state). Significant rises in serum IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNFalpha were noted in hyperthyroidism (P < 0.001). In euthyroid state, IL-15, IL-6 and TNFalpha decreased significantly, but IL-beta and TNFalpha were significantly higher than the baseline values (P < 0.05) while IL-6 levels turned back to the baseline values. Plasma T3 and T4 levels were significantly correlated with serum cytokines in hyperthyroid state while there was no correlation in euthyroid states. Ca and P levels did not differ significantly while PTH levels declined significantly in the hyperthyroid state (P < 0.05). After the reversal to the euthyroidism, there was no significant change in Ca, P and PTH levels. ALP and B-ALP increased significantly in hyperthyroidism (P < 0.001, P < 0.01) and they did not decrease in euthyroid state. The lymphocyte number and ratio in differentials increased significantly in the hyperthyroid state (P < 0.001). In euthyroidism they decreased significantly (P < 0.001) but it was significantly higher than the baseline value (P < 0.05). Our findings showed that the deleterious effect on bone metabolism in hyperthyroidism might be mediated by cytokines and the increased bone turnover in hyperthyroidism failed to decrease despite euthyroidism.  相似文献

Ceruloplasmin (CP) is a blue copper glycoprotein with multiple physiological functions including ferroxidase and oxidase activities. CP is also an important serum oxygen free radical (OFR) scavenger and antioxidant, exerting cardioprotective and antifibrillatory actions. Although it has been reported that CP activities can be inhibited by OFR, the intimate mechanism of this inactivation is still not clear. Exposure of bovine CP to H2O2 induced inactivation of the protein as well as structural alterations as indicated by loss of protein bands by SDS-PAGE. Both phenomena were H2O2 concentration and time dependent. HPLC gel filtration and capillary electrophoresis analysis of CP treated with H2O2 revealed an aggregation of the protein. Quantification of dityrosine formation by fluorescence indicated the involvement of dityrosine bridging, which could be responsible for aggregation of CP under oxidative attack. Oxidative damage to CP under H2O2 treatment was completely prevented by pyruvate, suggesting that the association of CP with antioxidants could extend the range of the protective action of this protein.  相似文献

Cadmium (Cd) is a non-redox toxic heavy metal present in the environment and induces oxidative stress in plants. We investigated whether exogenous nitric oxide (NO) supplementation as sodium nitroprusside (SNP) has any ameliorating action against Cd-induced oxidative damage in plant roots and thus protective role against Cd toxicity. Cd treatment (50 or 250 μM) alone or in combination with 200 μM SNP was given to hydroponically grown wheat roots for a short time period of 24 h and then these were shifted to distilled water to observe changes in levels of oxidative markers (lipid peroxidation, H2O2 content and electrolyte leakage). Supplementation of Cd with SNP significantly reduced the Cd-induced lipid peroxidation, H2O2 content and electrolyte leakage in wheat roots. It indicated a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity of NO. However, even upon removal of Cd-treatment solution, the levels of oxidative markers increased during 24 h recovery stage and later at 48 h these decreased. Cd treatment resulted in an upregulation of activities of antioxidant enzymes—superoxide dismutase (SOD, 1.15.1.1), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX, 1.11.1.7), catalase (CAT, 1.11.1.6), and glutathione reductase (GR, 1.6.4.2). SNP supply resulted in a reduction in Cd-induced increased activities of scavenging enzymes. The protective role of exogenous NO in decreasing Cd-induced oxidative damage was also evident from the histochemical localization of lipid peroxidation, plasma membrane integrity and superoxides. The study concludes that an exogenous supply of NO protects wheat roots from Cd-induced toxicity.  相似文献

Oxygen radical generating systems, namely, Cu(II)/ H2O2, Cu(II)/ascorbate, Cu(II)/NAD(P)H, Cu(II)/ H2O2/catecholamine and Cu(II)/H2O2/SH-compounds irreversibly inhibited yeast glutathione reductase (GR) but Cu(II)/H2O2 enhanced the enzyme diaphorase activity. The time course of GR inactivation by Cu(II)/H2O2 depended on Cu(II) and H2O2 concentrations and was relatively slow, as compared with the effect of Cu(II)/ascorbate. The fluorescence of the enzyme Tyr and Trp residues was modified as a result of oxidative damage. Copper chelators, catalase, bovine serum albumin and HO˙ scavengers prevented GR inactivation by Cu(II)/H2O2 and related systems. Cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, N-(2-dimercaptopropi-onylglycine and penicillamine enhanced the effect of Cu(II)/H2O2 in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. GSH, Captopril, dihydrolipoic acid and dithiotreitol also enhanced the Cu(II)/H2O2 effect, their actions involving the simultaneous operation of pro-oxidant and antioxidant reactions. GSSG and try-panothione disulfide effectively protected GR against Cu(II)/H2O2 inactivation. Thiol compounds prevented GR inactivation by the radical cation ABTS*+. GR inactivation by the systems assayed correlated with their capability for HO* radical generation. The role of amino acid residues at GR active site as targets for oxygen radicals is discussed.  相似文献

为了解气体信号硫化氢(H2S)对盐碱胁迫下裸燕麦(Avena nuda)活性氧(ROS)代谢的调节效应,筛选和确定H2S最佳的施用时期和适宜浓度。采用盆栽土培试验,研究了在裸燕麦不同时期(幼苗期、拔节期、抽穗期、开花期和灌浆期)喷施0、25、50、100、200、400 μmol·L-1 H2S供体硫氢化钠(NaHS)对3.0 g·kg-1盐碱混合 (NaCl∶Na2SO4∶NaHCO3∶Na2CO3摩尔比为12∶8∶9∶1)胁迫下裸燕麦叶片H2S含量、H2S生成关键酶L-半胱氨酸脱巯基酶(LCD)活性和ROS代谢相关物质含量和酶活性的影响。结果表明:喷施时期和NaHS浓度及其交互作用对盐碱胁迫下裸燕麦叶片中H2S、超氧阴离子()、过氧化氢(H2O2)、丙二醛(MDA)、抗坏血酸(AsA)和谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量及LCD、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)、抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)和谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性存在显著影响。与喷施0 μmol?L-1 NaHS相比,喷施一定浓度NaHS能够提高H2S、AsA、GSH含量和LCD、SOD、CAT、POD、APX和GR活性,减少、H2O2和MDA积累,但以上各指标最佳的喷施时期和NaHS浓度存在差异。隶属函数综合分析显示,在幼苗期和拔节期喷施25~200 μmol?L-1 NaHS的综合评价值(D)最高,表明在幼苗—拔节期喷施25~200 μmol?L-1 NaHS能更好提高ROS清除能力,从而缓解盐碱胁迫诱导ROS对裸燕麦的氧化伤害。  相似文献

Impaired antioxidant mechanisms are unable to inactivate free radicals that may induce a number of pathophysiological processes and result in cell injury. Thus, any abnormality in antioxidant defense systems could affect neurodevelopmental processes and could have an important role in the etiology of cerebral palsy (CP). The plasma levels of lipid peroxidation as plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GR) in plasma and erythrocytes were investigated in 34 CP children and compared with 61 normal controls. SOD, GPx and GR activities were spectrophotometrically assayed. Activities of SOD, GPx and GR in plasma did not differ significantly between CP children and the control group. Activities of erythrocyte GR in the CP patients were significantly lower compared with controls. MDA concentration did not differ statistically between the CP children and healthy subjects. In conclusion our results suggest that increased activities of erythrocyte GPx and decreased erythrocyte GR activities might be due to lesser physical activity of children with CP.  相似文献

We studied the effect of glycine supplementation on lipid peroxidation and antioxidants in the erythrocyte membrane, plasma and hepatocytes of rats with alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity. Administering ethanol (20%) for 60 days to male Wistar rats resulted in significantly elevated levels of erythrocyte membrane, plasma and hepatocyte thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) as compared with those of the experimental control rats. Decreased activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) were also observed on alcohol supplementation as compared with those of the experimental control rats. Glycine was administered at a dose of 0.6 g kg(-1) body weight to rats with alcohol-induced liver injury, which significantly decreased the levels of TBARS and significantly elevated the activities of SOD, CAT, GSH, GPx and GR in the erythrocyte membrane, plasma and hepatocytes as compared to that of untreated alcohol supplemented rats. Thus, our data indicate that supplementation with glycine offers protection against free radical-mediated oxidative stress in the erythrocyte membrane, plasma and hepatocytes of animals with alcohol-induced liver injury.  相似文献

The present study evaluated the effects of hyperthyroid state on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes in the crude (CF), post nuclear (PNF) and mitochondrial fractions (MF) of the fish liver. The in vivo injection of T3 (200ng) did not change the lipid peroxidation products, malondialdehyde (MDA) and conjugated dienes (CD), while actinomycin D (10microg), a potent mRNA inhibitor when administered with T3 increased them. The antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) had an increased activity in CF and MF of hyperthyroid group to compete the increased oxidative stress, but actinomycin D partially inhibited the T3-induced activity. SOD and CAT activities in PNF of hyperthyroid group had no change, the glutathione concentration varied depending on the GPx and GR activity. Hyperthyroidism decreased the protein content, while simultaneous administration of actinomycin D inhibited the T3 action of elevating the protein content. The results suggest that the antioxidant defense status in A. testudineus is modulated by thyroid hormone, through an action sensitive to actinomycin D.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Oxygen free radicals (OFR) play a role in the pathogenesis of tissue damage in many pathological conditions via the peroxidation of membrane phospholipids. Experimental studies showed an elevated oxidative stress during hyperthyroidism, which is reduced by treatment. Therapy per se might decrease oxidative stress. DESIGN: Fasting plasma levels of thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS), vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 were measured in 22 hyperthyroid patients, before treatment for their thyroid disease, after 13.9 [SD 9.2] weeks, when they achieved an euthyroid state on thyrostatic drugs, and again after 47.7 [21.0] weeks, off therapy. No patient presented additional risk factors for increased lipoperoxidation and/or increased OFR levels. Smokers were asked to abstain from smoking overnight. METHODS: All analytes were measured by HPLC. RESULTS: In hyperthyroidism, plasma levels of TBARS were increased, whereas vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 were reduced. Average levels of TBARS and antioxidant agents returned to normal in euthyroid patients, without differences in relation to stop of thyrostatic therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Our data confirm the presence of oxidative stress and decreased anti-oxidant metabolites in hyperthyroid patients, which are corrected in euthyroidism, without any influence of thyrostatic drugs per se. Nutritional support with antioxidant agents, which are defective during hyperthyroidism, is warranted.  相似文献

High field proton (1H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of biofluids (healthy human blood sera and inflammatory knee-joint synovial fluids) has been employed to evaluate the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)- and hydroxyl radical (°OH)- scavenging antioxidant capacities of a range of polar, low-molecular-mass endogenous metabolites therein. Data obtained indicate that consumption of H2O2 by pyruvate (generating acetate and CO2 via an oxidative decarboxylation reaction) and °OH radical by lactate (generating pyruvate, and subs quently acetate and CO2) may serve to protect alternative biofluid components (e.g., macromolecules) against reactive oxygen species-mediated oxidative damage in vivo. The mechanistic, physiological and potential therapeutic implications of these results are discussed with special reference to inflammatory joint diseases.  相似文献
