Effects of Se, Cu and Se + vitamin E deficiency on the activities of CuZnSOD, GSH-Px, CAT and LPO levels in chicken erythrocytes

Antioxidant enzymes and vitamins provide a defence against the damage of cells by reactive oxygen species in living systems. The effect of Cu, Se and vitamin E deficiencies on the antioxidant enzyme activities and lipid peroxide levels of chicken erythrocytes were investigated during 6 weeks of a depletion diet. CuZnSOD activity and the plasma Cu level of the Cu-deficient group which was fed a diet containing 0.2 mg Cu x kg(-1) were reduced to 62 and 71% respectively. GSH-Px activity of the Se-deficient group was decreased by 46% but by 21% in the Cu-deficient group. CAT activity values of Se- and Cu-deficient groups were increased by 28 and 10% respectively. The maximum increase of LPO levels in erythrocyte membranes was observed as 32% for the Se+E-deficient group. The LPO level of the Cu-deficient group which had decreased CuZnSOD and GSH-Px activity, was also observed to be significantly increased when compared with the controls (p < 0.05).     

Glutathione redox system,GSH-Px activity and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels in tadpoles of R.r.ridibunda and B.viridis

Total glutathione (t-GSH), reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione disulphide (GSSG) levels, t-GSH/GSSG ratio, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels were investigated during the development period of a predominantly aquatic amphibian R.r.ridibunda and a predominantly terrestrial amphibian B. viridis. While t-GSH and GSH showed a similar trend, GSSG concentration increased significantly (p<0.05) during the larval stages in R.r.ridibunda larvae. In contrast to R.r.ridibunda larvae, there was no significant (p>0.05) change between 1 and 5 weeks in the t-GSH and GSH concentrations of B. viridis. t-GSH and GSH concentrations of B. viridis larvae became sharply elevated after the fifth week, GSSG levels increased 3.25-fold during the metamorphosis. The t-GSH/GSSG ratio fluctuated and the lowest t-GSH/GSSG ratios were observed at the third week for both species. GSH-Px activities for both species increased significantly (p<0.05) during the growing period. The highest GSH-Px activities in R.r.ridibunda and B.viridis were observed at the eighth week and they were 3.45 +/- 0.17 and 4.1 +/- 0.21 IU mg(-1), respectively. The membrane LPO levels in the R.r.ridibunda and B. viridis tadpoles significantly (p<0.001) decreased from 206 +/- 10.3 to 146 +/- 7.3 and from 198 +/- 9.9 to 23 +/- 1.15 nmol MDA g(-1) w.w., respectively.     

Effects of antioxidant vitamins A, C, E and trace elements Cu, Se on CuZn SOD, GSH-Px, CAT and LPO levels in chicken erythrocytes

The biologically damaging effects of reactive oxygen species are controlled in vivo by a wide spectrum of antioxidant defence mechanisms. Dietary constituents of antioxidant vitamins and trace elements may play an important role in protecting against oxidant damage. The effects of supplementation of vitamins A, C, E and trace elements Cu and Se on the activities of antioxidant enzymes and lipid peroxide levels in chicken erythrocytes were investigated depend on the time. CuZnSOD activity and plasma Cu levels in the Cu group were increased by 39 and 37 per cent respectively. CuZnSOD activity in vitamin C groups was also increased by 20 per cent. The GSH-Px activity in Se, Se+E and Se+Cu groups was raised by 35, 46 and 69 per cent respectively. Also, the GSH-Px activity in the vitamin C group was increased by 33 per cent. Catalase activity in all of these groups was not significantly different when compared with controls (p<0.01). The maximum decrease in LPO levels of 42 per cent was obtained for the Se+E group.     

磷化氢对赤拟谷盗成虫体内CAT和SOD活性的影响

用赤拟谷盗Tribolium castaneum(Herbst)成虫,研究PH3对其体内超氧化物岐化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性的影响。结果表明PH3熏蒸后,4种不同地理种群的成虫体内,CAT酶活性都有所降低。种群NGD1降低最多,接近57%,而NGD4则只降低了19%,NGD2和NGD3的降低都在40%左右。不同地理种群的成虫体内,SOD酶活性在熏蒸后都有所增加,种群NGD1增加幅度最大,NGD2增加幅度最小。SOD和CAT活性的变化幅度与成虫对PH3产生的抗性有关,抗性越大,酶活性变化越大。     

Lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzyme levels in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder

Recent data from several reports indicate that free radicals are involved in aetiopathogenesis of many human pathologies including neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder etc. In the present study, we aimed at determining and evaluating levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), a product of lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity levels in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (n = 25) and bipolar disorder (n = 23). The control group was composed of 20 healthy subjects. There was a significant increase in MDA levels of patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder compared with controls. SOD and GSH-Px activity levels were significantly higher in the schizophrenic group compared with controls. SOD activity levels in bipolar the group were significantly higher than controls whereas there were no significant changes in GSH-Px activity levels in the bipolar group and controls. Significant differences between lipid peroxidation product and antioxidant enzyme (SOD and GSH-Px) activity levels in schizophrenic and bipolar disorder patients compared with controls leads us to believe that these differences are related to the heterogenities in aetiologies of these disorders.     

小鼠不同负荷游泳后LPO和SOD动态变化研究

本文研究小鼠游泳９０分钟后不同时间ＬＰＯ和ＳＯＤ动态变化及小鼠游泳后２ｈｒ、３ｈｒ、４ｈｒ后对ＬＰＯ和ＳＯＤ水平的影响。结果表明小鼠游泳９０今后ＳＯＤ酶活性高于游泳前,而ＬＰＯ水平在游泳后４ｈｒ内持续低于游泳前。证明游泳１．５ｈｒ使自由基损伤减少（ＣＰ＜０．０５）。小鼠游泳２ｈｒ、３ｈｒ、４ｈｒ后ＳＯＤ酶活性随游泳时间延长而降低,ＬＰＯ则持续增高,表明超负荷运动,机体不能清除自由基,不利于健康。     

低温胁迫下嫁接对黄瓜叶片SOD和CAT基因表达与活性变化的影响水

研究了低温胁迫下嫁接和自根黄瓜叶片Mn-SOD、Cu/Zn-SOD和CAT mRNA基因表达和酶活性变化及其与抗冷性的关系.结果表明:低温胁迫下,嫁接与自根黄瓜叶片Cu/Zn-SOD、Mn-SOD mRNA基因相对表达量变化分别与其Cu/Zn-SOD、Mn-SOD活性变化相吻合,而CATmRNA相对表达量变化与其CAT活性变化并不一致;嫁接黄瓜叶片Cu/Zn-SOD和Mn-SOD mRNA相对表达量及SOD、Cu/Zn-SOD和Mn-SOD活性均高于自根黄瓜,MDA含量和电解质渗漏率均低于自根黄瓜,嫁接黄瓜较高的SOD基因表达量调控的较高SOD活性是其抗冷性强于自根黄瓜的主要因素;嫁接黄瓜的功能叶CAT mRNA相对表达量略高于自根黄瓜,而幼叶CAT mRNA相对表达量低于后者,但两者CAT活性差异不大,说明低温胁迫对嫁接黄瓜叶片CAT mRNA相对表达量及CAT活性的影响不大.

The relationship between total sialic acid levels and antioxidant status in the tadpoles of Bufo viridis and Rana ridibunda ridibunda

Total sialic acid levels (TSA), antioxidant enzymes activities such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels were investigated during the developmental period in tadpoles of the predominantly terrestrial amphibian B. viridis and the predominantly aquatic amphibian R. r. ridibunda. Maximum TSA levels were observed in B. viridis and R. r. ridibunda at the fifth and third week of their development, respectively. SOD and CAT activity variations during development in B. viridis were higher than in R. r. ridibunda. Although SOD activity in B. viridis was higher than R. r. ridibunda at the eighth week, SOD activity increased 19.2-fold in R. r. ridibunda and 10.4-fold in B. viridis between the first and eighth week. CAT activity in R. r. ridibunda did not significantly change (p>0.001) until the fifth week then increased, whereas in B. viridis CAT increased after the third week. In contrast to the rise in the antioxidant enzyme activities, LPO levels tended to decrease during the developmental period. Levels of LPO showed a similar trend until the third week for both species. The minimum LPO levels in B. viridis and R. r. ridibunda were 23+/-1.2 and 146+/-7.3 nmol MDA g(-1) tissue, at the eighth week, respectively. While decreasing LPO levels correlated with increasing antioxidant enzyme activities, TSA tended to decrease after reaching a maximum point.     

斜纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒与两种亚致死剂量的农药混用对斜纹夜蛾体内三种抗氧化酶活性的影响

杂交稻及其三系叶片衰老过程中SOD、CAT活性和MDA含量的变化

对杂交水稻及其三系主茎第11叶叶片自然衰老过程中超氧物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和丙二醛(MDA)含量的变化进行了研究,结果表明:叶片衰老过程中,SOD和CAT活性下降,MDA的含量增加,可作为衰老特征的叶绿素和可溶性蛋白质含量明显下降;SOD的活性和MDA的含量变化相对应;CAT活性大幅度下降与SOD之间的不平衡,致使O_2~-代谢中间产物累积而引起膜的损伤。不育系的衰老进程比杂交水稻、恢复系和保持系慢,其SOD和CAT活性明显高于其它三者,可能是不育系不易早衰的原因之一。     

锌胁迫对铜锈环棱螺致死率、富集性、CAT和SOD活性的影响

以浙江省温州市瓯海茶山某河内的铜锈环棱螺Bellamya aeruginosa为受试生物,研究了不同浓度Zn2+胁迫下,铜锈环棱螺的致死效应、铜锈环棱螺对锌的富集性以及锌对铜锈环棱螺体内的过氧化氢酶(CAT)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性的影响.结果表明Zn2+对铜锈环棱螺具有较大的毒害影响.当Zn2+浓度达到3.0 mg/L时,就会引起个别铜锈环棱螺死亡,死亡率为2.66％.随着Zn2+浓度的增大(0.3 mg/L到2.4 mg/L)和处理时间的增加(2d到8d),除个别组外,铜锈环棱螺对锌的累积量均随之上升,具有一定的时间效应和剂量效应.铜锈环棱螺在锌胁迫下,肝胰腺的CAT和SOD活性受到较大的影响.当Zn2+浓度较低时,CAT和SOD活性均有较大的升高,但当Zn2+浓度较高时,CAT和SOD活性则受到一定的抑制.     

冷害过程中黄瓜叶片SOD、CAT和POD活性的变化

实验选用3个耐冷力不同的黄瓜品种研究其叶片超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）和过氧化物酶（POD）等3种抗氧化酶活性在冷害过程中的变化。结果表明：低温胁迫期间的CAT和POD活性与黄瓜叶片的耐冷力表现一致,SOD活性则与其耐冷力表现相反。低温胁迫后,3个品种的所有3种抗氧化酶活性均降低,叶片表现出明显的冷害症状,但耐冷力较高的津优10号仍然具有相对较高的CAT活性。恢复期的SOD活性无显著性变化;耐冷力最弱的津研4号和耐冷力中等的津绿3号的CAT活性上升而津优10号的CAT活性降低;3个品种的POD活性都增高,但津研4号的上升幅度明显高于其它2个品种,可能与POD能催化活性氧（ROS）产生有关。     

Comparison of the selenium level with GSH-Px activity in the liver of mice treated with 7,12 DMBA

In this study, the relationship between selenium (Se) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) levels was investigated in 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (7,12-DMBA)-treated mouse liver. The potential mammary carcinogen 7,12-DMBA, was injected intraperitoneally (20 mg kg(-1) day(-1)) into 10-12 month old female mice. After 21 days of application the mice were sacrificed and GSHPx and Se levels of liver homogenates were measured. Se and GSHPx levels in 7,12-DMBA-treated mice were significantly lower than those of controls (p < 0.05). The control group exhibited 0.9 +/- 0.066 U mg(-1) protein and 0.86 +/- 0.058 p.p.m. levels of GSHPx and Se respectively. The 7,12-DMBA-treated group had significantly (p < 0.05) decreased GSHPx and Se levels (0.42 +/- 0.062 U mg(-1) protein and 0.69 +/- 0.034 p.p.m. respectively). The results show a direct relationship between Se and GSHPx activity and a negative correlation between antioxidant capacity and existence of a carcinogen in metabolism.     

水分胁迫对2种生态型芦苇（Phragmites communis）的可溶性蛋白含量、SOD、POD、CAT活性的影响

研究利用2种抗旱性迥异的芦苇为材料,用PEG6000进行水分胁迫处理,结果表明,抗旱性强的沙丘芦苇（沙芦）的可溶性蛋白含量明显低于沼泽芦苇（水芦）,约为水芦的1／5。但是,在受到20％PEG胁迫时,沙芦的可溶性蛋白含量有所上升,水芦的则稍微下降,在30％PEG胁迫时,水芦的可溶性蛋白含量显著下降,而沙芦则先升后降。沙芦的3种自由基清除酶（SOD、POD、CAT）的活性显著高于水芦。受到水分胁迫后,2种芦苇的SOD、POD、CAT活性或升或降。但是,无论在20％还是30％PEG胁迫条件下,相对水芦而言,沙芦都保持较高的自由其清除酶活性,从而保证其较强的自由基清除能力,减轻自由基对植物细胞生物大分子如DNA、蛋白质、脂肪酸的伤害,维持细胞正常的生命活动,这是沙芦抗旱性强的基础。     

镉胁迫对大弹涂鱼肝脏黄螵呤氧化酶和抗氧化酶活性的影响

Effect of melatonin on oxidative status of rat brain, liver and kidney tissues under constant light exposure

An enormous amount of data has been published in recent years demonstrating melatonin's defensive role against toxic free radicals. In the present study, we examined the role of melatonin as an antioxidant against the effect of continuous light exposure. Rats were divided into three groups. Control rats (group A) were kept under natural conditions whereas other group of rats (group B and C) were exposed to constant light for inhibition of melatonin secretion by the pineal gland. Group C rats also received melatonin via s.c. injection (1 mg x kg(- 1) body weight x day(- 1)). At the end of experiment, all animals were sacrificied by decapitation, serum and tissue samples were removed for determination of malondialdehyde (MDA), a product of lipid peroxidation, conjugated dienes levels and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity levels. It was found that lipid peroxidation was increased in the rats which were exposed to constant light. Melatonin injection caused a decrease in lipid peroxidation, especially in the brain. In addition, melatonin application resulted in increased GSH-Px activity, which has an antioxidant effect. Thus, melatonin is not only a direct scavenger of toxic radicals, but also stimulates the antioxidative enzyme GSH-Px activity to detoxify hydroxyl radical produced by constant light exposure.
