The monoclonal antibody to N(epsilon)-(hexanonyl)lysine (HEL), a novel adduct formed by the reaction of linoleic acid hydroperoxide and lysine, has been prepared and characterized. The obtained antibody specifically recognized the HEL moiety. Using the monoclonal antibody, we evaluated the protective effects of feeding eriocitrin, which is one of flavonoids in lemon fruit, on oxidative modification induced by exercise in rats. The supplementation of eriocitrin significantly suppressed the increase in HEL in the skeletal muscle by exercise. The result suggests that the determination of HEL may be a good method for evaluation of the protective effect of beneficial food factors against oxidative stress. 相似文献

Melatonin has recently been suggested as an antioxidant that may protect neurons from oxidative stress. Acute ethanol administration produces both lipid peroxidation as an indicator of oxidative stress in the brain and impairs water-maze performance in spatial learning and memory tasks. The present study investigated the effect of melatonin against ethanol-induced oxidative stress and spatial memory impairment. The Morris water maze was used to evaluate the cognitive functions of rats. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), which are the indicators of lipid peroxidation, and the activities of antioxidative enzymes (glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase) were measured in the rat hippocampus and prefrontal cortex which form interconnected neural circuits for spatial memory. Acute administration of ethanol significantly increased TBARS levels in the hippocampus. Combined melatonin-ethanol treatment caused a significant increase in glutathione peroxidase activities and a significant decrease of TBARS in the rat hippocampus. In the prefrontal cortex, there was only a significant decrease of TBARS levels in the combined melatonin-ethanol receiving group as compared to the ethanol-treated group. Melatonin did not affect the impairment of spatial memory due to acute ethanol exposure, but melatonin alone had a positive effect on water maze performances. Our study demonstrated that melatonin decreased ethanol-induced lipid peroxidation and increased glutathione peroxidase activity in the rat hippocampus. 相似文献

Protective effects of dietary cyanidin 3-O-beta-D-glucoside on liver ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We recently reported that feeding cyanidin 3-O-beta-d-glucoside (C3G), a typical anthocyanin pigment, lowered the serum thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) concentration and increased the oxidation resistance of the serum to lipid peroxidation in rats. These results suggest that C3G acts as a potent antioxidant in vivo when acute oxidative stress is encountered. In the present study, we evaluated whether feeding C3G suppresses oxidative injury to the liver caused by hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R), which was used as a model for oxidative stress. Rats were fed a diet containing C3G (2 g/kg diet) for 14 days and then subjected to hepatic I/R. I/R treatment elevated the liver TBARS concentration and the serum activities of marker enzymes (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and lactate dehydrogenase) for liver injury and lowered the liver reduced glutathione concentration. Feeding C3G significantly suppressed these changes caused by hepatic I/R. Although the liver ascorbic acid concentration was also lowered by hepatic I/R, feeding C3G restored this concentration more quickly compared to the control rats. These results indicate that orally administered C3G suppresses I/R-induced oxidative damage and suggest that C3G functions as a potent antioxidant in vivo under oxidative stress. 相似文献

The protective effects of carvedilol, an antihypertensive agent, against oxidative injury caused by acetaminophen were studied in rat liver. Male Wistar rats (250 +/- 30 g) were pre-treated with carvedilol (3.6 mg/kg, p.o.) for 10 days and on the 11th day received an overdose of acetaminophen (800 mg/kg, p.o.). Four hours after acetaminophen administration, blood was collected to determine serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). After that, rats were killed and the livers were excised to determine reduced glutathione (GSH), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and carbonyl protein contents, and the activity of the antioxidant enzymes catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione S-transferase (GST), and also the DNA damage index. Acetaminophen significantly increased the levels of TBARS, the DNA damage and SOD, AST and ALT activities. Carvedilol was able to prevent lipid peroxidation, protein carbonilation and DNA fragmentation caused by acetaminophen. Moreover, this drug prevented increases in SOD, AST and ALT activities. These results show that carvedilol exerts cytoprotective effects against oxidative injury caused by acetaminophen in rat liver. These effects are probably related to the O2*- scavenging property of carvedilol or its metabolites. 相似文献

We have previously reported that spaceflight and tail suspension enhanced degradation of rat myosin heavy chain (MHC) in association with activation of a ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway [Ikemoto et al., FASEB J. 15 (2001), 1279-1281]. To elucidate whether the ubiquitination is accompanied by oxidative stress, we measured markers for oxidative stress, such as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG), in gastrocnemius muscle of tail-suspended rats. Glutathione (GSH) concentration in the muscle significantly decreased from day 5 and reached a minimum value on day 10. Tail suspension reciprocally increased concentrations of TBARS and GSSG in parallel with enhancement of protein ubiquitination, suggesting that oxidative stress may play an important role in protein ubiquitination caused by tail suspension. To prevent ubiquitination associated with oxidative stress, we also administered an antioxidative nutrient, cysteine, to tail-suspended rats. Intragastric supplementation of 140 mg/rat of cysteine for 2 weeks or longer normalized the ratio of GSH to GSSG in the muscle and suppressed protein ubiquitination and MHC fragmentation, compared with supplementation of the equimolar amount of alanine. The cysteine supplementation significantly suppressed the loss of hindlimb muscle mass. Our results suggest that supplementation of antioxidative nutrients, such as cysteine, may be beneficial for preventing ubiquitination of muscle proteins caused by unweighting. 相似文献

The abuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) to enhance physical performance is widespread in sport communities despite their reported side effects. Since the biochemical bases for the hepatotoxic effects of these compounds are largely unknown, this investigation was aimed at testing whether prolonged (8 weeks) treatment with high doses (2 mg kg−1 body weight; 5 d wk−1) of stanozolol (ST), either alone or in conjunction with treadmill-exercise training, induced changes in oxidative stress biomarker levels and antioxidant defence systems in rat liver. After ST oral administration, the mean values of serum parameters related to hepatic function were within normal ranges. No changes in protein carbonyl content and in the reduced to oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratio were detected in liver homogenates of ST-treated rats, whereas thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) levels resulted increased (P<0.05). Total superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities were higher (P<0.05) in the liver of treated rats but mitochondrial SOD and glutathione reductase (GR) activities, and the 72 kDa heat shock protein (HSP72) level were not modified. Chronic exercise alone did not change any of the above parameters except for a remarkable enhancement of HSP72 expression; in no case training modified the effects of ST treatment. The present data show that 8 wk ingestion of ST, either with or without concurrent exercise training, can induce oxidative stress in rat liver despite the up-regulation of enzymatic antioxidant activities. 相似文献

Changes in the activity of so-called oxidative stress defensive enzymes, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and heme oxygenase, as well as changes in lipid peroxidation and reduced glutathione levels, were measured in guinea pig and rat liver after acute cobalt loading. Cobalt chloride administration produced a much higher degree of lipid peroxidation in guinea pig than in rat liver compared with the control animals. The intrahepatic reduced glutathione content in control guinea pig was higher than that in rat, but was equally decreased in both species after cobalt administration. The enzymatic scavengers of free radicals, superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase, were significantly decreased in rat liver after acute cobalt loading, and as a compensatory reaction, the heme oxygenase activity was increased (seven-fold). In guinea pig liver, only superoxide dismutase activity was depleted in response to cobalt-induced oxidative stress, while catalase and glutathione peroxidase were highly activated and the heme oxygenase activity was dramatically increased (13-fold). It is assumed that enhanced heme oxygenase activity may have important antioxidant significance by increasing the liver oxidative-stress defense capacity. 相似文献

Tamoxifen citrate is an anti-estrogenic drug used for the treatment of breast cancer. It showed a degree of hepatic carcinogenesis, when it used for long term as it can decrease the hexose monophosphate shunt and thereby increasing the incidence of oxidative stress in liver rat cells leading to liver injury. In this study, a model of liver injury in female rats was done by intraperitoneal injection of tamoxifen in a dose of 45 mg/kg body weight for 7 successive days. This model produced a state of oxidative stress accompanied with liver injury as noticed by significant declines in the antioxidant enzymes (glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase) and reduced glutathione concomitant with significant elevations in TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) and liver transaminases; sGPT (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase) and sGOT (serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase) levels. The oral administration of dimethyl dimethoxy biphenyl dicarboxylate (DDB) in a dose of 200 mg/kg body weight daily for 10 successive days, resulted in alleviation of the oxidative stress status of tamoxifen-intoxicated liver injury in rats as observed by significant increments in the antioxidant enzymes (glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase) and reduced glutathione concomitant with significant decrements in TBARS and liver transaminases; sGPT and sGOT levels. The administration of DDB before tamoxifen intoxication (as protection) is more little effective than its curative effect against tamoxifen-induced liver injury. The data obtained from this study speculated that DDB can mediate its biochemical effects through the enhancement of the antioxidant enzyme activities and reduced glutathione level as well as decreasing lipid peroxides. 相似文献

AbstractAlthough the importance of glutathione in protection against oxidative stress is well recognised, the role of physiological levels of glutathione and other endogenous antioxidants in protecting against exercise-induced oxidative stress is less clear. We evaluated the role of glutathione and selected antioxidant enzymes as determinants of lipid peroxidation at rest and in response to exercise in men (n = 13–14) aged 20–30 years, who cycled for 40 min at 60% of their maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Levels of plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (plasma TBARS) and blood oxidised glutathione (GSSG) increased by about 50% in response to exercise. Mean blood reduced glutathione (GSH)decreased by 13% with exercise. Of the measured red blood cell (RBC)antioxidant enzyme activities, only selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (Se-GPX) activity rose following exercise. In univariate regression analysis, plasma TBARS levels at rest predicted postexercise plasma TBARS and the exercise-induced change in total glutathione (TGSH). Blood GSSG levels at rest were strongly determinant of postexercise levels. Multiple regression analysis showed blood GSH to be a determinant of plasma TBARS at rest. The relative changes in TGSH were determinant of postexercise plasma TBARS. In summary, higher blood GSH and lower plasma TBARS at rest were associated with lower resting, and exercise-induced, lipid peroxidation. Subjects with a favourable blood glutathione redox status at rest maintained a more favourable redox status in response to exercise-induced oxidative stress. Changes in blood GSH and TGSH in response to exercise were closely associated with both resting and exercise-induced plasma lipid peroxidation. These results underscore the critical role of glutathione homeostasis in modulating exercise-induced oxidative stress and, conversely, the effect of oxidative stress at rest on exercise-induced changes in glutathione redox status. 相似文献

The present study was designed to investigate the modulatory effects of black tea polyphenols (Polyphenon-B) on phase I and phase II xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes and oxidative stress in a rat model of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Liver tumours induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by dietary administration of rho-dimethylaminoazobenzene (DAB) increased cytochrome P450 (total and CYP1A1, 1A2 and 2B isoforms), cytochrome b(5), cytochrome b(5) reductase, glutathione S-transferase (GST total and GST-P isoform) and gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) with decrease in quinone reductase (QR). This was accompanied by enhanced lipid and protein oxidation and compromised antioxidant defences associated with increased expression of the oxidative stress markers 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), anti-hexanoyl lysine (HEL), dibromotyrosine (DiBrY) and 8-hydroxy 2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). Dietary administration of Polyphenon-B effectively suppressed DAB-induced hepatocarcinogenesis, as evidenced by reduced preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions, modulation of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes and amelioration of oxidative stress. Thus, it can be concluded that Polyphenon-B acts as an effective chemopreventive agent by modulating xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes and mitigating oxidative stress in an in vivo model of hepatocarcinogenesis. 相似文献

Antioxidants are likely potential pharmaceutical agents for the treatment of alcoholic liver disease. Metallothionein (MT) is a cysteine-rich protein and functions as an antioxidant. This study was designed to determine whether MT confers resistance to acute alcohol-induced hepatotoxicity and to explore the mechanistic link between oxidative stress and alcoholic liver injury. MT-overexpressing transgenic and wild-type mice were administrated three gastric doses of alcohol at 5 g/kg. Liver injury, oxidative stress, and ethanol metabolism-associated changes were determined. Acute ethanol administration in the wild-type mice caused prominent microvesicular steatosis, along with necrosis and elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase. Ultrastructural changes of the hepatocytes include glycogen and fat accumulation, organelle abnormality, and focal cytoplasmic degeneration. This acute alcohol hepatotoxicity was significantly inhibited in the MT-transgenic mice. Furthermore, ethanol treatment decreased hepatic-reduced glutathione, but increased oxidized glutathione along with lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and superoxide generation in the wild-type mice. This hepatic oxidative stress was significantly suppressed in the MT-transgenic mice. However, MT did not affect the ethanol metabolism-associated decrease in NAD(+)/NADH ratio or increase in cytochrome P450 2E1. In conclusion, MT is an effective agent in cytoprotection against alcohol-induced liver injury, and hepatic protection by MT is likely through inhibition of alcohol-induced oxidative stress. 相似文献

Expression of metallothionein in renal tubules of rats exposed to acute and endurance exercise 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The induction of exercise-induced apoptosis in not actively involved in exercise organs, such as kidney could be a result of oxidative stress. Metallothionein (MT) exerts a protective effect in the cell against oxidative stress and apoptosis. We have previously demonstrated an increased incidence of apoptosis in distal tubular cells and collecting ducts in rat kidney after acute exercise. The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that MT may play a protective role in rat renal tubules against exercise-induced apoptosis after the acute exercise and regular training. Male Wistar rats were divided into control, acute exercised and 8-wk regularly trained groups. The kidneys were removed after a rest period of 6 h and 96 h. The ultrastructure of renal tubular cells was examined by electron microscopy. Apoptosis was detected in paraffin sections by the TUNEL technique. Expression of MT was examined by immunohistochemistry. The level of lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances - TBARS) was assayed in renal tissue homogenates. After acute exercise, the occurrence of apoptosis was restricted to distal tubules and collecting ducts of rat kidney, whereas the proximal tubules remained unaffected. The 8-wk training did not result in increased apoptosis in tubular cell. MT expression was confined exclusively to proximal tubules in all groups. However, it was significantly increased in acutely exercised animals, as compared to control and trained rats. After the 8-wk training, MT expression remained unaltered as compared to the control group. TBARS levels were significantly increased after acute exercise, while after regular training they remained unchanged. A significant correlation between TBARS level and MT expression was demonstrated. The findings could suggest a protective role of MT against oxidative stress and apoptosis in proximal tubular cells. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species are important mediators of cellular damage during endotoxic shock. In order to investigate the hepatic response to the oxidative stress induced by endotoxin, hepatic and plasma glutathione (total, GSH and GSSG), GSSG/GSH ratio as well as Mn-superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were determined during the acute and recovery phases of reversible endotoxic shock in the rat. A significant increase in liver and plasma total glutathione content was observed 5 h after endotoxin treatment (acute phase), followed by a diminution of these parameters below control values at 48 h (recovery phase). The significant increases of GSSG levels and GSSG/GSH ratio are indicative of oxidative stress occurring during the acute phase. Liver Mn-SOD activity showed a similar time dependency as the GSSG/GSH ratio; however, a marked decrease in the liver catalase activity was observed during the process. These results indicate the participation of liver glutathione in the response to endotoxin and the possible use of plasma glutathione levels and GSSG/GSH ratio as indicators of the acute phase during the endotoxic process.

We previously showed that naproxen induced the oxidative stress in the liver microsomes and the isolated hepatocytes of rats. In this study, the in situ effect of naproxen on the rat liver tissue was investigated, using the isolated perfused liver from the view-point of the naproxen-induced hepatotoxicity. The leakage of glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) from the perfused liver and appearance of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in the perfusate increased with the progress of perfusion after a lag time of about 1h. The naproxen-perfusion of the liver decreased the biliary excretion of glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione, glutathione disulfide (GSSG) prior to TBARS production and GOT leakage. GSSG content in the naproxen-perfused liver was significantly higher than in the control. TBARS appeared in the perfusate of the naproxen-perfused liver for 30 min, but not in the control. The biliary excretion clearance (CL(bile)) of indocyanine green (ICG), a reagent for testing the liver function, in the liver perfused with naproxen decreased to a half of that in the liver perfused without naproxen. Thus, the naproxen-induced oxidative stress in the liver was shown to affect the physiological function of liver through the impairment of biliary excretion, which is recognized as a detoxification system. 相似文献

New biomarkers for oxidative damage, were used to identify whether hyperglycemia caused oxidative stress in diabetic Akita mice. At 13 weeks of age, the tissues of these mice were obtained, and the levels of N(epsilon)-(hexanonyl)lysine (HEL) and dityrosine (DT) were measured, these being related to lipid peroxide-derived protein covalent modification and protein cross-linking. The levels of HEL and DT in the kidneys of Akita mice were significantly increased compared with the control mice without any accumulation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-modified protein. Immunopositive staining was clearly observed in the kidneys of the Akita mice when using the anti-HEL antibody or anti-DT antibody. These results suggest that hyperglycemia in Akita mice induced oxidative stress and increased these markers in the kidneys. 相似文献

The responses to oxidative stress induced by chronic exercise (8-wk treadmill running) or acute exercise (treadmill running to exhaustion) were investigated in the brain, liver, heart, kidney, and muscles of rats. Various biomarkers of oxidative stress were measured, namely, lipid peroxidation [malondialdehyde (MDA)], protein oxidation (protein carbonyl levels and glutamine synthetase activity), oxidative DNA damage (8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine), and endogenous antioxidants (ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol, glutathione, ubiquinone, ubiquinol, and cysteine). The predominant changes are in MDA, ascorbic acid, glutathione, cysteine, and cystine. The mitochondrial fraction of brain and liver showed oxidative changes as assayed by MDA similar to those of the tissue homogenate. Our results show that the responses of the brain to oxidative stress by acute or chronic exercise are quite different from those in the liver, heart, fast muscle, and slow muscle; oxidative stress by acute or chronic exercise elicits different responses depending on the organ tissue type and its endogenous antioxidant levels. 相似文献

Effects of exercise stress and cold stress on glutathione and gamma-glutamyltransferase in rat liver
H Ohno S Gasa Y Habara A Kuroshima Y Sato N Miyazawa N Taniguchi 《Biochimica et biophysica acta》1990,1033(1):19-22
Effects of acute and chronic stress (exercise and cold) on glutathione and gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma GT) in the rat liver were investigated. Such stress, except for in the case of acute exercise, had no definite influence on the glutathione level. On the other hand, gamma GT activity in both the extramicrosomal and microsomal fractions varied substantially, suggesting that acute exercise increases the release ability of the microsomal membrane of the rat liver, and that swimming training and long-term cold exposure stabilize the membrane. Immunoreactive gamma GT, however, did not always correlate with the enzyme activity, especially in the extramicrosomal fraction. Cross-adaptation appeared to exist between swimming training and chronic cold exposure. 相似文献

Hypoxia and recovery perturb free radical processes and antioxidant potential in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) tissues 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The effects of hypoxia exposure and subsequent normoxic recovery on the levels of lipid peroxides (LOOH), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), carbonylproteins, total glutathione levels, and the activities of six antioxidant enzymes were measured in brain, liver, kidney and skeletal muscle of the common carp Cyprinus carpio. Hypoxia exposure (25% of normal oxygen level) for 5h generally decreased the levels of oxidative damage products, but in liver TBARS content were elevated. Hypoxia stimulated increases in the activities of catalase (by 1.7-fold) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (by 1.3-fold) in brain supporting the idea that anticipatory preparation takes place in order to deal with the oxidative stress that will occur during reoxygenation. In liver, only GPx activity was reduced under hypoxia and reoxygenation while other enzymes were unaffected. Kidney showed decreased activity of GPx under aerobic recovery but superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase responded with sharp increases in activities. Skeletal muscle showed minor changes with a reduction in GPx activity under hypoxia exposure and an increase in SOD activity under recovery. Responses by antioxidant defenses in carp organs appear to include preparatory increases during hypoxia by some antioxidant enzymes in brain but a more direct response to oxidative insult during recovery appears to trigger enzyme responses in kidney and skeletal muscle. 相似文献

Dose dependent effects of ghrelin on pentylenetetrazole-induced oxidative stress in a rat seizure model 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
It has been suggested that free oxygen radicals play a role in the genesis of epilepsy and in post-seizure neuronal death. The aim of this study was to investigate the dose dependent effect of ghrelin on pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced oxidative stress in a rat seizure model. For this purpose, the ghrelin groups were treated with intraperitoneal injections of ghrelin at doses of 20, 40, 60 and 80 microg/kg before the PTZ injection. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities, and reduced glutathione (GSH) and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) levels were measured in erythrocytes, liver and brain tissue. TBARS, the indicator of lipid peroxidation, was significantly increased in erythrocytes, liver and brain tissue, while antioxidant enzyme activities and glutathione levels were significantly decreased in PTZ injected rats. Ghrelin pretreatment prevented lipid peroxidation and the reduction in antioxidant enzyme activities and GSH levels against PTZ-induced oxidative stress in a dose dependent manner. The present data indicates that PTZ at a convulsive dose induces an oxidative stress response by depleting the antioxidant defense systems and increasing lipid peroxidation in the erythrocytes, liver and brain of rats. Ghrelin pretreatment diminished oxidative stress and prevented the decrease in antioxidant enzyme activities, and thus may reduce neuronal death in the brain during seizures. However, further studies are needed in order to confirm our hypothesis. 相似文献
