Latar belakang : Angka kejadian komplikasi paru paska operasi non jantung dibandingkan dengan komplikasi jantung yaitu 2,7% dan 2,5%. Penyebab hal ini adalah stres oksidatif, ketidakseimbangan radikal oksigen dan endogenous scavenging system.Lidokain  menghambat saluran natrium dan, mengurangi masukan kalsium intraseluler, mengurangi produksi Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) dan modulasi bioenergetika mitokondria, sehingga diharapkan lidokain mampu meningkatkan kadar antioksidan alami di dalam sel.Superoxide Dismutase-1 (SOD-1) adalah salah satu antioksidan alami didalam sel yang berperan dalam melindungi organ dari anion superoksida yang berbahaya dengan mengubah anion yang dihasilkan dari cedera setelah ischaemia-reperfusion.Tujuan : Mengetahui efek lidokain intravena terhadap kadar Superoxide Dismutase 1 (SOD-1) paru kelinci dengan lung ischemic reperfusion injury model.Metode : Desain eksperimental laboratorik, 16 kelinci dibagi menjadi dua kelompok secara acak. Kelompok kontrol mendapat perlakuan lung ischemic reperfusion injury dan kelompok perlakuan dilakukan lung ischemic reperfusion injurydan mendapat injeksi lidokain 1,5mg/kgBB/jam intravena secara kontinyu kemudian diukur kadar SOD-1 jaringan paru kedua kelompok. Uji normalitas menggunakan uji Shapiro Wilk dilanjutkan uji beda Independent T-test.Hasil : Kadar SOD-1 paru kelinci dengan lung ischemic reperfusion injurydan mendapat lidokain lebih tinggi secara signifikan (p=0,01) dibandingkan dengan kadar SOD-1 paru kelinci dengan lung ischemic reperfusion injuryKesimpulan : Pemberian lidokain kontinyu intravena dapat meningkatkan kadar SOD-1 paru kelinci dengan lung ischemic reperfusion injury.

Background: Acrylamide (AA) is a reactive molecule produced during food processing at temperatures above 120°C. Objective: To evaluate the impact of different concentrations of AA on human sperm parameters, oxidative stress and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Materials and Methods: In this laboratory study, semen samples were obtained from healthy donors referred to the Taleghani Hospital, Tehran, Iran between June and July 2019. Samples were divided into four groups (n = 10/each): one control and three treatment groups (0.5, 1, and 2 mM of AA). After 2 hr of exposure to AA, the superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde levels were measured based on colorimetric methods. The TAC was determined by the ferric-reducing antioxidant power assay. Flow cytometry was performed to measure the intracellular reactive oxygen species generation. Also, immunohistochemistry was done to determine the effect of AA on tyrosine phosphorylation and carboxymethyl-lysine expression. Results: Results of the study demonstrated that the motility and viability of spermatozoa were significantly decreased after AA exposure (p < 0.001). This decrease was also seen in the TAC and superoxide dismutase activity as well as in the phosphotyrosine percentage compared with the control (p < 0.01). However, the carboxymethyllysine and prooxidant activity including reactive oxygen species generation and lipid peroxidation level increased (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Overall, the results confirmed the detrimental effect of AA on human spermatozoa which may be due to oxidative stress and decreased total antioxidant levels. AA may reduce fertility by reducing sperm capacitation and motility. Key words: Acrylamide, Oxidative stress, Antioxidant, Spermatozoa, Infertility.

Elevated environmental temperatures induce heat stress, which can cause a depression in fertility and early embryonic development. Fatty acids initiate an endergonic reaction that is able to absorb cellular heat, causing a decrease in intracellular temperature. Supplementing linoleic and linolenic acids to the maturation medium of pig oocytes at elevated temperatures reduces the effects of heat stress-induced damage during fertilization and embryonic development. However, the mechanism of action of fatty acids during oocyte maturation is unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study was to minimize heat stress-induced damage and characterise the intracellular oocyte mechanisms. Oocyte maturation media was supplemented with linoleic and linolenic acid during oocyte maturation at either 38.5 or 41.5°C. Oocytes (n=3094, r=5) were supplemented with 50μM linoleic acid, 50μM linolenic acid, 25μM of both, or 50μM of both during 40 to 44h of maturation and then evaluated for the formation of reactive oxygen species (n=239), intracellular glutathione concentrations (n=1005), glutathione peroxidase (n=1005), catalase (n=987), and superoxide dismutase (n=863) activities. Data were analysed using ANOVA with the main effects including treatment, well, and replicate. There were no significant differences between the treatment groups matured at 38.5°C when comparing reactive oxygen species generation. Supplementation of linoleic or linolenic acid significantly decreased (P&lt;0.05) reactive oxygen species generation in oocytes matured at 41.5°C compared with no supplementation at the same temperature. Supplementation of linoleic or linolenic acid or both significantly increased (P&lt;0.05) intracellular glutathione concentrations compared with no supplementation at 38.5°C (23.37±1.23 pmol/oocyte) and 41.5°C (10.42±1.01 pmol/oocyte). There were no significant differences between the treatment groups matured at 38.5°C or 41.5°C when comparing glutathione peroxidase activity. Supplementation of linoleic or linolenic acid or both significantly increased (P&lt;0.05) catalase and superoxide dismutase activities compared with no supplementation at 38.5°C and at 41.5°C. Superoxide dismutase activity was significantly higher (P&lt;0.05) in oocytes matured at 41.5°C compared with those matured at 38.5°C. These results indicate that supplementing linoleic and linolenic acid to the maturation medium of pig oocytes at an elevated temperature reduces the effects of heat stress-induced damage by increasing intracellular glutathione concentrations and catalase and superoxide dismutase activities.

Copper zinc superoxide dismutase (Sod1) is a critical enzyme in limiting reactive oxygen species in both the cytosol and the mitochondrial intermembrane space.


The eff ect of the non-opiate analog of leu-enkephalin (peptide NALE: Phe – D – Ala – Gly – Phe – Leu – Arg) on the reactive oxygen species generation in the heart of albino rats in the early postnatal period was studied. Peptide NALE was administered intraperitoneally in the dose of 100 μ/kg daily from 2 to 6 days of life. Reactive oxygen species generation was assessed by chemiluminescence in the heart homogenates of 7-day-old animals. Decreasing of reactive oxygen species generation nearly by 30 % and an increasing in antioxidant system activity by the 20-27 %, compared with the control parameters, were found. The antioxidant eff ect of peptide NALE is associated with the presence of the amino acid Arg in the structure of the peptide. An analogue of NALE peptide, devoid of Arg (peptide Phe – D – Ala – Gly – Phe – Leu – Gly), had a signifi cant lower antioxidant eff ect. The NO-synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) in the dose 50 mg/kg, administered with NALE peptide, reduced the severity of the NALE antioxidant eff ect. The results of the study suggest that the pronounced antioxidant eff ect of NALE peptide in the heart of albino rats, at least in part, is due to the interaction with the nitric oxide system.
