Cisplatin (CDDP), an anticancer drug, induces remarkable toxicity in the kidneys of animals and humans and it has been well documented that reactive oxygen species and the renal antioxidant system are strongly involved in acute renal damage induced by CDDP. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether or not the renal antioxidant system plays also an important role in chronic renal damage induced by repeated doses of CDDP (1 mg/kg intraperitoneally twice weekly during 10 weeks in rats). In order to elucidate it, serum creatinine and urea levels, renal glutathione and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) content, as well as renal superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities were measured in the kidney homogenates of chronically CDDP-treated rats and additionally histological studies were performed in the rat kidneys. The chronic treatment with CDDP induced a significant increase in creatinine and urea levels in serum, but the other parameters mentioned above were not significantly modified as compared to the values in nontreated rats. Taking into account these results, we conclude that chronic CDDP administration induces also severe nephrotoxicity, in contrast to CDDP acute application, without any significant modification in the activity of relevant antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, renal glutathione and lipid peroxides, by which the role of the antioxidant system in chronic nephrotoxicity induced by CDDP in rats is uncertain.

Antioxidative Ability

To evaluate the effects of supplementing diets with carotenoid and ascorbic acid (AsA) on the antioxidative ability of Osteogenic Disorder-Shionogi (ODS) rats, we added synthetic b-carotene (bC), AsA, and powders of persimmon (Ka) and pods (Po) containing bC and AsA to the diet and obtained the following results. The urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) concentration was low in the –betaC•AsA and +AsA groups but high in the +betaC. AsA, +Ka, and +Po groups. The thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) in both the liver and skin were higher in the –betaC•AsA group than in the +betaC•AsA group and were low in the +Ka and +Po groups. As antioxidant enzymes, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity was high in the +betaC•AsA group, low in the –betaC•AsA group in both the skin and liver, and also high in the + Ka and +Po group in the liver. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was high in the –betaC•AsA group and low in the +betaC•AsA and +Ka groups in both the skin and liver. Catalase (CAT) activity in the liver was low in the –betaC•AsA, + AsA, and +betaC groups and high in the +betaC•AsA and + Po groups. These results confirmed that the administration of betaC, AsA, and persimmons and pods increases antioxidative ability in the skin and liver of ultraviolet-b(UV-B)-irradiated ODS rats.

Radical Damage

This study aims to explore the role of reactive oxygen radicals in the genesis of diabetic cataract. Lipid peroxide (LPO) concentrations in senile ( n = 30) and diabetic ( n = 14) cataractous lenses, were determined as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) by a method modified from Satoh and Yagi, and reduced glutathione (GSH) concentrations were measured according to Beutler. Lens LPO levels (mean, SD; nmol TBARS/g protein) were significantly higher in diabetics (107·54, 18·12) than senile cataractous subjects (53·54, 15·48) ( P < 0·0001). Lens GSH levels (mean, SD; nmol/g protein) showed no significant difference between diabetics (4·29, 2·05) and senile cataractous subjects (4·68, 3·12). These results suggest that free radical damage is more effective in the genesis of diabetic cataract than in senile cataract.

Hypoxic Adaptation

Hypoxic adaptation mediated by HIF transcription factors requires mitochondria, which have been implicated in regulating HIF1α stability in hypoxia by distinct models that involve consuming oxygen or alternatively converting oxygen into the second messenger peroxide. Here, we use a ratiometric, peroxide reporter, HyPer to evaluate the role of peroxide in regulating HIF1α stability. We show that antioxidant enzymes are neither homeostatically induced nor are peroxide levels increased in hypoxia. Additionally, forced expression of diverse antioxidant enzymes, all of which diminish peroxide, had disparate effects on HIF1α protein stability. Moreover, decrease in lipid peroxides by glutathione peroxidase-4 or superoxide by mitochondrial SOD, failed to influence HIF1α protein stability. These data show that mitochondrial, cytosolic or lipid ROS were not necessary for HIF1α stability, and favor a model where mitochondria contribute to hypoxic adaptation as oxygen consumers.

This investigation was done to assess the role of abscisic acid (ABA; 25 µM) and/or nitrogen (N; 10 mM) in the alleviation of salinity (NaCl; 100 mM)-induced reduction in photosynthetic activity and growth, N and sulfur (S) assimilation of mustard (Brassica juncea L.) cv. RH0-749. Salinity treatment caused oxidative stress and significantly elevated the content of both H2O2 and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and impaired photosynthetic activity and growth, but increased the content of nitrogenous osmolyte proline and the activity of antioxidant enzymes involved in the metabolism of reactive oxygen species. The application of 25 µM ABA under a controlled condition negatively affected photosynthesis and growth. However, ABA, when combined with N, minimized oxidative stress and mitigated the salinity-inhibited effects by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, SOD; glutathione reductase, GR; ascorbate peroxidase, APX) and proline content. Overall, the supplementation of 10 mM N combined with 25 µM ABA provides an important strategy for enhancing the photosynthetic potential of B. juncea under saline conditions.

Antioxidant Mechanisms

Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione reductase (GSSG-R) and concentration of ascorbate, alpha-tocopherol, non-protein and protein-bound sulfhydryl compounds and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBA-rs) were measured in liver and serum of rats 6, 12 and 24 h and 2, 5 and 7 days after intoxication with 1.5 g or 3.0 g methanol/kg b.w. Liver GSH-Px and GSSG-R activities and SH-groups and ascorbate content were significantly diminished at 6 and 24 h, while TBA-rs were increased. Serum SOD, GSH-Px and GSSG-R activities and SH-groups concentration were reduced while TBA-rs were elevated. The changes were more intensive after application of the higher dose of methanol. It is concluded that methanol impairs the liver and blood serum antioxidant mechanisms in rats.

Aim. Study of the features of changes of antioxidant protection in patients with mechanical jaundice of benign and malignant origin in dynamics. Methods. The author studied the role of antioxidant system in the progression of mechanical jaundice of various origins in 104 patients. Groups of patients with a syndrome of mechanical jaundice of benign (62 patients) and malignant origin (42 patients) were isolated. The material of the study was blood from the ulnar vein, which was taken in the morning on an empty stomach before surgery. In the dynamics (on the 7th day after the operation), 53 patients were examined. To assess the state of antioxidant protection, a spectrophotometric method of investigation was used. Results. A high level of malonic dialdehyde, the product of lipid peroxidation, was determined in all patients regardless of origin. There was also a depression of the enzymatic link of antioxidant protection (a decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase). After surgical intervention in patients with mechanical jaundice of benign origin, correction of the level of reduced glutathione was observed. In patients with mechanical jaundice of malignant origin in dynamics, the activity of antioxidant enzymes did not differ significantly from the norm (p1-3 = 0,23; p1-3 = 311). Conclusion. After surgical intervention, partial improvement of the condition of patients with mechanical jaundice of benign origin was observed, and dysfunction of antioxidant protection persisted in patients with mechanical jaundice of malignant origin.

The indicators of the activity of lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant system were studied in dynamics in 158 patients with infectious mononucleosis depending on the severity of the clinical course of the disease. It is proved that lipid peroxidation is significantly activated in patients with infectious mononucleosis as the severity of the disease increases and therefore increases the oxidative activity of blood plasma, the concentration of dyne conjugates and malondialdehyde in the blood, decreases the activity of antioxidant enzymes of erythrocytes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase), glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activity in plasma and lowering the concentration of total and reduced glutathione in the blood, as well as reduce the antioxidant activity of blood plasma and erythrocytes. Lipid peroxidation significantly increase and the activity of the antioxidant system decrease in patients with infectious mononucleosis in the acute period of the disease, as evidenced by the increased concentration of dyne conjugates, malonic dialdehyde and total oxidative plasma activity in the blood, reduced activity of the total antioxidant activity of plasma and erythrocytes, the decrease in the activity of antioxidant enzymes of erythrocytes catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase of blood plasma, the decrease in the concentration of glutathione in the blood. The most pronounced disorders of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant system activity were found in patients with moderate-severe and severe infectious mononucleosis. The development of cytolytic syndrome in infectious mononucleosis is associated with the action of reactive oxygen forms species and lipid hydroperoxide.

Nowadays arterial hypertension (AH) is the most popular cardiovascular disease, which is the most common cause of disability in the population due to high risk of developing complications, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, stroke. The nature of the morphological manifestations of hypertensive disease depends on the duration and severity, but hypertension triggers a cascade of pathological changes in the lung disease and is accompanied by disruption of the structure of organs that are the most sensitive to fluctuations of blood pressure (brain, heart, kidneys). Continuing the search for new drugs that not only lower blood pressure, but have polytropic effects. In the first place is cardioprotection, which is based on the principles of continuous monitoring of myocardial oxygenation and metabolism. Recently the attention of researchers attract bioflavonoids, such as corvitin, which showed antioxidant, prediabetics, anti-inflammatory properties. The question of influence corvitin in combination therapy with antihypertensive drugs in the treatment of hypertension has been insufficiently studied, that determines the relevance and purpose of our study. Materials and methods. The study was conducted spontaneously hypertensed of rats SHR series. Animals affected into 4 groups of observation. Experienced animal groups series SHR were administered ramipril at a dose of 5 mg / kg, candesartan 4 mg / kg and corvitin a dose of 50 mg/kg, and conducted combined therapy ramipril and corvitin, candesartan and corvitin. Drugs were administered for 7 days. State prooxidative-antioxidant system in the heart, liver, and kidney was estimated by the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and has a diene conjugates (DC), the background activity of antioxidant enzymes: superoxiddismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (TRP), of catalase (CT). The results of the study. Monotherapy with ramipril exacerbate the pathological process in the examined structures (kidney, heart, liver) and caused a decline in the level of antioxidant enzymes for the same level of malonic aldehyde and diene conjugates. Treatment with candesartan showed a more positive trend in reducing the level of products peroxidation and activation of superoxide dismutase, slightly increased the level of catalase remained unchanged and the activity of glutathione peroxidase. Combination therapy with carnitin significantly changed the indicators oxidative-antioxidant homeostasis in the direction of growth of activity of enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase on the background of significant decrease of the products of barbituric acid. The most marked improvement was noted in the myocardium of the left ventricle and kidney in combination therapy with candesartan and corvitin. Conclusions. Application of corvitin in combination with antihypertensive drugs demonstrated protective effect. Increased level of blood pressure not only positive dynamics of combination therapy but also pleiotropy effect of corvitin.
