The article deals with the calculation and comparison indications of the condition of the prooxidant-antioxidant system (PAS) of strains of Basidiomycetes under periodic surface cultivation on a glucose-peptone medium. The research material consisted of the mycelium and culture filtrate (CF) from 57 strains, 52 of them belonging to 7 species of the order Agaricales and 5 belonging to 5 species of the order Polyporales. The intensity of the processes of lipid peroxidation was determined by a modified spectrophotometric method for contents of active products to thiobarbituric acid. Total antioxidant activity (АОА) of the mycological material was evaluated by intensity of inhibition from accumulated products of lipid peroxide oxidation (LPO) in a model reaction of oxidation by Twin-80 oxygen of the air. From the data obtained, indicators of prooxidant activity (POA), indicators of reserve of substrate peroxidation (SPO) and the balance coefficient of the prooxidant-antioxidant system (CbPАS) were calculated. It was established that strains of Basidiomycetes are characterized by significant predominance of prooxidant activity characteristic of PAS in the culture filtrate in comparison with the mycelium indicator. The highest values of POA in the Culture Filtrate were observed on the 12-th day of cultivation for the strain Р-089 genus Pleurotus and strain Gl-2 genus Ganoderma, and for the mycelium on the 9-th day of cultivation for the strains Р-сіtr, Р-089, Р-er and Р-082 of the genus Pleurotus. There is a direct dependence between the indicators of POA in the CF and mycelium for each strain, this dependence and level of indication do not reflect their systematic placement. We distinguished a more significant prevalence of indicators of reserve of substrates peroxidation of mycelium for most strains, than for such indicators with CF The highest value of reserve SPO of mycelium was recorded for strains Р-447, Р-998, Р-039, Р-94, Р-2175, Р-сіtr, Р-er, D-140 of the genus Pleurotus and strains F-107, F-610 of the genus Flammulina. For the majority of the strains there was a clear prevalence of the values of the balance coefficients for PAS of mycelium over those of CF. Maximum values of the balance coefficient PAS of mycelium on the 9-th day were recorded for strains Т-10 (F. fomentarius) and D-140, Р-035, Р-01, Р-105 (P. ostreatus) and on the 12-th day for strains Sc-10 (S. commune), Р-kl, Р-14 (P. ostreatus), Р-er (P. eryngii) і 960 (A. cylindracea). The abovementioned strains are distinguished by the with high level of AOA in the mycelium on certain days of cultivation and can be recommended as producers of antioxidants of fungal origin.

Activity of erytrocyte glutationperoxidase (GP), glutationreductase (GR), glutationtransferase (GT), glucose-6-phosphatdehydrogenase (G6PDH), catalase and superoxiddysmutase (SOD), and also, the level of malonic dialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant activity of blood serum were studied in patients with different types of multiple sclerosis. Investigation of peripherical blood was carried out on first day of treatment and after standard therapy of copaxone. All MS patients had high level of MDA and activity of GP in erythrocytes in comparison with a control group. Other antioxidant enzymes of erythrocytes and total antioxidant activity of blood serum exhibited weak positive dynamics in patients with a relapsing remittance of multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Decrease of activity of antioxidant system in patients with secondary progression multiple sclerosis (SPMS) was more pronounced and remained unchanged after the treatment. This is consistent with the more severe clinical course of thise disease.

This article is devoted to investigation of the dynamics of growth and level of spontaneous and induced lipid peroxidation intensity of Basidiomycetes strains grown by surface cultivation on a glucose-peptone medium. The materials of the research are mycelium and culture filtrates (CF) of 57 strains (5 belong to 5 species from the order Polyporales s.l., and 52 belong to 7 species of the order Agaricales s.l.). To study the dynamics of growth we used a weighing method for determining the accumulation of absolutely dry biomass. Intensity of lipid peroxidation was determined by a modified spectrophotometric method for content of active to thiobarbituric acid products. It was found that the most productive in absolutely dry biomass accumulation were the strains Flammulina velutipes (Curt.: Fr.) Sing. F-610 and Pleurotus eryngii (DC.: Fr.) Quél. P-er. The level of spontaneous and induced LPO intensity in mycelia of all strains was higher than this figure in the culture filtrate and increased with the duration of cultivation. Dependencies between the content of lipid peroxidation products in the mycelia and CF were not established. The lowest values were recorded for biomass accumulation by the strains Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.: Fr.) P. Kumm. P-14, P-192 and P. citrinopileatus Singer. Р-сіtr. Groups of basidiomycete cultures with different levels of TBA-AP were identified. Spontaneous and induced intensivity of lipid peroxidation in all studied strains of mycelia was higher than the figure in the culture filtrate. The intensity of lipid peroxidation in both mycelia and culture filtrate constantly increased, which can be explained by the growing shortage of certain nutrients (primarily carbon) and increased concentration of metabolic products in the medium. The ratio of spontaneous and induced lipid peroxidation intensity is specific to each strain and is independent of its systematic position. Shifting of prooxidant-antioxidant balance to a relatively stationary level is a mark of stress reaction. LPO-products can be both inductors and primary mediators of stress as a special class of biological systems. Selected strains with high rates of growth and LPO ntensity are promising for applications in biotechnology and ecology.

Acute Myeloid

Chronic oxidative stress (OS) can be an important factor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progression; however, there are no data on the extent/consequence of OS after transfusion of packed red blood cells (pRBCs) and platelet concentrates (PCs), which are commonly used in the treatment of leukemia-associated anemia and thrombocytopenia. We aimed to investigate the effects of pRBC/PC transfusion on the OS markers, i.e., thiol and carbonyl (CO) groups, 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), advanced glycation end products (AGE), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), SOD, GST, and LDH, in the blood plasma of AML patients, before and 24 h post-transfusion. In this exploratory study, 52 patients were examined, of which 27 were transfused with pRBCs and 25 with PCs. Age-matched healthy subjects were also enrolled as controls. Our results showed the oxidation of thiols, increased 3-NT, AGE levels, and decreased TAC in AML groups versus controls. After pRBC transfusion, CO groups, AGE, and 3-NT significantly increased (by approximately 30, 23, and 35%; p < 0.05, p < 0.05, and p < 0.01, respectively) while thiols reduced (by 18%; p < 0.05). The PC transfusion resulted in the raise of TBARS and AGE (by 45%; p < 0.01 and 31%; p < 0.001), respectively). Other variables showed no significant post-transfusion changes. In conclusion, transfusion of both pRBCs and PCs was associated with an increased OS; however, transfusing the former may have more severe consequences, since it is associated with the irreversible oxidative/nitrative modifications of plasma proteins.

Insulin resistance (IR) may be associated with oxidative stress and leads to cardiovascular disorders. Current research focuses on interplay between insulin-resistance indices and oxidant-antioxidant markers in elderly individuals with or without insulin-resistance. The assessment involved anthropometric data (weight, height, BMI, percentage of body fat (FAT)) and biochemical tests (glucose, lipids, serum insulin and plasma oxidant-antioxidant markers: Thiobarbituric Acid-Reacting Substances (TBARS), Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD-1) and total antioxidant status). Insulin resistance index (IR) assuming a cut-off point of 0.3 allows to divides groups into: insulin sensitive group (InsS) IR < 0,3 ( n = 35, median age 69.0 years) and insulin-resistant group (InsR) IR ≥ 0.3 ( n = 51, median age 71.0 years). Lipids and antioxidant defense system markers did not differentiate the investigated groups. In the InsR elderly group, the FAT was increased ( P < 0.000003) and TBARS ( P = 0.008) concentration decreased in comparison with InsS group. A positive correlation for SOD-1 and total antioxidant status ( P < 0.05; r =  0.434) and a negative correlation for TBARS and age ( P < 0.05 with r = −0.421) were calculated in InsR individuals. In elderly individuals, oxidative stress persists irrespective of insulin-resistance status. We suggest that increased oxidative stress may be consequence of old age. An insulin action identifies those at high risk for atherosclerosis, via congruent associations with oxidative stress and extra- and intra-cellular antioxidant defense systems. Thus, we maintain that insulin-resistance is not the cause of aging. Impact statement Insulin resistance is associated with oxidative stress leading to cardiovascular diseases. However, little research has been performed examining elderly individuals with or without insulin-resistance. We demonstrate that antioxidant defense systems alone is not able to abrogate insulin action in elderly individuals at high risk for atherosclerosis, whereas the combined oxidant-antioxidant markers (thiobarbituric acid-reacting substances (TBARS), Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD-1), and total antioxidant status (TAS)) might be more efficient and perhaps produce better clinical outcome. In fact, a decrease in oxidative stress and strong interaction between antioxidant defense can be seen only among insulin-resistant elderly individuals. This is, in our opinion, valuable information for clinicians, since insulin-resistance is considered strong cardiovascular risk factor.

Introduction. The appearance and intensity of oxidative stress were analyzed in the course of mechanical ventilation and parameters that could point toward potential lung damage. Material and methods. In three time intervals on day 1, 3 and 7 of mechanical ventilation, parameters such as: triglycerides, cholesterol, lactate, serum lactic dehydrogenase, acid-base balance and lipid peroxidation products - thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, were followed in 30 patients with head injuries. Results. A decrease in the level of partial oxygen pressure (PaO2) (p<0.01) and PaO2/FiO2 index (p<0.05) in arterial blood was recorded on day 3 of mechanical ventilation. This was accompanied with an increase in alveolar-arterial difference (AaDO2) (p<0.05), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (p<0.001) and lactic dehydrogenase (p<0.001) comparing to day 1 of mechanical ventilation. The patients with initial PaO2>120 mmHg, had significant increase of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and AaDO2 (p<0.05) and fall of PaO2 (p<0.001) on day 3 of mechanical ventilation. Conclusion. Oxidative stress and lipid peroxide production are increased during third day of mechanical ventilation leading to disruption of oxygen diffusion through alveolar-capillary membrane and reduction of parameters of oxygenation.

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.

A large number of works are devoted to the development of the skin and hair cover of sheep, depending on their breed affiliation, age, feeding conditions and housing. The authors point out that along with other conditions the quality of wool and wool clip is greatly influenced by the conditions of the feeding of animals. A high level of feeding increases the wool clip and improves the quality of the wool and vice versa a low level reduces, causes thinning and worsens other physical properties of the wool. As is known, one of the significant factors that determine the increase in wool clip is the size of the animal and, consequently, the total area of the skin. The purpose of the research was to investigate the morphological traits of the development of the skin and wool cover in sheep of Prikatunsky meat and wool type. The research material was wool samples from four topographic areas of the animal’s body (side/thigh/back/belly) and skin (side) of different sex and age groups, selected from the animals of the studied groups. In the course of research, the quality of wool and indicators of the histostructure of the skin of Prikatunsky meat and wool type of sheep have been investigated. In terms of thick-haired of wool, replacement rams and gimbers of Prikatunsky meat and wool type of sheep were superior by 4,82 pcs. per mm² or 19,0 % and 4,41 pcs. per mm² or 15,8 % of adult animals, respectively. Balance secondary follicles/primary follicles in young animals were higher by 10,3 and 17,3 % compared to breeding rams and ewes. The wool of the replacement young animals was thinner by 7,28 and 4,78 microns and they were more thick-haired. The obtained data will be used in the mating campaign when mating program rams in order to improve the sheep of Prikatunsky meat and wool type.

Objective: The present study examined the protective effect of tualang honey (TH) against kainic acid (KA)-induced oxidative stress in the cerebellum and brainstem of rats.Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: Control, KA-treated, TH+KA-treated, and topiramate (TPM, an antiepileptic agent)+KA-treated groups. Rats were pretreated orally with drinking water, TH (1.0 g/kg body weight), or TPM (40 mg/kg body weight), respectively, five times at 12 h intervals. Saline or KA (15 mg/kg body weight) were injected subcutaneously 30 min after last oral treatment. Rats were sacrificed at 2 h, 24 h, and 48 h after KA administration. Oxidative stress markers were analyzed in different brain regions (cerebellum and brainstem) 2 h, 24 h, and 48 h after KA administration.Results: KA caused significant (p<0.05) elevation in the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances level, protein carbonyl contents, and nitric oxide production, impairment of glutathione system, and a significant reduction in the total antioxidant status in the rat cerebellum and brainstem at multiple time-points, as compared to control groups. Pretreatment with TH significantly (p<0.05) reduced the elevation in the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances level, protein carbonyl contents, and nitric oxide production and increasing a reduction in the total antioxidant status in the rat cerebellum and brainstem induced by KA at multiple time-points, as compared to KA only-treated group.Conclusion: Taken together, this study suggests that TH has therapeutic potential in reducing oxidative stress in the cerebellum and brainstem of KA-induced rats via its antioxidant property.
