A Possible Indicator of Oxidative Damage in Smokers: (13Z)-Lycopene?
In vitro, the gaseous phase of cigarette smoke is known to induce both isomerization and degradation of dietary carotenoids, such as β-carotene and lycopene. However, the effects of cigarette smoke on the composition of circulating lycopene in vivo are not well understood. In this study, we examined the lycopene profiles of plasma from non-smokers and smokers. No oxidative intermediates of lyco...
متن کاملLycopene prevents experimental priapism against oxidative and nitrosative damage.
OBJECTIVE Priapism is a persistent and often painful penile erection in the absence of sexual stimulation. It can cause progressive fibrosis, edema and drying of the erectile tissue and then it can lead to erectile dysfunction. Previous studies suggested that, neuronal nitric oxide levels increased during the priapism. High NO levels can result in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) ...
متن کاملLycopene Protects the Diabetic Rat Kidney Against Oxidative Stress-mediated Oxidative Damage Induced by Furan
Furan is a food and environmental contaminant and a potent carcinogen in animals. Lycopene is one dietary carotenoid found in fruits such as tomato, watermelon and grapefruit. The present study was designed to explore the protective effect of lycopene against furan-induced oxidative damage in streptozotocin (STZ)induced diabetic rat kidney. At the end of the experimental period (28 days), we fo...
متن کاملComparative analysis of lycopene in oxidative stress.
OBJECTIVE Lycopene is a phytochemical, found in tomatoes having singlet oxygen quenching ability higher than other antioxidants, participates in most of chemical reactions to protect critical cellular biomolecules. Present study is to analyze effect of tomato's lycopene, synthetic lycopene, its placebo form in patients of OS. METHODS Study includes 45 patients having oxidative stress, age 40-...
متن کاملBrain Tissues Oxidative Damage as a Possible Mechanism of Deleterious Effects of Propylthiouracil- Induced Hypothyroidism on Learning and Memory in Neonatal and Juvenile Growth in Rats
Introduction: The role of brain tissues oxidative damage in learning and memory impairments has been well documented. It is also well known that thyroid hormones have a critical role for the brain functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of brain tissues oxidative damage as a possible mechanism of deleterious effects of propylthiouracil (PTU) - induced hypothyroidism on ...
