Immobilization Stress Enhances Lipid Peroxidation in the Ra t Lungs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work was carried out to study the involvement of lipid peroxidation in immobilization-induced damage of the rat lung Thirty-hour immobilization stress was found to result in a marked morphological alteration of the lung ultrastructure and in significant increases of both acid and alkaline phosphatase for immobilization times exceeding 12 and 24 hours respectively Also, increased concentrations of conjugated dienes and fluorescent products of lipid peroxidation were measured in the lungs of rats immobilized over 12 h Immobilization stress was followed by significant changes in the fatty acid contents of lung phospholipids The levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids C-18 2 (linoleic acid) and C-20 4 (arachidonic acid) were decreased even duung the alarm phase The contents of monounsaturated fatty acids did not change, while those of saturated fatty acids slightly increased The involvement of lipid peroxidation in immobilization-induced damage of the rat lung was indirectly supported by the observation of decreased levels of vitamin E at 12 h immobilization All the above data suggest that lipid peroxidation is somehow involved in the immobilization-induced damage of the rat lung The observed changes in lipid peroxidation preceded the immobilization stress-induced damage of the lung cell membranes Therefore, it seems likely that lipid peroxidation is the cause, rather than a consequence of the stress-altered lung structure

Background and purpose: Chronic immobilization stress induces the production of free radicals and oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of royal jelly (RJ) as an antioxidant against oxidative stress induced by chronic immobilization stress in liver of male mice. Material and methods: In this research 30 male mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6) includi...

This study was designed to study xanthine oxidase (XO) and xanthine dehydrogenase (XD) activity in the lung of rats exposed to prolonged restraining immobilization stress. Immobilization caused more than twofold increase of xanthine oxidase activity in the rat lung. The activity of xanthine oxidase decreased in lung homogenates incubated at -20 degrees C for 24 h. The same incubation of homogen...

Background: The pathophysiology of the varicocele has received considerable study, both in humans and in animal models. The sperm DNA damage and related oxidative stress have been identified as significant cause of male infertility. Present study was designed to evaluate the testicular nitric oxide (NO) generation, lipid and carbonyl groups (CGs) peroxidation and to analyze related sperm DNA da...
متن کاملLipid peroxidation and antioxidative protection mechanism in rat lungs upon acute and chronic exposure to nitrogen dioxide.
This work was done to clarify the relation between the changes of lipid peroxidation and the activities of antioxidative protective enzymes in lungs of rats exposed acutely, subacutely, and chronically to nitrogen dioxide. It was confirmed that the activities of the antioxidative enzymes to protect cells from oxidative stress increased in an early phase, and then the activities decreased gradua...

The present study provides direct experimental proof that the combination of influenza virus infection A/Aichi/2/68 (H3N3) with different models of oxidative stress, such as immobilization, cold and cold-restraint, is associated with graduated oxidative disturbances in the stomach of mice, despite the absence of virus replication and inflammation in this tissue. It was found that experimental i...
