To analyze physiological and biochemical marker responses of brackish water clam Corbicula japonica under global warming conditions, different temperatures (20°C 25°C), salinity (5 20 psu), food availability (0.5 2.0 mg SS ind−1 d−1) levels were tested. Appropriate biomarkers selected based on the sensitivity biomarker responses, condition index (CI), energy reserves, superoxide dismutase (SOD)...

The behaviour of Mg related to vanadium(V)-induced lipid peroxidation (LPO) under in vitro conditions was examined. The studies performed on the liver supernatants (LS) obtained from control, sodium metavanadate-intoxicated, and sodium metavanadate-magnesium sulphate-administered male Wistar rats revealed and confirmed the pro-oxidative potential of V. Simultaneously, they indicated that the im...

An elevated level of serum urea and creatinine was observed in doxorubicin (DOX) treated animals indicating DOX-induced nephrotoxicity. Enhanced lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the renal tissue was accompanied by a significant decrease in the levels of reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) and catalase (CAT) activities. Administration of lycopene (LycT)...

Monosodium glutamate (MSG), administered to rats (by gavage) at a dose of 0.6 mg/g body weight for 10 days, significantly (P<0.05) induced lipid peroxidation (LPO), decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) level and increased the activities of glutathione-s-transferase (GST), catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the liver of the animals; these were observed 24 hr after 10 days of administratio...

The role of nitric oxide (NO) in paraquat (PQ)-induced neurotoxicity is still not fully understood. In this study we used NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a non-selective nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor, in order to examine the effects of NO, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and lipid peroxidation (LPO) development during PQ-mediated neurotoxicity. Oxidative stress devel...

OBJECTIVE(S) To study the changes in macrophage inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity, plasma levels of nitrite, lipid peroxidation (LPO) and melatonin in human essential hypertension before and 6 months after 4 mg/day lacidipine treatment. DESIGN The study was carried out in a total of 25 subjects--11 healthy subjects and 14 hypertensive patients. Blood pressure and peripheral bloo...

Introduction. Dysfunction of the kidneys after a bone fracture significantly increases recovery time patients, risk complications and disability. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells have been used to restore both kidney tissue. Our study was devoted effect on processes lipid peroxidation (LPO) work antioxidant system injury.Materials methods. The carried out 120 male white rats weighing from 190 2...

The brain experiences structural, molecular and functional alterations during aging. In aging brain tissue, the oxidative stress increases due to decreased activity of antioxidant enzymes and increased oxidative stress leading to neurodegeneration associated with excitotoxicity. In the present study, we observed the effect of tachykinin neuropeptide Neurokinin B (NKB) and amyloid beta fragment ...

Transitional water systems (TWSs) may be threatened by various metals originating from increased agricultural, industrial activities, or urban effluents. Macroalgae are one of the biological quality elements used to monitor and assess health status TWS due their structural functional key role in marine ecosystems. Here, metal accumulation macroalgae Ulva laetevirens Areschoug (1854) oxidative s...

Introduction: This study was designed to compare the plasma lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels in preterm and full-term neonates and their respective mothers, to assess their relationship with the degree of oxidative stress and the levels of vitamin C, an important antioxidant of the body. Material and methods: The studied groups included 70 neonates, 30 preterm (24-36 weeks of gestation) and 40 f...
