Oxidative stress (OS) plays a key role in the initiation or progression of numerous diseases, and dairy cows undergo OS at the transition period. However, discrepancies between methodologies make it difficult to make comparisons between studies, and therefore research on this topic may not be implemented in farms. This study aims to test under field conditions the use of an oxidative stress ind...

in assisted reproduction techniques (art) settings, reactive oxygen species (ros) can be produced from endogenous and exogenous sources during in vitro manipulation. endogenous sources of ros include gametes and embryo, whereas exogenous sources are oxygen tension, light exposure, culture media, and the nature of some protocols, such as centrifugation or cryopreservation. elevated ros productio...

background & aim: the most common primary brain tumors of the central nervous system are gliomas. among a number of different biomolecular events, a strong relation between oxidative stress pathways and the development of this cancer has been proved. oxidative stress (os) is the consequence of an imbalance between pro-oxidants and antioxidants towards pro-oxidants. the pro-oxidants cause lipid ...

OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress (OS) is an essential element in the pathogenesis of Barrett's esophagus (BE) and its transformation to adenocarcinoma (EAC). The state of OS in the proximal stomach of patients with BE and EAC is unknown. Isoprostanes are a specific marker of OS not previously used to determine OS from BE/EAC tissue samples. PATIENTS AND METHODS OS was measured in 42 patients with ...

Macrophage activators (MA), peroxisome proliferators (PP), and oxidative stressors/reactive metabolites (OS/RM) all produce oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity in rats. However, these three classes of hepatotoxicants give three distinct gene transcriptional profiles on cDNA microarrays, an indication that rat hepatocytes respond/adapt quite differently to these three classes of oxidative stress...

Hypertension is a risk factor for several vascular diseases. Evidence suggests that oxidative stress (OS) plays a significant role in its pathophysiology. Human studies have shown inconsistent results, varying based on the OS biomarker and study population. In a racially diverse population, examine the association between: (1) blood pressure or hypertension and four markers of OS and (2) blood ...

Introduction: Patients at end stage renal disease have higher levels of inflammation and oxidative stress than the general population. Many factors contribute to these issues, and the parathyroid hormone (PTH) is also implicated. Objective: The study was conducted in order to assess the relationship between PTH levels and inflammation and oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients. Methods: ...

Magnesium deficiency (MgD) has been shown to impact numerous biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels. In the present review, we discuss the relationship between MgD and oxidative stress (OS). MgD is accompanied by increased levels of OS markers such as lipid, protein and DNA oxidative modification products. Additionally, a relationship was detected between MgD and a weakened a...

b a ckground:  to compare the oxidative stress (os) factors in obese and non- obese subjects with type 2 diabetes (t2d) and to evaluate the interaction between the apolipoprotein a-ii (apo a-ii) - 265t > c polymorphism and body mass index (bmi) on os factors. m ethods : in this comparative cross-sectional study, 21 diabetes centers in tehran, iran were studied. 180 patients with t2d were divide...

Background The aim of this study was to determine oxidative stress (OS) parameters after testicular torsion/detorsion in adult rats. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, male adult Wistar rats were divided into four groups, each consisting of seven animals: group I-one hour right testicular torsion with subsequent orchiectomy, group II-one hour right testicular torsion followed by de...
