Penyakit jantung koroner (PJK) terutama disebabkan oleh aterosklerosis karena hiperkolesterolimia. Oksidasi low density lipoprotein (LDL) oleh reactive oxygen species (ROS) sebagai penyebab utama proses aterogenik dapat dicegah dengan kehadiran antioksidan seperti vitamin E. Buah dan sayuran banyak mengandung vitamin. Salah satu buah yang mengandung vitamin E adalah buah merah (Pandanus conoideus Lam.). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian ekstrak buah merah terhadap kadar LDL darah pada tikus putih (Rattus norvegicus L.). Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimental laboratorium yang didesain mengikuti Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan 6 perlakuan dan 4 kali ulangan dengan parameter penelitian adalah kadar LDL darah tikus putih. Data dianalisis menggunakan one way anova dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan 95%. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, minyak buah merah memiliki kemampuan untuk menurunkan kadar LDL darah tikus putih.

Background/Aims: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) adversely affects the intestinal mucosa. The major mechanisms of I/R are the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis. Salvianolic acid A (SalA) is suggested to be an effective antioxidative and antiapoptotic agent in numerous pathological injuries. The present study investigated the protective role of SalA in I/R of the intestine. Methods: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to intestinal I/R injury in vivo. In vitro experiments were performed in IEC-6 cells subjected to hypoxia/ reoxygenation (H/R) stimulation to simulate intestinal I/R. TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase and glutathione peroxidase levels were measured using biochemical analysis. Apoptosis was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick-end labeling staining or flow cytometry in vivo and in vitro. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured by dichlorodihydrofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining. Western blotting was performed to determine the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), Nrf2 and proteins associated with apoptosis. The mRNA expressions of Nrf2 and HO-1 were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in vivo and in vitro. Results: Malondialdehyde level and myeloperoxidase and glutathione peroxidase, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 levels group in intestinal tissue decreased significantly in the SalA pretreatment groups compared to the I/R group. SalA markedly abolished intestinal injury compared to the I/R group. SalA significantly attenuated apoptosis and increased Nrf2/HO-1 expression in vivo and in vitro. However, Nrf2 siRNA treatment partially abrogated the above mentioned effects of SalA in H/R-induced ROS and apoptosis in IEC-6 cells. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that SalA ameliorated oxidation, inhibited the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and alleviated apoptosis in I/R-induced injury and that these protective effects may partially occur via regulation of the Nrf2/ HO-1 pathways.

Oxidative stress can have a negative effect on oocyte maturation during invitro production of pig embryos. Imbalance of reactive oxygen species and antioxidant levels can affect the progression of oocyte maturation up to the point of fertilization. Antioxidants are effective in maintaining more ideal reactive oxygen species levels, which help to protect oocytes from potential harmful effects of oxidative stress. Berries from the elder plant (Sambucus sp.) contain high levels of a broad spectrum of antioxidants. One of these antioxidants, cyanidin, when supplemented to maturation medium at 100μM concentrations, reduces reactive oxygen species formation and improves IVF and early embryonic development in pigs. However, changes in the enzyme mechanisms of action during oocyte maturation due to cyanidin supplementation are unknown. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterise the intracellular oocyte enzyme mechanisms between oocytes supplemented with 100μM cyanidin during 40 to 44h of maturation (n=600) and oocytes without supplementation of cyanidin during maturation (n=558). At the end of maturation, oocytes were evaluated for either glutathione peroxidase (n=300), catalase (n=564), or superoxide dismutase (n=294) activities. Glutathione peroxidase activity was determined by following the rate of NADPH oxidation, catalase activity was determined by following the rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition, and superoxide dismutase activity was determined by following the reduction rate of cytochrome c, utilising the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system. Data were analysed using ANOVA and Tukey's test. There were no significant differences between oocytes matured with 100μM cyanidin and those that were not when comparing glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities. Supplementation of 100μM cyanidin to maturation medium increased (P<0.05) catalase activity in oocytes (0.78±0.15 units/oocyte) compared with no cyanidin supplementation (0.14±0.11 units/oocyte). These results indicate that supplementing 100μM cyanidin to the maturation medium of pig oocytes could reduce the negative effects of oxidative stress by increasing intracellular catalase activity during oocyte maturation.
