Recently, interest in the problem of free radical oxidation in biological membranes, which is directly related to both the normal functioning of cells and the occurrence, course and outcome of many pathological conditions, has increased again in clinical medicine. The aim was to determine the role and impact of antioxidant defense in boys with hypoandrogenism. The study involved 75 adolescents with hypoandrogenism aged 13–18 years, who underwent a complex of clinical and laboratory examinations. All patients were conducted complex of anthropometric research and determination of the degree of delayed puberty, laboratory and instrumental examination. Free radical oxidation was determined by the levels of malondialdehyde, conjugated dienes, carbonated proteins, superoxide dismutase and catalase in the serum, and restored glutathione and glutathione peroxidase in whole blood. Based on their determination, the coefficient of oxidative stress was calculated. Statistical processing of results was performed using parametric and nonparametric methods. The study of indicators of the free radical oxidation process found that adolescents with hypoandrogenism have multidirectional changes in the oxidation of proteins and lipids, namely: the level of conjugated dienes increases, the concentration of malondialdehyde remains at the level of the control group, and the level of carbonated proteins tends to decrease. As for the activity of antioxidant protection enzymes, a significant decrease in the level of glutathione peroxidase was detected, while the level of superoxide dismutase and catalase remained at the level of normative indicators. Oxidative stress accompanies and is one of the pathogenetic links in the formation or maintenance of the state of hypoandrogenism in boys. This requires the use of antioxidants, the complex of which must be selected individually.

Introduction. To date, age and sex differences have been established for many biochemical parameters. Gender differences in indicators for systems such as antioxidant, thiol-disulfide, oxidative stress and inflammation systems are absent or under study.The aim of the study was to identify gender differences in biochemical parameters reflecting the functioning of antioxidant systems of the body and free radical oxidation in workers of metallurgical production, in contact with harmful production factors.Materials and methods. The blood of men and women working at the metallurgical enterprise of the Nizhny Novgorod region (n=80) under the influence of a complex of physical and chemical production factors was studied. Total oxidative stress, total antioxidant capacity of serum, glutathione levels were studied by photometric biochemical methods. Levels of C-reactive protein and 8-hydroxy–2-deoxyguanosine were studied by ELISA.Results. The average amount of peroxides in the serum of women exceeded 1.6 times this figure in men. In the group of men, the content of 8-Ondg was higher by 26% (p=0.012), the level of GS-by 12% (p=0.019), the activity of SOD — by 1.5–2 times (p=0.0001), the level of CRP — by 2 times (p=0.008) compared to similar indicators in women.Conclusions. Studies of gender differences in workers under the influence of harmful production factors will allow more effective approach to the etiology, treatment and prognosis of production-related diseases. Indicators of oxidative stress and antioxidant protection can be indicators of the health of workers under the influence of harmful industrial factors and be important in the prevention of diseases associated with oxidative stress.

The paper presents quantitative indicators of lipid peroxidation (LP) products and antioxidant support network (ASN) in blood plasma in women with various histological forms of endometrial hyperplastic processes (EHPs). The goal of the paper is to assess the state of LP processes and ASN in women of reproductive age with various forms of EHPs. Materials and Methods. The trial enrolled 137 women of reproductive age: 112 women with endometrial hyperplasia (EH) and 25 women with uterine cavity synechia without EH. Conclusion. In case if EH progresses from a simple atypical form to adenocarcinoma, an increase in lipid peroxidation intensity and ASN inhibition is observed. Keywords: women, endometrial hyperplastic processes, endometrial hyperplasia, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant support network. В работе представлены количественные показатели содержания продуктов перекисного окисления липидов (ПОЛ) и системы антиоксидантной защиты (АОЗ) в плазме крови у женщин с различными гистологическими формами гиперпластического процесса эндометрия (ГПЭ). Цель исследования. Оценить состояние процессов ПОЛ и системы АОЗ при развитии различных форм ГПЭ у женщин репродуктивного возраста. Материалы и методы. Объектом исследования явились 137 женщин репродуктивного возраста: 112 женщин с гиперплазией эндометрия (ГЭ) и 25 женщин с синехиями полости матки без ГЭ. Выводы. При прогрессировании ГЭ от простой неатипичной до аденокарциномы происходит нарастание интенсивности липопереокисления и угнетения системы АОЗ. Ключевые слова: женщины, гиперпластические процессы эндометрия, гиперплазия эндометрия, перекисное окисление липидов, система антиоксидантной защиты.

Abstract Selenoprotein N (SEPN1) is critical to the normal muscular physiology. Mutation of SEPN1 can raise congenital muscular disorder in human. It is also central to maturation and structure of skeletal muscle in chicken. However, human SEPN1 contained an EF-hand motif, which was not found in chicken. And the biochemical and molecular characterization of chicken SEPN1 remains unclear. Hence, protein domains, transcription factors, and interactions of Ca2+ in SEPN1 were analyzed in silico to provide the divergence and homology between chicken and human in this work. The results showed that vertebrates’ SEPN1 evolved from a common ancestor. Human and chicken's SEPN1 shared a conserved CUGS-helix domain with function in antioxidant protection. SEPN1 might be a downstream target of JNK pathway, and it could respond to multiple stresses. Human's SEPN1 might not combine with Ca2+ with a single EF-hand motif in calcium homeostasis, and chicken SEPN1 did not have the EF-hand motif in the prediction, indicating the EF-hand motif malfunctioned in chicken SEPN1.
