Salt Sensitive Hypertension

Hypertension is a complex disease and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Although oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction have been found in the kidney in various models of hypertension, progressive alteration of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) in the kidney during the development of salt-sensitive hypertension has not been characterized. The present study determined changes of OxPhos in kidneys of Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats before (0.4% NaCl diet; LS) and after switching to a high salt diet (4.0% NaCl; HS) during the development of hypertension. Mitochondria were isolated from the outer medulla (OM) and cortex of the kidney of SS rats fed a LS diet since weaning and studied at days 3, 7, 14 & 21 of a HS diet feeding. Oxygen consumption rates (OCR) were measured in mitochondria energized with pyruvate + malate as substrates for three different respiratory states using an Oroboros Oxygraph-2k Instrument. This includes i) leak state (in the absence of ADP), ii) ADP-stimulated state, and iii) uncoupled state (in the presence of an uncoupler FCCP). A biphasic pattern of ADP-stimulated OCR with progressive uncoupling was observed in both the renal OM and cortex. Mitochondrial efficiency for ATP synthesis was increased in the early phases of hypertension (3 & 7 days) but was severely compromised in the established phases of hypertension (14 & 21 days). This decreased mitochondrial efficiency was associated with uncoupling of OxPhos and high levels of oxidative stress which we hypothesized were due to mitochondrial ROS stimulation of membrane NOXs. To test this, experiments were performed in SS rats with double knock out (DKO) of the cytosolic subunit of NOX2 (p67 phox ) and NOX4 (SS p67phox-/-/Nox4-/- ). DKO SS rats were fed a HS diet and OCR of renal cortical and OM mitochondria was determined at days 7 and 14. In contrast to SS rats, the DKO SS rats fed a HS diet showed no significant differences in mitochondrial OCR in the cortex or OM, nor to a control group maintained on a LS diet. HS diet in SS rats initially increases the efficiency of renal cortical and medullary mitochondrial ATP production (days 1-7) followed by an enhanced ROS production with mitochondrial uncoupling and reduced efficiency of ATP production by the third week.

Although it has been suggested that the skeletal muscle mitochondrial uncoupling protein-3 (UCP3) is involved in regulating energy expenditure, its role is still poorly understood. In the present study, we aimed at investigating noninvasively, using magnetic resonance techniques, metabolic changes occurring in exercising muscle as a result of capsiate treatment, which has been previously linked to UCP3 upregulation. We showed that capsiate ingestion strongly reduced UCP3 gene expression in rat gastrocnemius muscle. This large underexpression was accompanied by a significant increase in the rate of mitochondrial ATP production and phosphocreatine level both at rest and during muscle stimulation. Similarly, the stimulation-induced ATP fall and ADP accumulation were significantly less after capsiate administration than in untreated rats. The larger oxidative ATP production rate could not be explained by a proportional decrease in the anaerobic component, i.e., glycolysis and phosphocreatine breakdown. In addition, the mechanical performance was not affected by capsiate administration. Finally, the plasma free fatty acid (FFA) level increased in capsiate-treated rats, whereas no significant change was observed after muscle stimulation in the control group. Considering the corresponding enhanced UCP3 mRNA expression occurring in the control group after muscle stimulation, one can suggest that changes in FFA level and UCP3 mRNA expression are not mechanistically correlated. Overall, we have shown that capsiate administration induced a UCP3 downregulation coupled with an increased mitochondrial ATP synthesis, whereas the muscle force-generating capacity was unchanged. This suggests that a decrease in muscle efficiency and/or additional noncontractile ATP-consuming mechanisms result from UCP3 downregulation.

Transporter Family

Solute-linked cotransporter, SLC4A11, a member of the bicarbonate transporter family, is an electrogenic H+ transporter activated by NH3 and alkaline pH. Although SLC4A11 does not transport bicarbonate, it shares many properties with other members of the SLC4 family. SLC4A11 mutations can lead to corneal endothelial dystrophy and hearing deficits that are recapitulated in SLC4A11 knock-out mice. SLC4A11, at the inner mitochondrial membrane, facilitates glutamine catabolism and suppresses the production of mitochondrial superoxide by providing ammonia-sensitive H+ uncoupling that reduces glutamine-driven mitochondrial membrane potential hyperpolarization. Mitochondrial oxidative stress in SLC4A11 KO also triggers dysfunctional autophagy and lysosomes, as well as ER stress. SLC4A11 expression is induced by oxidative stress through the transcription factor NRF2, the master regulator of antioxidant genes. Outside of the corneal endothelium, SLC4A11’s function has been demonstrated in cochlear fibrocytes, salivary glands, and kidneys, but is largely unexplored overall. Increased SLC4A11 expression is a component of some “glutamine-addicted” cancers, and is possibly linked to cells and tissues that rely on glutamine catabolism.

Resistance of erythrocytes from Brown trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta L.) affected by ulcerative dermal necrosis syndrome In the present work we evaluated the effect of ulcerative dermal necrosis (UDN) syndrome on resistance of erythrocytes to haemolytic agents and lipid peroxidation level in the blood from brown trout (Salmo trutta m. trutta L.). Results showed that lipid peroxidation increased in erythrocytes, as evidenced by high thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels. Compared to control group, the resistance of erythrocytes to haemolytic agents was significantly lower in UDN-positive fish. Besides, UDN increased the percent of hemolysated erythrocytes subjected to the hydrochloric acid, urea and hydrogen peroxide. Results showed that UDN led to an oxidative stress in erythrocytes able to induce enhanced lipid peroxidation level, as suggested by TBARS level and decrease of erythrocytes resistance to haemolytic agents.

Radical Oxidation

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.

Few Data

Oxidative stress (OS) is increased in chronic diseases, including cardiovascular (CV), but there are few data on its effects on the heart and vessels. The isoprostanes (IsoP) are bioactive compounds, with 8-iso-PGF25a being the most representative in vivo marker of OS. They correlate with the severity of heart failure (HF), but because data regarding OS levels in different types of HF are scarce, our study was aimed to evaluate it by assessing the urinary levels of 8-iso-PGF2aand its correlations with various biomarkers and parameters. Our prospective study included 53 consecutive patients with HF secondary to ischemic heart disease or dilative cardiomyopathy, divided according to the type of HF (acute, chronic decompensated or chronic compensated HF). The control group included 13 hypertensive patients, effectively treated. They underwent clinical, laboratory - serum NT-proBNP, creatinine, uric acid, lipids, C reactive protein (CRP) and urinary 8-iso-PGF2a and echocardiographic assessment. HF patients, regardless the type of HF, had higher 8-iso-PGF2a than controls (267.32pg/�mol vs. 19.82pg/�mol, p[0.001). The IsoP level was directly correlated with ejection fraction (EF) (r=-0.31, p=0.01) and NT-proBNP level (r=0.29, p=0.019). The relative wall thickness (RWT) was negatively correlated with IsoP (r=-0.55, p[0.001). Also 8-iso-PGF25a was higher by 213.59pg/�mol in the eccentric left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy subgroup comparing with the concentric subgroup (p=0.014), and the subgroups with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and moderate/severe pulmonary hypertension (PAH) had the highest 8-iso-PGF2a levels. Male sex, severe MR, moderate/severe PAH, high LV mass and low RWT values were predictive for high OS level in HF patients.Eccentric cardiac remodeling, MR severity and PAH severity are independent predictors of OS in HF patients.

Choledocholithiasis may cause biliary obstruction which leads to hepatocellular injury. Oxidative stress has been proposed as a possible mechanism involved in this disorder. This study evaluates the oxidative stress burden in patients with choledocholithiasis and secondary cholestasis, before and after endoscopic sphincterotomy. Experimental part: Patients diagnosed with choledocholithiasis and secondary extrahepatic cholestasis were included in the study between January 1st 2016 and October 31st 2016. In all patients oxidative stress markers were collected within 2 hours before and 48 hours after therapeutic ERCP. Selected markers were superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and malondialdehyde (MDA). The results were compared to those from a group of 40 healthy subjects. Significantly lower concentrations of SOD (p = 0.03) and GPX (p [ 0.0001) activities, associated with an increased level of MDA level (p [ 0.0001) were shown in patients before biliary clearance compared with the healthy control group. After ERCP the only oxidative stress parameter which showed improvement was the SOD specific activity (p = 0.037). This study shows that extrahepatic cholestasis secondary to choledocholithiasis is associated with increased oxidative stress status. After biliary clearance one oxidative stress marker was significantly improved (SOD), suggesting a possible antioxidant effect of such procedure.

Objective: This study aimed to detect hepatic oxidative damage caused by aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), as well as to examine how propolis protects against hepatotoxic effects of AFB1. Method: Rats were split into four groups as control group, AFB1 group, propolis group, AFB1+ propolis group. Results: There was significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) level and tumor suppressor protein (TP53) gene expression, Glutathione (GSH) level, Catalase (CAT) activity, CAT gene expression decreased in AFB1 group in blood. MDA level and Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) activity, GST and TP53 gene expressions increased in AFB1 group, whereas GSH level and CAT activity alongside CAT gene expression decreased in liver. AFB1+propolis group showed significant decrease in MDA level, GST activity, TP53 and GST gene expressions, GSH level and CAT activity and CAT gene expression increased in liver compared to AFB1 group. Conclusion: These results suggest that propolis may potentially be natural agent that prevents AFB1- induced oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity.

Background: The role of minerals in preventing the generation of oxidative stress in obese individuals has been evaluated. Magnesium is an antioxidant nutrient and a cofactor of enzymes involved in the cell membrane stabilization, attenuating the effects of oxidative stress. Objective: To evaluate the association between magnesium and concentrations of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in patients with obesity and eutrophic women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 73 women, divided into two groups: case group (patients with obesity, n=27) and control group (eutrophic women, n=46). Measurements of body mass index and waist circumference were performed. Dietary magnesium intake was assessed by the three-day food record using the NutWin software. Urinary magnesium concentration was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry method. Plasma concentrations of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were also determined. Results: Mean values of dietary magnesium intake were 161.59 ± 60.04 and 158.73 ± 31.96 for patients with obesity and control group, respectively, with no significant difference between the groups studied (p >0.05). The value of urinary excretion of magnesium was lower than the reference values in both groups, with no significant difference between the groups studied (p >0.05). The plasma concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances was significantly higher in patients with obesity compared to the control group (p <0.001). There was no correlation between levels of magnesium biomarkers and the concentration of TBARS (p >0.05). Conclusion: Patients with obesity showed a reduced dietary magnesium intake which seems to induce hypomagnesuria as a compensatory mechanism. The marker of oxidative stress evaluated in this study was not influenced by magnesium.

Background and Aims: In the current work, we studied the effects of exercise and stevia rebaudiana (R) extracts on diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) in type 2 diabetic rats and their possible underlying mechanisms. Methods: : Thirty-two male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly allocated into 4 equal groups; a) normal control group, b) DM group, type 2 diabetic rats received 2 ml oral saline daily for 4 weeks, c) DM+ Exercise, type 2 diabetic rats were treated with exercise for 4 weeks and d) DM+ stevia R extracts: type 2 diabetic rats received methanolic stevia R extracts. By the end of the experiment, serum blood glucose, HOMA-IR, insulin and cardiac enzymes (LDH, CK-MB), cardiac histopathology, oxidative stress markers (MDA, GSH and CAT), myocardial fibrosis by Masson trichrome, the expression of p53, caspase-3, α-SMA and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) by immunostaining in myocardial tissues were measured. Results: T2DM caused a significant increase in blood glucose, HOMA-IR index, serum CK-MB and LDH, myocardial damage and fibrosis, myocardial MDA, myocardial α-SMA, p53, caspase-3, Nrf2 and TH density with a significant decrease in serum insulin and myocardial GSH and CAT (p< 0.05). On the other hand, treatment with either exercise or stevia R extracts significantly improved all studied parameters (p< 0.05). Moreover, the effects of stevia R was more significant than exercise (p< 0.05). Conclusion: Both exercise and methanolic stevia R extracts showed cardioprotective effects against DCM and Stevia R offered more cardioprotective than exercise. This cardioprotective effect of these lines of treatment might be due to attenuation of oxidative stress, apoptosis, sympathetic nerve density and fibrosis and upregulation of the antioxidant transcription factor, Nrf2.
