The excessive production of free radicals causes oxidative damage and degenerative diseases. Whereas, catalase is a macromolecule with a specific activity, but Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a small molecule with no activity. The peels of red dragon fruit (H. polyrhizus) are potential to be natural exogenous antioxidants. This research aimed to determine the effects of methanol fraction from H. polyrhizus peels on catalase activity and MDA level. The peel was macerated using chloroform and fractionated using methanol. The stress condition was done through five-day fasting and ten-minute swimming per day. The activity of catalase and MDA was measured using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Thirty five rats were divided into 7 groups: normal, negative, dose I (5 mg/200gBW), dose II (10 mg/200gBW), dose III (20 mg/200gBW), positive control (quercetin) (4 mg/200gBW) and vitamin E (17.64 mg/kg). The activity of catalase in the normal, negative, vitamin E, and quercetin, dose I, II, and II respectively were: 28.37; 7.8; 24.85; 34.33; 59.92; 28.18; and 70.85 Unit/mL. The average MDA level in the groups respectively were: 0.042; 0.051; 0.034; 0.042; 0.037; 0.033; 0.030 μg/mL. The result of One Way ANOVA test showed that the catalase activity in dose III was significantly different than normal group; the MDA levels in all groups were significantly different than normal group. This research revealed that methanol fraction from H. polyrhizus peels is a potent antioxidant for its capacity to increase the activity of catalase and reduce the MDA level in rats with oxidative stress.

Catalase (KatA) is known to play an important role in oxidative stress resistance in many bacterial species and a homologue exists in Helicobacter hepaticus, a member of the enterohepatic Helicobacter species. Here, a katA mutant was constructed by insertional mutagenesis and its oxidative stress phenotype was investigated. Catalase activity was readily detected [196 units (mg protein crude cell extract)−1] in the wild-type, whereas the mutant strain was deficient in, but not devoid of, activity. In contrast, Helicobacter pylori katA strains lack detectable catalase activity and wild-type H. pylori generally contains higher specific activity than H. hepaticus. Wild-type H. hepaticus cells tolerated 6 % O2 for growth, whilst the katA mutant could not survive at this oxygen level. Even at the optimal O2 level, the growth of the H. hepaticus katA strain was severely inhibited, which is also in contrast to H. pylori katA strains. Wild-type H. hepaticus cells withstood exposure to 100 mM H2O2 but the katA mutant cells were killed by the same treatment. Wild-type cells suffered no significant DNA damage by H2O2 treatment (100 mM for 6 min), whilst the same treatment resulted in severe DNA fragmentation in the katA mutant. Thus H. hepaticus KatA plays an important role as an antioxidant protein.

Background: Preeclampsia is a disease with a variety of theories that describe the uncertainty of the pathophysiology. According to the oxidative stress theory, preeclampsia originates from the failure of trophoblast invasion during the implantation process, causing ischemia and placental hypoxia, which in turn causes cell damage, including placental endothelial cell dysfunction. Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E have an important role in preventing preeclampsia. Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in maintaining cell membranes and anti-inflammatory processes. At the same time, vitamin E acts as a fat-soluble antioxidant that can prevent oxidative stress, inhibit proinflammatory cytokines, and protect fatty acids from oxidation. Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of omega-3 and vitamin E on the level of ROS and NO in pregnant rats with preeclampsia models. Method & Material: This type of research is experimental with Post-Test Only Control Group Design. The sample consisted of 35 pregnant rats, which were divided into five groups. On the 19th day, blood serum was taken to check the levels of ROS and NO. The measuring instrument used is a spectrophotometer with the ELISA method. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro Wilks normality test. After the parametric test was completed, the hypothesis was tested using one-way ANOVA. Results: The average levels of ROS in each group were K- : 121,684 ng/L, K+ : 143,885 ng/L, P1 : 136,250 ng/L, P2 : 132.433 ng/L, and P3 : 122,993 ng/L. The average levels of NO obtained were K-: 29,502 ng/L, K+: 26,053 ng/L, P1: 27,250 ng/L, P2: 27,555 ng/L, and P3: 32,278 ng/L. The results of one-way ANOVA analysis showed that the administration of omega-3 and vitamin E had a significant difference between the control and treatment groups, both at levels of ROS (p=0.001) and levels of NO (p=0.001). Conclusion: The administration of omega-3, vitamin E, and omega-3 plus vitamin E can reduce ROS levels in pregnant rats with preeclampsia models. There is an increase of NO levels only in the administration of omega-3 plus vitamin E. Keywords: [Omega-3, Vitamin E, Oxidative stress, ROS, NO, Preeclampsia].

Response To Exercise

Sixty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to one of eight treatment groups to determine whether vitamin E (VitE) could help protect the heart from oxidative stress induced by either dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or exercise. Oxidative stress was indicated by lipid peroxidation [i.e., thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS)] and two scavenger enzymes. VitE supplementation (250 IU VitE/kg of diet) was given to one-half of the rats. DHEA acetate (0.35 mol/kg body wt) was injected intraperitoneally to one-half of the animals while the others were injected with corn oil vehicle. All treatments lasted for 5 wk. Next, 32 rats were randomly assigned to run for 1 h on a motorized rodent treadmill at 21 m/min up a 12% grade and then were killed. The remaining rats were killed at rest. Exercise increased TBARS in heart independent of treatment (1.94 +/- 0.12 vs. 2.43 +/- 0.11 nmol/mg protein). VitE attenuated the amount of TBARS in heart when DHEA was given. DHEA significantly increased TBARS in heart. Total and selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase activities in heart were unaffected by any treatment. DHEA increased catalase activity at rest. Exercise increased catalase activity (71.5 +/- 7.9 vs. 97.4 +/- 9.5 mu mol x min-1 x mg protein-1); however, when VitE was given, the response to exercise was attenuated (74.1 +/- 8.4 vs. 80.9 +/- 9.9 mu mol center dot min-1 x mg protein-1). These results suggest that aerobic exercise and DHEA are mild oxidative stressors on the heart and that VitE supplementation can be beneficial in attenuating these combined stressors on the heart.

Vitro Effect

The aim of this paper was to describe the in vitro effect of sodium fluoride (NaF) on the specific activity of the major erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes, as well as on the membrane malondialdehyde concentration, as indicators of oxidative stress. For this purpose, human erythrocytes were incubated with NaF (0, 7, 28, 56, and 100 μg/mL) or NaF (100 μg/mL) + vitamin E (1, 2.5, 5 and 10 μg/mL). The malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration on the surface of the erythrocytes was determined, as were the enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GlPx). Our results demonstrated that erythrocytes incubated with increasing NaF concentrations had an increased MDA concentration, along with decreased activity of antioxidant enzymes. The presence of vitamin E partially reversed the toxic effects of NaF on erythrocytes. These findings suggest that NaF induces oxidative stress in erythrocytes in vitro, and this stress is partially reversed by the presence of vitamin E.

ABSTRACT This study purposed to determine the effect of hot oil exposure on styrofoam and black plastic bag on MDA levels in rats. The study was purely experimental, a sample of 28 Wistar rats, weight ±200gram, age 3 months, divided into 4 groups, treatment was given for 28 days. Negative control was given feed and drink; styrofoam group was given feed, drink, oil on styrofoam; the black plastic group was given feed, drink, oil on black plastic; positive control was given feed, drink, toluene mixed oil. On 14th and 28th-day blood was taken from the tail and examined for plasma MDA by spectrophotometer λ=532nm. One-way ANOVA shows there is an effect of hot oil exposure on styrofoam and black plastic on MDA levels on the 14th and 28th days (p=0.000). Post hoc showed the styrofoam group had a significant increase in MDA levels on 14th (p=0.003) and 28th (p=0.043) compared to negative controls, the black plastic group as well on 14th (p=0.000) and 28th (p=0.000). MDA levels between styrofoam and black plastic groups significantly different on 14th (p=0.012), but not on 28th (p=0.340). There was a significant MDA increase in the styrofoam group between 14th and 28th days (p=0.009), and in the black plastic group (p=0.031). This shows that hot oil exposure on styrofoam and black plastic cause cell oxidative stress.

Major Mediator

Glutamate is the major mediator of excitatory signals in the mammalian central nervous system. Extreme amounts of glutamate in the extracellular spaces can lead to numerous neurodegenerative diseases. We aimed to clarify the potential of the following vitamin E isomers, tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) and α-tocopherol (α-TCP), as potent neuroprotective agents against glutamate-induced injury in neuronal SK-N-SH cells. Cells were treated before and after glutamate injury (pre- and post-treatment, respectively) with 100 - 300 ng/ml TRF/α-TCP. Exposure to 120 mM glutamate significantly reduced cell viability to 76 % and 79 % in the pre- and post-treatment studies, respectively; however, pre- and post-treatment with TRF/α-TCP attenuated the cytotoxic effect of glutamate. Compared to the positive control (glutamate-injured cells not treated with TRF/α-TCP), pre-treatment with 100, 200, and 300 ng/ml TRF significantly improved cell viability following glutamate injury to 95.2 %, 95.0 %, and 95.6 %, respectively (p < 0.05).The isomers not only conferred neuroprotection by enhancing mitochondrial activity and depleting free radical production, but also increased cell viability and recovery upon glutamate insult. Our results suggest that vitamin E has potent antioxidant potential for protecting against glutamate injury and recovering glutamate-injured neuronal cells. Our findings also indicate that both TRF and α-TCP could play key roles as anti-apoptotic agents with neuroprotective properties.
