The effect of organotin compounds (OTs) on the accumulation of the lipid peroxidation (LPO) carbonyl by-products, which react with thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) in fresh and cryopreserved sperm of Russian sturgeon, was studied. It was found that incubation (1 hour) of Russian sturgeon sperm with OTs (CH3SnCl3, (CH3)2SnCl2, (CH3)3SnCl, (n-C4H9)2SnCl2, (n-C4H9)3SnCl, (C6H5)2SnCl2, (C6H5)3SnCl) in concentration 0.1 mM led to the promotion of the accumulation of TBARS in native semen. Dimethyl- (DMT) and diphenyltin dichlorides (DPT) exhibited the greatest promoting activity, and the LPO level of both native and cryopreserved sperm of Russian sturgeon, including those in modified Stein's cryomedium, increased in the presence of these compounds. It was found that Russian sturgeon's cryopreserved sperm had lower sensitivity to the promotion of sperm LPO by DMT and DPT compared with the native sperm. The protective effect of Stein’s cryomedium decreased in the presence of the studied OTs. The results suggest that accumulation of OTs by gonad of fish is another stress factor affecting the cell productivity in the cryopreservation process.

The antioxidant properties of almond green husks (Cvs. Duro Italiano, Ferraduel, Ferranhês, Ferrastar and Orelha de Mula), chestnut skins and chestnut leaves (Cvs. Aveleira, Boa Ventura, Judia and Longal) were evaluated through several chemical and biochemical assays in order to provide a novel strategy to stimulate the application of waste products as new suppliers of useful bioactive compounds, namely antioxidants. All the assayed by-products revealed good antioxidant properties, with very low EC50 values (lower than 380 μg/mL), particularly for lipid peroxidation inhibition (lower than 140 μg/mL). The total phenols and flavonoids contents were also determined. The correlation between these bioactive compounds and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity, reducing power, inhibition of β-carotene bleaching and inhibition of lipid peroxidation in pig brain tissue through formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, was also obtained. Although, all the assayed by-products proved to have a high potential of application in new antioxidants formulations, chestnut skins and leaves demonstrated better results.

Cyclosporine A (CyA) is the first-line immunosuppressant used for the management of solid organ transplantation and autoimmune diseases. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can attack all types of macromolecules including DNA and damage it. Epicatechin (EC) is one of the most potent antioxidants present in the human diet. Particularly high levels of this compound are found in tea, apples, and chocolate. The goal of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of EC against CyA toxicity and its antioxidant activity in transplanted patients to avoid its side effects. Results obtained showed that, CyA exert its toxic effect by increasing the free radicals and ROS that causes lipid peroxidation and cell damage, this is detected by elevation of hydroperoxides and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, while the activities of antioxidant enzymes include (superoxide dismutase [SOD], catalase [CAT] and glutathione peroxidase [GPx]) were significantly decreased as compared with control rats. The deleterious toxic effects of CyA are, at least in part, due to increased production of free radicals and ROS. Treatment of rats with epicatchin ameliorates the toxicity of CyA by decreasing the lipid peroxidation and enhanced the antioxidants enzyme activities.

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.

The antioxidant capacity of oregano (OEO) and clove (CLEO) essential oils and black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) flower extract (SNE) were compared with butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) regarding its protection against lipid peroxidation and microbial counts in salmon burgers stored at 4 °C for 14 days and after cooking. The content of total phenols was 5.74% in OEO, 2.64% in CLEO and 2.67 % in the SNE. The total phenolic content and the antioxidant capacity were significantly higher (p < 0.05) for SNE and OEO. Both essential oils showed a similar IC50 and inhibition percentage of lipid peroxidation to BHT. The combination of OEO and SNE reduced 29% of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), while BHT reduced 31% of TBARS generated during refrigeration storage in salmon burgers in relation to the control sample without antioxidants. Additionally, the microbial counts after 14 days of refrigeration were the lowest in burgers when the combination of OEO and SNE was used. This study concludes that OEO and SNE can be used as inhibitors of lipid oxidation in salmon products and as natural candidates to replace commonly used synthetic antioxidants and antimicrobials in these food products.

Background: Oxidative damage contributes to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SZ). Redox imbalance may lead to increased lipid peroxidation, which produces toxic aldehydes like 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) ultimately leading to oxidative stress. Conversely, implications of oxidative stress points towards an alteration in HNE-protein adducts and activities of enzymatic and antioxidant systems in schizophrenia. Objectives: Present study focuses on identification of HNE-protein adducts and its related molecular consequences in schizophrenia pathology due to oxidative stress, particularly lipid peroxidation. Material and Methods: Oxyblotting was performed on seven autopsied brain samples each from cortex and hippocampus region of schizophrenia patients and their respective normal healthy controls. Additionally, thiobarbituric acid substances (TBARS), reduced glutathione (GSH) levels and catalase (CAT) activities associated with oxidative stress, were also estimated. Results: Obtained results indicates substantially higher levels of oxidative stress in schizophrenia patients than healthy control group represented by elevated expression of HNE-protein adducts. Interestingly, hippocampus region of schizophrenia brain shows increased HNE protein adducts compared to cortex. An increase in catalase activity (4.8876 ± 1.7123) whereas decrease in antioxidant GSH levels (0.213 ± 0.015µmol/ml) have been observed in SZ brain. Elevated TBARS level (0.3801 ± 0.0532ug/ml) were obtained in brain regions SZ patients compared with their controls that reflects an increased lipid peroxidation (LPO). Conclusion: Conclusion: We propose the role of HNE modified proteins possibly associated with the pathology of schizophrenia. Our data revealed increase lipid peroxidation as a consequence of increased TBARS production. Furthermore, altered cellular antioxidants pathways related to GSH and CAT also highlight the involvement of oxidative stress in schizophrenia pathology.

The effects of chronic endurance exercise and food restriction on nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation (LP) of gastrocnemius muscle during aging were studied in male, Fischer 344 rats. One set of rats aged 6 and 18 mo were assigned to an exercise group (treadmill running) or an age-matched sedentary control group. After 6 mo (at the ages of 12 and 24 mo), LP and levels of alpha-tocopherol and its oxidized form, alpha-tocopheryl quinone, were measured. The extent of LP was determined in homogenates by measuring the content of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. After homogenization, the muscles were immediately evaluated for basal LP and also incubated in the presence of oxidant stressors for 2 h to assess antioxidant capacity (AOC) and for 24 h to estimate total peroxidizable lipid (TPL). Basal LP was not affected by age or exercise. AOC was not affected by exercise at either age. However aging significantly decreased AOC and increased alpha-tocopheryl quinone in both sedentary and exercised groups. TPL was not affected by age, but was increased by exercise training (P less than 0.05). Another set of rats was divided into the following three groups at 3 mo of age: sedentary, fed ad libitum (S); sedentary, caloric restricted by alternate day feeding (R); and exercised by forced treadmill running (E). Two years later, when the rats were 27 mo of age, the extent of LP was assessed.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
