Benzene Toluene

The low-weight aromatic hydrocarbons benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m/p-xylene, and o-xylene (BTEX), are among the most common hazardous sources of environmental contamination. The present review is the first summarization the data obtained during epidemiological, animals and cell culture studies concerning BTEX action on different aspects of male reproductiontesticular cell apoptosis, spermatogenesis, cytogenetics, pituitary and peripheral hormones and intracellular signaling systems. Analysis of the available literature demonstrates that BTEX can exert hazardous effects on various reproductive sites, including the pituitary-gonadal axis, hormone receptors and intracellular signaling molecules, testicular cell apoptosis, spermatogenesis and fertility. There are indications, that BTEX reproductive effects could be due to the ability of BTEX to affect embryonal gonads, to induce testicular cell mutagenesis and destroy chromosomes, to promote accumulation of free radicals, to affect hormones and hormonal receptors, cell cycle and CNS structures regulating reproduction, but only the role of free radicals in mediating BTEX action on male reproduction has been proven by experiments yet. Some approaches to prevent negative action of BTEX are outlined.

Stress conditions in the elderly means an imbalance condition of biological, psychological, and social are closely related to the response to the threats and dangers faced by the elderly. Pressure or interference that is not fun is usually created when the elderly see a mismatch between the state and the 3 systems available resources. Maintenance actions that need to be done there are 2 types, namely : prevention of exposure to a stressor (precipitation factor) and serious treatment of the imbalance condition/ illness (precipitation factor). Prevention includes: sports, hobbies, friendship, avoid eating foods high in free radicals and harmful substances, sex and setting arrangements adequate rest. Habits of the above if done at a young age to avoid exposure to stress in the elderly. Treatment of the imbalance condition / illness, include : drinking water, meditation, eating fresh fruit, and adequate rest.

It is now known that astrocytes are not merely supporting cells but they also play an important role in neuronal funcions. Astrocytes tightly ensheat neuronal synapses and regulate the excitation of neurons by uptaking neurotransmitters; reglulate the cerebral blood flow, cerebral fluid volume and extracellular concentrations of ions. They also supply fuel in the form of lactate and provide free radical scavangers such as glutathione for active neurons. These facts indicate that impaired function of astrocytes may lead to neuronal dysfunction. After brain injury (stroke, trauma or tumors) astrocytes are swollen and release active molecules such as glutamate or free radicals resulting in neuronal dysfunction. Thus, investigation of the molecular mechanisms of astrocyte function may reveal novel targets for the development of therapeutic tools in neuronal diseases.
