Neuroprotective effects of Ganoderma lucidum on spinal cord injury

Int. j. morphol; 36 (1), 2018
SUMMARY: Traumatic injury to the spinal cord results in the delayed dysfunction and neuronal death. Impaired mitochondrial function, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lipid peroxidation occur soon after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), while the activation of compensatory molecules that...

Efecto del ejercicio físico sobre marcadores de estrés oxidativo en pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2

Rev. méd. Chile; 146 (3), 2018
Sedentarism, overweight and malnutrition generate an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species leading to a state of chronic oxidative stress. In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, oxidative stress alters pancreatic insulin secretion and the actions of the hormone on target cells, contri...

Anti-inflammatory effects of hyperbaric oxygen on irradiated laryngeal tissues

Abstract Introduction To manage the complications of irradiation of head and neck tissue is a challenging issue for the otolaryngologist. Definitive treatment of these complications is still controversial. Recently, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is promising option for these complications. Objective In thi...

Oxidative stress in patients with endemic pemphigus foliaceus and healthy subjects with anti-desmoglein 1 antibodies

An. bras. dermatol; 93 (2), 2018
Abstract: Background: Previous studies have shown oxidative stress in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, nevertheless, it remains unknown whether a similar response is characteristic of endemic pemphigus foliaceus in Peru. Objectives: To determine the oxidative stress response in endemic pemph...

Expresión y distribución de las Tioredoxinas durante asfixia perinatal. Su rol en la regulación del equilibrio redox
EXPRESSION AND DISTRIBUTION OF THIOREDOXINS IN PERINATAL ASPHYXIA

Prensa méd. argent; 104 (1), 2018
This article deals with the expression and distribution of Thioredoxins during perinatal asphyxia, and its roll in the regulation of the redox system. Disorders in the gaseous interchange through the placenta and the fetal lungs, can lead to what is known as the perinatal asphyxia (PA). The PA can involv...

Characterization of oxidative stress biomarkers in a freshwater anomuran crab

Braz. j. biol; 78 (1), 2018
Abstract In general, environmental responses at level of populations or communities are preceded by alterations at lower biological levels which can be efficiently detected by the analysis of biomarkers. We analyzed the oxidative biomarkers TBARS and Catalase in Aegla singularis, a freshwater crustacean ...

The effect of pycnogenol on lymphatic nodes and adhesion during in a peritoneal adhesion model in rats

Acta cir. bras; 33 (2), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the effects of pycnogenol on peritoneal adhesions and additionally to investigate the immunohistochemical effects of free oxygen radicals and reactive lymph nodes detected in the adhesive tissue that was sampled surrounding the cecum on intra-abdominal adhesions. Metho...

Investigation of the antioxidant effects of pheniramine maleate and nebivolol on testicular damage in rats with experimentally induced testis torsion

Acta cir. bras; 33 (2), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To investigate the biochemical, histopathologic, and spermatogenetic changes in the detorsionated testicle after experimental torsion and to study the antioxidant effects of pheniramine maleate and nebivolol. Methods: Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into 4 groups: G...

Occupational hazards, DNA damage, and oxidative stress on exposure to waste anesthetic gases

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 68 (1), 2018
Abstract Background and objectives The waste anesthetic gases (WAGs) present in the ambient air of operating rooms (OR), are associated with various occupational hazards. This paper intends to discuss occupational exposure to WAGs and its impact on exposed professionals, with emphasis on genetic damage ...

Estresse oxidativo como mecanismo comum a várias doenças vasculares: uma análise crítica

Estresse oxidativo é um conceito em evolução. Muito mais do que um simples desbalanço entre oxidantes e antioxidantes, representa um desequilíbrio de vias de sinalização celular redox. Sinalização redox envolve a produção de espécies reativas de oxigênio, radicalares e não radicalares, assi...
