DNA Damage Stress: Cui Prodest?

Heat Stress-Induced DNA Damage

Although the heat-stress response has been extensively studied for decades, very little is known about its effects on nucleic acids and nucleic acid-associated processes. This is due to the fact that the research has focused on the study of heat shock proteins and factors (HSPs and HSFs), their involvement in the regulation of transcription, protein homeostasis, etc. Recently, there has been so...

DNA damage signals facilitate osmotic stress adaptation.

OSMOTIC STRESS OCCURS WHEN the concentration of dissolved compounds in water surrounding cells and organisms changes. For example, changes in dissolved salt (inorganic ion) concentration in the environment are common for soil bacteria exposed to drought or rain, intertidal and estuary organisms facing fluctuating salinity, and kidney cells of the mammalian renal medulla. Osmotic changes in the ...

The effect of pumpkin seed and endurance training on oxidative stress factors and DNA damage

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of pumpkin seed and endurance training on oxidative stress factors and DNA damage of slow-twitch muscle tissue in male rats poisoned with hydrogen peroxide. Materials and Methods: A total of 48 adult male rats weighing 220±20 g at eight weeks were administered in accordance with stress interventions (hydrogen peroxide), pumpkin seed and end...
