Obesity-Associated Oxidative Stress: Strategies Finalized to Improve Redox State
Obesity represents a major risk factor for a plethora of severe diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and cancer. It is often accompanied by an increased risk of mortality and, in the case of non-fatal health problems, the quality of life is impaired because of associated conditions, including sleep apnea, respiratory problems, osteoarthritis, ...
متن کاملRedox state and methods to evaluate oxidative stress in liver damage: From bench to bedside.
Oxidative stress is importantly involved in the pathophysiology of various liver diseases. The redox state participates on the course of the inflammatory, metabolic and proliferative liver diseases. The main sources of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) are represented by the mitochondria and cytochrome P450 enzymes in the hepatocyte, Kupffer cells and neutrophils. Cells are provided with effic...
متن کاملThiol switches in redox regulation of chloroplasts: balancing redox state, metabolism and oxidative stress.
In photosynthesizing chloroplasts, rapidly changing energy input, intermediate generation of strong reductants as well as oxidants and multiple participating physicochemical processes and pathways, call for efficient regulation. Coupling redox information to protein function via thiol modifications offers a powerful mechanism to activate, down-regulate and coordinate interdependent processes. E...
متن کاملAntioxidant Therapeutic Strategies for Cardiovascular Conditions Associated with Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress (OS) refers to the imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the ability to scavenge these ROS by endogenous antioxidant systems, where ROS overwhelms the antioxidant capacity. Excessive presence of ROS results in irreversible damage to cell membranes, DNA, and other cellular structures by oxidizing lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Oxidative stre...
متن کاملInflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Obesity
Obesity is a chronic disease of multifactorial origin and can be defined as an increase in the accumulation of body fat. Adipose tissue is not only a triglyceride storage organ, but studies have shown the role of white adipose tissue as a producer of certain bioactive substances called adipokines. Among adipokines, we find some inflammatory functions, such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6); other adipoki...
