Increased markers of oxidative stress and acute-phase inflammation are prevalent in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis therapy (MHD), and are associated with increased mortality and hospitalization rates and decreased erythropoietin responsiveness. No adequately powered studies have examined the efficacy of antioxidant therapies on markers of inflammation and oxidative stress. We test...

Most irreversible blindness observed with glaucoma and retina-related ocular diseases, including age-related macular degeneration diabetic retinopathy, have their origin in the posterior segment of eye, making physiopathology both complex interconnected. In addition to age factor, these diseases share same mechanism disorder based essentially on oxidative stress. this context, imbalance between...

BACKGROUND Inflammation, endothelial activation and oxidative stress have been established as key events in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) is protective against atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, but its association with inflammation, endothelial activation and oxidative stress is not well established. OBJECTIVES (1) To...

The use of oregano (Origanum vulgare) essential oil (OEO) has become popular in skin care products. However, scientific research regarding its effects on human skin cells is scarce. In this study, we investigated the biological activity of a commercially available OEO, which is high in carvacrol content, in a human skin cell disease model. OEO induced marked antiproliferative effects and signif...

multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by a complex immune response. because of the complex nature of ms pathogenesis, a panel of biomarkers derived from different platforms will be required to reflect disease-related alterations. monitoring and evaluation of molecules associated with the pathogenesis of the disease would provide useful ...

abstract objective: globally, 3-5.2 percent of people suffer from diabetes which is one of the most serious metabolic disorders resulting in an increase in inflammatory biomarkers e.g. interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and c-reactive protein. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress and fasting blood glucose, lipid profile and an...

The article discusses the role of inflammatory reactions in formation attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Based on a wide and modern material, mechanisms development oxidative stress with free radicals are considered, which, turn, initiate cascade reactions. Inflammation factors analyzed detail, biomarkers neuroinflammation distinguished their changing neurotransmitter balance is r...

Background: Patients with type 2 diabetes have increased levels of oxidative stress and inflammation. A high fruit and vegetable intake may be beneficial. Objective: To study whether fruit and vegetable intake and levels of plasma antioxidants relate to markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in a group of patients with type 2 diabetes. Further, to investigate whether plasma antioxidants a...

Background and Objectives: Diabetes, a common metabolic disorder, is prevalent in many countries. Nephropathy is a main debate’s side effect. Role of oxidative stress is well known in induction of diabetic nephropathy while carvacrol is a potent anti-oxidant that might attenuate oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of carvacrol in d...
