Oxidative stress is a key feature in atherogenesis, since reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in all stages of the disease, from endothelial dysfunction to atheromatic plaque formation and rupture. It is therefore important to identify reliable biomarkers allowing us to monitor vascular oxidative stress status. These may lead to improved understanding of disease pathogenesis and developm...

The ability of microorganisms to adapt to changing environments challenges the prediction of their history-dependent behavior. Cellular biomarkers that are quantitatively correlated to stress adaptive behavior will facilitate our ability to predict the impact of these adaptive traits. Here, we present a framework for identifying cellular biomarkers for mild stress induced enhanced microbial rob...

For human body, oxidative stress is considered pathophysiological mechanism in different pathologies therefore oxidative damage biomarkers detection is real help for clinical purposes. Easy to use devices that can help in the early diagnosis and innovative therapeutic approaches are needed. This paper presents an extensive review of sensitive and specific devices such as biosensors used for rea...

Oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various disorders and diseases. Biomarkers are needed for assessment of oxidative stress status in vivo and also for health examination, diagnosis at early stage, prognosis, safe and efficient drug development, and evaluation of efficacy of drugs, foods, beverages, and supplements. Lipids...

objective:the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of piroxicam co-administration with ethanolic stem-bark extract of khaya senegalensis on biomarkers of oxidative stress and gastro-toxicity in wistar rats. materials and methods: thirty healthy male and female albino wistar rats (190-220 g) were grouped into six (n = 5) with designated treatments including: normal saline, piroxi...

BACKGROUND Postprandially induced oxidative stress can cause damage to mitochondrial components and initiate cellular degradative processes; which are related to obesity comorbidities. AIM OF THE STUDY This trial sought to determine whether weight loss induced by caloric restriction provides antioxidant protection to reduce the postprandial response of mitochondrial function and oxidative str...

increased serum uric acid is known to be a major risk related to the development of several oxidative stress diseases. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of parsley, quercetin and kaempferol on serum uric acid levels, liver xanthine oxidoreductase activity and two non-invasive biomarkers of oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde concentration) in norma...

Background: Oxidative stress in obese people is an important pathogenic mechanism of an obesity-associated metabolic syndrome. We evaluated the association between circulating leptin levels with biomarkers of oxidative stress in overweight and obese participants.    Methods: This study was performed on 189 overweight and obese people aged 18-60 years old. Serum leptin, superoxide dis...

The performance of every plant in an environment is an indicator of how the plant can withstand the various environmental conditions. This study investigated the toxicity of crude oil on the growth performance, chlorophyll contents, enzymatic activities and oxidative stress biomarkers of eight accessions of Zea mays. The growth enzyme (amylase and invertase) activities, as well as oxidative s...
