Lipid peroxidation can be described generally as a process under which oxidants such as free radicals attack lipids containing carbon-carbon double bond(s), especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Over the last four decades, an extensive body of literature regarding lipid peroxidation has shown its important role in cell biology and human health. Since the early 1970s, the total publish...

The present study was designed to determine whether lipid peroxidation was associated with the impairment of the fertilizing capability of gilthead sperm after acute exposure to anionic surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS). Spawned eggs and sperm were collected from adult giltheads. Sperm suspensions (100,000,000 spermatozoa/mL) were dosed separately with different concentrations of SDS (0....

objective: the effect of herbal medicine is more useful than synthetic medicines. the present research paper aims to show the effects of leaves extracts of zizyphus spina christi (zsc) on lipid profile, lipid peroxidation and activities of aminotransferase enzymes in streptozocin induced diabetic adult male rats. materials and methods: fifty six male rats weighing 150-200 gm were included in th...

Peroxides are often used as models to induce oxidative damage in cells in vitro. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role of lipid peroxidation in peroxide-induced cell death. To this end (i) the ability to induce lipid peroxidation in C6 rat astroglioma cells of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) and t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) (ii) the relation between pero...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW The review aims at elucidating the role of lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and treatment. RECENT FINDINGS CRC is one of the most overriding threats to public health. Despite a broad range of treatments, up to 50% of patients will inevitably develop incurable metastatic disease. Peroxidation of PUFAs contributes to aug...

The ability of erythrocytes to resist lipid peroxidation may be a useful marker of antioxidant status in alcoholic patients, in whom depletion of dietary antioxidants may combine with increased production of free radicals to produce liver damage. There are conflicting reports, however, on the resistance of erythrocytes from alcoholic patients to lipid peroxidation. This study examined the relat...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of good glycemic control on serum lipids levels and lipid peroxidation, and to find out the relationship between the level of malondialdehyde and HbA1c in type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty type 2 diabetic patients aged 40-60 years with the history of diabetes for more than 10 years were studied. Glycemic control was stable...

BACKGROUND Alteration in antioxidant defence and increase in oxidative stress that results in tissue injury is characteristic of diabetes. We evaluated the protective effects of kolaviron (a flavonoid complex extracted from the seeds of Garcinia kola) on hepatic antioxidants, lipid peroxidation and apoptosis in diabetic rats. METHODS To induce diabetes, rats were injected with streptozotocin ...

BACKGROUND It has been suggested that oxidative stress is a crucial event in some forms of urticaria. AIM To evaluate the blood oxidant/antioxidant profile of patients suffering from urticaria induced by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). METHODS We measured the activity of the antioxidant enzymes copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/ZnSOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and ...
