background: nitric oxide (no) is synthesized from l-arginine by a family of enzymes known as nitric oxide synthases. low concentrations of no is essential in biology and physiology of spermatozoa, but high amounts of no is toxic and has negative effects on sperm functions. moreover, sperm membrane contains high concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids that are highly susceptible to oxidati...

Background: A cataract is a disease caused by various factors, one of which the aging process. With increasing age, formation free radicals will cause pathological reactions in lens and other toxic compounds, resulting oxidative reactions. Administration vitamin C injection as an antioxidant can reduce reactivity lenses induced sodium selenite. This study aims to determine preventive effect adm...

We aimed to evaluate the effects of black carrot extract on testicular carboxylesterase (Ces) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione S-transferases (GST) and reduced (GSH) in male rats exposed bisphenol A (BPA). Adult Wistar albino were divided into 4 groups as follows (n = 7/group): control, BPA, BPA+Black carrot. Testicular Ces, MDA, GST GSH analyzed by using a spectrophotometer system....

High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) plays a protective role in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA); however, recent findings suggest that oxidative modifications could lead to dysfunctional HDL AAA. This study aimed at testing the effect of oxidized on lesions and humoral immune responses mouse model AAA induced by elastase, evaluating whether antibodies against modified can be found patients. particles...

BACKGROUND: Lupus nephritis (LN) is associated with chronic renal failure and a high mortality rate. Tumor growth factor-β (TGF-β) plays basic part in keeping up immune homeostasis, meanwhile extensive oxidation of the lipid membrane LN causes arrangement malondialdehyde (MDA). Up to date, mechanism hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy has not been elucidated well. Hence this study was conducted ass...

Phthalates are plastic-derived contaminants that ubiquitous in natural environments and function as pro-oxidants. The extent to which phthalates bioaccumulate wild animals associations with oxidative stress poorly understood. Here, we describe relationships between maternally-derived phthalates, lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, MDA) the dietary antioxidant α-tocopherol eggs of European herr...
