Evidence of blood and muscle redox status imbalance in experimentally induced renal insufficiency in a rabbit model
(2019)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is accompanied by a disturbed redox homeostasis, especially in end-stage patients, which is associated with pathological complications such as anemia, atherosclerosis, and muscle atrophy. ... -
Exercise in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency: Harmful or harmless? A narrative review
(2019)Objectives. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, theoretically, renders red blood cells (RBC) susceptible to oxidative stress. G6PD deficiency has also been found in other types of cells than RBC, such as ... -
Exercise-induced reductive stress is a protective mechanism against oxidative stress in peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(2018)Eccentric exercise is a well-studied modality that induces oxidative stress and muscle damage. Furthermore, it promotes inflammatory response in which peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are the major mediators. ... -
Experimental verification of regression to the mean in redox biology: differential responses to exercise
(2016)An important methodological threat when selecting individuals based on initial values for a given trait is the “regression to the mean” artifact. This artifact appears when a group with an extreme mean value during a first ... -
Feed supplemented with polyphenolic byproduct from olive mill wastewater processing improves the redox status in blood and tissues of piglets
(2015)In the present study, a polyphenolic byproduct from olive mill wastewater (OMWW) was used for making piglet feed with antioxidant activity. For examining the antioxidant capacity of the feed, 30 piglets of 20 d old were ... -
Going retro: Oxidative stress biomarkers in modern redox biology
(2016)The field of redox biology is inherently intertwined with oxidative stress biomarkers. Oxidative stress biomarkers have been utilized for many different objectives. Our analysis indicates that oxidative stress biomarkers ... -
Grape pomace improves performance, antioxidant status, fecal microbiota and meat quality of piglets
(2018)In the present study, grape pomace (GP) was used as feed additive in the diet of weaned piglets in order to develop innovative feedstuffs and to investigate their potential beneficial effects on welfare, productivity and ... -
Grape stem extracts from three native Greek vine varieties exhibit strong antioxidant and antimutagenic properties
(2020)Background/Aim: The winemaking procedure results in the generation of stems, a by-product that is harmful to the environment. Concomitantly, stems are rich in polyphenols and, hence, they are putatively beneficial for human ... -
Highly stable cathodes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells: Novel carbon supported Au@PtNiAu concave octahedral core-shell nanocatalyst
(2022)Despite the remarkable research efforts, the lack of ideal activity and state-of-the-art electrocatalysts remains a substantial challenge for the global application of fuel cell technology. Herein, is reported the synthesis ... -
Histopathological evaluation and redox assessment in blood and kidney tissues in a rabbit contrast-induced nephrotoxicity model
(2017)Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a leading cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury as a result of iodinated contrast-media use for diagnostic purposes. Pathophysiology remains unclear. In the present study ... -
IDO decreases glycolysis and glutaminolysis by activating GCN2K, while it increases fatty acid oxidation by activating AhR, thus preserving CD4+ T-cell survival and proliferation
(2018)It is generally hypothesized in the literature that indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), by degrading L-tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway, suppresses CD4+ T-cell function by inducing apoptosis, inhibiting proliferation ... -
In vitro and in vivo assessment of vitamin A encapsulation in a liposome–protein delivery system
(2019)Vitamin A (VA) is an essential nutrient needed in small amounts by humans and supports a wide range of biological actions. Retinol, the most common and most biologically active form of VA has also been found to inhibit ... -
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase, by degrading L-tryptophan, enhances carnitine palmitoyltransferase i activity and fatty acid oxidation, and exerts fatty acid-dependent effects in human alloreactive CD4+ T-cells
(2016)Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is expressed in antigen presenting cells and by degrading L-tryptophan along the kynurenine pathway suppresses CD4+ T-cell proliferation, induces apoptosis and promotes differentiation ... -
Inhibition of ozone-induced SP-A oxidation by plant polyphenols
(2007)Surfactant protein-A (SP-A) is the best studied and most abundant of the protein components of lung surfactant and plays an important role in host defense of the lung. It has been shown that ozone-induced oxidation of SP-A ... -
An integrated approach for assessing the in vitro and in vivo redox-related effects of nanomaterials
(2021)Over the last few decades, nanotechnology has risen to the forefront of both the research and industrial interest, resulting in the manufacture and utilization of various nanomaterials, as well as in their integration into ... -
Iron Supplementation Effects on Redox Status following Aseptic Skeletal Muscle Trauma in Adults and Children
(2017)Exercise-induced skeletal muscle microtrauma is characterized by loss of muscle cell integrity, marked aseptic inflammatory response, and oxidative stress. We examined if iron supplementation would alter redox status after ... -
Land spreading of wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry and potential effects on soil microbes: Effects of the antioxidant ethoxyquin and its metabolites on ammonia oxidizers
(2016)Thiabendazole (TBZ), imazalil (IMZ), ortho-phenylphenol (OPP), diphenylamine (DPA), and ethoxyquin (EQ) are used in fruitpackaging plants (FPP) with the stipulation that wastewaters produced by their application would be ... -
A lightly roasted coffee extract improves blood and tissue redox status in rats through enhancement of GSH biosynthesis
