[PMID: 37823149 PMCID: PMC10563689 DOI: 10.1002/fsn3.3523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Aging and aging-related chronic disorders are one of the principal causes of death worldwide. The prevalence of these disorders is increasing gradually and globally. Considering this unwavering acceleration of the global burden, seeking alternatives to traditional medication to prevent the risk of aging disorders is needed. Among them, lycopene, a carotenoid, is abundant in many fruits and vegetables, including tomatoes, grapefruits, and watermelons, and it has a unique chemical structure to be a potent antioxidant compound. This nutraceutical also possesses several anti-aging actions, including combating aging biomarkers and ameliorating several chronic disorders. However, no systematic evaluation has yet been carried out that can comprehensively elucidate the effectiveness of lycopene in halting the course of aging and the emergence of chronic diseases linked to aging. This review, therefore, incorporates previous pre-clinical, clinical, and epidemiological studies on lycopene to understand its potency in treating aging disorders and its role as a mimic of caloric restriction. Lycopene-rich foods are found to prevent or attenuate aging disorders in various research. Based on the evidence, this review suggests the clinical application of lycopene to improve human health and alleviate the prevalence of aging and aging disorders.

Potential Benefits of Lycopene Consumption: Rationale for Using It as an Adjuvant Treatment for Malaria Patients and in Several Diseases. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14245303. [PMID: 36558462 PMCID: PMC9787606 DOI: 10.3390/nu14245303] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Malaria is a disease that affects thousands of people around the world every year. Its pathogenesis is associated with the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) and lower levels of micronutrients and antioxidants. Patients under drug treatment have high levels of oxidative stress biomarkers in the body tissues, which limits the use of these drugs. Therefore, several studies have suggested that RONS inhibition may represent an adjuvant therapeutic strategy in the treatment of these patients by increasing the antioxidant capacity of the host. In this sense, supplementation with antioxidant compounds such as zinc, selenium, and vitamins A, C, and E has been suggested as part of the treatment. Among dietary antioxidants, lycopene is the most powerful antioxidant among the main carotenoids. This review aimed to describe the main mechanisms inducing oxidative stress during malaria, highlighting the production of RONS as a defense mechanism against the infection induced by the ischemia-reperfusion syndrome, the metabolism of the parasite, and the metabolism of antimalarial drugs. Furthermore, the effects of lycopene on several diseases in which oxidative stress is implicated as a cause are outlined, providing information about its mechanism of action, and providing an evidence-based justification for its supplementation in malaria.

Abstract
PURPOSE The research was carried out to investigate the possible ameliorative effect of lycopene on TiO2 NPs-induced male reproductive toxicity and explore the possible mechanism. METHODS Ninety-six healthy male Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were equally divided into eight groups (control group, 50 mg/kg TiO2 NPs group, 5 mg/kg LYC group, 20 mg/kg LYC group, 40 mg/kg LYC group, 50 mg/kg TiO2 NPs + 5 mg/kg LYC group, 50 mg/kg TiO2 NPs + 20 mg/kg LYC group, 50 mg/kg TiO2 NPs + 40 mg/kg LYC group), and the mice were treated by intragastric administration every day for 30 days in this research. Sperm parameters, testicular histopathology, oxidant and antioxidant enzymes, and cell apoptosis-related protein expression in the testicular tissue were analyzed. RESULTS The results showed that TiO2 NPs exposure significantly decreased sperm count and motility, and TiO2 NPs also increased sperm malformation in the epididymis; these characteristics were improved when co-administration with LYC. Testicular histopathological lesions like disorder of germ cells arrange, detachment, atrophy, and vacuolization were observed after TiO2 NPs exposure, and these abnormalities were effectively ameliorated by co-administration with LYC. Oxidative stress was induced by TiO2 NPs exposure as evidenced by increased the level of MDA and decreased the activity of SOD as well as the level of anti-O2-, and these alterations were effectively prevented by co-administration with LYC. LYC also alleviated TiO2 NPs-induced germ cell apoptosis by inhibiting mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, as shown by the upregulation of Bcl-2, the downregulation of Bax, Cleaved Caspase 3, and Cleaved Caspase 9. CONCLUSION LYC could ameliorate TiO2 NPs-induced testicular damage via inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis, which could be used to alleviate the testicular toxicity associated with TiO2 NPs intake.

Abstract
Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a widespread plasticizer that persists in the environment and can significantly contribute to serious health hazards of liver especially oxidative stress injury. Lycopene (LYC) as a carotenoid has recently gained widespread attention because of antioxidant activity. However, the potential mechanism of DEHP-induced hepatotoxicity and antagonism effect of LYC on it are still unclear. To explore the underlying mechanisms of this hypothesis, the mice were given by gavage with LYC (5 mg/kg) and DEHP (500 or 1000 mg/kg). The data suggested that DEHP caused liver enlargement, reduction of antioxidant activity markers, increase of oxidative stress indicators and disorder of cytochrome P450 enzymes system (CYP450s) homeostasis. DEHP-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) activated the NF-E2-relatedfactor2 (Nrf2) and nuclear xenobiotic receptors (NXRs) system including Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), Pregnane X receptor (PXR) and Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR). Interestingly, these disorders and injuries were prevented after LYC treatment. Taken together, DEHP administration resulted in hepatotoxicity including oxidative stress injury and disordered CYP450 system, but these alterations might be ameliorated by LYC via crosstalk between AHR-Nrf2 pathway.

Destructive effect of iron overload in brain tissue of albino rats: Ameliorative role of silver immobilized organo-modified casein nanocomposite as co-treating agent with Deferasirox. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2021; 67:126794. [PMID: 34052583 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2021.126794] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2020] [Revised: 05/03/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron (Fe) is one of the most essential trace elements in the body that play crucial role in organisms' survival, however, excess deposition of it puts patients at higher risk of iron overload and tissue injury through production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), elevation of oxidative stress, development of endocrine disorders among which hypogonadism, and increased incidence of cells damage in vital organs. As deferasirox (DFX) is an approved Fe chelator drug, its inability to cross blood brain barrier (BBB) remains a definite obstacle against its use as Fe chelator in the brain. Lately, attention to nanoparticles usage in researches has been widely grown since their role in improving drug therapeutic effects and scavenging free radicals make them good candidates as chelating and antioxidant agents. AIMS Herein, after induction of iron overload, organo-modified casein immobilized silver nanocomposite (Ag@Tr-CA) was designed and explored as combined therapy with DFX drug to develop its penetrating efficiency toward BBB and its Fe chelating affinity. Moreover, to distinguish the advanced antioxidant character as well as the beneficial impact of it on lowering brain's oxidative stress. Meanwhile, its capability in regulating serum pituitary hormones such as follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin (PRL), and testosterone (T), ameliorating DNA damage, and improving brain's histopathological alterations was also assessed. METHODS The physicochemical characteristics of Ag@Tr-CA was carried out using X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) analyses. Effect of iron overload and subsequent treatment with DFX + Ag@Tr-CA on brain of adult male albino rats were evaluated using colorimetric methods to determine brain Fe concentration and brain oxidative stress biomarkers. Assessment of serum Fe indices and serum pituitary hormones (FSH, LH, PRL) and T were estimated by ELISA technique. Determination of DNA damage in cerebral cortex cells was accomplished using the alkaline version of comet assay, while detection of brain's histopathological alterations was performed by examination of H&E sections under light microscope. RESULTS The physicochemical characteristics of Ag@Tr-CA showing the proficiency of Ag nanoparticles (∼35 nm) in creating highly-ordered negatively charged micro-sized casein particles (∼450 μm). After induction of iron overload, DFX + Ag@Tr-CA combination efficiently down brain Fe concentration, brain oxidative stress markers, and DNA damage in cerebral cortex cells linked with improvements in brain histopathological alterations. Comparing DFX therapeutic action alone to its combination to whether Ag@Tr-CA or Tr-CA (organo-modified cross-linked casein nanoparticles) as co-treating agents revealed no significant effect on serum Fe indices, FSH, LH, PRL, and T against iron overload disease. CONCLUSION The present results showed that combination of Ag@Tr-CA nanocomposite with DFX makes it a promising co-treating agent against iron overload through improving the physiological, molecular, and histological structure of the brain in iron overloaded rats.

Abstract
This study was designed to reveal the protective effects of dietary supplementation of curcumin against renal cell tumours and oxidative stress induced by renal carcinogen iron nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA) in ddY male mice. The results showed that mice treated with a renal carcinogen, Fe-NTA, a 35% renal cell tumour incidence was noticed, whereas renal cell tumour occurrence was elevated to 80% in Fe-NTA promoted and N-diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-initiated mice as compared with saline- treated mice. No incidence of tumours has been observed in DEN-initiated non-promoted mice. Diet complemented with 0.5% and 1.0% curcumin fed prior to, during and after treatment with Fe-NTA in DEN-initiated animals, tumour incidence was reduced dose-dependently to about 45% and 30% respectively. Immunohistochemical studies also revealed the increased formation of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE)-modified protein adducts and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in kidney tissue of mice treated with an intraperitoneal injection of Fe-NTA (6.0 mg Fe/kg body weight.). Furthermore, Fe-NTA treatment of mice also resulted in significant elevation of malondialdehyde (MDA), serum urea, and creatinine and decreases renal glutathione. However, the changes in most of these parameters were attenuated dose-dependently by prophylactic treatment of animals with 0.5% and 1% curcumin diet, this may be due to its antioxidative impact of curcumin. These results suggest that intake of curcumin is beneficial for the prevention of renal cell tumours and oxidative stress damage mediated by renal carcinogen, Fe-NTA.

Abstract
Exposure of fluorine at toxic concentrations causes serious damage by accumulating in especially bones, kidneys, and other soft tissues. Fluorine at cytotoxic concentrations may cause DNA damage. This study aims to determine the level of DNA damage due to sodium fluoride (NaF) at different hours (3rd, 12th, and 24th hours) and in IC50 concentrations designated for each hour and reveal the protective effect of lycopene on possible damage. The best enhancer concentrations (1 μM) of microtitration (MTT) viability test and proliferation of lycopene and IC50 values of NaF at the 3rd, 12th, and 24th hour were 9600, 5500, and 3200 μM, respectively. DNA damage significantly increased in all NaF-treated groups in comparison with the control group (p < 0.05). DNA damage due to NaF+LYC application significantly decreased in comparison with the control group (p < 0.05). Lycopene application significantly increased the expression levels of the Ku70 and Ku80 genes which have a part in DNA repair (p < 0.05). The statistical data showed that application of lycopene which is an important antioxidant molecule may be beneficial for decreasing NaF-induced DNA damage. In conclusion, applying lycopene for cytotoxicity due to fluorine in NRK-52E cell line had different effects based on the dosage and time; thus, it can be a potential option for preventing fluorosis-induced toxicity and developing new treatment approaches.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of lycopene on a hyperoxia-induced lung injury model in rat pups. Full-term rat pups were included in the study 12-24 h after delivery. The pups were separated into 4 groups: normoxia control (NC), hyperoxia control (HC), hyperoxia + lycopene (HL), and normoxia lycopene (NL). The normoxia groups were housed in ambient air, and the hyperoxia groups in > 85% O2. HL and NL groups received 50 mg lycopene in oil/kg body weight/day delivered intraperitoneally (i.p.), the other groups received oil alone. On day 11, the rat pups were sacrificed and their lungs removed. Statistically significant injury was observed in all histological parameters measured (MLI, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and apoptosis) in the HC group (HC vs NC, p = 0.001). This injury could not be reversed with lycopene treatment (HC vs HL, 0.05; NC vs HL, p = 0.001). With hyperoxia, statistically significant decreases were observed in biochemical parameters in terms of SOD, MDA, and IL-6 values (HC vs NC: SOD, p = 0.02; MDA, p = 0.043; IL-6, p = 0.001). The use of lycopene did not provide any improvement in these values (HC vs HL, p > 0.05). Hyperoxia or lycopene had no effect on IL-1β and GPx (p > 0.05). When comparing NC and NL groups, negative effects were observed in the group given lycopene in terms of MLI, PCNA, apoptosis, and IL-6 (all parameters, p = 0.001). We observed that 50 mg lycopene in oil/kg body weight/day given via i.p. had no curative effect on the hyperoxia-induced lung injury in newborn rats and may even induce adverse effects.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible therapeutic or protective effects of lycopene on diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced testicular lipid peroxidation and on the associated changes in spermatological parameters and histopathological architecture of rat testis. DEN is a carcinogenic substance that can be derived from chemicals used in agriculture, such as insecticides and nitrate. The rats were assigned to control, lycopene, DEN(1), DEN(2), lycopene + DEN(1), lycopene + DEN(2), DEN(1) + lycopene and DEN(2) + lycopene groups. During the study, lycopene was administered by oral gavage at a dose of 10 mg kg-1 bw-1 every other day for 10 days and DEN was administered at a dose of 200 mg kg-1 bw-1 as a single dose intraperitoneally. DEN was applied for 30 days in group DEN(1) and for 90 days in group DEN(2). Malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, antioxidant enzymes activities, spermatological parameters, the weight of the reproductive organs (v. seminalis, prostate, testis and epididymis) and the histopathological structure were determined. MDA levels significantly increased, while GSH and antioxidant enzymes' activities decreased in DEN groups (p < 0.001). There was an increase in the rate of abnormal spermatozoa and a decrease in sperm density and motility, and reproductive organ weight (the weight of the right and left testis) in both DEN groups. Lycopene has normalised biochemical and spermatological parameters and reproductive organ weight. The histopathological examination of testicular tissue showed that the most significant histopathological change in DEN groups was the seminiferous tubule dilatation. These results suggest that besides the protective effects, the therapeutic effect of lycopene is possibly due to its antioxidant effects on DEN-induced testicular toxicity.

Abstract
Daily intake of vegetables can reduce the risk of cancer and lifestyle-related diseases. However, supplementary intake of β-carotene alone has been reported to increase the risk of lung cancer in male cigarette smokers and people who were exposed to asbestos. The mechanism of the antioxidative properties of carotenoids in vivo, especially under oxidative stress conditions, still remains unclear. To investigate the antioxidant properties of dietary compounds, we examined the effects of chemically modified astaxanthin (Ax-C-8) using a rat model of ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA)-induced renal oxidative injury. Ax-C-8 demonstrated lethally toxic effects on the rats in a dose-dependent manner. Following supplementation with Ax-C-8 (0.02%, w/w) for 30 days, the rats were euthanized 1, 4 and 24 h after injection of Fe-NTA. After 4 h, Ax-C-8 pretreatment suppressed the elevation of creatinine and blood urea nitrogen and protected the rats from renal tubular necrosis and the formation of 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-modified proteins. After 24 h, pretreatment with Ax-C-8 maintained the renal antioxidant enzyme levels and renal tubules. Here, we demonstrate the antioxidant effects of Ax-C-8 against Fe-NTA-induced oxidative injury in rats receiving a regular diet. These data suggest that dietary intake of astaxanthin may be useful for the prevention of renal tubular oxidative damage.

Abstract
Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediate much of the DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation. Among carotenoids, lycopene and β-carotene, present in tomato juice, are known to be strong radical scavengers. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of tomato juice intake on the levels of DNA damage and oxidative stress in human whole blood induced by in vitro exposure to X-rays. Methods Ten healthy adults were asked to drink 190 g of tomato juice, containing 17 mg lycopene and 0.25 mg β-carotene, per day for 3 weeks and then refrain from drinking it for 3 weeks. Peripheral whole blood samples were collected before and after the intake period of tomato juice and after the washout period. The blood samples were exposed in vitro to X-ray doses of 0, 0.1, 0.5, and 2 Gy. Cytogenetic damage was measured using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay and the dicentrics (DIC) assay. The level of oxidative stress was determined using serum 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) and plasma reactive oxygen metabolite-derived compounds (d-ROMs). The concentration of carotenoids in plasma was measured at the three time points. Results The levels of 8-oxo-dG tended to decrease during the intake period and increase during the washout period. A non-significant inverse correlation was noted between the plasma concentration of lycopene plus β-carotene and the level of 8-oxo-dG (P = 0.064). The radiation-induced MN and DIC frequencies increased in a dose-dependent manner, and when compared at the same dose, the MN and DIC frequencies decreased during the intake period compared with those at baseline and then increased during the washout period. The results suggest that continuous tomato juice consumption non-significantly decreases extracellular 8-oxo-dG, d-ROMs, and MN. Tomato juice intake had minimal or no effect on radiation-induced 8-oxo-dG and d-ROMs. For most radiation doses, continuously tomato juice intake lowered the levels of MN and DIC. Conclusion Tomato juice consumption may suppress human lymphocyte DNA damage caused by radiation, but further examination is required. Trial registration 2014-001 and 2014-R06.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury may occur due to nephron-sparing surgery in patients with a solitary kidney or restricted renal parenchymas. Prophylactic agents do not always achieve their intended effects and may exhibit side effects. The present study was designed to investigate the possible protective effects of lycopene against hypoxia-induced renal damage. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve Wistar rats were used in the study. Female Wistar rats were divided into two groups of six rats each; the first group served as the control, and the second group was treated for two days with oral lycopene (4 mg/kg per day) before surgery. All Wistar rats were subjected to right nephrectomy and abdominal aorta clamping for 45 minutes to induce ischemia, followed by 24 hours of reperfusion. Blood samples were collected from all rats twice before surgery and 24-hours after surgery for analyses of serum urea, creatinine, sodium, and potassium levels. Left nephrectomies were performed following reperfusion. Then histopathological scores were estimated, and malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) levels in renal tissue samples were measured, and compared between groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences between the control, and the lycopene group with respect to postischemic urea, creatinine, or potassium levels. A significant difference between the groups was observed with respect to postischemic sodium levels (p=0.028). Pathological scores were higher in the control group than in the lycopene group (p<0.05). Mean tissue MDA levels in the control group were higher than in the lycopene group (p=0.055). The mean tissue GSH-Px levels were similar in the control, and lycopene groups. The mean GSH levels in the control group were higher than in the lycopene group (p>0.05). The mean tissue SOD levels were similar in the control, and lycopene groups. The mean CAT levels in the control group were higher than in the lycopene group (p>0.05). CONCLUSION Lycopene may have a protective effect on the short-term biochemical and histopathological parameters following renal ischemia/perfusion injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Malnutrition has been associated with oxidative damage by altered antioxidant protection mechanisms. Specifically, the aim of this study was to evaluate oxidative damage (DNA and lipid) and antioxidant status (superoxide dismutase [SOD], glutathione peroxidase [GPx], and catalase [CAT] mRNA, and protein expression) in thymus from malnourished rat pups. METHODS Malnutrition was induced during the lactation period by the food competition method. Oxidative DNA damage was determined quantifying 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine adduct by high-performance liquid chromatography. Lipid peroxidation was assessed by the formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. Levels of gene and protein expression of SOD, GPx, and CAT were evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot, respectively. Antioxidant enzyme activities were measured spectrophotometrically. RESULTS Oxidative DNA damage and lipid peroxidation significantly increased in second-degree (MN-2) and third-degree malnourished (MN-3) rats compared with well-nourished rats. Higher amounts of oxidative damage, lower mRNA expression, and lower relative concentrations of protein, as well as decreased antioxidant activity of SOD, GPx, and CAT were associated with the MN-2 and MN-3 groups. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study demonstrated that higher body-weight deficits were related to alterations in antioxidant protection, which contribute to increased levels of damage in the thymus. To our knowledge, this study demonstrated for the first time that early in life, malnutrition leads to increased DNA and lipid oxidative damage, attributable to damaged antioxidant mechanisms including transcriptional and enzymatic activity alterations. These findings may contribute to the elucidation of the causes of previously reported thymus dysfunction, and might explain partially why children and adults who have overcome child undernourishment experience immunologic deficiencies.

Abstract
Coconut water contains several uncharacterized substances and is widely used in the human consumption. In this paper we detected and quantified ascorbic acid and caffeic acid and total phenolics in several varieties of coconut using HPLS/MS/MS (25.8 ± 0.6 µg/mL and 1.078 ± 0.013 µg/mL and 99.7 µg/mL, respectively, in the green dwarf coconut water, or 10 mg and 539 µg and 39.8 mg for units of coconut consumed, 500 ± 50 mL). The antioxidant potential of four coconut varieties (green dwarf, yellow dwarf, red dwarf and yellow Malaysian) was compared with two industrialized coconut waters and the lyophilized water of the green dwarf variety. All varieties were effective in scavenging the DPPH radical (IC50=73 µL) and oxide nitric (0.1 mL with an IP of 29.9%) as well as in inhibiting the in vitro production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (1 mL with an IP of 34.4%), highlighting the antioxidant properties of the green dwarf which it is the most common used. In cell culture, the green dwarf water was efficient in protecting against oxidative damages induced by hydrogen peroxide.

Abstract
Capsaicin is employed as a condiment and colorant in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Metabolism of capsaicin produces reactive phenoxy radicals, which inflict damage to DNA. Micronutrients such as zinc and selenium facilitate the expression of tissue repair factors, and lycopene has natural antioxidant action. The current study investigated the possible protective role of zinc, selenium and lycopene singly and in combination in ameliorating capsaicin induced mutagenicity. Fifty four Swiss albino mice received the vehicle, zinc (10 mg/kg), selenium (2 mg/kg), lycopene (2 mg/kg) alone, capsaicin alone (2 mg/kg), and capsaicin along with zinc (10mg/kg), selenium (2 mg/kg) and lycopene (2 mg/kg) in combination by the oral route for 32 days. Animals were killed 24 h after the last treatment, and micronuclei formation in bone marrow and peripheral blood were assessed. Antioxidant status in plasma, the total protein, nucleic acids, and DNA fragmentation was assessed in the liver homogenate. Capsaicin substantially damaged nuclear material and increased oxidative stress. Individual therapy with lycopene was most effective in reducing micronuclei formation, lipid peroxidation, and in augmenting ferric reducing ability of plasma. This was closely followed by zinc and selenium. Zinc protected against DNA fragmentation followed by lycopene and selenium. The combination therapy was effective over individual treatment against DNA fragmentation, micronuclei and malondialdehyde formation. The combination did not exert a substantial benefit over individual therapy in enhancing the total antioxidant ability of plasma. The risk of capsaicin induced mutagenicity was lowered with the combination by reducing the generation of free radicals and by enhancing tissue repair.

Abstract
The accumulation of oxidative damage to biomolecules, such as DNA, is known to induce alterations in the cell's mechanisms and structure that might lead to the aging process. DNA mismatch repair system (MMR) corrects base mismatches generated during DNA replication that have escaped the proofreading process. In addition, antioxidant enzymes can reduce reactive oxygen species effects in order to protect cells from oxidizing damage. In order to determine the importance of these associated factors during the aging process, in this study, levels of MMR proteins MSH2 and MLH1, as well as microsatellite markers, were compared in liver, lung, and brain of juvenile, adult, and old, both female and male, individuals from two species of wild bats: the short-lived Myotis velifer and the longer lived Desmodus rotundus. Catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase were also analyzed to determine if the antioxidant protection correlates negatively with DNA damage. Antioxidant activities were higher in the longer lived D. rotundus than in M. velifer. Furthermore, old M. velifer but not old D. rotundus bats had reduced MMR levels and increased microsatellite instability. Therefore, although our results correlate the reduced MMR efficiency, the deficient antioxidant activity, and the increase in DNA damage with the aging process, this is not always true for all living organisms.

Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of xanthophyll supplementation on production performance, antioxidant capacity (measured by glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), and reduced glutathione:oxidised glutathione ratio (GSH:GSSG)) and lipid peroxidation (measured by malondialdehyde (MDA)) in breeding hens and chicks. In Expt 1, 432 hens were fed diets supplemented with 0 (control group), 20 or 40 mg xanthophyll/kg diet. Blood samples were taken at 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 d of the trial. Liver and jejunal mucosa were sampled at 35 d. Both xanthophyll groups improved serum SOD at 21 and 28 d, serum T-AOC at 21 d and liver T-AOC, and serum GSH:GSSG at 21, 28 and 35 d and liver GSH:GSSG. Xanthophylls also decreased serum MDA at 21 d in hens. Expt 2 was a 2 × 2 factorial design. Male chicks hatched from 0 or 40 mg in ovo xanthophyll/kg diet of hens were fed a diet containing either 0 or 40 mg xanthophyll/kg diet. Liver samples were collected at 0, 7, 14 and 21 d after hatching. Blood samples were also collected at 21 d. In ovo-deposited xanthophylls increased antioxidant capacity and decreased MDA in the liver mainly within 1 week after hatching. Maternal effects gradually vanished during 1–2 weeks after hatching. Dietary xanthophylls increased antioxidant capacity and decreased MDA in the liver and serum mainly from 2 weeks onwards. Data suggested that xanthophyll supplementation enhanced antioxidant capacity and reduced lipid peroxidation in different tissues of hens and chicks.

Abstract
Oxidative stress has been implicated in various pathological processes including burn induced multiple organ damage. This study investigated the effects of lycopene treatment against oxidative injury in rats with thermal trauma. Under ether anesthesia, shaved dorsum of the rats was exposed to 90°C bath for 10s to induce burn and treated either vehicle (olive oil) or lycopene (50mg/kg orally). Rats were decapitated 48 h after injury and the tissue samples from lung and kidney were taken for histological analysis and the determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) levels, myeloperoxidase (MPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and caspase-3 activities. Proinflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-1β, were assayed in blood samples. Severe skin scald injury caused a significant decrease in GSH levels, SOD and CAT activities, and significant increases in MDA levels, MPO and caspase-3 activities of tissues. Similarly, plasma TNF-α and IL-1β were elevated in the burn group as compared to the control group. Lycopene treatment reversed all these biochemical indices. According to the findings of the present study, lycopene possesses antiinflammatory, antiapoptotic and antioxidant effects that prevents burn-induced oxidative damage in remote organs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of our study was to evaluate the protective effect of the strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, lycopene, on oxidative stress in a rat model of cerulein-induced acute edematous pancreatitis. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were pretreated with lycopene (50 mg/kg, i.p.) or saline 15 min before cerulein was given 20 μg/kg (i.p.) at 1-h intervals within 4 h. Twelve hours after cerulein or saline injections, the animals were killed by decapitation. Blood samples were collected to analyze amylase, lipase, and proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1ß). Pancreatic tissues were taken for the determination of tissue glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activities. Tissue samples were also examined histologically. RESULTS Acute pancreatitis caused significant decrease in tissue GSH levels and Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase activity, while pancreatic MDA levels and MPO activity were increased. Furthermore, TNF-α, IL-1ß, and amylase lipase levels were also significantly increased. On the other hand, lycopene pretreatment reserved all these biochemical indices as well as histopathologic alterations that were induced by cerulein. CONCLUSIONS According to the results, lycopene protects the pancreatic tissues from oxidative damage induced by cerulein, and this effect possibly involves the inhibition of neutrophil infiltration and lipid peroxidation. These results suggest that high dietary intake of tomatoes may have protective effects against acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
The radioprotective effect of lycopene against liver damage was investigated in 80 female Sprague Dawley rats (10 per group). Early-group rats included: controls (group 1), lycopene (group 2), radiotherapy alone (group 3), and lycopene + radiotherapy (group 4). Lycopene (5 mg/kg per day) was administered orally for 7 days; single-fraction 8 Gy abdominopelvic radiotherapy was administered on day 8. Early-group rats were sacrificed on day 10. Late-group rats (groups 5 – 8) underwent treatment with the same regimens but, in groups 6 and 8, lycopene was administered until all rats were sacrificed, 60 days postradiotherapy. Liver malondialdehyde levels increased significantly and glutathione (GSH) levels, GSH-peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity decreased significantly in radiotherapy versus control groups. In lycopene + radiotherapy groups, malondialdehyde levels decreased significantly and GSH levels, GSH-Px and SOD activity increased significantly compared with radiotherapy groups. No significant between-group histopathological differences were observed in early groups; in late groups, histopathological changes increased significantly in the radiotherapy group versus control group. A significant decrease in histopathological changes occurred in the lycopene + radiotherapy group compared with the radiotherapy group. Lycopene supplementation significantly reduced radiotherapy-induced oxidative liver injury.

Abstract
Epidemiologic studies suggest that lycopene may reduce the risk of certain cancers, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. We hereby examined in vivo anticarcinogenic effects of supplemental lycopene on hepatic DNA damage (Comet formation and levels of 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine, 8-oxo-dG) and human MutT homologue (hMTH1) mRNA expression in Mongolian gerbils injected i.p. with ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe/NTA). Gerbils were pre-treated with two dose (10 and 20 mg/kg BW) of lycopene on alternate morning for 10 d. Six hours after the last lycopene supplementation, the gerbils received Fe/NTA (0.16 mmol/10 mL/kg BW) and were killed 3 h later. We found that the livers of Fe/NTA-treated animals exhibited a 5-fold increase in Comet formation (expressed as tail moment), a 2.6-fold increase in 8-oxo-dG levels and a significant increase in hMTH1 mRNA expression. Supplemental lycopene completely inhibited Comet formation (P<0.001) and significantly suppressed 8-oxo-dG levels and hMTH1 expression in a dose-dependent manner. The expression levels of hMTH1 mRNA are highly correlated with hepatic levels of 8-oxo-dG and tail moment, suggesting that hMTH1 gene expression represents a molecular marker of oxidative DNA damage. These results demonstrate the potential of lycopene as a promising chemopreventive agent against hepatotumorigenesis.

Abstract
Diving vertebrates represent unique models for the study of the physiological responses to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxidative stress because of their adaptability to cope with dive-derived ROS production. We hypothesized that in the skeletal muscle of a diving mammal, the hooded seal ( Cystophora cristata (Erxleben, 1777)), ROS production increases with maturation but the accumulation of oxidative damage does not. To test this, we analyzed the tissue capacity to produce ROS, the accumulation of oxidative damage, and the activity and protein content of the cooper, zinc, and manganese dependent superoxide dismutases (Cu,ZnSOD, MnSOD) in skeletal muscle from neonates, weaned pups, and adult hooded seals. Our results showed higher tissue capacity to produce ROS, higher Cu,ZnSOD and MnSOD activities, and higher MnSOD protein content in adult seals than in pups. No differences in oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, or DNA were detected among groups. Results suggest that increased SOD activity likely counters the oxidative damage commonly associated with increased ROS production. These findings highlight the unusual tolerance of skeletal muscle of seals to increased ROS production.

Abstract
It is beneficial to seek scientific basis for the effects of functional foods. Natural pigments derived from plants are widely known as possible antioxidants. Black soybean contains a larger amount of anthocyanins than regular soybean. Here we studied the antioxidative effect of a beverage obtained via citric acid fermentation of black soybean (BBS), using a rat model of renal oxidative injury induced by a renal carcinogen, ferric nitrilotriacetate. BBS (10 ml/kg) was orally administered 30 min before ferric nitrilotriacetate treatment. Renal lipid peroxidation was significantly suppressed in the BBS-pretreated animals concomitant with decrease in 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal-modified proteins and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine. Maintenance of renal activities of antioxidative enzymes including catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and quinone reductase was significantly better in the BBS-pretreated rats. Elevation of serum creatinine and urea nitrogen was significantly suppressed in the BBS-pretreated rats. These data suggest that dietary intake of BBS is useful for the prevention of renal tubular oxidative damage mediate by iron, and warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate (TRAMP) is a model for progressive prostate cancer that mirrors the stages of the human form. In this study, the effects of a diet enriched with processed whole tomatoes on survival, tumorigenesis, and progression of prostate cancer, and the antioxidant and inflammatory status of TRAMP mice were investigated. Tomato diet significantly increased overall survival (P < 0.01), delayed progression from prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia to adenocarcinoma, and decreased the incidence of poorly differentiated carcinoma. Biochemical data disclosed an increase in serum antioxidant activity and a reduction of serum inflammation/angiogenesis biomarkers of particular importance in prostate carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The activity of a single IP administration (15 or 30 mg/Kg body weight) of vanillyl nonanoate, a simplified analog of capsiate, on ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA)-mediated oxidative damage was investigated. A sub-lethal dose of Fe-NTA (15 mg Fe/Kg body weight) was administered IP to rats; animals were sacrificed, and kidney and plasma were collected 1 h after injection. In response to the Fe-NTA administration, a reduction of the levels of total lipids, total unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol was observed, accompanied by a rise in the concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), conjugated dienes fatty acids hydroperoxides and 7-ketocholesterol in plasma and kidney 1 h after administration. A pre-treatment with synthetic capsiate (SCPT) showed remarkable protective effect on the reduction of the levels of total lipids, total unsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol, and the cellular antioxidant vitamin E, inhibiting the increase of MDA, conjugated dienes fatty acids hydroperoxides and 7-ketocholesterol in the plasma and kidney. The protective effect of SCPT and two analogues (vanillyl alcohol and vanillin) during the linoleic acid and cholesterol oxidation was investigated in in vitro systems, providing evidence of definite structure-activity relationships.

Abstract
The relationships between DNA damage and oxidative stress in the digestive gland, gills and haemocytes of the freshwater bivalve Unio tumidus were investigated. Two markers of genotoxicity were measured: DNA breaks by means of the comet assay, and oxidative DNA lesions by means of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to electrochemical detection. Lipid peroxidation was evaluated by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) tissue levels. Effects were studied after exposure of bivalves for 6 days to benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) (50 and 100 microg l(-1)) and ferric iron (20 and 40 mg l(-1)), applied alone or in combination. Lipid peroxidation in the digestive gland and gills resulted from exposure to Fe3+ or B[a]P whatever the concentrations tested. DNA oxidatively formed lesions were induced in the two tissues at a higher level after B[a]P exposure than after Fe3+ treatment. No significant dose-response relationship was found with the two compounds and no synergistic effect was observed between Fe3+ and B[a]P. The gills appeared less sensitive than the digestive gland to DNA lesions expressed as 8-oxodGuo and comet results. Good correlations were noted between 8-oxodGuo and comet. MDA and DNA damage did not correlate as well, although it was stronger in the digestive gland than in the gills. Production of mucus by the gills likely served to prevent lesions by reducing the bioavailability of the chemicals tested, which could explain that dose-effect relationships and synergistic effects were not observed.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that diet influences the initiation and progression of prostate cancer. Herein, we review associations of specific foods and nutrients with prostate cancer, summarizing important and clinically relevant emerging data on this complex topic. Foods and nutrients associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer include lycopene, soy, cruciferous vegetables, vitamin E and selenium. Although prospective clinical trials of dietary supplements and dietary modification to prevent or control prostate cancer are underway, definitive clinical evidence is currently lacking.

Abstract
Aging is a process where individuals decrease the performance of their physiological systems and cellular stress response, making them more susceptible to disease and death. The increase in DNA damage associated with age might be recognized as the accumulation of physiological and environmentally induced mutations accompanied with a decline in DNA repair. DNA mismatch repair (MMR) is the main postreplicative correction pathway, which is known to decrease with age. However, since infrequent occurrence of direct DNA damage contrasts with the extensive cell and tissue dysfunction seen in older individuals, the withdrawing of DNA-repairing systems might be also related to epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation. It has been reported that the physiological stress related to breeding might accelerate the acquisition of aging-related markers; therefore, the aim of this work was to link age with epigenetic modifications in this animal population. Hence, the correlation of Msh2 gene silencing with the deterioration of breeding female mice associated to aging was determined. Combined bisulfite restriction analysis assay was used to compare methylation on DNA isolated from twelve-month-old retired breeders against nulliparous female mice aged-matched, and two-month-old young adults. Our experiments clearly reveal Msh2 promoter hypermethylation associated to the aging process. A higher degree methylation was additionally observed in breeding females DNA. Nevertheless, this additional methylation did not correlate with a further decrease Msh2 mRNA, suggesting that the increase in methylation in old retired breeder might account for further epigenetic changes that could additionally promote the aging process.

Abstract
Ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI) is mediated by reactive oxygen species and inflammatory infiltration, among others. The present study was performed to evaluate the interference of isoflavone in ischemic AKI in rats and to determine whether it was mediated by the heme oxygenase (HO) system. The treatment with dry extract of isoflavone, 8 mg/kg/day, resulted in improved renal function reducing oxidative damage. The use of HO inhibitor zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP), 50 micromol/kg, exacerbated the rates of oxidative damage, urinary peroxides, malondialdehyde (MDA), thiols and catalyse activity, whereas an HO inducer, Hemin, 1 mg/100 g body weight, demonstrated a protective effect on renal function, with a reduction in the rates of oxidative damage. Isoflavone showed a promising role in the protection against oxidative renal dysfunction and its role is probably mediated by heme-oxygenase.

Abstract
Intraperitoneal injection of ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA) to rats and mice results in iron-induced free radical injury and cancer in kidneys. This study was designed to investigate the effects of garlic oil on Fe-NTA-induced damage and tumor promotion. Pretreatment of rats with garlic oil at a dose regimen of 50-100 mg/kg body weight for a week significantly and dose dependently protected against Fe-NTA induced damage as well as tumor promotion. Garlic oil afforded protection against hepatic lipid peroxidation, generation of hydrogen peroxide, preserved glutathione levels and activities of antioxidant enzymes. A protection against Fe-NTA induced hepatic tumor promotion was also apparent as inhibition in the modulation of hepatic tumor markers viz., ornithine decarboxylase activity and DNA synthesis. These results clearly demonstrate the role of oxidative stress and its relation to tumor promotion and suggest protective effects of garlic oil against Fe-NTA induced hepatic toxicity and it can serve as potent chemopreventive agent to suppress oxidant-induced tissue injury and carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is an efficient chemotherapeutic agent used against several types of tumors; however, its use is limited due to severe cardiotoxicity. Since it is accepted that reactive oxygen species are involved in DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, antioxidant agents have been used to attenuate its side effects. To determine tomato-oleoresin protection against cardiac oxidative DNA damage induced by DOX, we distributed Wistar male rats in control (C), lycopene (L), DOX (D) and DOX+lycopene (DL) groups. They received corn oil (C, D) or tomato-oleoresin (5mg/kg body wt. day) (L, DL) by gavage for a 7-week period. They also received saline (C, L) or DOX (4mg/kg body wt.) (D, DL) intraperitoneally at the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and at 6th week. Lycopene absorption was checked by HPLC. Cardiac oxidative DNA damage was evaluated by the alkaline Comet assay using formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (FPG) and endonuclease III (endo III). Cardiomyocyte levels of SBs, SBs FPG and SBs Endo III were higher in rats from D when compared to other groups. DNA damage levels in cardiomyocytes from DL were not different when compared to C and L groups. The viability of cardiomyocytes from D or DL was lower than C or L groups (p<0.01). Lycopene levels (mean+/-S.D.nmol/kg) in saponified hearts were similar between L (47.43+/-11.78) and DL (49.85+/-16.24) groups. Our results showed: (1) lycopene absorption was confirmed by its cardiac levels; (2) DOX-induced oxidative DNA damage in cardiomyocyte; (3) tomato-oleoresin supplementation protected against cardiomyocyte oxidative DNA damage.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is an excellent chemotherapeutic agent utilized for several types of cancer but the irreversible doxorubicin-induced cardiac damage is the major limitation for its use. Oxidative stress seems to be associated with some phase of the toxicity mechanism process. To determine if lycopene protects against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, male Wistar rats were randomly assigned either to control, lycopene, doxorubicin or doxorubicin + lycopene groups. They received corn oil (control, doxorubicin) or lycopene (5 mg/kg body weight a day) (lycopene, doxorubicin + lycopene) by gavage for a 7-week period. They also received saline (control, lycopene) or doxorubicin (4 mg/kg) (doxorubicin, doxorubin + lycopene) intraperitoneally by week 3, 4, 5 and 6. Animals underwent echocardiogram and were killed for tissue analyses by week 7. Mean lycopene levels (nmol/kg) in liver were higher in the doxorubicin + lycopene group (5822.59) than in the lycopene group (2496.73), but no differences in lycopene were found in heart or plasma of these two groups. Lycopene did not prevent left ventricular systolic dysfunction induced by doxorubicin. However, morphologic examination revealed that doxorubicin-induced myocyte damage was significantly suppressed in rats treated with lycopene. Doxorubicin treatment was followed by increase of myocardium interstitial collagen volume fraction. Our results show that: (i) doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity was confirmed by echocardiogram and morphological evaluations; (ii) lycopene absorption was confirmed by its levels in heart, liver and plasma; (iii) lycopene supplementation provided myocyte protection without preventing interstitial collagen accumulation increase; (iv) doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction was not prevented by lycopene supplementation; and (v) lycopene depletion was not observed in plasma and tissues from animals treated with doxorubicin.
