[PMID: 33087779 PMCID: PMC7578828 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-74911-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2020] [Accepted: 09/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Climate change impact has disturbed the rainfall pattern worsening the problems of water availability in the aquatic ecosystem of India and other parts of the world. Arsenic pollution, mainly through excessive use of groundwater and other anthropogenic activities, is aggravating in many parts of the world, particularly in South Asia. We evaluated the efficacy of selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) and riboflavin (RF) to ameliorate the adverse impacts of elevated temperature and arsenic pollution on growth, anti-oxidative status and immuno-modulation in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. Se-NPs were synthesized using fish gill employing green synthesis method. Four diets i.e., Se-NPs (0 mg kg-1) + RF (0 mg kg-1); Se-NPs (0.5 mg kg-1) + RF (5 mg kg-1); Se-NPs (0.5 mg kg-1) + RF (10 mg kg-1); and Se-NPs (0.5 mg kg-1) + RF (15 mg kg-1) were given in triplicate in a completely randomized block design. The fish were treated in arsenic (1/10th of LC50, 2.68 mg L-1) and high temperature (34 °C). Supplementation of the Se-NPs and RF in the diets significantly (p < 0.01) enhanced growth performance (weight gain, feed efficiency ratio, protein efficiency ratio, and specific growth rate), anti-oxidative status and immunity of the fish. Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT), total immunoglobulin, myeloperoxidase and globulin enhanced (p < 0.01) with supplementation (Se-NPs + RF) whereas, albumin and albumin globulin (A:G) ratio (p < 0.01) reduced. Stress biomarkers such as lipid peroxidation in the liver, gill and kidney, blood glucose, heat shock protein 70 in gill and liver as well as serum cortisol reduced (p < 0.01) with supplementation of Se-NPs and RF, whereas, acetylcholine esterase and vitamin C level in both brain and muscle significantly enhanced (p < 0.01) in compared to control and stressors group (As + T) fed with control diet. The fish were treated with pathogenic bacteria after 90 days of experimental trial to observe cumulative mortality and relative survival for a week. The arsenic concentration in experimental water and bioaccumulation in fish tissues was also determined, which indicated that supplementation of Se-NPs and RF significantly reduced (p < 0.01) bioaccumulation. The study concluded that a combination of Se-NPs and RF has the potential to mitigate the stresses of high temperature and As pollution in P. hypophthalmus.

The Alleviative Effect of Vitamin B 2 on Potassium Bromate-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Male Rats. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:8274261. [PMID: 32802879 PMCID: PMC7415125 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8274261] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2020] [Revised: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 07/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Potassium bromate (PB) is a food enhancer, water disinfection by-product, and a proven carcinogen. It elicits toxicities in the living organism due to exposure and in a dose-dependent manner. The present study discourses the ameliorative efficacy of riboflavin (RF) in PB-administered rodents. The animals were distributed into five treatment groups: control (group I), PB alone (group II, 150 mg/kg), RF alone (group III, 2 mg/kg), PB+RF1 (group IV, 150 mg/kg + 2 mg/kg), and PB+RF2 (group V, 150 mg/kg + 4 mg/kg). After the round of the treatment, the animals were sacrificed to collect their blood and liver samples for the detailed analysis. Group II depicted perturbed liver functions evidenced by altered serum and toxicity markers along with the disturbed redox balance. Also, these biochemical results were found harmonious with histopathological analysis and comet assay. However, group III showed no noticeable alteration in the same parameters, whereas the combination groups (IV and V) exhibited dose-dependent amelioration in the PB-induced toxicities. Interestingly, RF favored apoptosis concomitant with suppressing the necrosis in the PB-challenged groups, as shown by the activity of caspase-3 and lactate dehydrogenase. Histopathological analysis and comet assay further consolidate these results. Hence, RF has significant alleviative property against PB-induced hepatotoxicity in vivo that can be used in the consumer items containing the toxicant.

Abstract
There has lately been a renewed interest in Riboflavin owing to insight into its recognition as an essential component of cellular biochemistry. The knowledge of the mechanisms and regulation of intestinal absorption of riboflavin and its health implications has significantly been expanded in recent years. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the importance of riboflavin, its absorption and metabolism in health and diseased conditions, its deficiency and its association with various health diseases, and metabolic disorders. Efforts have been made to review the available information in literature on the relationship between riboflavin and various clinical abnormalities. The role of riboflavin has also been dealt in the prevention of a wide array of health diseases like migraine, anemia, cancer, hyperglycemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and oxidative stress directly or indirectly. The riboflavin deficiency has profound effect on iron absorption, metabolism of tryptophan, mitochondrial dysfunction, gastrointestinal tract, brain dysfunction, and metabolism of other vitamins as well as is associated with skin disorders. Toxicological and photosensitizing properties of riboflavin make it suitable for biological use, such as virus inactivation, excellent photosensitizer, and promising adjuvant in chemo radiotherapy in cancer treatment. A number of recent studies have indicated and highlighted the cellular processes and biological effects associated with riboflavin supplementation in metabolic diseases. Overall, a deeper understanding of these emerging roles of riboflavin intake is essential to design better therapies for future.

Abstract
Suboptimal vitamin B2 status is encountered globally. Riboflavin deficiency depresses growth and results in a fatty liver. The underlying mechanisms remain to be established and an overview of molecular alterations is lacking. We investigated hepatic proteome changes induced by riboflavin deficiency to explain its effects on growth and hepatic lipid metabolism. In all, 360 1-d-old Pekin ducks were divided into three groups of 120 birds each, with twelve replicates and ten birds per replicate. For 21 d, the ducks were fed ad libitum a control diet (CAL), a riboflavin-deficient diet (RD) or were pair-fed with the control diet to the mean daily intake of the RD group (CPF). When comparing RD with CAL and CPF, growth depression, liver enlargement, liver lipid accumulation and enhanced liver SFA (C6 : 0, C12 : 0, C16 : 0, C18 : 0) were observed. In RD, thirty-two proteins were enhanced and thirty-one diminished (>1·5-fold) compared with CAL and CPF. Selected proteins were confirmed by Western blotting. The diminished proteins are mainly involved in fatty acid β-oxidation and the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC), whereas the enhanced proteins are mainly involved in TAG and cholesterol biosynthesis. RD causes liver lipid accumulation and growth depression probably by impairing fatty acid β-oxidation and ETC. These findings contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms of liver lipid metabolic disorders due to RD.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is involved in the development of many chronic diseases. One of the main factors involved in oxidative stress reduction is increased antioxidant potential. Some nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin E and carotenoids are known to act as antioxidants; however, riboflavin is one of the neglected antioxidant nutrients that may have an antioxidant action independently or as a component of the glutathione redox cycle. Herein, studies that have examined the antioxidant properties of riboflavin and its effect on oxidative stress reduction are reviewed. The results of the reviewed studies confirm the antioxidant nature of riboflavin and indicate that this vitamin can protect the body against oxidative stress, especially lipid peroxidation and reperfusion oxidative injury. The mechanisms by which riboflavin protects the body against oxidative stress may be attributed to the glutathione redox cycle and also to other possible mechanisms such as the conversion of reduced riboflavin to the oxidised form.

Abstract
In an effort to develop new methods for preventing side effects of chemotherapy, the authors initiated studies to determine whether Adriamycin (doxorubicin) inhibits the metabolism of riboflavin (vitamin B2). Adriamycin has been shown to form a 1:1 stoichiometric complex with riboflavin, as well as to compete for binding to tissue proteins. Adult rats treated with Adriamycin in clinically relevant doses were compared to control animals in ability to convert riboflavin into flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), the active flavin coenzyme derivative, in heart, skeletal muscle, liver, and kidney. Rats treated with Adriamycin exhibited diminished formation of carbon 14 (14C)FAD in skeletal muscle to nearly 50% that of controls, and in heart to about 70% to 80% of controls. Under these conditions, (14C)FAD formation in liver and kidney was largely unaffected by Adriamycin. In preliminary studies, riboflavin-deficient animals treated with Adriamycin had accelerated mortality rates compared to those of food restricted controls treated with similar doses of Adriamycin. The data as a whole suggest a potential mechanism for Adriamycin-induced cardiac and skeletal myopathy, i.e., inhibition of synthesis of FAD, a flavin coenzyme which is involved in electron transport, lipid metabolism, and energy generation. These findings in an animal model raise the possibility that defects of riboflavin nutriture, either dietary or drug-induced, may be a determinant of Adriamycin toxicity. Further studies are required to explore the potential for preventing side effects due to Adriamycin by administration of this vitamin.

Abstract
The effects of riboflavin deficiency on hepatic peroxisomal and mitochondrial palmitoyl-CoA oxidation were examined in weanling Wistar-strain male rats. The specific activities of peroxisomal catalase and palmitoyl-CoA-dependent NAD+ reduction were not affected by up to 10 weeks of riboflavin deficiency. In contrast, the specific activity of mitochondrial carnitine-dependent palmitoyl-CoA oxidation was depressed by 75% at 10 weeks of deficiency. The amount of peroxisomal protein per g of liver was not affected by riboflavin deficiency, whereas, expressed per liver, both riboflavin-deficient and pair-fed controls showed decreased peroxisomal protein compared with controls fed ad libitum. Hepatic mitochondria, but not peroxisomes, were sensitive to riboflavin deficiency.

Abstract
Copper deficiency was produced in developing rodents to study a possible interaction between copper and the selenoenzyme, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). Dietary copper deficiency was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats and in three mouse strains (C57BL, C3H/HeJ, C58); genetic copper deficiency was studied in two of the mouse strains, C57BL and C3H/HeJ, using brindled mice. In certain cases it appeared that copper deficiency was associated with depressed liver GSH-Px activity; values from copper-deficient livers were 40-70% of control values. However, the decrease in liver GSH-Px in both rats and mice was only observed when body weight was also depressed and did not necessarily correlate with copper deficiency signs, such as lower serum ceruloplasmin or liver cytochrome oxidase activities. In weanling rats, serum GSH-Px activity was normal despite a 60% reduction in liver activity. Mouse liver GSH-Px activity rose fourfold during the first 3 weeks of life to 75% of the adult level. Rat liver GSH-Px also increased during the suckling period. When perinatal copper deficiency, nutritional or genetic, was severe enough to retard growth, liver GSH-Px activity was depressed. Unlike rats, adult murine liver GSH-Px was equivalent in males and females.
