Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1200. [PMID: 37371930 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12061200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Both acute exercise and regular physical activity (PA) are directly related to the redox system. However, at present, there are data suggesting both positive and negative relationships between the PA and oxidation. In addition, there is a limited number of publications differentiating the relationships between PA and numerous markers of plasma and platelets targets for the oxidative stress. In this study, in a population of 300 participants from central Poland (covering the age range between 60 and 65 years), PA was assessed as regards energy expenditure (PA-EE) and health-related behaviors (PA-HRB). Total antioxidant potential (TAS), total oxidative stress (TOS) and several other markers of an oxidative stress, monitored in platelet and plasma lipids and proteins, were then determined. The association of PA with oxidative stress was determined taking into the account basic confounders, such as age, sex and the set of the relevant cardiometabolic factors. In simple correlations, platelet lipid peroxides, free thiol and amino groups of platelet proteins, as well as the generation of superoxide anion radical, were inversely related with PA-EE. In multivariate analyses, apart from other cardiometabolic factors, a significant positive impact of PA-HRB was revealed for TOS (inverse relationship), while in the case of PA-EE, the effect was found to be positive (inverse association) for lipid peroxides and superoxide anion but negative (lower concentration) for free thiol and free amino groups in platelets proteins. Therefore, the impact of PA may be different on oxidative stress markers in platelets as compared to plasma proteins and also dissimilar on platelet lipids and proteins. These associations are more visible for platelets than plasma markers. For lipid oxidation, PA seems to have protective effect. In the case of platelets proteins, PA tends to act as pro-oxidative factor.

Influences of calorie restriction and lipopolysaccharide therapy on inflammation, cytokine response, and cell proliferation in pancreatic adenocarcinoma mouse model. J Biochem Mol Toxicol 2023; 37:e23250. [PMID: 36281497 DOI: 10.1002/jbt.23250] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) alone and in combination with calorie restriction (CR) on the pancreatic tissues in C57BL/6 mice modeled with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Forty male C57BL/6 mice (10-13 weeks old) were divided into five groups; LPS, LPS + CR, PDAC, PDAC + LPS, and PDAC + LPS + CR. Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κβ), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) mRNA expression levels were measured in pancreatic tissues. NF-κβ, IL-6, JNK, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) peptide levels were determined by immunohistochemistry. Oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzyme activities were determined spectrophotometrically. TH1/TH2 cytokine measurements were determined by a flow cytometer. It was detected that the number of PCNA immune + cells in the PDAC + LPS + CR group was significantly lower than in the PDAC and PDAC + LPS groups (p < 0.01, p < 0.05 respectively). PDAC + LPS + CR group's plasma interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), IL-6, IL-2, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, IL-3, and IL-4 levels were found to be significantly lower than the PDAC group (p < 0.01, p < 0.001, p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.05 respectively). According to our findings, the combination of low-dose LPS and 40% CR was found to be more effective in PDAC model mice.

Abstract
Excess nutrient flux into the cellular energy system results in a scenario of cellular metabolic stress in diseases involving insulin resistance, such as type 2 diabetes, referred to as nutri-stress and results in cellular bioenergetic imbalance, which leads to insulin resistance and disease. Under nutri-stress, the heat shock response system is compromised due to metabolic abnormalities that disturb energy homeostasis. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are the chief protectors of intracellular homeostasis during stress. Heat shock response (HSR) impairment contributes to several metabolic pathways that aggravate chronic hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance, highlighting a central role in disease pathogenesis. This article discusses the role of nutri-stress-related molecular events in causing insulin resistance and the nature of the roles played by heat shock proteins in some of the crucial checkpoints of the molecular networks involved in insulin resistance. Ample evidence suggests that the heat shock machinery regulates critical pathways in mitochondrial function and energy metabolism and that cellular energy status highly influences it. Weakening of HSPs, therefore, leads to loss of their vital cytoprotective functions, propagating nutri-stress in the system. Further research into the mechanistic roles of HSPs in metabolic homeostasis will help widen our understanding of lifestyle diseases, their onset, and complications. These inducible proteins may be crucial to attenuating lifestyle risk factors and disease management.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a prevalent vascular disease with high mortality rates upon rupture. Despite its prevalence in elderly populations, there remain limited treatment options; invasive surgical repair, while risky, is the only therapeutic intervention with proven clinical benefits. Dietary factors have long been suggested to be closely associated with AAA risks, and dietary therapies recently emerged as promising avenues to achieve non-invasive management of a wide spectrum of diseases. However, the role of dietary therapies in AAA remains elusive. In this article, we will summarize the recent clinical and pre-clinical efforts in understanding the therapeutic and mechanistic implications of various dietary patterns and therapeutic approaches in AAA.

Abstract
SCOPE This study aimed to investigate the metabolic phenotype and mechanism of 40% calorie restriction (CR) in mice. METHODS AND RESULTS CR mice exhibited super-stable blood glucose, as evidenced by increased fasting blood glucose (FBG), decreased postprandial blood glucose, and reduced glucose fluctuations. Additionally, both fasting plasma insulin and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance increased significantly in CR mice. Compared with control, the phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrates-1 and serine/threonine kinase decreased in liver and fat but increased in muscle of CR mice after insulin administration, indicating hepatic and adipose insulin resistance, and muscle insulin sensitization. CR reduced visceral fat much more than subcutaneous fat. The elevated FBG was negatively correlated with low-level fasting β-hydroxybutyrate, which may result from insufficient free fatty acids and diminished ketogenic ability in CR mice. Furthermore, liver glycogen increased dramatically in CR mice. Analysis of glycogen metabolism related proteins indicated active glycogen synthesis and decomposition. Additionally, CR elevated plasma corticosterone and hypothalamic orexigenic gene expression. CONCLUSION CR induced lipid insufficiency and stress, resulting in global physiological insulin resistance except muscle and enhanced glycogen metabolism, culminating in the stability of blood glucose manifested in increased FBG, which compensated for insufficient blood ketones.

Abstract
Small compounds are a large group of chemicals characterized by various biological properties. Some of them also have antiaging potential, which is mainly attributed to their antioxidant activity. In this study, we examined the antiaging effect of 4-N-Furfurylcytosine (FC), a cytosine derivative belonging to a group of small compounds, on budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We chose this yeast model as it is known to contain multiple conserved genes and mechanisms identical to that of humans and has been proven to be successful in aging research. The chronological lifespan assay performed in the study revealed that FC improved the viability of yeast cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, enhanced mitochondrial activity, together with reduced intracellular ROS level, was observed in FC-treated yeast cells. The gene expression analysis confirmed that FC treatment resulted in the restriction of the TORC1 signaling pathway. These results indicate that FC has antiaging properties.

Abstract
Intermittent fasting (IF) is becoming a prevailing topic worldwide, as it can cause changes in the body’s energy metabolism processes, improve health, and affect the progression of many diseases, particularly in the circumstance of oncology. Recent research has shown that IF can alter the energy metabolism of tumor cells, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and improving antitumor immune responses. Furthermore, IF can increase cancer sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and reduce the side effects of these traditional anticancer treatments. IF is therefore emerging as a promising approach to clinical cancer treatment. However, the balance between long-term benefits of IF compared with the harm from insufficient caloric intake is not well understood. In this article, we review the role of IF in tumorigenesis and tumor therapy, and discuss some scientific problems that remain to be clarified, which might provide some assistance in the application of IF in clinical tumor therapy.

Abstract
Our objective was to investigate the effect of methionine restriction and resuming supply on liver antioxidant response in lambs. The concentrations of methionine and its metabolites and the expression of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a redox sensitive factor, were detected after methionine restriction treatment for 50 days and methionine supply recovery for 29 days. The expression of glutathione (GSH) S-transferase (GST), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were characterized at the level of transcription and translation. Methionine restriction can directly change the content of methionine and its metabolites in plasma and liver, and affect the redox state of lambs by activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway. Liver tissue can adapt to oxidative environment by upregulating the expression of antioxidant enzymes such as GSH-Px and SOD. Moreover, it was found that there was a lag effect in the recovery of metabolism after methionine supplementation.
