Evaluation of changes in carbonyl stress markers with treatment in male patients with bipolar disorder manic episode: A controlled study.

Background: Carbonyl stress, a metabolic state characterized by elevated production of reactive carbonyl compounds (RCCs), is closely related to oxidative stress and has been implicated in various diseases. This study aims to investigate carbonyl stress parameters in drug-free bipolar disorder (BD) patients compared to healthy controls, explore their relationship with clinical features, and assess the effect of treatment on these parameters.

Methods: Patients with a primary diagnosis of a manic episode of BD and healthy controls were recruited.

A new eudesmanolide from L. and biological activities of extracts.

The ethyl acetate and methanol extracts from aerial parts of yielded a new derivative of 1-acetyl-erivanin, namely 1-acetyl-3--erivanin (17), some known compounds, namely seventeen sesquiterpene lactones, five flavonoids, four coumarins, and a steroid. All extracts displayed antibacterial activity against test microorganisms except for . The methanol (TBM) extract with an IC value of 0.

Measurement of Advanced Glycation End Products Could Be Used as an Indicator of Unhealthy Nutrition for Colorectal Cancer Risk.

The main culprit behind most cancers is the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO) are reactive intermediates created by food processing and they are precursors of advanced glycation end products (AGE) that cause glycative stress. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between AGE levels of healthy volunteers and treatment-naive patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
