Aims: Irradiation decreases incisional healing and produces oxygen radicals that damage cells. Because of the lipid component in the membrane, lipid peroxidation is reported to be particularly susceptible to radiation damage. Glutathione acts as a cosubstrate in the enzymatic repair of radiation damage. The aim of this study is to examine the role of granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in incisional skin wounds by investigating lipid peroxidation and reduced glutathione levels in the irradiated rats.
Methods: Rats were irradiated with cobalt 60 and a dorsal skin incision was made 2 days after irradiation. Rats were divided into four groups: group 1: control; group 2: GM-CSF administered; group 3: irradiated control group; group 4: irradiated and GM-CSF administered group.
Results: By irradiation, a marked lipid peroxidation increase was demonstrated. Two days after irradiation, in animals given total body irradiation (TBI), application of a single topical dose of GM-CSF decreased lipid peroxidation of the tissue decreased significantly. By drug administration, the GSH content of the skin increased both in the irradiated and non-irradiated groups.
Conclusions: Our results suggest that GM-CSF modulate lipid peroxidation and GSH of the skin wound.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most serious and common complications in the course of sepsis, known for its poor prognosis and high mortality rate. Recently, ferroptosis, as a newly discovered regulatory cell death, might be closely associated with the progression of AKI. METTL14 is a writer of RNA m6A, an abundant epigenetic modification in transcriptome with broad function.

The presence of a substantial necrotic core in atherosclerotic plaques markedly heightens the risk of rupture, a consequence of elevated iron levels that exacerbate oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, thereby sustaining a detrimental cycle of ferroptosis and inflammation. Concurrently targeting both ferroptosis and inflammation is crucial for the effective treatment of vulnerable plaques. In this study, we introduce gallium hexacyanoferrate nanoabsorption catalysts (GaHCF NACs) designed to disrupt this pathological cycle.

Targeting ferroptosis, cell death caused by the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides, and disruption of the redox balance are promising strategies in cancer therapy owing to the physiological characteristics of cancer cells. However, the detection of ferroptosis using imaging remains challenging. We previously reported that redox maps showing the reduction power per unit time of implanted tumor tissues via non-invasive redox imaging using a novel, compact, and portable electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) device could be compared with tumor tissue sections.

Objective: The study focused the contraceptive efficacy of hydro-ethanolic (60:40) extract (HEE) of Caesalpinia pulcherrima leaves in human and rat sperm samples by in vitro study.
Methods: Six young fertile adult males were selected for semen collection. Sperm samples were collected from six adult rat also by chopping the epididymis along with the collection of testicles, epididymis, and liver.
Naringenin induces ferroptosis in osteosarcoma cells through the STAT3-MGST2 signaling pathway.

Osteosarcoma is a common malignant tumor found in adolescents, characterized by a high metastatic potential and poor prognosis, but it is sensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Ferroptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death induced by excessive iron accumulation, leading to lipid peroxidation that results in cellular dysfunction and death. Naringenin is a flavonoid known for its anti-cancer properties, yet its role in osteosarcoma has not been thoroughly studied.
