We have studied the lipid peroxidation product (malondiadehyde-MDA) levels after thiobarbituric acid reaction, spectrophotometrically and by a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection in seminal plasma as well as in the cell fraction. Semen samples were obtained from healthy volunteers and infertile males. Ejaculates were previously classified into studied subgroups according to standard andrological criteria (sperm number, motility, morphology) and defined as: normozoospermia (K), azoospermia (Az), teratozoospermia (T), asthenoteratozoospermia (AT), oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) and idiopathic infertility (NIF). MDA is a good marker for lipid peroxidation. There were found elevated MDA concentrations (determined by HPLC) in seminal plasma of the all analysed pathological semen samples, especially in patients with OAT. The more pronounced differences between healthy controls and NIF patients were observed in intracellular compartment. The lipid peroxidation of rich in unsaturated fatty acids sperm membranes is considered to be one of the most important effects from ROS-induced cell damage what may lead to persistent infertility.

Objective: The usage of doxorubicin (DOX), an antineoplastic drug that is frequently used for the cure of cancer, is restricted to maximal doses due to its cardiac toxicity. Reactive oxygen species produced by DOX result in lipid peroxidation and organ failure, ultimately resulting in cardiomyopathy. Due to its high polyphenol content, virgin rice bran oil (VRBO) is a diet nutritional supplement with a strong antioxidant.

Drought stress inhibits Bunge () seedling growth and yield. Here, we studied the effects of drought stress on the different parts of seedlings through physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomics analyses, and identified key genes and metabolites related to drought tolerance. Physiological analysis showed that drought stress increased the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (HO), enhanced the activity of peroxidase (POD), decreased the activity of catalase (CAT) and the contents of chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll, reduced the degree of photosynthesis, enhanced oxidative damage in seedlings, and inhibited the growth of plants.

Background: polysaccharides (BSP) have antioxidant, immune regulation, and anti-fibrotic activities. However, the therapeutic effect and mechanisms underlying the action of BSP in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) have not been fully understood.
Aim: To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of BSP on MASLD by centering on the hepatocyte nuclear factor kappa B p65 (RelA)/hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha (HNF1α) signaling.

The antioxidant extracts considered a very important food additive which promoting the protection of lipid and prolong the shelf life of food products. The aim of this investigation was decrease the time of extraction of hibiscus leaves extract (HLE) and olive leaves extract (OLE) from 48 h to only 6 h without reducing efficiency of these extracts. HPLC assay, scavenging radical activity by DPPH˙ (IC), inhibition lipid peroxidation by both β-Carotene/Linoleic Acid Bleaching (βCB) and Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARs) assays, antibacterial and antifungal activities measured for different concentrations of ethanolic extracts by conventional extraction (CE) and difference in pressure extraction (DPE) methods, and the results shown a considerable in mean difference ( < 0.
