After a 13-day space mission, in the rats flown on Cosmos-1887 biosatellite the parameters of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense system--the contents of diene conjugates, malonic dialdehyde, Schiff bases, tocopherol, total antioxidant activity (in blood plasma only), antioxidant enzyme activity (in tissues only)--superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathio peroxidase, glutathio reductase have been measured in the blood plasma, myocardium, skeletal muscles and liver. The liver level of diene conjugates, Schiff bases and tocopherol decreased, and an activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase increased. In the skeletal muscles there was an elevation of diene conjugate contents followed by the decreases in malonic dialdehyde and superoxide dismutase activity. In rat myocardium, superoxide dismutase activity and tocopherol levels increased significantly. In the blood plasma the levels of tocopherol, malonic dialdehyde and total antioxidant activity were elevated. It is concluded that the observed changes in lipid peroxidation developed probably in response to an effect of the last dynamic stage of space flight and during re-adapting to the Earth environments.

Biological remediation of agricultural soils contaminated with oil is complicated by the presence of residual amounts of chemical plant protection products, in particular, herbicides, which, like oil, negatively affect the soil microbiome and plants. In this work, we studied five strains of bacteria of the genera and , which exhibited a high degree of oil biodegradation (72-96%). All strains showed resistance to herbicides based on 2,4-D, imazethapyr and tribenuron-methyl, the ability to fix nitrogen, phosphate mobilization, and production of indole-3-acetic acid.

Polyethylene and polystyrene are massively used around the world in various applications and are the most abundant plastic waste. Once in the marine environment, under the influence of physical and chemical factors, plastic products degrade, changing from the size category of macroplastics to microplastics. In order to study the effect of plastic on marine organisms, we modeled the conditions of environmental pollution with different-sized plastic-polystyrene microparticles of 0.

Unlabelled: The wide range of chemical structures of antioxidants provides opportunities for individual selection of the most suitable compounds, taking into account the unique needs and characteristics of the body. Synthetic antioxidants can be specially designed with certain characteristics, which helps to create more effective and stable compounds. The aim of this work was to conduct a series of studies to identify the antioxidant activity of newly synthesized compounds of a number of oxalic acid diamides based on 3,4-dimethoxyphenylcyclopentylamine N1 ((1-3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methyl)-N2-(2-methoxyphenyl)oxalamide on the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the brain and liver tissues of white rats (in vivo, in vitro), as well as to determine their potential pharmacological properties that correspond to Lipinsky's "Rule of Five" (in silico).

The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-ferroptotic effect of resveratrol (RSV) on retinal Müller cells (RMCs) in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy (DR) via the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4)/prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2). The retina was obtained from normal and diabetic Sprague-Dawley rats or wild-type and Nrf2 knockout (KO) diabetic mice, with or without RSV (10 mg/kg/d) treatment for 12 weeks. RMCs transfected with or without SiNrf2 were cultured with high glucose and RSV (20 mM).
