The aim of this paper was to define the influence of long-term methanol intoxication on the changes of end products of lipid peroxidation, reacting with thiobarbituric acid (TBA-reactive products) and free SH-group concentration in rat brains. The experiment was conducted on male Lewis rats. The experimental groups received a 1-molar methanol solution and the control group received tap water. The animals were killed after 4, 8 and 12 weeks of intoxication and their brains were collected for further examination, which encompassed measurement of the concentration of TBA-reactive products and free SH-groups. The revealed changes of TBA-reactive products and free SH-group concentration were not statistically significant.

Metabolic Syndrome in Reproductive Age Women of Various Ethnic Groups. Neuroendocrine Status and Lipid Peroxidation System.

We analyzed the state of neuroendocrine regulation and LPO-antioxidant defense systems in reproductive age women with metabolic syndrome (MetS), representatives of the Russian and Buryat ethnic groups. Compared to the corresponding control groups, women from the Russian ethnic group with MetS had elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone and free androgen index (FAI) and reduced levels of sex hormone-binding globulin, while women from the Buryat ethnic group had increased levels of prolactin and FAI. Changes in the LPO system in women of the Russian ethnic group with MetS consisted in an increase in the levels of substrates with double bonds, TBA-reactive substances, and fat-soluble vitamins.

Currently, side-streams (e.g., head, backbone, tail, and intestines) generated in the fish processing industry often end up as low-value products for feed applications or even as waste.

Women with the metabolic syndrome had higher values of substrates with unsaturated double bonds and final TBA-reactive substances in comparison with the control group and higher levels of unsaturated double bonds, primary and end products of LPO, and retinol in comparison with the reference group (women with less than 3 signs of metabolic syndrome). No statistically significant differences between the groups were revealed while estimating the coefficient of oxidative stress; however, there was a tendency to an increase in the median value of this parameter in the group with metabolic syndrome.

We studied spontaneous production of a spectrum of proinflammatory cytokines by cultured whole blood cells from men with alcohol dependence at the stage of withdrawal syndrome and oxidative stress markers (carbonylated proteins and TBA-reactive substances) in the plasma of these blood samples. Enhanced production of cytokines by blood cells and increased concentrations of oxidative stress markers in the autologous plasma were revealed in comparison with the corresponding parameters in the control (blood from healthy men). Direct correlations were found between the levels of spontaneous cytokine production by blood cells from subjects with alcohol dependence and the concentration of oxidized proteins and lipids in autologous plasma.

The prospect of using the antioxidant dipeptide carnosine for the treatment of urate nephrolithiasis was evaluated. Urate nephrolithiasis was modeled in rats by intragastric administration of a mixture of oxonic and uric acids. Carnosine was administered intragastrically through a tube in a dose of 15 mg/kg.
