Reactive oxygen species and antioxidant status in periodontal diseases and periodontal-related pathologies is an item of growing interest. Immunohistochemical approach may be usefully employed in the study of soft tissues affected by periodontal disease, giving valuable information on tissue morphology and vascular proliferation that depends directly on the inflammatory state. In order to study CoQ(10) and vitamin E content in healthy gingiva and in gingivitis a new adaptation to previously published methods for their determination was adopted. During gingivitis tissue displayed a large inflammatory infiltration in the lamina propria and a VEGF positive squamous epithelium. The inflammatory infiltration consisted mainly of lymphocytes, plasma cells and neutrophils. Vitamin E dramatically decreased and CoQ(10) remained unchanged despite the increased amount of cells present in the periodontally affected tissues, indicating that continuous oxidative stress which occurred in these structure affected the antioxidant pattern of the tissue.

Background: Strongyle nematodes pose a major challenge in veterinary parasitology, causing significant economic losses in livestock due to resistance to conventional treatments. Current anthelmintics, like Ivermectin, often encounter resistance issues. This study aims to address these gaps by synthesizing Carbon Quantum Dots (CQDs) and Copper-Doped CQDs (Cu@CQDs) using glucose extract, and evaluating their nematicidal properties against strongyles in vitro.

Fish face health hazards due to high-temperature (T) stress and the toxicity associated with nickel (Ni), both of which can occur in aquatic ecosystems. The accumulation of nickel in fish may pose risks to human health when contaminated fish are consumed. Consequently, the goal of this study was to clarify how selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) help Pangasianodon hypophthalmus by reducing the effects of nickel and high-temperature stress.

Little is known regarding the effects high-intensity training performed in hypoxia on the oxidative stress and antioxidant systems. The aim of this study was to assess the potential effect of 4 weeks of repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) on the redox balance. Forty male well-trained cyclists were matched into two different interventions (RSH,  = 20) or in normoxia, RSN,  = 20) and tested twice (before (Pre-) and after (Post-) a 4-week of training) for performance (repeated sprint ability (RSA) test), oxidative stress, and antioxidant status.

Amphibians are enjoyable globally for their culinary value and are increasingly considered alternative protein sources. However, the skin of edible amphibians, especially giant salamanders, is often discarded without much thought. However, this underutilized resource holds significant potential for yielding valuable proteins and bioactive peptides (BPs).

Microalgae have garnered a considerable attention as a sustainable substitute as customary feed ingredients for poultry, predominantly due to their extraordinary nutritive profile and purposeful properties. These minuscule organisms are protein rich, retain an ample quantity of essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, thus are capable of improving nutritive value of poultry diets. Microalgae comparatively delivers an outstanding source of protein containing substantial amount of innumerable bioactive complexes, omega-3 fatty acids in addition to the essential amino acids (methionine and lysine), crucial for optimal growth and development.
