Non-invasive monitoring of oxidative stress is highly desirable. Urinary 7,8-8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) is a biologically relevant and convenient analytical target. However, immunoassays can over-estimate levels of urinary 8-oxodG. Measurement of more than one DNA oxidation product in urine would be advantageous in terms of mechanistic information. Urines samples were analysed for 8-oxodG by solid-phase extraction/LC-MS/MS and ELISA. The solid-phase extraction/LC-MS/MS assay was also applied to the analysis of urinary 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-2'-deoxyadenosine (8-oxodA). Concurring with previous reports, urinary 8-oxodG measured by ELISA was significantly higher than levels measured by LC-MS/MS. However, apparent improvement in the specificity of the commercially available Japanese Institute for the Control of Ageing (JaICA) ELISA brought mean LC-MS/MS and ELISA measurements of urinary 8-oxodG into agreement. Urinary 8-oxodA was undetectable in all urines, despite efficient recovery by solid phase extraction. Exploitation of the advantages of ELISA may be enhanced by a simple modification to the assay procedure, although chromatographic techniques still remain the 'gold standard' techniques for analysis of urinary 8-oxodG. Urinary 8-oxodA is either not present or below the limit of detection of the instrumentation.

Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis hyperactivity measured by the combined dexamethasone-CRH test (DEX-CRH test) has been found in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), whereas hypoactivity has been found in patients with work-related stress. We aimed to investigate the DEX-CRH test as a biomarker to distinguish between MDD and work-related stress (exhaustion disorder - ED). We hypothesized that there would be lower cortisol and ACTH response in participants with ED compared to MDD and healthy controls (HC).

Article Synopsis
- Individuals with psychiatric illnesses have higher levels of oxidative stress markers, which may increase their risk for age-related diseases and mortality.
- The study examined a large cohort over several years, measuring oxidative damage in DNA and RNA to explore their link with all-cause mortality.
- Results showed that those with a history of psychiatric illness exhibited significantly higher oxidative stress markers, suggesting a potential biological connection to increased mortality risk.

Unlabelled: Cigarette smoke is a rich source of free radicals that can promote oxidative stress and carcinogenesis, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) development; importantly, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (8-isoprostane) are biomarkers of oxidative stress. Several mechanisms, including the antioxidant properties of black raspberry (BRB), account for their chemopreventive effects. In the present clinical trial, we tested the hypothesis that BRB administration reduces biomarkers levels of oxidative stress in buccal cells and urine of smokers.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between hypothyroidism and oxidative stress, focusing on biomarkers 8-oxoGuo and 8-oxodG, which indicate RNA and DNA oxidation, respectively.
- 45 Danish women with newly diagnosed hypothyroidism were compared before and after treatment with levothyroxine, along with healthy control subjects to assess changes in these biomarkers.
- Results showed no significant changes in oxidative stress markers after initiating treatment in patients, although hypothyroid women had higher levels of 8-oxoGuo and 8-oxodG compared to the control group.

Animal studies have shown that SGLT2 inhibition decreases oxidative stress, which may explain the cardiovascular protective effects observed following SGLT2 inhibition treatment. Thus, we investigated the effects of two and twelve weeks SGLT2 inhibition on DNA and RNA oxidation. Individuals with type 2 diabetes ( = 31) were randomized to two weeks of treatment with the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin treatment (25 mg once daily) or placebo.
