Background: Oxidative stress has been implicated in various skin diseases through the generation of reactive oxygen species and the depletion of endogenous antioxidant systems. The administration of antioxidants is reportedly helpful, notably to enhance the healing process. To protect the skin against oxidative damages, we have studied the effect of new oil: "date seed oil" (DSO). This oil, may serve as a potential source of natural antioxidants such as phenols and tocopherols.
Methods: Here, we report the protective effect of DSO against hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2))-induced oxidative stress in terms of lipid peroxidation, depletion of endogenous antioxidant defense enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) using normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK).
Results: In the investigated model system, DSO has significant chemoprotective effect, by inhibition of damage caused by H(2)O(2) compared with cells without such addition endowing with a radical scavenging ability. Treatment of NHEK with DSO inhibited H(2)O(2)-induced lipid peroxidation. In addition, this oil inhibited H(2)O(2)-induced depletion of antioxidant defense components, such as SOD, CAT and GPx.
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that DSO is an efficient extract that is able to prevent keratinocytes oxidative damage induced by H(2)O(2) exposure and may thus be a potential promising candidate, as a chemopreventive agent, in the development of keratinocytes-related pathologies.

Background: Carotid atherosclerotic plaque is the primary cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is closely related to oxidative stress and immune inflammation. This bioinformatic study was conducted to identify key oxidative stress-related genes and key immune cell infiltration involved in the formation, progression, and stabilization of plaques and investigate the relationship between them.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a disease characterized by an acute inflammatory response in the pancreas. This is caused by the abnormal activation of pancreatic enzymes by a variety of etiologic factors, which results in a localized inflammatory response. The symptoms of this disease include abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting and fever.

Cotton is essential for the global textile industry however, climate change, especially extreme temperatures, threatens sustainable cotton production. This research aims to identify breeding strategies to improve heat tolerance and utilize stress-resistant traits in cotton cultivars. This study investigated heat tolerance for 50 cotton genotypes at the seedling stage by examining various traits at three temperatures (32 °C, 45 °C and 48 °C) in a randomized plot experiment.

Oxidative stress is recognized as a critical contributor to the advancement of neurological diseases, thereby rendering the alleviation of oxidative stress a pivotal strategy in the therapeutic management of such conditions. Sesamol, the principal constituent of sesame oil, has been the subject of extensive research due to its significant antioxidant properties, especially its ability to effectively counteract oxidative stress within the central nervous system and confer neuroprotection. While sesamol demonstrates potential in the treatment and prevention of neurological diseases, its modulation of oxidative stress is complex and not yet fully understood.

The detrimental effects of cadmium (Cd), a hazardous heavy metal, on fish have triggered global concerns. While the ecotoxicity of Cd on fish has been investigated, the impact of Cd on muscle quality and its correlation with the gut microbiota in fish remains scarce. To comprehensively uncover Cd effects based on preliminary muscle Cd deposition, relevant studies, and ecological Cd pollution data, we exposed Labeo rohita to Cd under concentrations of 0.
