F(2)-isoprostanes are a unique class of prostaglandin-like compounds formed in vivo, which have been established as biomarkers of oxidative stress. Accurate analysis has been challenging due to lack of specificity for the isoforms of isoprostanes and lengthy sample preparation procedures to enable trace quantitative analysis. A quantitative analytical method was developed for the determination of F(2)-isoprostanes in rat and hamster urine by online solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled with liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The online SPE LC-MS/MS procedure has significant advantages over alternative methods with respect to specificity, sensitivity, simplicity, and speed. The assay enables the detection of iPF(2alpha)-III, iPF(2alpha)-IV, and iPF(2alpha)-VI over a linear dynamic range of 0.1-50 ng/mL in rat urine samples. This range covers the basal levels of these F(2)-isoprostanes. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for the standard isoprostanes was about 0.3 ng/mL. The average recoveries ranged from 73 to 115% depending upon the individual F(2)-isoprostane isomers in rat urine. Additionally, the method was used to determine increases of endogenous urine iPF(2alpha)-VI and iPF(2alpha)-III in hamsters challenged with either low-fat or high-fat diets.

Background Dietary antioxidant Capacity (DaC) has been used as a tool for predicting plasma and dietary antioxidant concentrations. However, the DaC association with oxidative stress (OS) and body composition parameters is an unexplored area, mainly in physically active individuals. Given the potential for increased OS in physically active individuals, it becomes crucial to investigate this association.

Background: Oxidative stress is a potential contributor to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression but has not been evaluated in dogs and cats with CKD.
Hypothesis: Oxidative stress is higher in animals with CKD compared with healthy controls and decreases with the advancing CKD stage. The aim of this study was to determine the presence and intensity of oxidative stress in dogs and cats at different CKD stages.

Background: Iodinated contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a common cause of renal failure, especially in patients with risk factors. This study analyses different renal biomarkers in patients undergoing computed tomography scans with iodinated contrast to identify the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of CI-AKI.
Methodology: Prospective study that included patients with high risk of renal disease who received iodinated contrast (iohexol) for the computed tomography scans.
High-Dose Intravenous Vitamin C Combined with Docetaxel in Men with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Phase II Trial.

Article Synopsis
- High-dose intravenous vitamin C (HDIVC) was tested alongside docetaxel in a clinical trial for patients with advanced prostate cancer, showing no significant benefit compared to docetaxel alone.
- The trial involved 47 participants and measured effectiveness through PSA response rates, overall survival, and quality of life, with similar outcomes in both the HDIVC and placebo groups.
- The study was halted early due to no evidence that HDIVC improved cancer treatment results, suggesting it shouldn’t be routinely used for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
