It was shown that glucose in concentration 12.5-100 mM stimulated of Cu(2+)-mediated free radical peroxidation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) from human blood plasma. On the base investigation of kinetic parameters of LDL peroxidation it was stated that intensification of this process in the conditions of our experiments is caused by formation of free radical intermediates of glucose autoxidation during active oxygen species generation in the presence of metal ions with variable valence. It was found that glucose level normalization in the blood of patients with type 2 diabetes during therapy accompanied by significant decreasing of LDL oxidizing. During therapy with sugar-lowering drug metformin which utilizate methylglyoxal the LDL peroxidation from blood diabetes mellitus in vivo inhibited in more higher degree probably in consequence of decreasing of methylglyoxal-dependent generation of superoxide anion radicals as was shown by us early [Biochemistry (Moscow), 2007, 72: 1081-1090; Biochemistry (Moscow), 20(09, 74: 461-466].

Background: Lymphatic metastasis commonly occurs in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma and medullary thyroid carcinoma. The clinical and imaging characteristics of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) invasion by extranodal extension (ENE) of metastatic lymph nodes remain understudied. This study aimed to evaluate these characteristics in patients with thyroid carcinoma.

Background: One-carbon metabolism links folate and methionine metabolism and this is essential for nucleotide synthesis in the cells. Alterations in one-carbon metabolism are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes and cancer. Our aim was to investigate whether SNPs in antioxidant-enzyme genes impact the concentrations of folate in serum (s-folate), plasma total homocysteine (p-tHcy) and total glutathione in plasma (p-tGSH) in healthy subjects after supplementation with folic acid.

Metabolic and neurological disorders commonly display dysfunctional branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism, though it is poorly understood how this leads to neurological damage. We investigated this by generating Drosophila mutants lacking BCAA-catabolic activity, resulting in elevated BCAA levels and neurological dysfunction, mimicking disease-relevant symptoms. Our findings reveal a reduction in neuronal AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity, which disrupts autophagy in mutant brain tissues, linking BCAA imbalance to brain dysfunction.

Aging is characterized by cellular degeneration and impaired physiological functions, leading to a decline in male sexual desire and reproductive capacity. Oxidative stress (OS) lead to testicular aging by impairing the male reproductive system, but the potential mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, the functional status of testicular tissues from young and aged boars was compared, and the transcriptional responses of Leydig cells (LCs) to hydrogen peroxide (HO)-induced senescence were explored, revealing the role of OS in promoting aging of the male reproductive system.

Daily contact with considerable amounts of polystyrene nanoparticles (PSNPs) may cause harmful effects on the living organisms, through mechanisms that are not fully understood. The study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of PSNPs (size 200 nm and 40 nm) in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In order to estimate cellular uptake and retention of nanoplastics, PSNP-treated cells have been analyzed by transmission electron microscopy.
