This study is to observe the effects of sequoyitol on the expression of NADPH oxidase subunits p22 phox and p47 phox in rats with type 2 diabetic liver diseases. The model of high fat and high sugar diet as well as intraperitoneal injection of small dose of streptozotocin (STZ, 35 mg x kg(-1)) induced diabetic rat liver disease was used. After sequoyitol (50, 25 and 12.5 mg x kg(-1)) was administrated for 6 weeks, the contents of blood glucose (BG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), NO and insulin (Ins) were measured, liver p22 phox and p47 phox mRNA content was determined with real-time PCR and the expression of p22 phox and p47 phox protein was examined by Western blotting. In addition, pathological changes in liver were observed with HE staining. Sequoyitol could reduce the content of fasting blood glucose, ALT, AST, Ins and H2O2, restore insulin sensitive index (ISI) and weight, elevate liver tissue T-AOC and NO content, reduce the NADPH oxidase subunit liver tissue p22 phox and p47 phox mRNA and protein expression, as well as ameliorate liver pathologic lesions. The results showed that sequoyitol can ease the type 2 diabetic rat liver oxidative stress by lowering NADPH oxidase expression.

LRRC8A drives NADPH oxidase-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation in allergic rhinitis.

Objectives: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a complex disorder with variable pathogenesis. Increasing evidence suggests that the LRRC8A is involved in maintaining cellular stability, regulating immune cell activation and function, and playing significant roles in inflammation. However, the involvement of LRRC8A in AR inflammation and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Article Synopsis
  • In Parkinson's disease (PD), microglia play a key role in maintaining cell health, and cycloastragenol (CAG) has potential neuroprotective effects by reducing inflammation.
  • This study aimed to investigate CAG's impact on microglial inflammasome activation and its mechanisms in PD treatment using mouse models and various laboratory techniques.
  • Results showed that CAG decreased neuroinflammation by promoting autophagy and reducing harmful reactive oxygen species, thus improving neuron health and behavior in PD mice, highlighting its therapeutic promise.

Oxidative stress from placental ischemia/reperfusion and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) in preeclampsia is accompanied by Na-K pump inhibition and S-glutathionylation of its β1 subunit (GSS-β1), a modification that inhibits the pump. β3-adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) agonists can reverse GSS-β1. We examined the effects of the agonist CL316,243 on GSS-β1 and sources of H/R-induced oxidative stress in immortalized first-trimester human trophoblast (HTR-8/SVneo) and freshly isolated placental explants from normal-term pregnancies.

Background: This study evaluated the effects of concurrent isolated training (T) or training combined with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on cardiac remodeling and oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).

Methods: Six-month-old male SHR were divided into sedentary (S, n = 12), concurrent training (T, n = 13), sedentary supplemented with NAC (SNAC, n = 13), and concurrent training with NAC supplementation (TNAC, n = 14) groups. T and TNAC rats were trained three times a week on a treadmill and ladder; NAC supplemented groups received 120 mg/kg/day NAC in rat chow for eight weeks.
