Background: A possible role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis has been suggested. The detoxification enzyme NAD(P)H dehydrogenase, quinone 1 (NQO1) has been found up-regulated in MS lesions. A previous report described an association between the SNP rs1800566 in the NQO1 gene and the risk for MS in the Greek population. The aim of this study was to replicate a possible influence of the. SNP rs1800566 in the NQO1 gene in the risk for MS in the Spanish Caucasian population.
Methods: We analyzed allelic and genotypic frequency of NQO1 rs1800566 in 290 patients with MS and 310 healthy controls, using TaqMan Assays.
Results: NQO1 rs1800566 allelic and genotypic frequencies did not differ significantly between MS patients and controls, and were unrelated with age of onset of MS, gender, and clinical type of MS.
Conclusions: Our results indicate that NQO1 rs1800566 does not have an effect on MS disease risk.

: Following previous findings on high-salt (HS)-intake-related increase of oxidative stress, this study explored whether carnosine (CAR; β-alanyl-L-histidine), a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, enhanced antioxidative defence and vascular function following HS, potentially via the NRF2 or HIF-1α signalling pathway. : Sprague Dawley rats (64, 8-10 weeks old, both sexes) were divided into four groups (n = 6/group): CTRL (0.4% NaCl), HS (4% NaCl for 7 days), CTRL + CAR (0.

Skin, as the first line of defence of the human body, is exposed to dangers such as overheating substances, ultraviolet rays, and environmental pollutants, and the incidence of skin diseases is increasing annually. Oxidative stress plays a dominant role in most skin diseases. Abelmoschus manihot (L.

Cadmium has been identified as an environmental pollutant and a carcinogen. N-methyladenosine (mA) plays a crucial role in the development of lung tumors, but the mechanisms remain incompletely clarified. In present study, our data demonstrated that prolonged treatment of 1 μmol/L CdSO for 40 passages in bronchial epithelial cells (Beas-2B cells) resulted in the development of a malignant phenotype, which manifested as boosted proliferation, migration and invasion capacity as well as apoptosis reduction.

: Oxidative stress in the testicles of male livestock can cause reduced fertility. Melatonin is a natural product with antioxidant effects, but its specific antioxidant mechanism is still unclear. This study used calf testicular Sertoli cells as materials to explore the mechanism by which melatonin alleviates the oxidative stress of Sertoli cells, laying a foundation for improving the fertility of bulls.

Although osteoclasts play crucial roles in the skeletal system, the mechanisms that underlie oxidative stress during osteoclastogenesis remain unclear. The transcription factor Nrf2 and its suppressor, Keap1, function as central mediators of oxidative stress. To further elucidate the function of Nrf2/Keap1-mediated oxidative stress regulation in osteoclastogenesis, DNA microarray analysis was conducted in this study using wild-type (WT), knockout ( KO), and knockout ( KO) osteoclasts.
