Background And Aims: Carbonyl stress is one of the mechanisms responsible for diabetes and its complications. The study was planned to examine the relationship between carbonyl stress markers and the risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: Forty T2DM patients with ACS and forty T2DM patients without ACS participated in this cross-sectional pilot study. Routine biochemical investigations, creatine kinase-total (CK-T), and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) levels were estimated. Serum carbonyl stress markers were analysed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Binary logistics regression was done to determine the predictive value of carbonyl stress markers for ACS.
Results: Fasting plasma glucose, serum total methylglyoxal (MG), methylglyoxal derived hydroimidazolones-1 (MG-H1), and N-carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients with ACS than in those without ACS. Serum glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and glyoxalase-1 (GLO1) levels were significantly lower in T2DM patients with ACS than in those without ACS. Fasting plasma glucose level was significantly positively correlated with serum MG (r = 0.441, P < 0.001), CML (r = 0.649, P < 0.001), MG-H1 (r = 0.725, P < 0.001), and negatively correlated with serum GAPDH (r = - 0.268, P = 0.012) and GLO1 (r = - 0.634, P = 0.016). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that serum GAPDH and GLO1 could predict the risk of ACS in T2DM patients.
Conclusion: These findings revealed that high carbonyl stress due to lower levels of GAPDH and GLO1 may predispose patients with T2DM for more risk of ACS.

Little is known regarding the effects high-intensity training performed in hypoxia on the oxidative stress and antioxidant systems. The aim of this study was to assess the potential effect of 4 weeks of repeated sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) on the redox balance. Forty male well-trained cyclists were matched into two different interventions (RSH, = 20) or in normoxia, RSN, = 20) and tested twice (before (Pre-) and after (Post-) a 4-week of training) for performance (repeated sprint ability (RSA) test), oxidative stress, and antioxidant status.

Background: Testicular torsion is a critical urological emergency that can lead to testicular ischemia and significant tissue damage. Citrulline, a supplement known for enhancing cellular metabolism and mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation, has been explored for its protective effects against testicular injury resulting from torsion and detorsion in rat models.
Methods: This study involved 42 Wistar rats, divided into six groups: Sham, torsion/detorsion (T/D), and four groups receiving varying doses of Citrulline (300, 600, 900 ) and vitamin E (20 ).

Background: The oxidative handicap hypothesis posits that testosterone-dependent traits, such as muscle mass and strength, may be costly to develop due to testosterone's pro-oxidative properties, leading to increased oxidative stress. This hypothesis suggests that only individuals with superior biological conditions can afford these costs. This study examines the oxidative handicap hypothesis, exploring the relationship between muscle mass or handgrip strength and oxidative stress markers in men.
