Proteins are oxidatively modified by a large number of reactive species including reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes, and reducing sugars. Among divergent oxidative modifications, the introduction of carbonyl groups such as aldehyde, ketone, and lactam into the amino acid side chains of proteins is a major hallmark for oxidative damage to proteins, and is termed "protein carbonylation". Detection and quantification of protein carbonyls are commonly performed to determine the level of oxidative stress in the context of cellular damage, aging, and several age-related disorders. This review focuses on the molecular mechanisms and biological implications of protein carbonylation, and also presents current analytical approaches for determining and characterizing carbonylated proteins.

Beer and its components show potential for reducing hepatic steatosis in rodent models through multiple mechanisms. This study aimed to evaluate beer's anti-steatotic effects in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mouse model of Metabolic dysfunction-Associated Liver Disease (MASLD) and to explore the underlying mechanisms. In the HFD group, steatosis was confirmed by altered blood parameters, weight gain, elevated liver lipid content, and histological changes.

Vitamin D exhibits strong antioxidant properties. However, its effect on oxidative stress after strenuous endurance exercise remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of vitamin D supplementation on strenuous endurance-exercise-induced oxidative stress.

Lipid-lowering drugs such as gemfibrozil (GFB) are widely used and highly biologically active, contributing to their persistence in wastewater and subsequent release into aquatic ecosystems. However, the potential impacts and toxic mechanisms of these emerging pollutants on non-target marine organisms, particularly keystone bivalves like Mytilus edulis, remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we investigated the effects of environmentally relevant concentrations of GFB (25 µg l) on oxidative, nitrosative, and dicarbonyl stress in M.

Biofilm formation is a key adaptive response of marine bacteria towards stress conditions. The protective mechanisms of biofilm matrixome proteins against heavy metals (Pb and Cd) induced oxidative damage in the marine bacterium Bacillus stercoris GST-03 was investigated. Exposure to heavy metals resulted in significant changes in cell morphology, biofilm formation, and matrixome composition.

Exercise stress test-induced hypofibrinolysis and changes in circulating levels of several interleukins have been observed in aortic stenosis (AS). However, it is unknown whether the pattern of exercise-induced changes in oxidative stress differs between AS patients and controls and if the differences are associated with changes in fibrinolysis and inflammation. We studied 32 asymptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe AS and 32 controls of similar age, sex, and body mass index.
