The influence of chronic alcohol consumption and catalase inhibitor aminotriazole administration on the level of nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation has been studied in the rat myocardium. It was demonstrated that combined as well as separate treatment with ethanol or aminotriazole elevated the levels of chemiluminescence and enhanced the rate of accumulation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive products in the nuclei-free and total particulate fraction of the rat heart homogenate. The most pronounced effect was noted during combined application of ethanol and aminotriazole. The induction of chemiluminescence by ethanol was prevented by addition of natural (vitamin E, reduced glutathione) or artificial (dibunol) antioxidants into the incubation media. A putative role of the myocardial catalase-containing micro-peroxisomes in stimulation of the intracellular lipid peroxidation is discussed.

Background: Hederagenin (HG), derived from ivy seeds, is known to offer protection against Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the specific molecular pathways through which it counters ferroptosis-induced neurotoxicity are not fully elucidated. This investigation seeks to delineate the processes by which HG mitigates neurotoxic effects in HT22 cells subjected to glutamate (Glu)-induced ferroptosis.

Background: Magnolia kobus DC (MO), as a plant medicine, has been reported to have various physiological activities, including neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic effects. However, vascular protective effects of MO remain incompletely understood. In this study, we evaluated the vascular protective effect of MO against ferroptosis in a carotid artery ligation (CAL)-induced neointimal hyperplasia mouse model and in aortic thoracic smooth muscle A7r5 cells.

Chronic/heavy exposure with ethanol is associated with risk of type 2 diabetes, due to β-cells dysfunction. It has been reported that ethanol can induce oxidative stress directly or indirectly by involvement of mitochondria. We aimed to explore the protective effects of the crocin/gallic acid/L-alliin as natural antioxidants separately on ethanol-induced mitochondrial damage.

Erastin, as an effective ferroptosis inducer, has received extensive attention in anti-tumor research. To develop an oral nanocarrier for high efficient loading hydrophobic erastin, here we prepared a fluoro-liposome (FA-3 F-LS) by the self-assembly of the folic acid modified fluorinated amphiphiles-FA-3 F conjugates. The hydrophobic component of three perfluorooctyl chains endows the FA-3 F-LSs with high stability to resist the harsh gastrointestinal tract condition.

SnRK1 (SNF1-related kinase 1), a member of the SNF1 protein kinase superfamily, has been demonstrated to play a role in plant growth and development, as well as in stress responses. In this experiment, the leaf senescence of 'Xintaimici' cucumber was simulated by dark treatment and studied using SnRK1 activator/inhibitor and transient transformation technology. The effects of SnRK1 on cucumber leaf senescence, reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism, chloroplast structure, and photosynthetic characteristics were studied.
