Experiments were undertaken on rats and dogs to study the range of endogenous lipid peroxidation (measured by formation of malondialdehyde in heart tissue) and to analyse the effects of hyperoxic, hypoxic and ischaemic influences. The acute hyperoxia caused a moderate increase in lipid peroxidation. The malondialdehyde formation was perceptibly higher in hypoxia, while the highest values were found in ischaemic hearts. It can be concluded that the cytotoxic oxygen metabolites cause unfavourable influences on heart structure and function, for this reason an antioxidant therapy is to be recommended.

Department of Medical Biochemistry, Faculty of Medicine, Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah 21955, Saudi Arabia.

Aim: Breast cancer (BC), a disease in which abnormal breast cells grow out of control and form tumors, is a prevalent life-threatening disease worldwide. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development and progression of various cancers, including BC. Assessing lipid peroxidation and overall antioxidant status in BC offers valuable information on disease progression, patient prognosis, and the effectiveness of therapeutic options.

Effective therapies for cognitive impairments induced by brain irradiation are currently lacking. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for radiation-induced brain injury in a randomized controlled experimental model using adult male Wistar rats. Adult male Wistar rats were divided into four experimental groups: 0 Gy whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) with normal baric air (NBA) treatment, 0 Gy WBRT with HBOT, 10 Gy WBRT with NBA, and 10 Gy WBRT with HBOT.
