High performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-EC) was used to measure 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a marker for oxidative DNA damage, in mammary gland isolated from tumor-bearing and tumor-free rats fed diets of varied fatty acid composition and vitamin E and selenium content. A method for tissue preparation and analysis is reported and a significant positive correlation shown between degree of unsaturation of dietary fatty acids and 8-OHdG concentration, regardless of antioxidant status. The increase in 8-OHdG concentration with greater fatty acid unsaturation was more pronounced in the absence of adequate dietary vitamin E and selenium. The implications of these data for defining the role of dietary lipid in the process of mammary carcinogenesis are discussed.

Background: Acute systemic inflammation affects many organs and it occurs in a wide range of conditions such as acute lung injury (ALI). Inflammation-triggered oxidative pathways together with the caspase activation seen in ALI, result in apoptosis. Dapagliflozin (DPG) is an agent that is known to have oxidative stress-reducing and anti-inflammatory effects in many tissues.

Secondary brain damageafter traumatic brain injury (TBI) involves oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and necroptosis and can be reversed by understanding these molecular pathways. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of tasimelteon (Tasi) administration on brain injury through the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF-2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1)/receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3)/mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) pathways in rats with TBI. Thirty-two male Wistar albino rats weighing 300-350 g were randomly divided into four groups: the control group, trauma group, Tasi-1 group (trauma + 1 mg/kg Tasi intraperitoneally), and Tasi-10 group (trauma + 10 mg/kg Tasi intraperitoneally).

Cypermethrin is a pyrethroid showing nephrotoxicity by generating ROS-impaired oxidative stress and changes in inflammatory and apoptotic markers. The harmful consequences are intended to be mitigated by the imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant possessions of nanocurcumin (NC) with improved bioavailability ameliorate Cyp toxicity in rat kidneys.

The kidneys have a regulatory role in many diseases with their diuresis function and capacity to maintain electrolyte balance. In case of extensive damage, the kidney's filtration capacity is impaired and cannot fulfill its functions. Fluvoxamine (FLV), an antidepressant agent, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Background: The relationship between serum total bilirubin (STB) concentrations and the risk of overactive bladder (OAB) remains uncertain. This study aims to explore the potential connection between STB and OAB.
Method: We utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for the years 2001-2020.
