Accumulation of TBA-reactive substances after a 40 min incubation of rat brain synaptosomes at 37 degrees C was analysed. A lowering of pH to 6.5-5.5 or arachidonic acid (0.1-1.0 mM) increased lipid peroxidation which was blocked by antioxidants. Acidosis (pH 6.0) and arachidonic acid used in combination had a strong synergic effect. Depolarisation of plasma membranes or intrasynaptosomal mitochondria were without influence on lipid peroxidation at neutral or acid pH. The results support a leading role of acidosis and phospholipases in stimulation of peroxidation under ischaemia.

Purpose Of Review: To date, there is relatively limited research investigating changes in red blood cells (RBCs), particularly qualitative changes, in cancer patients and cancer patients receiving treatment. These changes may be important in better understanding cancer-associated anemia, which is the most prevalent hematological disorder in cancer patients with wide-ranging implications on patient care and quality of life. This review aims to summarize available evidence regarding qualitative and quantitative changes in RBCs in individuals with cancer prior to treatment and in patients undergoing treatment.

Cancer remains one of the most formidable challenges in the medical field in this century, largely due to its poorly understood pathogenesis. Fortunately, recent advancements in the understanding of cancer pathogenesis have helped identify more therapeutic targets for improved treatment outcomes. The WNT signaling pathways are highly conserved cascades that participate in diverse physiological processes, such as embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and tissue regeneration.

Background: Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Nevertheless, whether redox perturbations are associated with cognition and AD pathology in the preclinical AD stages, remains unclear. We examined associations of blood redox markers with AD biomarkers and cognitive performance in older adults without clinical dementia.

The development of efficient therapeutic strategies to promote ferroptotic cell death offers significant potential for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. Herein, this study presents an HCC-targeted nanoplatform that integrates bimetallic FeMoO nanoparticles with CO-releasing molecules, and further camouflaged with SP94 peptide-modified macrophage membrane for enhanced ferroptosis-driven multi-modal therapy of HCC. Leveraging the multi-enzyme activities of the multivalent metallic elements, the nanoplatform not only decomposes HO to generate oxygen and alleviate tumor hypoxia but also depletes glutathione to inactivate glutathione peroxides 4, which amplify sonodynamic therapy and ferroptotic tumor death under ultrasound (US) irradiation.

OS may be important in prodromal stage, such as vascular mild cognitive impairment (vMCI), and examining OS markers in vMCI may help better understand biological processes in the onset of cognitive impairment. Our study compared OS levels in vMCI vs controls, and explored whether OS markers predicted the response to antioxidant treatments in vMCI.
