7,8-Dihydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (DHMC) and 7,8-diacetoxy-4-methylcoumarin (DAMC) have been reported to effectively inhibit in-vivo lipid peroxidation in rat tissues induced by CCl4 and paraquat. DHMC was found to readily impart green colour to the lipid peroxidation incubation mixture containing ADP and Fe3+, whereas DAMC formed green complex only upon incubation with liver microsomes, confirming our earlier observation that liver microsomal deacetylase hydrolyses DAMC to DHMC. Sensitive pH metric technique revealed the formation of ADP-Fe-DHMC ternary complex with highest stability, while Fe-DHMC and ADP-DHMC had negligible stabilities concluding that ADP-perferryl ion formation is prevented by DHMC resulting in the production of stable ternary mixed ligand complex (ADP-Fe-DHMC), thereby inhibiting the formation of O2-, and eventually other reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsible for membrane lipid peroxidation.

Tocotrienols, isomers of vitamin E, may provide an effective nutritional strategy to mitigate common cardiovascular risks such as dyslipidemia, inflammation, and oxidative stress in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effects of a tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) supplementation (300 mg/day) on oxidative stress and inflammatory markers, including transcription factors in nondialysis (ND) and hemodialysis (HD) CKD patients for three months. Interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor- (IL-6 and TNF-), C-reactive protein (CRP), lipid peroxidation, biochemical parameters, and transcription factors such as NRF2 and NF-B mRNA expression were evaluated.

Cancer is ranked as the top cause of premature mortality. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced from catalytic peroxidation by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and have become a highly attractive non-invasive cancer screening approach. For future clinical applications, however, the correlation between cancer hallmarks and cancer-specific VOCs requires further study.

Context: Metabolic disorders are a growing global concern, especially in developed countries, due to their increasing prevalence. Serum lipid profiles, including triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), are commonly used clinical biomarkers for monitoring the progression of these metabolic abnormalities. In recent decades, hydrogen-rich water (HRW) has gained attention as a safe and effective treatment, with regulatory effects on lipid peroxidation and inflammatory responses in clinical trials.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains a formidable challenge due to high recurrence rates and limited efficacy of conventional treatments. Immunotherapy holds potential, but its effectiveness is often restricted by low patient responsiveness. This study presents a novel therapeutic strategy using GSH/pH-responsive copper-based cascade nanocomplexes to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) in OSCC.

Dealing with infections is a daily challenge for wild animals. Empirical data show an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production during immune response. This could have consequences on telomere length, the end parts of linear chromosomes, commonly used as proxy for good health and ageing.
