Effects of clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor on endothelial function, inflammatory and oxidative stress parameters and platelet function in patie…
2014
Introduction Particularly in the setting of acute coronary syndromes, the interplay between vascular and platelet function has been postulated to have direct clinical implications. The present trial is designed to test the effect of clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor on multiple parameters of vascular function, platelet aggregation, oxidative and inflammatory stress before and up to 4 weeks after coronary artery stenting. Methods and analysis The study is designed as a three-arm, parallel design, randomised, investigator-blinded study. Patients with unstable angina or non-ST elevation myocardial infarction undergoing coronary intervention with a drug-eluting stent will be randomised to r…
PPARβ activation restores the high glucose-induced impairment of insulin signalling in endothelial cells
2014
Background and Purpose PPARβ enhances insulin sensitivity in adipocytes and skeletal muscle cells, but its effects on insulin signalling in endothelial cells are not known. We analysed the effects of the PPARβ/δ (PPARβ) agonists, GW0742 and L165041, on impaired insulin signalling induced by high glucose in HUVECs and aortic and mesenteric arteries from diabetic rats. Experimental Approach Insulin-stimulated NO production, Akt-Ser 473 and eNOS-Ser 1177 phosphorylation, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were studied in HUVECs incubated in low- or high-glucose medium. Insulin-stimulated relaxations and protein phosphorylation in vessels from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rat…
Co-Loading of Ascorbic Acid and Tocopherol in Eudragit-Nutriosomes to Counteract Intestinal Oxidative Stress
2019
The present study aimed at developing a new vesicular formulation capable of promoting the protective effect of ascorbic acid and tocopherol against intestinal oxidative stress damage, and their efficacy in intestinal wound healing upon oral administration. A pH-dependent copolymer (Eudragit®
Synthesis of Rosmarinic Acid Amides as Antioxidative and Hypoglycemic Agents
2019
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an important metabolic disorder for which there is an urgent need for new antidiabetic drugs. α-Glucosidase inhibition is an established protocol for T2DM therapy. Because hyperglycemia causes oxidative tissue damage, the development of agents with both α-glucosidase inhibition and antioxidant activity from natural or natural-derived polyphenols such derivatives of rosmarinic acid (RA) represents an attractive therapeutic option. We report a study on amides 1-10 derived from RA and their evaluation for yeast α-glucosidase inhibition and antioxidant activity (DPPH and ORAC tests). All amides showed higher inhibitory activity than that of RA, were by far mor…
Early ROS-mediated DNA damage and oxidative stress biomarkers in Monoclonal B Lymphocytosis
2012
Monoclonal B Lymphocytosis (MBL) is defined as asymptomatic monoclonal B-cell expansion characterised by a CLL-phenotype, but with less than 5 x 10(9)/I circulating cells. Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cell damage plays a critical role in the initiation of carcinogenesis as well as in malignant transformation. The goal of this study was to perform an analysis of the oxidative stress statuses of patients affected by MBL and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). We examined peripheral blood and urine specimens from 29 patients with MBL, 55 with CLL and 31 healthy subjects. There was a significant increase in the occurrence of the mutagenic base 8-oxo-2'-deoxiguanosine (8-oxo-dG) in th…
Transcriptional Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Different Nitrogen Concentrations during Alcoholic Fermentation▿ †
2007
Gene expression profiles of a wine strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae PYCC4072 were monitored during alcoholic fermentations with three different nitrogen supplies: (i) control fermentation (with enough nitrogen to complete sugar fermentation), (ii) nitrogen-limiting fermentation, and (iii) the addition of nitrogen to the nitrogen-limiting fermentation (refed fermentation). Approximately 70% of the yeast transcriptome was altered in at least one of the fermentation stages studied, revealing the continuous adjustment of yeast cells to stressful conditions. Nitrogen concentration had a decisive effect on gene expression during fermentation. The largest changes in transcription profiles were o…
PINK1: a critical protein kinase in the molecular mechanisms involved in Cancer and Parkinson's disease
2012
El cáncer y la enfermedad de Parkinson (PD) son dos enfermedades en las que el mecanismo pato- fisiológico final no está completamente definido. Datos epidemiológicos indican que los pacientes con PD poseen bajo riesgo de cáncer, con la excepción de melanoma maligno y cánceres de piel, tiroides y mama, lo que sugiere una conexión funcional entre PD y cáncer. Apoyando esta conexión, la desregulación de la homeostasis mitocondrial es una característica importante en la patogénesis de ambas enfermedades. Recientemente, varios genes asociados a PD, tales como Parkin, LRRK2, DJ-1, y PINK1, han sido propuestos como moduladores de procesos cancerígenos. Mutaciones en el gen de PINK1 están asociada…
Estudio del estrés oxidativo hepático asociado a la enfermedad de Alzheimer. Efecto del tratamiento con bexaroteno y/o genisteína
2013
La enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) no tiene una etiología perfectamente definida. Una de las teorías que se barajan como causa de la EA es la del péptido β-amiloide (βA). Esta molécula es neurotóxica y es capaz de producir estrés oxidativo. Se forma principalmente en el cerebro y se acumula formando placas extracelulares. Se ha sugerido que el βA es el eje principal de la EA, y por tanto que a partir de esta molécula se desencadenan todos los procesos asociados a la EA, lo que se ha llamado la cascada amiloidea. Otra de las hipótesis es la que la relaciona con el estrés oxidativo. Este factor sería el agente que realmente provoca toda la serie de cambios descritos en los tejidos nerviosos, a t…

Sprint and endurance training in relation to redox and inflammatory status and biomarkers of aging in master athletes
2020
Purpose Studies have shown a positive influence of intense athletic training on several biomarkers of aging, but it remains unclear whether this influence is dependent of exercise-training-mode. This study compared redox balance, cytokine levels and biomarkers of aging between master sprinters and endurance athletes, as well as in young and middle-aged individuals as controls. Methods Participants were male master sprinters (SA, 50±8.9yrs; n=13) and endurance runners (EA, 53±8.2yrs; n=18) with remarkable athletic experience (∼25yrs of practice), besides untrained young (YC, 22.7±3.9yrs; n=17) and age-matched controls (MC, 45.5±9.8yrs; n=12). Anamnesis, anthropometrics, biomarkers of aging, …
