Oxidative stress markers at birth: Analyses of a neonatal population
2015
In order to further understand neonatal stress and, thus, control it efficaciously, there is a need for more information on the manifestations of stress at the molecular level in the newborn, with particular regard to oxidants, and anti-oxidant and anti-stress mechanisms, including mitochondrial heat shock protein-chaperones such as Hsp60. We investigated patterns of anti-oxidants, biomarkers of oxidative stress, and Hsp60 levels in sera from newborns and found significant associations between glutathione (GSH) levels and gestational age, delivery modality, and lipid hydroperoxydes (LOOH) level. LOOH levels and spontaneous (vaginal) delivery were independently associated with increased GSH …
''Deferoxamine blocks death induced by glutathione depletion in PC 12 cells''
2013
Chouraqui, E. | Leon, A. | Repesse, Y. | Prigent-Tessier, A. | Bouhallab, S. | Bougle, D. | Marie, C. | Duval, D.; International audience; ''The purpose of the present work was to investigate the mechanisms by which glutathione depletion induced by treatment with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) led within 24-30 h to PC 12 cells apoptosis. Our results showed that treatment by relatively low concentrations (10-30 mu M) of deferoxamine (DFx), a natural iron-specific chelator, almost completely shielded the cells from BSO-induced toxicity and that DFx still remained protective when added up to 9-12 h after BSO treatment. On the other hand, phosphopeptides derived from milk casein and known to carr…
