Summary: The study found that protein concentrations were significantly higher in Bruguiera gymnorrhiza, Kandelia obovata, and Rhizophora stylosa under heavy metal stress conditions, while Avicennia marina had remarkably high MDA content. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) levels were significantly elevated in A. marina, A. corniculatum, and B. gymnorrhiza. Principal component analysis indicated that POD, SOD, and MDA were major indices for response to heavy metal stress, with A. marina demonstrating higher tolerance compared to other species.

Summary: This study compared the effects of different dietary treatments containing soybean oil alone or in combination with other vegetable oils on the intestinal health of sea bream. The results showed that the blend of soybean and linseed oils negatively affected intestinal integrity due to high oxidative stress. However, the addition of palm oil to the mixture helped maintain low oxidative stress and preserve intestinal health.

Summary: In this study, the effect of long-term selenomethionine administration on oxidative stress level, antioxidant protein/enzyme activity, mRNA expression, and element levels was investigated in mice. Selenomethionine supplementation significantly increased the levels of selenium in blood, liver, and brain, while affecting the homeostasis of iron, zinc, and copper. It also induced lipid peroxidation in blood and brain, and up-regulated the mRNA expression of antioxidant enzymes in the brain and liver.

Summary: The use of nanostructured aluminum oxides for biomedical applications shows promise in terms of their developed surface, chemical stability, low toxicity and high biological activity against tumor cells. However, the key processes determining the therapeutic effect of these reagents are not well understood. This study investigated the effects of different nanostructure morphologies on various cellular indicators, and found that different gamma-Al2O3 morphologies have different effects on the concentration of lipid peroxidation product and cathepsin D activity.

Summary: This case-control study investigated the association of antioxidant gene polymorphisms with male infertility in Vietnamese men. The research found that the SOD1:7958GA genotype and NOS3:-786CT genotype were significantly higher in the infertility group compared to the control group, and the frequency of the SOD2:c.47TC genotype was significantly higher in the male infertility group. Gene-gene interactions between SOD1, SOD2, and CAT SNPs might increase the risk of male infertility.

Summary: This study investigates the molecular basis of pro-ferroptotic interactions between 15LOX-1 and PEBP1. The association of the complex with the membrane triggers a conformational change, facilitating substrate access to the catalytic site. Binding of SAPE promotes tight interactions and induces further conformational changes for the oxidation reaction. The PEBP1 P112E mutation is found to be significant in generating ferroptotic cell death signals.

Summary: Sleep deprivation is a widespread issue in modern society, with unclear effects on oxidative stress. This review analyzed experimental data from studies on rat models conducted between 2015 and 2022, and found that sleep deprivation appears to affect oxidative stress parameters, indicating a potential antioxidant role of sleep. The effects of sleep deprivation were observed in different protocols and rat strains, and extended beyond the central nervous system to other body sites. Sleep recovery exhibited variability, with some parameters normalizing and others showing long-lasting changes. The presence of a stress response following sleep deprivation was also noted, but its origin and impact remain unclear.

Summary: This study investigated the biological effects of salicylic acid (SA) in mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. It was found that exposure to SA did not cause histological alterations in mussel gills, but resulted in hemocyte infiltration as a defensive response. The study also revealed antioxidant and detoxifying responses, as well as inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity in mussels exposed to SA.

Summary: The KNOX gene plays crucial roles in plant development, and this study identified 19 KNOX gene members in kiwifruit. One of the genes, AcKNOX11, is selectively expressed in flower buds and shoots, and its expression can be induced by ABA and melatonin. Functional analysis revealed that AcKNOX11 delays flowering, reduces plant height, alters leaf shape, and inhibits seed germination through ABA-melatonin interaction.

Summary: Bagging is a crucial cultivation measure that affects the quality of peach fruit by regulating exposure to light. This study investigated the effects of bagging on the content of phenolic compounds in peach fruit and identified the most sensitive compounds to bagging treatment. The study also explored the regulatory role of bagging on phenolic synthetic-related genes. The results showed that bagging affected the accumulation of different phenolics in different peach cultivars and light intensity played a significant role in the accumulation of anthocyanins and other phenolic substances in peach fruit. Additionally, the expression of structural genes and transcription factors related to phenolic synthesis was regulated by bagging and light conditions. These findings provide a foundation for understanding the regulation mechanism of light on the synthesis of phenolic compounds in peach fruit.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of water stress on cocoa trees and found that they are highly sensitive to water stress, with different genotypes exhibiting varied responses. Potassium application did not mitigate the negative effects of water stress. There was significant variation among genotypes in terms of leaf and crown traits, and positive interactions between genotype and irrigation were observed. These findings provide insights into the acclimation strategies of cocoa trees and can be useful for selecting drought-tolerant genotypes.
