Summary: Graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) have wide applications and their waste production leads to contamination in water. Little is known about their interaction with fish cells. In this study, we investigated the effects of GO and rGO exposure on zebrafish liver cells. GO exposure increased antioxidant activity and protected the cells from oxidative damage, while rGO exposure resulted in increased ROS production, lipid peroxidation, and DNA damage. rGO was more toxic to the cells than GO, even at low concentrations.

Summary: Through a systematic review and meta-analysis, it was found that individuals with obesity have decreased total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and increased markers of oxidative stress compared to individuals with normal weight. Furthermore, there were significant correlations between TAC and anthropometric and metabolic parameters, such as weight, hip circumference, visceral adipose index, triglycerides, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and uric acid, highlighting the importance of these serum biomarkers in obesity.

Summary: Oxidative stress and depletion of antioxidant defenses may contribute to cataract incidence in patients under 60 years. This study measured antioxidant enzyme activity, vitamin concentrations, and oxidative stress markers in cataract patients and controls. The results showed lower activity of antioxidant enzymes and lower concentrations of vitamins A and E in cataract patients. Additionally, higher levels of lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation were observed, indicating increased oxidative stress in cataract patients. Supplementation with antioxidants could be beneficial for this group of patients.

Summary: Oxidative stress is linked to various diseases, and studies have shown that raspberry ketone exhibits antioxidant properties by increasing total antioxidant capacity, upregulating antioxidant enzymes, and improving lipid peroxidation. Further clinical studies are needed to verify its value as an effective antioxidant and therapeutic agent.

Summary: This study investigated the combined effects of thermal stress and copper exposure on the trophic behavior and oxidative status of the reef-building coral Mussismilia harttii. The findings showed that the trophic behavior remained mostly autotrophic under individual and combined stressors, while the 12-day experiment revealed changes in heterotrophy markers. Additionally, different responses were observed in LPO and TAC levels for both coral and symbiont under the combined stressors, highlighting the differential physiological responses of host and symbionts to global and local stressors.

Summary: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age, and it has specific cardiometabolic properties. The presence of metabolic disorders in PCOS emphasizes the importance of regulating glycemic status. Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) have potential advantages in managing PCOS by improving glucose metabolism, reducing fat tissue, lowering blood pressure, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, and protecting the cardiovascular system.

Summary: Small molecules are not effective in antioxidant therapy for cardiovascular diseases, so hemocompatible polymeric antioxidants are considered as a potential alternative. In this study, a new polymeric antioxidant called CSt-DiBP was synthesized by attaching terpenophenol to cationic starch. The resulting compounds showed lower viscosity and rheopexy properties in water solutions. CSt-DiBPs exhibited high antioxidant activity and effectively protected erythrocytes under conditions of acute oxidative stress. In vitro analysis showed that the synthesized polymeric antioxidants had high hemocompatibility and did not affect plasma coagulation in vivo.

Summary: In this study, the oxidative stress states were compared between postmenopausal women with and without obesity. The results showed that women with obesity had doubled levels of oxidative stress markers compared to women of normal weight. The severity of oxidative stress was correlated with body mass index, visceral fat mass, and trunk fat percentage, but not with fasting glucose levels. These findings suggest that obesity and visceral fat increase oxidative stress in postmenopausal women, potentially increasing the risks of cardiometabolic and cancer diseases.

Summary: Extensive research on the deregulated metabolic pathways in Trisomy 21 has indicated that oxidative stress plays a significant role in the manifestation of the Down syndrome phenotype. Despite promising in vivo studies, there is currently a lack of antioxidant treatment options targeting cognitive impairments associated with Trisomy 21. This literature review summarizes the pathogenesis of Down syndrome and presents recent innovative research focusing on improving cognitive function through antioxidant interventions.

Summary: Cinnamon supplementation showed promising effects in increasing high-density lipoprotein and insulin sensitivity, while decreasing low-density lipoprotein, triglyceride, and blood glucose in patients with PCOS. However, inconsistent results were found regarding the potential effects of cinnamon on body weight and body mass index, calling for further studies. Despite improved results on oxidative stress and ovarian function, additional research is needed to explore the precise mechanisms.

Summary: The objective of this study was to assess the influence of the test-to-delivery interval on the performance of ultrasound and MRI in predicting birthweight. The results showed that MRI performed best in predicting birthweight greater than gestational age if delivery occurred within two weeks of the examination, with a slight decrease thereafter, while ultrasound performance decreased drastically over time.

Summary: This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate whether induction of labor is associated with a lower risk of cesarean section in patients with isolated polyhydramnios. The study found that planned induction was associated with a lower rate of cesarean delivery compared to expectant management, but the difference was not statistically significant. Additionally, no differences were observed in maternal or fetal secondary outcomes.

Summary: This systematic review examined the comorbidity of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and their impact on metabolism, hormone levels, and reproduction. The findings showed a high prevalence of comorbidity between the two conditions, which may have significant clinical implications for patient management.
