Summary: CoQ10 exhibits antioxidant properties and can protect cells from oxidative stress and cytotoxicity induced by pro-oxidant compounds, especially arsenic. Even in combination with Zn, CoQ10 is still able to maintain cellular activity, while higher concentrations of Zn may have detrimental effects on cells.

Summary: In this study, the use of salicylic acid (SA) was found to reduce the toxicity of arsenic (As) and enhance the antioxidant capacity of Brassica napus plants, leading to improved growth and photosynthesis. A concentration of 500 mM SA was most effective in mitigating the adverse effects of As.

Summary: Arsenic accumulation in plant tissues poses a threat to crop productivity and global food security. This study investigated the role of thiamine and IAA in maize growth under different arsenic stress levels. The results showed that thiamine and IAA treatments improved maize growth and enhanced its tolerance to arsenic stress.

Summary: The pathophysiology of schizophrenia is still not well understood. Genetic factors and oxidative stress play key roles in its development and progression. Oxidative stress leads to the continuous production of oxidation products, such as AGEs and AOPPs, which interact with their receptors, amplifying the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. In this study, plasma levels of AGEs and AOPPs were found to be significantly higher in schizophrenia patients compared to controls, confirming their involvement in mental disorders. Antioxidant nutraceuticals and a healthy lifestyle could reduce oxidative stress and alleviate schizophrenia symptoms.

Summary: Arsenic pollution in water is a pressing issue that has adverse effects on aquatic organisms, as demonstrated by this study on common carp. The study found that exposure to arsenic led to adverse effects on the heart and abnormal expression of factors related to inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and oxidative stress. However, zinc administration significantly alleviated the pathological abnormalities induced by arsenic and restored expression of metallothionein and heat shock protein. This suggests the potential use of zinc as a therapeutic agent for arsenic-induced aquatic toxicology.

Summary: This study investigates the effectiveness of salicylic acid and sulfur in reducing the negative effects of arsenic on Brassica napus plants. The results show that the application of salicylic acid and sulfur can decrease oxidative stress, reduce arsenic accumulation, and improve photosynthetic efficiency and antioxidant capacity. These findings have practical implications for the management of arsenic-contaminated soils.

Summary: Exposure to arsenic leads to male reproductive damage by causing oxidative stress, inhibiting the SIRT1/PGC-1 alpha pathway, and impairing mitochondrial function. However, zinc supplementation can block these processes and reverse the damage to testes, sperm quality, and fertility. This study provides insights into the mechanisms of arsenic-induced male reproductive damage and highlights the therapeutic significance of zinc.

Summary: Arsenic induces oxidative damage and neurotransmitter disorder in broiler brain tissue, while selenium supplementation at appropriate doses can provide protection against these damages. However, excessive selenium intake may exacerbate the toxic effects of arsenic instead of offering protection.

Summary: The study demonstrated that melatonin has potential neuroprotective properties in reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis in the brains of rats exposed to gamma radiation. This suggests that melatonin may have beneficial effects in clinical and occupational settings involving radiation exposure. Further research is needed to fully understand its neuroprotective effects in humans.
