Summary: Treatment of faba bean seeds with 0.001 M Zn solution followed by surface drying can improve biomass production, leaf area, α-amylase activity, soluble sugar, SPAD value, leaf Zn concentration, while reducing leaf malondialdehyde content and total antioxidant activities under drought stress. Adequate Zn supply through seed priming can help in alleviating the adverse effects of drought stress during the early seedling growth stage in faba bean.

Summary: This experiment evaluated the effects of different seed priming agents on mitigating the negative impact of chromium toxicity on canola plants. The results showed that seed priming with calcium chloride and salicylic acid significantly improved growth and chlorophyll content, reduced oxidative stress, and enhanced the antioxidant system of canola plants under chromium toxicity.

Summary: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate oxidative lipid degradation biomarkers and antioxidant defense system components in healthy women and their relationships with age, anthropometric measures, and lipid metabolism biomarkers. The findings suggest that these indices could be useful biomarkers in the research of aging, obesity, and atherosclerosis pathogenesis.

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: Drought and osmotic stresses pose major threats to agricultural crops, particularly during seed germination and seedling establishment. Seed priming techniques, such as osmo-priming with chitosan and hydro-priming with distilled water, have been found to improve the stress tolerance of Zea mays L. under PEG-induced osmotic stress. These priming techniques modulate the levels of photosynthetic pigments, proline, and antioxidant enzymes, enhancing the growth and physiological attributes of the plant.

Summary: A recent prospective study found that COVID-19 patients experience significant reductions in cholesterol levels and increased oxidative stress during the course of the disease. Lipid peroxidation was found to be associated with alterations in lipid profiles and inflammation. Survivors of COVID-19 showed recovery in their lipid profiles during long-term follow-up, but those with higher oxidative responses developed atherogenic lipid profiles.

Summary: This study found that sesame lignans can attenuate oxidative stress and regulate lipid metabolism in liver cells, suggesting their potential as therapeutic agents for treating NAFLD. Sesame lignans have excellent lipid-lowering effects and provide potential molecular mechanisms for NAFLD treatment.

Summary: Pollution of the environment with plastic is a significant concern in the modern world. Despite recycling methods, a substantial amount of plastic is still deposited in the environment. Nanoplastic, in particular, poses a serious danger as it can be effectively taken up and transported within organisms. It has been found to exert toxic effects on plants, mainly through oxidative response.

Summary: Endosulfan exposure causes high levels of oxidative stress in the liver and brain, leading to reduced antioxidant enzyme activity and increased ROS and lipid peroxidation. The brain is more susceptible to oxidative stress than the liver, likely due to its lower antioxidant defenses and higher oxygen consumption.
