Summary: Life-history theory predicts a trade-off between investment in reproduction traits and survival or longevity. This study found that individuals can respond to metabolic stress by increasing cellular maintenance responses, which may increase longevity at a cost to reproductive investment.

Summary: Sea urchin Sterechinus neumayeri tissues were used for passive biomonitoring of toxic and trace elements at Comandante Ferraz Station in Antarctica, compared to the pristine region of Botany. The study found that urchins from the Ferraz Station area had higher levels of certain elements compared to the pristine location. This study suggests that S. neumayeri can be used for the biomonitoring of certain elements such as Cr and Zn.

Summary: Global warming poses a threat to marine Antarctic fauna that has evolved in isolation for millions of years. The study evaluates the acclimation capacity of the Antarctic sea urchin S. neumayeri and identifies the subcellular mechanisms underlying their acclimation. The results suggest that S. neumayeri can adapt to higher temperatures, but it may take more than 22 weeks. Therefore, projections of climate change for the end of the century may not significantly impact the population of S. neumayeri in this part of the Antarctic.

Summary: Aquaculture production is an important source of protein in our diet, but marine pollution poses serious challenges to the food safety of molluscs. The discovery of protein biomarkers through proteomic technologies can help monitor pollutants and improve protocols for seafood safety in the face of growing marine pollution.

Summary: This study provides evidence that organisms protect against oxidative stress during reproduction through dynamic interactions between behavioral and physiological adjustments at different stages. It also highlights the role of parental investment adjustment, such as filial cannibalism, in managing the cost of reproduction and maintaining antioxidant function.

Summary: The novel peptide HPp derived from Haematococcus pluvialis was found to extend the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans and enhance its antioxidant and stress resistance abilities through the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway. These findings suggest that HPp could serve as a potential anti-aging agent and have high value-added applications in marine microalgae.

Summary: Environmental pollution by metals can affect wildlife health. Some metals have an impact on the neuroendocrine stress response and can cause oxidative stress. This study investigates the association between metals and neuroendocrine stress activity, as well as biomarkers of oxidative stress in captive female Morelet's crocodiles.

Summary: The study suggests that exposure to constant temperatures can impose more stress on termite colonies compared to variable temperatures. Both queens and workers showed reduced survival and signs of aging under constant conditions. Surprisingly, workers exhibited a stronger oxidative stress defence signal than queens under constant conditions.

Summary: English Summary: Graviola, a plant found in tropical regions, has various ethnomedicinal uses such as treating insomnia, diabetes, cystitis, and headaches. It contains active components called annonaceous acetogenins, with over 100 compounds isolated from it. Graviola is also a source of phenolic compounds, essential oils, alkaloids, flavonol triglycosides, and megastigmanes, as well as several minerals. This paper provides an overview of the antioxidant properties of graviola and its major constituents, based on a review of electronic databases, but more research is needed to determine its antioxidant potential and safety.

Summary: This study identified serum albumin and 4 dietary antioxidants (vitamin A, B2, E, and folate) inversely associated with high-risk HPV infection in women. Low serum albumin level and inadequate intake of antioxidants may increase the risk of HPV infection.

Summary: Severe air pollution significantly impairs the homeostatic and regenerative potential of the skin, requiring innovative strategies to mitigate its effects. Research indicates that an aqueous leaf extract of a polyextremophile plant can protect human skin against the harmful effects of toxic pollutants, activating key genes involved in the skin's redox system and inflammatory/wound healing response.

Summary: Ischemic strokes occur due to arterial blockage, leading to interrupted blood supply to the brain and potential damage or death of brain cells. Oxidative stress is an essential mechanism in ischemic stroke, and the assessment of oxidative stress biomarkers can aid in diagnosing the severity and guiding neuroprotective therapies.

Summary: Periodontitis is a common oral disease caused by bacteria and immune responses. This study shows that the addition of hyaluronic acid to non-surgical periodontal therapy can increase antioxidants in saliva and improve the prognosis and results of periodontal therapy. Additionally, the levels of gingival inflammation and periodontal destruction are closely related to these markers.
