Summary: Carbamazepine, a commonly used anti-epileptic drug, has been found in wastewater and can be absorbed by plants like lettuce, leading to oxidative stress in the plants. The study showed that CBZ induced oxidative stress in lettuce plants, with increased levels of hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde. Antioxidative enzymes like SOD, CAT, GPOD, APX played important roles in leaves, while CAT, GPOD, and GR showed increased activity in roots.

Summary: This study is the first to report on the efficacy of lupeol as a salt stress mitigating molecule in plants. It found that lupeol can alleviate the adverse effects of salt stress on plant growth and biomass traits. However, when lupeol was applied along with salt stress, the activity of antioxidative enzymes and the concentrations of phenolics and flavonoids decreased.

Summary: The study found that meat proteins induced higher oxidative stress in the liver compared to casein and soybean protein. White meat proteins, such as fish and chicken, showed higher antioxidant capacity by promoting hepatic superoxide dismutase activity and total antioxidant capacity, compared to soybean and red meat proteins. Therefore, intake of moderate white meat proteins was suggested to be more conducive to hepatic antioxidative status than soybean and red meat proteins.

Summary: Salinity is a serious environmental issue that negatively affects crop growth and productivity worldwide. Different cultivars of lettuce may have different adaptive mechanisms to salt stress. The application of biostimulants, such as glutamic acid, has shown to improve plant responses to abiotic stresses. This study aimed to explore the physiological mechanisms of Romaine lettuce plants in response to salt stress and glutamic acid treatment.

Summary: The study found that whole blood SOD concentrations were significantly lower in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea, while serum/plasma SOD concentrations did not show a significant difference. This suggests an impaired antioxidant defence in OSA patients.

Summary: This study systematically identified and analyzed the SOD gene family of woody plant Liriodendron chinense, and investigated the transcriptional responses of LcSOD genes to abiotic stresses. A total of eight SOD genes were identified and divided into two subgroups. The gene expression analysis revealed the response of LcSOD genes to abiotic stresses, providing potential targets for improving stress tolerance in L. chinense.

Summary: Alterations in the concentration/activity of superoxide dismutase isozymes in the context of type 2 diabetes or obesity are well-documented, with hereditary factors and SNPs being linked to the incidence of these conditions. This study highlights the variability of concentration/activity of superoxide dismutase isozymes in plasma in relation to type 2 diabetes and selected SNPs, revealing potential connections and implications for disease development. Genotypic variability of certain SNPs, such as rs4880 (SOD2), may affect the odds of type 2 diabetes or obesity, supporting findings from previous research.

Summary: This study identified superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) gene families in cultivated and wild soybeans, as well as other legume species. The results showed that cultivated and wild soybeans had the highest number of SODs and GPXs, and exhibited highest homology among legume species. The evolution of these gene families was mainly driven by purifying selection and segmental duplication. Furthermore, these genes showed significant differential expression in response to oxidative, drought, and salinity stresses.

Summary: Copper-deposited ceria nanoparticles (CuCe NPs) exhibit enhanced antioxidant effects and therapeutic performance through the upregulation of specific biological factors, scavenging reactive oxygen species, and promoting anti-inflammation and M2 polarization of macrophages. In ischemic vascular diseases, CuCe NPs afford increased perfusion and alleviate tissue damage.

Summary: This study demonstrates that MtmA is involved in responding to oxidative stress by activating mitochondrial SodB activity in A. fumigatus. MtmA, especially for the first Mito-carr domain, is essential for colony growth by regulating cellular Zn2+ equilibrium and responses to oxidative stress. This study reveals the vital and unique role of the MtmA protein in pathogenic fungi, suggesting its potential as a target for antifungal drugs.

Summary: The study demonstrates that CeVO4 nanozyme can substitute the function of SOD1 and SOD2 in neuronal cells even when the natural enzymes are down-regulated. The nanozyme prevents mitochondrial damage by regulating superoxide levels and restores physiological levels of anti-apoptotic proteins. Additionally, it effectively prevents mitochondrial depolarization and improves cellular ATP levels under oxidative stress.

Summary: The study identified six putative QTLs contributing to Fe-toxicity tolerance in rice and found that an introgression from O. meridionalis on chromosome 9 conferred high tolerance despite high shoot Fe concentrations. Physiological, biochemical, ionomic, and transcriptomic analyses revealed that the tolerance may be explained by higher relative Fe retention in the leaf sheath and culm. The interspecific hybrid genome analysis identified differentially regulated introgressed genes from O. meridionalis that could play a role in shoot-based Fe tolerance.

Summary: Zinc is a key micronutrient for plants and animals, and understanding its homeostasis can have positive impacts on agriculture and human health. This study found that the accumulation of zinc in the base of trichomes on leaves is influenced by the overall zinc concentration in the plant, offering a basis for further research on the molecular mechanisms involved in zinc spatial distribution in plants.
