Oxidative potential determines the oxidative stress and ferroptotic toxicity of airborne particulate matter on pulmonary epithelial cells by Bingxue Nie, Daoqiang Zhang, Xin Liu, Chengying Lei, Zhiruo Li, Nan Zhang, Shuping Zhang, Yiju Wei, Jie Zhang

“…In comparison to two kinds of commercial PM such as carbon black and SRM-1648a, real ambient PM2.5 induced more significant oxidative stress and ferroptosis, which was closely associated with its higher OP. Notably, the use of radical scavengers like vitamin C and coumarin decreased the OP of PM2.5 effectively, thereby leading to a decrease in its cytotoxic effects. …”

The state of lipid metabolism on the background of the use of ω -3 fatty acids in high-altitude conditions by Gulbarchyn Alisherovna Asrankulova, Zhyldyz Akmatovna Makhmudova, Zyinat Samidinovna Boronova, Meerim Taalaibekovna Taalaibekova, Zhyldyz Turusbekovna Ayipova, Unsun Satarkulovna Torobaeva

“…Increased activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase enzymes confirms that the rats’ bodies are trying to adapt to increased oxidative stress by activating free radical defense mechanisms. Oral administration of ω-3 fatty acids at a dose of 300 mg/kg of animal body weight once a day for 30 days leads to a decrease in the levels of atherogenic low-density lipoproteins, malondialdehyde, increase the level of anti-atherogenic high-density lipoproteins and activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase.…”
