Redox Imbalance and Antioxidant Defenses Dysfunction: Key Contributors to Early Aging in Childhood Cancer Survivors by Vanessa Cossu, Nadia Bertola, Chiara Fresia, Federica Sabatini, Silvia Ravera

“…Results show impaired antioxidant responses and increased oxidative stress in CCS MNCs, which exhibited uncoupled oxidative phosphorylation, leading to higher production of reactive oxygen species, similar to metabolic issues seen in elderly individuals. Key antioxidant enzymes, namely glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase, showed reduced activity, likely due to lower expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2–related factor 2 (Nrf2). …”
