It is believed that the formation of these polymers can be avoided by using very dilute solutions of TEP or TMP for the Malondialdehyde, a product of polyunsaturated fatty acid hydrolyses (15). Since MDA is a relatively weak mutagen, high metabolism and degradation, has been reported to be muta concentrations must be used to detect a mutagenic response genic and carcinogenic.

    OxisResearch™ A Division of OXIS Health Products, Inc. BIOXYTECHÒ MDA-586™ Spectrophotometric Assay for Malondialdehyde For Research Use Only. Not For Use In Diagnostic Procedures. Catalog Number 21044 INTRODUCTION The Analyte Lipid peroxidation is a well-established mechanism of cellular injury in both plants and animals, and is used as an indicator of oxidative stress in cells and tissues. Lipid peroxides, derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids, are unstable and decompose to form a complex series of compounds. These include reactive carbonyl compounds, of which the most abundant is malondialdehyde (MDA). Therefore, measurement of malondialdehyde is widely used as an indicator of lipid peroxidation (1). Increased levels of lipid peroxidation products have been associated with a variety of chronic diseases in both humans (2, 3) and model systems (4, 5). MDA reacts readily with amino groups on proteins and other biomolecules to form a variety of adducts (1), including cross-linked products (6). MDA also forms adducts with DNA bases that are mutagenic (7, 8) and possibly carcinogenic (9). DNA-protein cross-links are another result of the reaction between DNA and MDA (10). The TBARS method is commonly used to measure MDA in biological samples (11). However, this reaction is relatively nonspecific; both free and protein-bound MDA can react. The MDA-586 method is designed to assay free MDA or, after a hydrolysis step, total MDA (i.e., free and protein-bound Schiff base conjugates). The assay conditions serve to minimize interference from other lipid peroxidation products, such as 4- hydroxyalkenals. PRINCIPLES OF THE PROCEDURE The MDA-586 method1 (12) is based on the reaction of a chromogenic reagent, N-methyl-2- phenylindole (R1, NMPI), with MDA at 45°C.

It has led to the notion that drugs developed for the treatment of T2DM may be beneficial in modifying the pathophysiology of AD. As a receptor agonist of glucagon- like peptide (GLP-1R) which is a newer drug class to treat T2DM, Geniposide shows clear effects in inhibiting pathological processes underlying AD, such as and promoting neurite outgrowth. In the present article, we review possible molecular mechanisms of geniposide to protect the brain from pathologic damages underlying AD: reducing amyloid plaques, inhibiting tau phosphorylation, preventing memory impairment and loss of synapses, reducing oxidative stress and the chronic inflammatory response, and promoting neurite outgrowth via the GLP-1R signaling pathway. In summary, the Chinese herb geniposide shows great promise as a novel treatment for AD.

  • Phenethylamine in Chlorella Alleviates High-Fat Diet-Induced Mouse Liver
    www.nature.com/npjscifood ARTICLE OPEN Phenethylamine in chlorella alleviates high-fat diet-induced mouse liver damage by regulating generation of methylglyoxal ✉ Yifeng Zheng1, Agustin Martin-Morales1, Jing Wang1, Masaki Fujishima 2, Eri Okumura 2 and Kenji Sato 1 This study examined the effects of oral administration of water extract of chlorella (WEC) (100 mg/kg bodyweight) and phenethylamine (10 μg/kg bodyweight) on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced liver damage in mice. Phenethylamine significantly mitigated HFD-induced lipid oxidation (generation of malondialdehyde) and liver damage without markedly decreasing hepatic lipid accumulation. WEC exerted similar effects although with decreased efficacy. In addition, WEC and phenethylamine decreased the methylglyoxal levels and increased the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) protein levels in the liver. Methylglyoxal is generated from substrates of GAPDH, dihydroxyacetone phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. These facts indicate that methylglyoxal triggers oxidation of accumulated lipid, which generates malondialdehyde and consequently induces liver damage. Suppression of generation of toxic aldehydes by WEC and phenethylamine was also confirmed by maintaining hepatic cysteine, highly reactive to aldehydes. Thus, trace amounts of phenethylamine alleviate HFD-induced liver damage by regulating methylglyoxal via increase of GAPDH. npj Science of Food (2021) 5:22 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41538-021-00105-3 1234567890():,; INTRODUCTION lipid deposition-induced oxidative stress in the liver contributes to Chlorella pyrenoidosa, a freshwater unicellular green alga, and its the pathogenesis of NAFLD13,14, whereas the liver contains potent water extract have a long history of usage as food supplements. antioxidant enzyme systems, such as the superoxide dismutase Various animal studies and clinical trials have reported that C.

This study examined the cytoprotective properties of geniposide and its metabolite, genipin, against hepatic ischemia/ reperfusion (I/R) injury. C57BL/6 mice were subjected to 60 min of ischemia followed by 6 h of reperfusion. Geniposide (100 mg/ kg) and genipin (50 mg/kg) were administered orally 30 min before ischemia. In the I/R mice, the levels of serum alanine amino- transferase and hepatic lipid peroxidation were elevated, whereas hepatic glutathione/glutathione disulfide ratio was decreased. These changes were attenuated by geniposide and genipin administration. On the other hand, increased hepatic heme oxygen- ase-1 protein expression was potentiated by geniposide and genipin administration. The increased levels of tBid, cytochrome c protein expression and caspase-3 activity were attenuated by geniposide and genipin. Increased apoptotic cells in the I/R mice were also significantly reduced by geniposide and genipin treatment. Our results suggest that geniposide and genipin offer signifi- cant hepatoprotection against I/R injury by reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis.

A major way by which the latter can provoke structural damage to biological macromolecules, such as DNA, lipids, and proteins, is by fueling the peroxidation of membrane lipids, leading to the production of several reactive aldehydes. Lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes can not only modify biological macromolecules, by forming covalent electrophilic addition products with them, but also act as second messengers of oxidative stress, having relatively extended lifespans. Their effects might be further enhanced with aging, as their concentrations in cells and biological fluids increase with age.

Messner1,3, Hayley Jean Koslik1,4, Jun Hee Han1 and Barnabas Yik1,5 Abstract Background: Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a candidate general marker of oxidative stress (OS). We sought to assess the relation of MDA to Gulf War illness (GWI) and to a variety of exposures. Methods: This is an observational study involving subjects from Southern California recruited from October 2011 to May 2014. MDA was assessed in 81 participants (41 GWI-cases, 40 controls). General and Gulf-specifc exposures were elicited. MDA case–control comparison was restricted to 40 matched pairs. The potential association between MDA and exposures was assessed using regression analyses. Gulf-specifc exposures were incorporated into a case-specifc model. Results: Plasma MDA was signifcantly lower in GWI-cases than controls. Composite pesticide and fuel-solvent exposures negatively predicted MDA in the total sample, as well as in the analyses that included either GWI-cases or controls only. Self-reported exposure to organophosphate (OP) nerve gas was a strong predictor for lower MDA level in veterans with GWI. Conclusion: Past pesticide exposures predicted lower MDA in both veterans with GWI and in healthy controls.

Fibrinogen is a key protein involved in coagulation and its deposition on blood vessel walls plays an important KEYWORDS fibrinogen, acrolein, glycolaldehyde, role in the pathology of atherosclerosis. Although the glyoxal, malondialdehyde, methylglyoxal causes of fibrinogen (fibrin) deposition have been studied in depth, little is known about the relationship INTRODUCTION between fibrinogen deposition and reactive carbonyl compounds (RCCs), compounds which are produced Fibrinogen is a key protein involved in blood coagulation and and released into the blood and react with plasma hemostasis (Liu et al., 1979; Phillips et al., 1988; Sidelmann protein especially under conditions of oxidative stress et al., 2000). Both the amount (physiological concentrations and inflammation. Here, we investigated the effect of normally range from 1.5 mg/mL to 4 mg/mL in human blood) glycolaldehyde on the activity and deposition of and the activity of fibrinogen are important for maintaining the fibrinogen compared with the common RCCs acrolein, equilibrium of coagulation (Kamath and Lip, 2003).

RAMÍREZ A.,3 Ederley VÉLEZ O.3 y Maritza A. GIL G.3 ABSTRACT Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a major genotoxic carbonyl compound generated by lipid peroxidation and is also a by-product of the arachidonic acid metabolism in the synthesis of prostaglandins. MDA has been shown to be mutagenic in bacterial and mammalian systems and carcinogenic in rodents. Besides, it is known that MDA reacts with DNA to form adducts with deoxyguanosine, dG, deoxyadenosine, dA, and deoxycytidine, dC: M1G, M1A and M1C, respectively. In this paper we present a density functional theoretical study of the several nucleophilic additions followed by eliminations of MDA with dG, dA, and dC.
