Fish oil contains large amounts of essential omega-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaneoic acids, which are building structures of cell membranes. The goal of this study was to elucidate the effects of dietary omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on the oxidant/antioxidant status of erythrocytes in rats. The malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) levels and the catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) activities were assayed in erythrocytes of male Wistar albino rats after 30 days of dietary supplementation with fish oil (0.4 g/kg/day). Erythrocyte CAT activity in the treated group was increased in comparison with the control group. Erythrocyte MDA and NO levels were lower in the treated group than the controls. Erythrocyte GSH-Px and SOD activities did not differ significantly in the 2 groups. Negative correlations were found between SOD and CAT activities, and between SOD and GSH-Px activities in the treated group. In conclusion, omega-3 fatty acid supplementation helps to prevent lipid peroxidation and to safeguard erythrocytes from oxidative injury. Dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids might possibly protect tissues from oxygen free radical injury in the various diseases in which the oxidant/antioxidant defense mechanisms are disturbed.  相似文献

Membrane abnormalities and a shortened life span are closely associated with the progressive cardiomyopathy of dystrophic hamsters. In the present work we investigate whether this membrane damage is associated with changes in the primary membrane defences (the anti-oxidative enzymes). We measured the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH.Px), and catalase (CAT) in hearts of normal and cardiomyopathic (CHF 147) hamsters, aged 17 days to 12 months. In normal hearts all the enzyme activities follow a U-shaped curve: unweaned animals have 20-40% higher enzyme activities and 11-month-old hamsters 50-160% higher activities than adolescent or adult hamster hearts. Changes in this age-related pattern of enzyme activities are seen in dystrophic hearts in all but the 17-20-day-old animals. At 30 days of age and older, GSH.Px activities are decreased and SOD and CAT activities increased in cardiomyopathic hamsters compared to normal animals. SOD, while elevated, seems less affected than GSH.Px and CAT as the disease progresses. The changes in both absolute activities and ratio of activities of the anti-oxidative enzymes parallel the changes in the cardiomyopathic pathology. This work supports the view that the progressive cardiomyopathy of CHF 147 hamsters may be associated with changes in primary membrane defenses.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to establish the antioxidant status and oxidative stress in adult patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Eighty‐four patients diagnosed with chronic ITP were studied. Fifty‐eight age‐matched healthy subjects were selected as controls. Serum nitrogen monoxide ( NO), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), superoxide dismutase(SOD), hydrogen peroxide enzyme (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH‐Px), glutathione (GSH) were evaluated by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). It was found that serum SOD, CAT, GSH‐Px, GSH, TAS levels were significantly lower in patients with chronic ITP than controls (all P < 0.05), while serum NO, GSSG, MDA, TOS values were significantly higher (P < 0.05). The number of platelet showed a negative correlation with NO, GSSG, MDA, TOS, respectively,while platelet number showed a positive correlation with SOD, CAT, GSH‐Px, GSH, TAS. These findings suggested that oxidants were increased and antioxidants were decreased in patients with chronic ITP, these may be prominent factors in destructing the platelet membrane. The scavenging of oxygen radical provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of ITP patients.  相似文献

This experimental study was designed to investigate the effects of vitamin E supplementation, especially on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status elements 3/4 namely, glutathione (GSH), CuZn superoxide dismutase (CuZn SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH Px), both in blood and liver tissues of streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats. The extent to which blood can be used to reflect the oxidative stress of the liver is also investigated. In diabetic rats, plasma lipid peroxide values were not significantly different,from control,whereas erythrocyte CuZn SOD (p < 0.01), GSH Px (p < 0.001) activities and plasma vitamin E levels (p < 0.001), were significantly more elevated than controls. Vitamin E supplementation caused significant decreases of erythrocyte GSH level (p < 0.01) in control rats and of erythrocyte GSH Px activity (p < 0.05) in diabetic rats. Liver findings revealed significantly higher lipid peroxide (p < 0.001) and vitamin E (p < 0.01) levels and lower GSH (p < 0.001), CuZn SOD (p < 0.001) and GSH Px (p < 0.01) levels in diabetic rats. A decreased hepatic lipid peroxide level (p < 0.01) and increased vitamin E/lipid peroxide ratio (p < 0.001) were observed in vitamin E supplemented, diabetic rats. A vitamin E supplementation level which did not cause any increase in the concentration of the vitamin in the liver or blood, was sufficient to lower lipid peroxidation in the liver. Vitamin E/lipid peroxide ratio is suggested as an appropriate index to evaluate the efficiency of vitamin E activity,independent of tissue lipid values. Further, the antioxidant components GSH, GSH Px and CuZn SOD and the relationships among them, were affected differently in the liver and blood by diabetes or vitamin E supplementation.  相似文献

Enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were determined in the liver as well as several specific brain regions of young and old Fischer-344 rats of both sexes. In the liver of male rats, activities of CAT as well as Mn-SOD were lower, while activities of Cu Zn-SOD were higher in old (30-month-old) rats than in young (7-month-old) ones. Activities of total SOD as well as GSH Px were comparable for young and old male rat livers. In contrast to male rats, in female rat livers, activities of CAT were significantly higher in old (28-months-old) rats, while activities of Mn-SOD were slightly (but significantly) higher in old rat livers. In old male rats, activities of Mn-SOD were significantly higher than in young males in several specific regions of the brain (the substantia nigra (s. nigra), striatum, hippocampus) but lower in the cerebellum. In particular, SOD activities in s. nigra, striatum and hippocampus in old male rats were several fold higher than corresponding values in young male rats. Activities of Cu Zn-SOD were generally unchanged with age. Activities of CAT as well as GSH-Px (both Se-dependent and non-Se-dependent forms) were also relatively unaffected by age. In female rat brains, activities of Mn-SOD as well as those of others all remained mostly unaffected by aging, although there was a general tendency of slightly higher activities in most cerebral regions for Mn-SOD in old female rats. Thus, age-related changes of these antioxidant enzymes in the liver and brain are markedly sex dependent and some enzyme activities (such as CAT in the liver) change in an opposite direction with age. Changes of Mn-SOD in the brain were markedly region-specific in male rats. Results suggest that the significance of the changes of these antioxidant enzyme activities during aging needs to be carefully interpreted, taking into consideration the fact that changes are markedly variable depending on sex as well as the organs and brain regions examined.  相似文献
