An ideal "golden triangle" of oxidative balance, in which oxidants, antioxidants and biomolecules are placed at each apex, has been described (Carmeli et al 2002).
The integrated oxidative balance score reflects antioxidant (e.g., vitamin C) and pro-oxidant (e.g., iron) intakes (Van Hoydonck et al. 2002).
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent apnea during sleep that may compromise oxidative balance.
Zinc plays a significant role in oxidative balance and central nervous systems.
Restoration of maternal and fetal oxidative balance by NAC protects the fetus and reduces the rate of preterm birth.
Overall, it seems the effects of nanoceria on the oxidative balance as defined by "the rat oxidative stress profiler" are subtle, and not fully overlapping with the antioxidant effects of NAC.
This lack of success in previous trials should not preclude us from seeking novel ways of preventing cancer by modulating oxidative balance.
In conclusion, the current study revealed that insulin pathways, oxidative balance and glucose metabolism encoded genetic makeup are susceptible to MeHg toxicity and the subsequent oxidative stress and alternations in gene expression could lead toward functional abnormalities in other organs.
The present study illustrated that fasting blood glucose, insulin pathway, oxidative balance, inflammatory cytokines, cell viability and responsible genes of glucose metabolism are susceptible to styrene, which consequently lead to other abnormalities in various organs.
The present study was designed to assess MeHg induced toxicity in mouse plasma and pancreatic islets with respect to insulin secretion, oxidative balance, glucose tolerance, gene expression, caspases 3 and 9 activities.
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of a diet supplemented with 1 g per day of Q for 2 weeks on the erythrocytes oxidative balance before and after an acute bout of eccentric exercise (EE).
