[6]-Gingerol, a major polyphenol of ginger (Zingiber officinale), exhibits a variety of biological properties including anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activity. However, the radioprotective effect of [6]-gingerol is still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the radioprotective effect of [6]-gingerol against radiation-induced cell cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in HepG2 cells. [6]-Gingerol pretreatment attenuated radiation-induced cell cytotoxicity caused by 5Gy (half lethal dose, $LD_{50}$ of HepG2 cells). The measurements of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity were also performed. The results showed that [6]-gingerol pretreatment reduced increasing SOD and CAT activity after exposure of IR, indicating that [6]-gingerol protected oxidative stress by regulating cellular antioxidant enzyme (SOD and CAT) activity. These findings suggest that [6]-gingerol acts as a radioprotector by attenuating cell cytotoxicity and oxidative stress.

In the present work we investigated the effect of regular physical exercise on the activities of erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme, plasma total radical-trapping antioxidant potential(TRAP) and plasma level of lipid peroxidation(malondialdehyde, MDA) in 64 healthy male, aged 34-67 years. The study population were divided in two groups: small amount of exerciser(exercise time less than 10min/d) and moderate amount of exerciser(exercise time more than 20min/d) according to their physical exercise habits measured by a questionnaire. Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) and catalase(CAT), plasma TRAP, as well as plasma MDA were determined. Erythrocyte GSH-Px and plasma TRAP were higher in moderate amount of exercisers than those in small amount of exercisers by 17% and 26%, respectively. No significant differences were observed in erythrocyte SOD, CAT and plasma MDA between the two groups. Mean exercise time was positively correlated with the erythrocyte GSH-Px activity and plasma TRAP significantly. The results would sugest that regular moderate exercise enhances antioxidant defences against reactive oxygen species and may increase the likelihood of a healthier life span.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of vitamin E supplementation renal lipid peroxidation in high fat diet and adriamycin (ADR) induced experimental nephrotic syndrome model rats. Treated rats were injected intraperitoneally with ADR (2mg/kgBW/wk) once a week for four weeks. control rats were injected with saline solution instead of ADR. The rats in each group were fed experimental diets of three levels of vitamin E for 10 weeks: Normal (501U/kg diet), high (5,000IU/kg diet), excess (7,500IU/kg diet). The high fat diet and ADR treatment was performed to induce the decrease of kidney functions. Serum total cholesterol was significantly decreased by the excess supplementation. But there was no effect of vitamin E supplementation on serum total lipid and triglyceride. Thiobarbituric acid reacting substances(TBARS) was significantly decreased at high and excess supplementation. Glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase ({TEX}$GP_{x}${/TEX}) and catalase activities (CAT) were measured as antioxidative enzymes. The renalglutathione reductase (GR) and catalase activities (CAT) were inclined to elevate by vitamin E supplementation. Thus the vitamin E supplementation was found to have an antioxicant effect. These results suggested that vitamin E supplementation could alleviate the changes in renal lipid peroxidation.

Flavonoids are class of polyphenolic compounds widely distributed in the plant kingdom, which display a variety of biological activities, including antiviral, antithrombotic, antiinflammatory, antihistaminic, antioxidant and free-radica 1 scavenging abilities. The antioxidant enzyme (AOE) system plays an important role in the defense against oxidative stress insults. To determine whether flavonoid, myricetin can exert antioxidative effects not only directly by modulating the AOE system but also scavenging free radical, we investigated the influence of the flavonoid myricetin on cell viability, different antioxidant enzyme activities, ROS level and the expression of different antioxidant emzyme in B16F10 murine melanoma cells. Myricetin in a concentration range from 6.25 to $50\;{\mu}M$ decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) enzyme activities, but catalase (CAT) activity was increased. In the myricetin-treated group, ROS levels were decreased dose-dependently. Antioxidant enzyme expression was measured by RT-PCR. Myricetin treatment of B16F10 cells increased catalase expression. Expression levels of copper zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZn SOD) were not affected by exposure of myricetin. Manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn SOD) and GPx expression levels decreased slightly after myricetin treatment. In conclusion, the antioxidant capacity of myricetin was due to CAT and free-radical scavenging.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) 고생산세포주로 선발된 카사바 (Manihot esculenta Crantz) 배양세포에 감마선을 처리하여 세포생장과 SOD, peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT)의 항산화효소 활성을 조사하였다. 카사바 캘러스는 계대배양 후 약 15일에 대수증식생장기에 진입한 후 30일에 최대생장을 나타내었으며 계속적인 배양에 따라 생장이 현저히 감소하였다. SOD와 POD의 비활성도 (units/mg protein)는 계대배양 직후에 가장 높았으며 대수증식 초기까지 감소한 후 다시 배양후기까지 증가하였다. CAT 활성은 세포생장과 비례하여 활성변화를 나타내었으며 계대배양 직후와 배양후기에 낮은 활성을 나타내었다. 계대배양 7일째의 카사바 캘러스에 감마선을 처리한 한 결과, 처리 후 14일째 배양세포는 방사선량에 비례하여 세포생장에 크게 영향을 주어 50Gy와 70Gy에서 각각 약 50%와 80%의 생장이 억제되었다. 이 시기의 SOD와 POD는 방사선량에 비례하여 증가하여 70Gy를 조사한 경우 각각 4배, 2.5배 증가하였으나 CAT은 방사선에 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 카사바 캘러스배양에서 계대배양, 배양후기의 세포노화 및 배지내 영양고갈에 따른 배양스트레스는 SOD와 POD에 의해 주로 조절되고 있음이 시사되었다.

이 연구는 비글 견에서 산화스트레스에 대한 서로 다른 마취 방법의 효과를 평가했다. 10마리 견들을 무작위로 medetomidine과 tiletamine/zolazepam(MTZ) combination(그룹 T, 40 ${\mu}g/kg$ medetomidine and 2 mg/kg tiletamine/zolazepam, IM)을 사용한 근육주사 그룹 또는 Isoflurane(그룹 I, 2% isoflurane and 100% oxygen)을 사용한 휘발성 마취 그룹으로 나누었다. Vital sign으로 심박수, 호흡수, 직장체온과 oxidative stress로 superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx)를 측정했다. SOD activity는 두 그룹에서 마취 후 기준 값으로부터 유의성 있게 감소하였다 ($p$ < 0.05). CAT와 GPx activity 또한 마취 후 두 그룹 사이에서 유의성이 있었다 ($p$ < 0.05). CAT activity는 두 그룹에서 마취 후 기준 값으로부터 유의성 있게 감소하였으나, 그룹 I에서는 마취 후 그룹 T의 그것과 비교 시 유의성 있게 높았다 ($p$ < 0.05). 그리고 그룹 T에서 GPx activity는 마취 후 기준 값으로부터 유의성 있 게 감소하였으나, 그룹 I에서는 마취종료 후 1 시간이 되었을 때 그룹 T의 그것과 비교 시 유의성 있게 높았다 ($p$ < 0.05). 결론적으로, 비글 견에서 전신 마취는 산화 스트레스를 유발시키는 경향이 있었으며, isoflurane의 휘발성 마취는 산화 손상을 감소시켰다.

Oxidative stress due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause oxidative damage to cells. Cells have a number of defense mechanisms to protect themselves from the toxicity of ROS. Mitochondria are especially important in the oxidative stress as ROS have been found to be constantly generated as an endogen threat. Mitochondrial defense depends mainly on super-oxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), whereas microsomal defense depends on catalase (CAT), which is an enzyme abundant in microsomes. SOD removes superoxide anions by converting them to $H_2O$$_2$, which can be rapidly converted to water by CAT and GPx. Also, GPx converts hydroperoxide (ROOH) into oxidized-glutathione (GSSG). Ovariectomized (OVX) rats are used as an oxidative stress model. An ovariectomy increased the levels of MDA, one of the end-products in the lipid peroxidative process, and decreased levels of the antioxidative enzymes； SOD, CAT and GPx. However, Chondroitin sulfate (CS) decreased the levels of MDA, but increased the levels of SOD, CAT and GPx in a dose-depen-dent manner. Moreover, inflammation and cirrhosis of liver tissue in CS- treated rats were sig-nificantly decreased. These results suggest that CS might be a potential candidate as an anti oxidative reagent.

Resistance to induction of apoptosis is a major obstacle for bladder cancer treatment. Bcl-2 is thought to be involved in anti-apoptotic signaling. In this study, we investigated the effect of Bcl-2 overexpression on apoptotic resistance and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in bladder cancer cells. A stable Bcl-2 overexpression cell line, BIU87-Bcl-2, was constructed from human bladder cancer cell line BIU87 by transfecting recombinant Bcl-2 [pcDNA3.1(+)-Bcl-2]. The sensitivity of transfected cells to adriamycin (ADR) was assessed by MTT assay. Apoptosis was examined by flow cytometry and acridine orange fluorescence staining. Intracellular ROS was determined using flow cytometry, and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were also investigated by the xanthinoxidase and visible radiation methods using SOD and CAT detection kits. The susceptibility of BIU87-Bcl-2 cells to ADR treatment was significantly decreased as compared with control BIU87 cells. Enhanced expression of Bcl-2 inhibited intracellular ROS generation following ADR treatment. Moreover, the suppression of SOD and CAT activity induced by ADR treatment was blocked in the BIU87-Bcl-2 case but not in their parental cells. The overexpression of Bcl-2 renders human bladder cancer cells resistant to ADR-induced apoptosis and ROS might act as an important secondary messenger in this process.
