Silica is the second most common element after oxygen, and therefore, exposures to crystalline silica dust occur in a large variety of occupations such as metal foundries, constructions, and ceramic, quarry, and pottery industries. Since crystalline silica exposure has been linked with silicosis, lu …
Many foreign compounds ('xenobiotics') induce oxidative stress and are, or can form, electrophiles — agents that react with sites of high electron density on proteins, DNA or lipids (an ...
Oxidative stress occurs due to an imbalance between the production and elimination of free radicals under pathological conditions. Oxidative stress is also associated with ageing. ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of stone quarrying in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) on the Libyan jird Meriones libycus. Soil samples and jirds were …
These systems are located in a dynamic equilibrium state under normal physiological conditions, while the body antioxidant system could be unbalanced and lead to oxidative stress in pathological states. Oxidative stress is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases, including cancer. Therefore, FRs …
To protect the health of their workers dust needs to be removed from the critical area of the factory and with the use of industrial masks. [Khaled S Al Salhen. Assessment Of Oxidative Stress, Haematological, Kidney And Liver Function Parameters Of Libyan Cement Factory Workers. J Am Sci 2014;10(5):58-65].
Guanine is the most susceptible nucleic base to oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species. 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) levels is a convenient marker of oxidative DNA damage and cellular oxidative stress (Pilger and Rüdiger, 2006). Reactive oxygen species may also cause lipid peroxidation by attacking …
Introduction. Thirty-five years ago, when Sies and Cadenas 1 in their landmark paper "Oxidative stress: damage to intact cells and organs" first introduced the terminology of oxidative stress, few people realized the impact of this contribution, while the definition was still a rather vague one. During the past several decades, free radical …
Oxidative stress is two sided: Whereas excessive oxidant challenge causes damage to biomolecules, maintenance of a physiological level of oxidant challenge, termed oxidative eustress, is essential for governing life processes through redox signaling. Recent interest has focused on the intricate ways by which redox signaling integrates …
In a recent work it was seen that in healthy middle-aged and older adults, who were sedentary or moderately physically active, 12 weeks of curcumin supplementation improves artery endothelial function by increasing vascular nitric oxide bioavailability and reducing oxidative stress . Moreover, it was seen that an active metabolite of curcumin ...
When oxidative stress occurs, cells attempt to counteract the oxidant effects and restore the redox balance by activation or silencing of genes encoding defensive enzymes, transcription factors, and structural proteins.101,102 Ratio between oxidized and reduced glutathione (2GSH/GSSG) is one of the important determinants of oxidative …
The possible beneficial role of selenium (Se) on the oxidative stress induced by lead (Pb) is still unclear in humans. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to explore the associations among ...
Data demonstrated a significant decrease in levels of GSH and activities of , SOD, and GPx, but a significant increase in MDA levels and activity of GR in all …
Redox imbalance in age-related diseases. In the last few decades, several models have been suggested to define the interconnection and the biological pathways of aging (Dice, 1993).The widely accepted theory is the "oxidative stress hypothesis" (Ghezzi et al., 2017) that advanced and modified the free radical theory of aging (Harman, …
Both the SiO 2 -and TiO 2 -exposed workers showed increased oxidative stress, as assessed by urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8− OHdG), and increased levels of 8-isoprostane in the exhaled ...
Abiotic stress factors, encompassing drought [1,2], salinity [3,4], extreme temperatures [5], and heavy metals [6], profoundly impact plant growth and development, disrupting cellular homeostasis ...
GRIGOROV B., et al. Trakia Journal of Sciences, Vol. 12, № 3, 2014 239 superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The levels of "real time" biomarkers of oxidative stress such as ascorbate radicals (Asc .) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) products were also studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. MATERIALS AND …
Background: Workers in the ceramics industry are often exposed to silica content which is unwittingly inhaled and deposited in the lungs. Macrophages will release Interleukin 8 (IL-8), a chemoattractant that causes neutrophil recruitment to the alveoli and releases proteolytic enzymes that damage the lung parenchyma and cause a decrease in lung function.
Introduction. It is estimated that 3.6 million workers in the European Union are exposed to wood dust [1–3].Furniture makers, cabinet makers, carpenters, and veneer/plywood production workers are exposed to wood dust [4, 5].Wood dust is classified into three categories: total, inhalable and respirable dust [].The particles with a mass …
