DNA fragmentation, antioxidant activity and histological structure of cryopreserved testicular tissue depending on sexual maturity and immunological status
The objective of this work was to determine a relationship between a frequency of DNA fragmentation, a level of antioxidant activity and a preservation of histological structure depending on initial status of fragments of seminiferous tubules of testes (FSTT) of rats at the stages of cryopreservation. FSTT of animals of different ages (immature, mature), as well as animals with changed immunological status (adjuvant arthritis) were cryopreserved. Slow uncontrolled freezing was used in a cryomedium of fibrin gel with 0.7 M glycerol. The results showed that viability, TAS, γGGT and G6PD activities had the highest values in ...

Impact of caloric restriction on oxidative stress and key glycolytic enzymes in the cerebral cortex, liver and kidney of old and middle-aged mice
In this study, we examined effects of aging and CR on the activities of glycolytic enzymes and parameters of oxidative stress in the cerebral cortex, liver, and kidney of middle-aged (9 months old) and old (18 months old) C57BL6/N mice. Control middle-aged and old mice were fed ad libitum (AL groups), whereas age-matched CR groups were subjected to CR (70% of individual ad libitum food intake) for 6 and 12 months, respectively. There were no significant differences in the activities of key glycolytic and antioxidant enzymes and oxidative stress indices between the cortices of middle-aged and old AL mice. The livers and kid...

Glucose-6-Phosphatase-Dehydrogenase activity as modulative association between Parkinson ’s disease and periodontitis
This study aimed to evaluate these associations in periodontal inflammation. Clinical data and saliva-, serum-, and RNA-biobank samples of 50 well-characterized diametric patients with PK and five age- and sex-matched neurologically healthy participants were analyzed for G6PD function, periodontal pathogens (Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, Prevotella intermedia, Campylobacter rectus, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Filifactor alocis), monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP) 1, and interleukin (IL) 1-beta. Regression analysis was used to identify associ...

Late ‐onset aspirin‐related hemolysis and subsequent subdural hemorrhage in patient with glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
Key Clinical MessageAspirin-related hemolysis in G6PD deficiency could be late-onset during long-term administration. Hemolytic anemia could continue for a relatively long time in elder patient with G6PD deficiency, which might be related to other adverse events.AbstractAspirin-related hemolysis in G6PD-deficient individuals was generally reported among patients who received high-dose supplements within several days after ingestion. The safety of long-term and low-dose (50 –325 mg/day) aspirin in patients coexist G6PD deficiency and cardiovascular disease is neglected in clinical practice. In this case, we observed a l...

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 186: Comparison of Growth Performance, Carcass Properties, Fatty Acid Profile, and Genes Involved in Fat Metabolism in Nanyang and Landrace Pigs
This study compared the growth, carcass properties, fatty acid profile, lipid-producing enzyme activity, and expression pattern of genes involved in fat metabolism in Nanyang and Landrace pigs. In the study, 32 Nanyang (22.16 ± 0.59 kg) and 32 Landrace barrows (21.37 ± 0.57 kg) were selected and divided into two groups, each with eight pens and four pigs per pen. The trial period lasted 90 days. The findings showed that the Nanyang pigs had lower average daily weight gain and lean percentage and higher average backfat thickness and lipogenic enzyme activities, including for acetyl-CoA carboxyl...

GSE253613 Effect of G6PD loss on gene expression in LKB1 deficient KRAS-driven lung tumor
This study delves into the repercussions of G6PD ablation on the development of lung tumors driven by the KRAS oncogene and deficient in LKB1 (KL). The research involved comparing the growth of KL lung tumors with or without G6PD, revealing a significant inhibition of KL lung tumor growth upon G6PD loss. Subsequently, RNA-seq analysis was employed to identify the alterations in gene expression following G6PD deletion, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms.

Metabolic remodeling of visceral and subcutaneous white adipose tissue during reacclimation of rats after cold
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Deciphering lipid metabolism in white adipose tissue (WAT) depots during weight gain is important to understand the heterogeneity of WAT and its roles in obesity. Here, we examined the expression of key enzymes of lipid metabolism and changes in the morphology of representative visceral (epididymal) and subcutaneous (inguinal) WAT (eWAT and iWAT, respectively)-in adult male rats acclimated to cold (4 ± 1 °C) for 45 days and reacclimated to room temperature (RT, 22 ± 1 °C) for 1, 3, 7, 12, 21, or 45 days. The relative mass of both depots decreased to a sim...
