The role of nutrition and oxidative stress as aging factors in < em > Caenorhabditis elegans < /em >
J Clin Biochem Nutr. 2023 Nov;73(3):173-177. doi: 10.3164/jcbn.23-44. Epub 2023 Jul 6.ABSTRACTThe molecular mechanism of aging, which has been a "black box" for many years, has been elucidated in recent years, and the nematode C. elegans, which is a model animal for aging research, has played a major role in its elucidation. From the analysis of C. elegans longevity-related mutant genes, many signal transduction systems, with the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signal transduction system at the core, have emerged. It has become clear that this signal transduction system is greatly affected by external nutrients and is i...

Association between reactive oxygen species production in neutrophils and liver fibrosis in the general population
J Clin Biochem Nutr. 2023 Nov;73(3):214-220. doi: 10.3164/jcbn.23-46. Epub 2023 Jul 25.ABSTRACTFibrosis, induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in neutrophils, has harmful effects on the liver and various other organs. However, little is known about the association between liver fibrosis and ROS levels in neutrophils in the general population. This large-scale epidemiological study aimed to determine the association between liver fibrosis and neutrophil-generated ROS levels according to age and sex in the general population. This cross-sectional study included 1,000 participants from a district health promotio...

Association of lysophosphatidic acid molecules with liver fibrosis: different roles indicated
In conclusion, the degree of association varied among the different LPA molecule chemical forms, suggesting different pathophysiological roles of individual LPA molecules, although total LPA concentration was shown to be associated with liver fibrosis.PMID:37970549 | PMC:PMC10636581 | DOI:10.3164/jcbn.23-58 (Source: Clinical Biochemistry)

Humoral and cellular factors inhibit phosphate-induced vascular calcification during the growth period
J Clin Biochem Nutr. 2023 Nov;73(3):198-204. doi: 10.3164/jcbn.23-11. Epub 2023 Jun 28.ABSTRACTHyperphosphatemia is an independent and non-classical risk factor of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Increased levels of extracellular inorganic phosphate (Pi) are known to directly induce vascular calcification, but the detailed underlying mechanism has not been clarified. Although serum Pi levels during the growth period are as high as those observed in hyperphosphatemia in adult CKD, vascular calcification does not usually occur during growth. Here, we have examined whether t...

Inhibition of ALA dehydratase activity in heme biosynthesis reduces cytoglobin expression which is related to the proliferation and viability of keloid fibroblasts
In conclusion, the use of succinyl acetone at a concentration of 1; 2.5; and 5 mM caused decrease ALAD enzyme activity which indicated the inhibition of the heme synthesis. Inhibition of heme synthesis can affect cytoglobin expression, which correlates with the viability and proliferation of keloid fibroblasts.PMID:37970551 | PMC:PMC10636574 | DOI:10.3164/jcbn.23-25 (Source: Clinical Biochemistry)

Combined fructose and sucrose consumption from an early age aggravates cardiac oxidative damage and causes a dilated cardiomyopathy in SHR rats
J Clin Biochem Nutr. 2023 Nov;73(3):205-213. doi: 10.3164/jcbn.23-2. Epub 2023 Aug 9.ABSTRACTObesity increases the risk of arterial hypertension in young adults and favors an early-onset cardiomyopathy by generating oxidative stress. In this sense, indiscriminate consumption of sucrose and fructose sweetened beverages from early ages causes obesity, however its consequences on the heart when there is a genetic predisposition to develop hypertension are not clear. We compared the effects of sucrose, fructose, and their combination in weanling male spontaneously hypertensive rats to determine the relationship between genetic...

The significance of CDT1 expression in non-cancerous and cancerous liver in cases with hepatocellular carcinoma
This study aimed to clarify the clinical significance or pathogenesis of CDT1 expression in both non-cancerous and cancerous liver in HCC cases, including previously published data. We investigated the association between the expression of CDT1 in non-cancerous or cancerous liver tissues and histologic findings or biochemical examination results in 62 cases. We also examined the dual localization between CDT1 and FbxW7, P57kip2, P53 and c-Myc by confocal laser scanning microscopy. CDT1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in cancerous liver than in non-cancerous liver (p<0.0001). Elevated CDT1 mRNA expression indica...

Epub 2023 Aug 18.ABSTRACTClinical studies had found that hydrogen/oxygen mixed inhalation was beneficial to ameliorate the respiratory symptoms in the adjuvant treatment of patients with COVID-19. We aimed to explore the efficacy of hydrogen/oxygen therapy in favoring the recovery of Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant infection. There were 64 patients who randomly assigned to receive hydrogen/oxygen inhalation (32 patients) and oxygen inhalation (32 patients). The average shedding duration of Omicron in hydrogen/oxygen group was shorter than oxygen group. The tr...
