Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer: Assessing the Systemic Burden of the Disease.

The emergence of systemic therapies and photoprotection against non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) raises questions on the broader systematic impact of the disease. Personalized medicine involves a holistic patient approach, through which the evaluation of systemic biomarkers can reveal the interconnected aspects of patient health and tailored therapies. Cumulative UV exposure disrupts redox equilibrium and triggers inflammation and cutaneous immunosuppression, processes that contribute independently or via their interplay to cutaneous carcinogenesis.

Development of a Holistic In Vitro Cell-Free Approach to Determine the Redox Bioactivity of Agricultural Products.

In recent years, there has been a strong consumer demand for food products that provide nutritional benefits to human health. Therefore, the assessment of the biological activity is considered as an important parameter for the promotion of high-quality food products. Herein, we introduce a novel methodology comprising a complete set of in vitro cell-free screening techniques for the evaluation of the bioactivity of various food products on the basis of their antioxidant capacity.

Evaluation of perinatal exposure of glyphosate and its mixture with 2,4-D and dicamba οn liver redox status in Wistar rats.

Wide-scale emergence of glyphosate-resistant weeds has led to an increase in the simultaneous application of herbicide mixtures exacerbated by the introduction of crops tolerant to glyphosate plus dicamba or glyphosate plus 2,4-D. This raises serious concerns regarding the environmental and health risks resulting from increased exposure to a mixture of herbicide active ingredients. We evaluated hepatotoxic effects following perinatal exposure to glyphosate alone or in combination with 2,4-D and dicamba from gestational day-6 until adulthood in Wistar rats.

Determination of Redox Status in Different Tissues of Lambs and Kids and Their in-between Relationship.

The objective of this study was to assess the resting values of the physiological oxidative stress exhibited by lambs and kids reared in Greece, and the potential correlations between redox biomarker levels in blood and other tissues (liver, diaphragm, quadriceps, psoas major muscle). For this purpose, lambs and kids at different developmental stages (d.s.

Redox Biomarker Baseline Levels in Cattle Tissues and Their Relationships with Meat Quality.

Cattle breeds or crossbreds with high productivity traits have been developed to meet a growing demand for food. When intensive farming practices are followed, animals face several challenges which can result in poor performance, compromised welfare and the reduced quality of their products. Our study aims to highlight the resting values of the physiological oxidative stress that three cattle breeds exhibit, and their potential relationship with meat quality.
