Article Abstract
Nitrosative stress has various pathophysiological implications. We here present a detailed characterization on the effect of nitrosative stress in Saccharomyces cerevisiae wild-type (Y190) and its isogenic flavohemoglobin mutant (Deltayhb1) strain grown in presence of non fermentable carbon source. On addition of sub-toxic dose of nitrosating agent both the strains showed microbiostatic effect. Cellular respiration was found to be significantly affected in both the strains in presence sodium nitroprusside. Although there was no alteration in mitochondrial permeability potential changes and reactive oxygen species production in both the strains but the cellular redox status is differentially regulated in Deltayhb1 strain both in cytosol and in mitochondria indicating cellular glutathione is the major player in absence of flavohemoglobin. We also found important role(s) of various redox active enzymes like glutathione reductase and catalase in protection against nitrosative stress. This is the first report of its kind where the effect of nitrosative stress has been evaluated in S. cerevisiae cytosol as well as in mitochondria under respiratory proficient conditions.

Early retinal changes in type 2 diabetes detected by texture-based OCT analysis: potential approach for subclinical diabetic retinopathy diagnosis.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is often diagnosed many years after diabetes onset, highlighting the need for early diagnosis. The current study aimed to assess whether texture analysis of computed optical coherence tomography (OCT) retinal images can identify (very) early retinal changes. We previously reported retinal texture changes in a type 1 diabetes animal model.

Heart ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) significantly contributes to cardiac damage through oxidative and nitrosative stress, where the dysregulation of nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and the subsequent activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are observed. Klotho is a multifunctional protein crucial in ageing, metabolism, and ion homeostasis. It has been confirmed that Klotho serves as a critical protective factor across multiple biological systems, with its roles in neuroprotection, cardiovascular health, and renal function being particularly noteworthy.

Depression is a highly prevalent neuropsychiatric disorder globally, and its increasing incidence is thought to be mediated by the growing exposure to stressful life events and conditions. is widely used in traditional medicine to treat fever, pain, epilepsy, and depression. This study aimed at evaluating the antidepressant effect of aqueous extract (CF) using the chronic physical restriction stress (CRS) model on male and female rats.

Fine particulate matter (PM) exposure increases the cardiometabolic disease risk. While there is extensive research on how PM impairs cardiometabolic health in male mice, its health impact is largely unexplored in females. To examine PM-induced cardiometabolic effects in females, female and male mice (n = 10/group) on a regular (12 h:12 h, RLC) or disturbed (18 h:6 h, DLC) light-dark cycle were exposed to concentrated ambient PM (CAP) for 30 days.

Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract. In addition to treatments aimed at healing inflammation and tissue damage, addressing redox imbalance and mitochondrial dysfunction is crucial. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA), either alone or in combination with mesalamine, on oxidative/nitrosative stress, mitochondrial dynamics, and histopathological changes in a rat model of ulcerative colitis.
