Article Abstract
Objective: Stress can stimulate increased production of oxygen radicals. We investigated the correlations between serum levels of lipid peroxidation markers and those in brain samples in different stress models.
Methods: Animals (n = 96) were divided equally into eight groups: a control group and groups treated with vitamin E (Vit E); exposed to immobilisation stress; exposed to immobilisation stress and treated with Vit E; exposed to cold stress; exposed to cold stress and treated with Vit E; exposed to both immobilisation and cold stress; and a final group exposed to both immobilisation and cold stress and treated with Vit E. Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) in brain samples and levels of TBARS, corticosterone, conjugated dienes (CD), lipids, and paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity in serum were analysed.
Results: Serum corticosterone (p < 0.001), CD (p < 0.05), lipid (p < 0.05) levels, and brain TBARS (p < 0.05) levels were significantly higher in all stress groups than in controls, and the elevated levels were reversed in the Vit E-treated stress groups (p < 0.05). Serum PON1 activity was not different among the groups (p > 0.05). Serum TBARS levels increased significantly in all stress groups (p < 0.05), but this elevation was only reversed in the group exposed to both immobilisation and cold stress and treated with Vit E (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: These results suggest that serum levels of lipid peroxidation markers can be determined readily and may be useful as indicators to evaluate the effects of oxidative stress in the brain.

Despite the promise of electrochemical biosensors in amplified nucleic acid diagnostics, existing high-sensitivity platforms often rely on a multilayer surface assembly and cascade amplification confined to the electrode interface. These stepwise strategies suffer from inefficient enzyme activity, poor mass transport, and inconsistent probe orientation, which compromise the amplification efficiency, reproducibility, and practical applicability. To address these limitations, we report a programmable dual-phase electrochemical biosensing system that decouples amplification from signal transduction.

The appearance of long-lasting behavioral alterations is considered critical for the characterization of acute stressors as putative animal models of PTSD. However, the traumatic nature of the different stressors used is objectively difficult to demonstrate and literature is plagued by inconsistent results. In the present study we wanted to demonstrate the relevance of qualitative aspects of stressors not linked to their severity (as evaluated by classical biological markers) and how the use of different mouse or rat strains can contribute to the inconsistencies.

At present, a novel herbal regimen targeting anti-insomnia, anti-anxiety, cognitive performance, and anti-depression effects is required due to the limitations of the current therapy. Based on the crucial role of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of stress-related brain disorders, it was hypothesized that the functional ingredient derived from mulberry leaves and butterfly pea flowers, which exhibits potent antioxidant activity, should protect against the disorders just mentioned. Male Wistar rats (180-200 g) were orally administered at doses of 125, 250, and 500 mg/kg BW once daily, 45 min before exposure to a 6-h immobilization stress for 14 days.

Pulldown experiments isolate molecular interactions using a "bait" molecule on solid supports, often leveraging the biotin-streptavidin system. Here, a streamlined workflow is described, which employs biotinylated inositol phosphate (InsPs) and inositol pyrophosphate (PP-InsP) probes to enrich target proteins from complex proteomes. The reagents are first immobilized onto streptavidin-coated beads, then exposed to cell lysates, and subsequently washed to remove nonspecific interactions.

Dengue is a significant public health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions, due to its potential severity and widespread impact. Nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) serves as a crucial biomarker for the early and rapid detection of dengue virus infection. This study introduces an electrochemical sensor utilizing an epitope imprinting approach with molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) nanoparticles to detect dengue NS1.
