Oxidative Stress and Its Relationship With Adenosine Deaminase Activity in Various Stag... - 0 views

  • Reduced SOD activity might be responsible for excessive accumulation of superoxide anions leading to increased free radical mediated injury. Increased free radical production has been shown to be responsible for chromosomal damage leading to mutagenecity, cell proliferation and carcinogenesis. SOD activity showed marked improvement after mastectomy indicating the lowering of oxidative stress.
  • The increased production of reactive oxygen species causes oxidative stress leading to cell proliferation and hence increased inflammatory conditions
  • Superoxide dismutase is an important antioxidant enzyme which decomposes the harmful superoxide anions into hydrogen peroxide thus protects the body from the action of free radicals

  • Females suffering from breast cancer had significantly decreased Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in comparison to normal females
  • ADA seems to be a promising marker of inflammation in breast cancer thereby suggesting that it can be used as a diagnostic tool to detect the stage of breast cancer along with cytopathological studies
  • In conclusion, our study confirmed the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.
  • Another potent antioxidant molecule is reduced glutathione. It acts as reductant which converts hydrogen peroxide into water and reduces lipid peroxidation products into their corresponding alcohols and thus mediates protective action.
  • In the present study, significantly low SOD activity has been observed in female patients suffering from carcinoma breast both pre as well as post operative in comparison to healthy females.
  • We observed significantly decreased SOD activity and GSH levels in patients belonging to clinical stage 4 as compared to those having stages 1, 2 or 3 of breast cancer.
  • Increased ADA activity in breast cancer patients has also been reported
  • The compromised antioxidant defence system produces the oxidative stress which in turn creates the inflammatory response shown by concomitant increased adenosine deaminase (ADA) activity in female patients.
  • Experimental and epidemiological evidences implicate the involvement of oxygen derived free radical in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.
  • Antioxidant status was highly depressed in advanced stages of breast cancer as compared to initial stage.
  • In the present study, significantly low GSH levels were observed in female patients of carcinoma breast as compared to normal females
  • Walia et al. (1995) reported increased ADA activity in breast cancer patients as compared to age matched normal subjects.
  • These free radicals are able to cause damage to membrane, mitochondria and macromolecules including proteins, lipids and DNA and actively take part in cell proliferation. This cascade in turn generates the inflammatory response and causes the progression of the disease.
  • increased oxidative stress gives rise to inflammation which could further aggravates the disease
  • Breast carcinoma involves a cascade of events that are highly inflammatory.
  • Marked oxidative stress in stage 4 of breast cancer indicated advancement of the disease, hence checking oxidative stress at initial stage could be helpful for controlling the progression of the disease.
  • They concluded that ADA is a better probable parameter for detection of breast cancer
  • Adenosine deaminase enzyme (ADA) catalyzes the conversion of adenosine to inosine which finally gets converted to uric acid
  • serum ADA activity tends to increase with advancing age,
  • Prevalence of oxidative stress gives rise to inflammation.
  •  
    Study finds a reduction in SuperOxide Dismutase and Glutathione Perioxidase in advancing breast cancer.  Cancer is a high oxidative stress disease that results in inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and proliferation.  Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) is proposed to be another biomarker to assess tumor stage.

  •  
    Animal study finds that Bisphenol A exposure in utero has profound different effects in male offspring versus female offspring.  In the male offspring there appears to be an up regulation of the HPA axis.  The opposite appears true in the female off spring.  Additionally, the receptors are effected differently as well.

The implication of neuroactive steroids in Tourette syndrome pathogenesis: a ... - 0 views

  • The typical onset of TS occurs at 6–7 years of age and is characterized by the appearance of simple, recurrent motor tics, followed by the manifestation of phonic tics after several months [12]. In most children, TS symptoms undergo a progressive exacerbation, which reaches its zenith at the beginning of puberty (11–12 years of age), and is then followed by a gradual remission in the majority of patients
  • 30–40% of TS-affected children retain their symptoms in adulthood
  • Multiple neurotransmitters have been implicated in TS, including dopamine (DA), serotonin, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, glutamate and γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA)
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • female gender may predict greater tic severity in adulthood
  • male gender is a major risk factor for TS (with a male:female prevalence ratio estimated at ~4:1)
  • the typical age of onset coincides with adrenarche (6–7 years old); symptoms increase in severity until the beginning of puberty (12 years old) and then undergo a spontaneous amelioration, which becomes apparent with the end of puberty (at 18–19 years of age)
  • TS is diagnosed later in females than males
  • ample evidence supports the involvement of DAergic dysfunctions in TS
  • a number of clinical observations showed that tics in TS patients could be exacerbated by anabolic androgens
  • steroidogenic enzymes and androgen receptors may serve as putative therapeutic targets for this disorder
  • Unlike males, tic severity is typically increased after puberty in females
  • 26% of females were found to experience exacerbation of tics in the estrogenic phase of the menstrual cycle, and this phenomenon was found to be correlated with increased tic severity at menarche
  • biochemical hallmark of adrenarche is the acquisition of 17,20 lyase activity by cytochrome P450 C17 (CYP17A1)
  • increased synthesis of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione, which leads to the growth of axillary and pubic hair as well as enhancement in the oiliness of the skin
  •  
    interesting read on hormones and tourette's.. Proposed that 5 alpha reductase activity is involved in worsening of tics.  This makes sense as Testosterone in men with low T is known to increase dopamine and dopaminergic dysfunction is known to play a role in tourette's;  the clinical presentation of girls vs boys is very different.  The authors of this article propose that 5 alpha reductase activity controls a back door method where by progesterone is converted to androgens.

Testosterone: More Than Having the Guts to Win the Tour de France - 0 views

  • female adult mice have microbiomes similar to those of prepubescent mice of both sexes;
  • the commensal microbial community in adult male mice significantly deviates from this shared initial pool.
  • the microbiome in castrated adult males clearly shifts away from that of normal adult males and is closer to the microbiome of females
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • The incidence of T1D in these mice is positively correlated with the “femaleness” of the microbiota
  • These results support the hypothesis that the host androgen level is influential in determining the composition of the microbiota, which in turn affects T1D initiation and progression
  • a high testosterone level enriches the microbiota for specific organisms such as segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) and Escherichia coli or Shigella–like (SECS) strains.
  • A minimum level of testosterone and specific male-enriched microbes working together upregulate M2 macrophage and IFN-γ producing T cells in pancreatic lymph nodes. Microarray data show that both the IFN-γ and IL-1β pathways are also stimulated.
  • These microbes also upregulate host testosterone
  • In four independent experiments, the authors found no universal unique “male microbiome”
  • they did find that four distinct combinations of microbial groupings (with an interesting lack of overlap at the individual family level in the four experiments) were enhanced by androgen
  • one species consists of the segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) and belongs to the Firmicutes, whereas the other is an Escherichia coli or Shigella–like (SECS) strain belonging to the Proteobacteria
  • colonization with protective microbiomes—e.g., SPF microbiota, SFB, and SECS—is positively correlated with high blood testosterone levels in male mice
  • A direct implication of this study is that probiotic administration or fecal transplantation is a theoretically possible approach to protection against T1D
