Age-Related Correlation Between Antioxidant Enzymes and DNA Damage With Smoking and Body Mass Index

Abstract: To understand whether oxidants contribute to the initiation and/or promulgation toward aging, the present study has been undertaken on 220 healthy male volunteers aged 20-80 years selected from the defined electoral area (suburbs of Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India) to evaluate the concentrations of free radicals (superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide), lymphocyte antioxidant enzymes (glutathione S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, catalase), and DNA damage in relation to obesity and smoking (lifestyles). A two … Show more

“…Lipid peroxidation (oxidative injury marker), represented by malonaldehyde (MDA), is significantly correlated with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (4). Our data shows that, regardless of cigarette smoke exposure, obesity tended to increase levels of MDA and decrease SOD activity, classic signs of biological oxidative stress that occurs because the first antioxidant barrier (SOD) does not remove adequate serum reactive oxygen species (31,32). However, Seiva et al (33) showed that obese young male rats exposed to cigarette smoke presented increased SOD, GSH-Px and catalase enzymatic activities as a compensatory mechanism in response to cellular injury.…”

“…Generation of free radicals and antioxidant capacity of the body have been observed to be modulated by environmental, physiological and nutritional factors [31] , [44] . For example, physiological factors such as aging, alteration of body mass index and obesity and life style confounding factors such as smoking, drinking and high calorie diet have enhancing effect on oxidative stress and suppressive effect on antioxidants [44] , [48] , [49] .…”

“…Cumulating studies reported oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in smokers in cell culture ( 8 , 22 ). Reddy Thavanati et al ( 29 ) found that lymphocyte DNA damage in smokers was twofold higher than that in non-smokers and this result was associated with a reduced antioxidant capacity in smokers. In the present study, smokers and non-smokers did not show any significant difference in lymphocyte apoptosis at rest, however, smokers showed higher lymphocyte apoptosis immediately after the run at 60% VO 2max ( p <.008) and the run at 70% VO 2max ( p <.018).…”

“…Cigarettes contain more than 6,000 components, and many factors can induce DNA damage and oxidative stress in a diversity of cell types ( 6 , 17 , 18 ), which refers to a disturbance in the oxidant and antioxidant balance resulting in potential cell damage ( 2 , 22 , 29 ). In response to oxidative stress by smoking, pro-inflammatory mediators and cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-8 can activate the transcription factors such as activator protein-1 and NF-κB, and finally can induce apoptosis ( 2 , 8 ).…”
