“…MDA is the breakdown product of the major chain reactions leading to the oxidation of PUFA, and thus, serves as a reliable marker of oxidative stress-mediated lipid peroxidation. [32] Measurement of SOD provides information about the antioxidant capacity of the organism. [33] Although it is difficult to limit the primary injury, there is increasing evidence of the possibility of lowering the impact of the secondary injury, using pharmacological strategies.…”

AMAÇBu deneysel çalışma, sıçanlarda spinal kord yaralanmasın-da curcuminin antioksidan etki yoluyla faydasını araştır-mak için yapıldı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMYirmi dört adet Wistar albino sıçan 3 gruba randomize edildi. Spinal kord yaralanması ağırlık düşürme modeliyle gerçekleştirildi. Grup 1'e laminektomi ardından spinal kord yaralanması uygulandı ve herhangi bir tedavi verilmedi. Grup 2'ye laminektomi ardından spinal kord yaralanması uygulandı ve curcumin verildi (200 mg/kg/gün ağızdan). Grup 3'e laminektomi ardından spinal kord yaralanması uygulandı ve metilprednizolon verildi (30 mg/kg periton içine), 24 saat sonra tüm sıçanlardan kan örnekleri alındı, sonra serum süperoksit dismutaz (SOD) ve malondialdehit (MDA) düzeyleri belirlendi ve elde edilen sonuçlar karşılaştırıldı. BULGULARCurcumin grubunda SOD düzeyi kontrol ve metilprednizolon grubundan daha yüksekti (p<0,001 ve p<0,012). Curcumin grubunda MDA düzeyi kontrol grubundan daha düşüktü (p<0,042). Benzer şekilde metilprednizolon grubunda MDA düzeyi kontrol grubundan daha düşüktü (p<0,001). SONUÇBu çalışmanın sonuçları curcuminin etkin biçimde oksidatif hasara karşı spinal kord dokularını koruduğunu gös-terir.Anahtar Sözcükler: Antioksidan; curcumin; malondialdehit; spinal kord yaralanması; süperoksit dismutaz.

“…Various in vitro studies using animal models have consistently demonstrated oxidative stress in different tissues (kidney, endometrium, eye, testis, brain, myocardial tissue and so on) in response to cell phone radiation. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] These studies have also shown potential beneficial effects of antioxidants, such as melatonin, vitamin C and vitamin E, on oxidative stress status induced by RF-EMW in animals. However, results of animal studies related to the effects of cell phone radiation on reproductive functions are conflicting.…”

Mobile phones usage has seen an exponential growth recently. With this increasing demand, the amount of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposed is also increasing. Hence, we studied the effect of these radiations on ejaculated human semen and speculate the contribution of these harmful radiations in male infertility. Samples exposed to EMR showed a significant decrease in sperm motility and viability, increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA fragmentation index (DFI) compared to unexposed group. We concluded that mobile phones emit electromagnetic waves which lead to oxidative stress in human semen and also cause changes in DNA fragmentation. We extrapolate these findings to speculate that these radiations may negatively affect spermatozoa and impair male fertility.

“…Regarding lens tissue, MDA levels SOD activity and glutathione peroxidase activity (GSH-Px -the enzyme protecting cell from oxidative damage) were found to increase, as compared to the control group. The authors suppose that results of this study suggest that computer monitor radiation leads to oxidative stress in the corneal and lens tissues, and that vitamin C may prevent oxidative effects in the lens [57].…”
