Relationship Between Aging and Susceptibility of Erythrocytes to Oxidative Damage: In View of Nutraceutical Interventions

Abstract: Twelve (12) healthy elderly subjects were divided into two groups: (a) those given an antioxidant/NO-modulating fermented papaya preparation (FPP) 9 g/day for 4 weeks, and (b) a placebo group. No protein/lipid distribution in erythrocytes (RBC) membranes was noted among different ages and treatments. Higher RBC concentration of malondialdehyde and nitric oxide synthase were found in the elderly (p < 0.05 versus "young" controls), whereas superoxide dismutase was unaltered. Such abnormalities were prevented by … Show more

“…Scientific literature indicated that liver and kidney damage which is indicative of toxicity of treatment agents ultimately produces inflammation which is measurable through the haematology indices (Marrota et al 2006). The current study revealed no effect of dietary cabbage on the haematological parameters as measured here, and this showed the data point on the safety of cabbage and its potential utility as a non-conventional feedstuff for poultry.…”

“…Induction of p47phox phosphorylation as well as upregulation of Rac2 transcription emerged as two potential underlying mechanisms. Because FPP has a long track-record of safe human consumption (1,(27)(28)(29)44) and has proved to be beneficial in influencing wound healing outcomes (15), findings of this study lay a strong rationale for the design of phase-II clinical trial testing the effects of FPP supplementation on wound infection outcomes of type II diabetes mellitus patients suffering from chronic wounds.…”

“…Fermented papaya preparation (FPP), a granular substance, is available over the counter (32). FPP possesses antioxidant properties (3,11,22,35) that provide benefit against age-related complications (27). FPP is also known to protect red blood cells against oxidative damage (27,28) and help against severe forms of thalassemia (1).…”

“…Normal erythrocyte function depends on integrity of the erythrocyte membrane, which is a target for numerous toxic prooxidant factors, including chronic hyperglycemia (22,30). Erythrocyte membrane is among the main targets for oxygen radicals or peroxides as it contains both polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which are the most susceptible substrate for lipid peroxidation as well as prooxidant catalysts such as Fe 2+ and hemoproteins (23,33).…”
