Silicosis, a common type of pneumoconiosis, is an occupational lung disease caused by inhalation of silica dust often with mining activity and thus reaches the miners. The fine and ultrafine silica particles deposited in the alveolar epithelium may lead to the development of progressive massive fibrosis. An increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production has been proposed to explain the mechanism for induction of pulmonary fibrosis in silicosis. In this situation, alveolar macrophages are activated to phagocytes silica particles deposited in the alveoli. The activated macrophages secrete large amounts of ROS that in turn induce synthesis of fibrotic factors. In addition, the activity of antioxidant enzymes is impaired, which results in increased lipid peroxidation, as well as generating a local inflammatory process. Diffuse pulmonary fibrosis progresses with interstitial collagen deposition. Interstitial collagen overlies small pulmonary arteries and arterioles and thus it is associated with pulmonary hypertension in pulmonary fibrotic diseases. In addition, cytokines and silica particles passing through the respiratory membrane can reach the bloodstream. In this context, the increase in the generation of ROS in the circulation may lead to a reduction in the bioavailability of nitric oxide, an important endothelium-derived relaxing factor. A deficiency in the nitric oxide bioavailability can result in vascular endothelial dysfunction. Moreover, pro-inflammatory cytokines could contribute to the impairment of endothelial function. In the airways, pro-inflammatory cytokines can reduce the smooth muscle responsiveness to β- adrenergic agonists as isoproterenol. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of silica dust instillation in the function of the pulmonary artery, aorta and trachea of rats with acute silicosis. For this purpose, male Wistar rats were anesthetized... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Estudos clínicos e experimentais têm mostrado que o suco de laranja apresenta propriedades antioxidantes que estão associadas com a redução do risco para doenças cardiovasculares e alguns tipos de câncer. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o efeito antioxidante e anti-peroxidação lipídica após a ingestão aguda dos sucos de laranja fresco, pasteurizado e da bebida controle no soro sanguíneo de voluntários eutróficos e com excesso de peso. A avaliação da capacidade antioxidante no soro sanguíneo foi feita pelo método ABTS e a peroxidação lipídica, pela presença de substâncias reativas ao ácido tiobarbitúrico (TBARS). Os voluntários ingeriram a quantidade de 5mL/kg de peso corporal de suco fresco, pasteurizado e da bebida controle. Após o período experimental foi observado um aumento do teor de substâncias antioxidantes (ABTS) e uma redução da peroxidação lipídica (TBARS) no soro, mostrando que os sucos de laranja, fresco e pasteurizado, tiveram efeito protetor contra o estresse oxidativo, sugerindo que o processamento dos sucos não comprometeu os compostos com atividade anti-oxidativa e anti-peroxidação lipídica responsáveis pela redução do estresse oxidativo. Além disso, não houve diferença nas variáveis analisadas (TBARS e ABTS) entre os indivíduos eutróficos e com excesso de peso. Concluiu-se que a ingestão aguda do suco de laranja fresco e pasteurizado promoveu um efeito protetor contra o estresse oxidativo em indivíduos eutróficos e naqueles com excesso de peso.

Evaluation of predictive factors for oxidative stress in healthy people. This study aimed to evaluate the inÀuence of factors such as smoNing, alcohol consumption, use of medicines, contact Zith chemicals, as Zell as age and gender on marNers of oxidative stress, in healthy subMects. :e checNed the effect of age on the antioxidant capacity, Zith decreased values in older individuals, Zhich may be the cause of increased oxidative stress, associated Zith aging. Regarding the other factors, no differences Zere found in the values of the marNer of lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant capacity.

Living organisms are constantly subjected to the action of free radicals, which are one of the causes of oxidation reactions, because they have on free electron, what makes it very reactive. They are products of organism reactions or they are produced by exogenous factors, such as tobacco. Fatty acids are the most vulnerable target, and may suffer lipid peroxidation, what affects the cell structure. Cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diseases of aging are occurrence of these reactions in the organism related. The aliments are also subjected to suffer oxidation reactions, what make them unfit for consumption and decreasing the useful life. Synthetics antioxidants are used as aliments preservatives, but they present some toxicity for the organism. Studies for the utilization of natural antioxidants have gained more importance in recent decades, due to the conservation potential and low toxicity. Phenolics compounds are largely present at the vegetable kingdom and they present high antioxidant potential due to the neutralization and kidnapping of free radicals capacity. These compounds are used by the industry at the aliments conservation, specially the phenolics acids. The consumption of aliments rich in phenolic compounds, such as teas, wines and fruits are low incidence of degenerative diseases related. This study consists in a bibliographic revision that covers these compounds importance in diet and at the food conservation, and the methodologies and difficulties in the extraction process due to variety of molecules of this group.
