Vulnerability of patients with Down syndrome (DS) to oxidative stress and damage has been attributed to the overexpression of the superoxide dismutase gene, which is located in the triplicated critical region 21q22.2 of chromosome 21. The objective of this study was to investigate enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant systems and levels of biomarkers of oxidative damage in saliva of patients with DS. Saliva samples were collected from 30 patients with DS and 30 controls, ranging in age from 14 to 24 years. The following parameters were analyzed: superoxide dismutase activity, concentration of malondialdehyde, carbonylated proteins, uric acid, vitamin C and total protein, peroxidase activity, and total antioxidant capacity. Patients with DS presented significantly higher superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde levels than controls (p<0.05). On the other hand, no difference in carbonylated proteins or antioxidants (uric acid, vitamin C, peroxidase, and total antioxidant capacity) was observed between DS patients and controls (p>0.05). Patients with DS also presented higher salivary total protein content (p<0.05). In conclusion, despite similar antioxidant levels patients with DS are more vulnerable to oxidative stress in saliva as indicated by a significant increase in malondialdehyde concentration and superoxide dismutase activity

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.

This study aimed the avocado ‘Hass’ conservation with the use of radiation. We performed two experiments: Experiment I – fruits irradiated with different doses of cobalt-60 gamma irradiation(0,0; 0,2; 0,4; 0,6 e 1,0 kGy); Experiment II – fruit irradiated by electron accelerator in different doses (0,0; 0,48; 0,8; 1,12 e 1,45 MeV), both maintained at room temperature of 21±1 °C and at relative humidity of 79±5 %. Antioxidant capacity, total phenolic compounds, fresh weight loss, and respiration rate evaluation were performed every three days for 12 days. The experimental design was completely randomized with three replicates per treatment. For statistical analysis, the Tukey test at 5% probability was employed. Under the conditions in which the experiments were performed, the results showed that the gamma radiation use retained the fruits for 12 days, regardless the doses applied. The radiation by electron accelerator use also promote the fruits preservation, regardless the doses employed.
