Oxidative Stress
Pathophysiology Overview
Novel silymarin serum reduces effects of environmental oxidative stress, improves acne
A serum comprised of silymarin, an antioxidant derived from milk thistle plant seeds, improved the signs and symptoms of acne and acne treatment, according to a study.
Aging plays ‘complex role’ in AMD pathogenesis
Oxidative stress, amyloid beta formation, circadian rhythm, metabolic aging and cellular senescence are among risk factors linked to age-related macular degeneration, according to a review published in Ageing Research Reviews.
N-acetylcysteine does not decrease AF incidence after CABG
N-acetylcysteine, an antioxidant supplement, administered with carvedilol did not prevent postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients who underwent CABG compared with carvedilol alone, data from a single-center study show.
VIDEO: Oxidative stress correlates with visual acuity in patients with retinal pathologies
DENVER — Higher levels of oxidative stress, as evidenced by flavoprotein fluorescence, correlated with poorer best corrected visual acuity in patients with various retinal pathologies, according to a study presented at the ARVO meeting.
Selonsertib fails to reduce pulmonary vascular resistance, improve outcomes in PAH
In the phase 2 ARROW trial, selonsertib for 24 weeks failed to significantly reduce pulmonary vascular resistance or achieve clinical improvement in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Dual vaping/cigarette use may be no safer than tobacco cigarette use alone
E-cigarette use combined with use of traditional cigarettes may confer similar inflammatory and oxidative stress to exclusive use of traditional cigarettes, according to research published in Circulation.
