Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest cancers, with around 9% patients surviving >5 years. Asymptomatic in its initial stages, PDAC mostly diagnosed late, when already a locally advanced or metastatic disease, as there are no useful biomarkers for detection early surgery can be curative. We have previously described promising biomarker panel (LYVE1, REG1A, and TFF1) earlier urine. Here, we aimed to establish accuracy an improved panel, including REG1B...

Increased oxidative stress is a hallmark of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Glutathione S-transferases (GST) are involved in the detoxification xenobiotics and protection damage. We hypothesized that genetic polymorphism antioxidant enzymes GSTA1, GSTM1, GSTP1 GSTT1 more frequent ESRD modulates degree these patients.GSTA1, genotypes were determined 199 patients age- gender-matched controls. Markers protein lipid damage [thiol groups, carbonyl advanced products, nitrotyrosine, malondialdehyde...

To get more insight into molecular mechanisms underlying oxidative stress and its link with insulin resistance, parameters, as well as, antioxidant enzyme activities were studied in young, non-obese women polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Study was performed 34 PCOS 23 age body mass index (BMI)-matched healthy controls. Plasma nitrotyrosine malondialdehyde (MDA), representative byproducts of protein lipid damage, determined by immunoassay. Antioxidant activities, superoxide dismutase (SOD)...

Understanding the sequelae of COVID-19 is utmost importance. Neuroinflammation and disturbed redox homeostasis are suggested as prevailing underlying mechanisms in neurological propagation long-COVID. We aimed to investigate whether variations antioxidant genetic profile might be associated with Neurological examination (SOD2, GPXs GSTs) determination, well as, genotype analysis Nrf2 ACE2, were conducted on 167 patients. Polymorphisms determined by appropriate PCR methods. Only polymorphisms...

Based on the close relationship between dysregulation of redox homeostasis and immune response in SARS-CoV-2 infection, we proposed a possible modifying role ACE2 glutathione transferase omega (GSTO) polymorphisms individual propensity towards development clinical manifestations COVID-19. The distribution (rs4646116), GSTO1 (rs4925) GSTO2 (rs156697) were assessed 255 COVID-19 patients 236 matched healthy individuals, emphasizing their haplotype effects disease severity. Polymorphisms...

The oxidative stress response via Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) interlinks inflammation- and metabolism-related pathways in chronic kidney disease. We assessed the association between polymorphisms Nrf2, superoxide dismutase (SOD2), glutathione peroxidase (GPX1), risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). modifying effect these on both phenotype ESRD prognosis, independently and/or combination with S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) deletion polymorphism, was further analyzed....

Although the original data on systemic oxidative stress in COVID-19 patients have recently started to emerge, we are still far from a complete profile of changes patients’ redox homeostasis. We aimed assess extent damage proteins, lipids and DNA during course acute disease, as well their association with CT pulmonary patterns. In order obtain more insight into origin stress, observed parameters were correlated inflammatory biomarkers multiorgan impairment. this prospective study, included 58...

Background: Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are complex psychiatric disorders, with gene environment interaction being in the basis of their etiology. The association perinatal complications and ASD is well established. Recent findings suggested that oxidative stress polymorphism genes encoding antioxidant enzymes might be involved development ASD. Glutathione transferases (GSTs) have an important role defense system. We aimed to establish whether predictive effects prenatal (as possible...

Background and Objectives: One of the most frequent genetic alterations reported to date in prostate cancer (PC) is aberrant methylation glutathione transferase P1 (GSTP1). Taking into consideration involvement oxidative stress PC pathogenesis recent advances scientific understanding role GSTP1*Ala114Val rs1138272 polymorphism carcinogenesis, we hypothesized that this single-nucleotide (SNP) influences risk independently of, or combination with, other GST polymorphisms, including...

Objectives: Due to the role of oxidative stress in pathophysiology COVID-19, it is biologically plausible that inter-individual differences patients' clinical manifestations might be affected by antioxidant genetic profile. The aim our study was assess distribution polymorphisms Nrf2 rs6721961, SOD2 rs4880, GPX1 rs1050450, GPX3 rs8177412, and GSTP1 (rs1695 rs1138272) haplotype COVID-19 patients controls, with special emphasis on their association laboratory biochemical parameters.Methods:...

: Despite improvements in screening programs, a large number of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) are diagnosed an advanced disease stage. Previous investigations imply that glutathione transferases (GSTs) might be associated the development and progression CRC. Moreover, detoxification mechanism oxaliplatin, which represents first line treatment for CRC, is mediated via certain GSTs. The aim this study was to evaluate significance
