Oxidative stress associated with exercise, psychological stress and life-style factors

TLDR
Alcohol in lower doses may act as an antioxidant on low density lipoproteins and thereby have an anti-atherosclerotic property and regular exercise and carbohydrate-rich diets seem to increase the resistance against oxidative stress.

The Comet Assay as a Rapid Test in Biomonitoring Occupational Exposure to DNA-damaging Agents and Effect of Confounding Factors

TL;DR: It is argued that none of the confounding factors are unequivocally positive in the majority of the studies and recommended that age, gender, and smoking status be used as criteria for the selection of populations and that data on exercise, diet, and recent infections be registered before blood sampling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Psychological and metabolic stress: a recipe for accelerated cellular aging?

TL;DR: This review focuses on some key hormonal and metabolic pathways that appear important today, and certain psychological temperaments at high risk of this stress cascade, gene-environment interactions, and potential interventions for interrupting the stress-aging cascade are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The impact of stress on the development and expression of atopy

TL;DR: Examination of other mechanisms (e.g. oxidative stress pathways, glucocorticoid resistance, nerve–mast cell interactions, intestinal dysbiosis) and a broader range of cytokines and neuropeptides produced by cells both within and outside the immune system may better delineate the true complexity of the underlying mechanisms linking stress to allergic sensitization and asthma.

Prevention of oxidative stress injury to sperm

TL;DR: Spermatozoa are sensitive to OS because they lack cytoplasmic defenses, and the sperm plasma membrane contains lipids in the form of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are vulnerable to attack by ROS.

Microsomal lipid peroxidation.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses microsomal lipid peroxidation, a complex process known to occur in both plants and animals that involves the formation and propagation of lipid radicals, the uptake of oxygen, a rearrangement of the double bonds in unsaturated lipids, and the eventual destruction of membrane lipids.

The effect of vitamin E and beta carotene on the incidence of lung cancer and other cancers in male smokers

TL;DR: No reduction in the incidence of lung cancer among male smokers is found after five to eight years of dietary supplementation with alpha-tocopherol or beta carotene, and this trial raises the possibility that these supplements may actually have harmful as well as beneficial effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bilirubin is an antioxidant of possible physiological importance

TL;DR: The data support the idea of a "beneficial" role for bilirubin as a physiological, chain-breaking antioxidant.

Dietary carcinogens and anticarcinogens Oxygen radicals and degenerative diseases

TL;DR: Dietary intake of natural antioxidants could be an important aspect of the body's defense mechanism against these agents of cancer and other age-related diseases.
