    Study Notes

    Oxidative Stress Mind Map

    • Oxidative stress is an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defenses. This causes damage to cellular components like proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
    • Oxidative stress is implicated in aging, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other pathologies.
    • Oxygen is essential for ATP production but can also generate ROS. About 5% of oxygen undergoes univalent reduction, forming ROS.
    • ROS are formed in mitochondria during electron transport chain (ETC) leakage, peroxisomes (fatty acid oxidation), and via enzymatic reactions. Common ROS include superoxide anion (O2-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radical (OH-), and singlet oxygen (1O2).
    • Key ROS types include superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical.
    • Hydroxyl radical is the most damaging due to its high reactivity.
    • ROS can cause damage to proteins (protein oxidation, carbonylation, altered function/proteolysis), lipids (lipid peroxidation, membrane disruption), and DNA (oxidized guanine, mutations, replication errors).
    • Mechanisms of cellular damage from ROS include ATPase inhibition, disrupted osmotic balance, ion gradients, increased intracellular calcium, activating destructive enzymes (proteases, lipases, nucleases).
    • Antioxidants protect against ROS, increasing livestock health/productivity and food quality.
    • Antioxidants include superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and DNA repair enzymes.
    • Ischemia causes ATP depletion, acidosis, and cell death. Reoxygenation damages endothelium increasing permeability to lipoproteins leading to plaque formation. Treatment involves administering antioxidants during reperfusion to reduce oxidative damage.
    • Calorie restriction slows ROS production, linked to longer lifespans across various organisms.
    • Oxidative stress plays a vital role in aging, carcinogenesis, and atherosclerosis.
    • Exogenous factors like xenobiotics, ionizing radiation, and hyperoxia contribute to increased oxidative stress.
    • Endogenous factors such as mitochondrial dysfunction and antioxidant deficiencies also increase oxidative stress.
    • Oxidative stress can affect meat and milk quality in livestock.
    • Dietary antioxidants can mitigate oxidative stress, affecting animals' health and productivity positively.
