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.
