Stress

Stress is caused by your perception of situations around you and then the reaction of your body to them. The automatic stress response to unexpected events is known as 'fight or flight'. Dis...

Role Of Oxidative Stress Needs To Be Re-Evaluated

Oxidative stress is believed to cause a number of diseases. Up to now, it has been common practice to measure oxidative stress levels by determining the oxidation state of a small molecule called glut...

Role of oxidative stress in diseases needs to be re-evaluated: Preventive detention for oxidizing agents

Oxidative stress is believed to cause a number of diseases. Up to now, it has been common practice to measure oxidative stress levels by determining the oxidation state of a small molecule called glut...

Oxidative stress and the ageing endocrine system

A progressive decline in cellular function and organismal fitness and an increase in age-related diseases are associated with ageing; many theories have attempted to explain this phenomenon. This Revi...

Pathological neoangiogenesis depends on oxidative stress regulation by ATM

Yuji Okuno et al. find that pathological angiogenesis in mice requires dampening of oxidative stress. In the absence of the ATM protein kinase, increased oxidative stress leads to activation of the p3...

Preventive detention for oxidizing agents

(Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres) Oxidative stress is believed to cause a number of diseases. Up to now, it has been common practice to measure oxidative stress levels by determining...

Treatment relieves oxidative stress in periodontitis

Nonsurgical periodontal therapy significantly reduces oxidative stress in individuals with chronic periodontitis, research shows.

Insight into oxidative stress in varicocele-associated male infertility: part 1

Oxidative stress is the central element contributing to infertility in men with varicocele, to which the testis responds by way of a number of mechanisms, including heat stress. In this comprehensive...

Insight into oxidative stress in varicocele-associated male infertility: part 2

Current evidence suggests that oxidative stress is the central element contributing to infertility in men with varicocele. In this second part of their two-part Review, Hamada et al. discuss the clin...

Oxidative stress: a potential recipe for anxiety, hypertension and insulin resistance.

We recently reported involvement of oxidative stress in anxiety-like behavior of rats. Others in separate studies have demonstrated a link between oxidative stress and hypertension as well as with typ...

Na(+), K (+) ATPase Activity Is Reduced in Amygdala of Rats with Chronic Stress-Induced Anxiety-Like Behavior.

In this study, we examined the effects of two chronic stress regimens upon anxiety-like behavior, Na(+), K(+)-ATPase activity and immunocontent, and oxidative stress parameters (antioxidant enzymes an...

Potential contribution of oxidative stress and inflammation to anxiety and hypertension.

Previously, we have published that pharmacological induction of oxidative stress causes anxiety-like behavior in rats and also is associated with hypertension in these animals. Here, we report that su...

Exercise prevents sleep deprivation-associated anxiety-like behavior in rats: potential role of oxidative stress mechanisms.

Our previous work suggests that pharmacological induction of oxidative stress causes anxiety-like behavior in rats. Interestingly, sleep deprivation is reported to cause oxidative damage in the brain...

Oxidative stress in anxiety and comorbid disorders.

Anxiety disorders, depression, and alcohol use disorder are common neuropsychiatric diseases that often occur together. Oxidative stress has been suggested to contribute to their etiology. Oxidative s...
