OXIDATIVE STRESS

This study looked at whether anti-inflammatory treatment can improve sperm quality in men with infertility linked to inflammation and oxidative stress. Researchers measured markers of sperm damage before and after treatment in 200 men. The goal was to see if reducing inflammation…

This study looked at whether taking powdered tart cherries helps trained men and women recover from repeated sprints. Forty healthy, active adults did intense sprinting exercises and then took either tart cherry powder or a placebo. Researchers measured muscle soreness, power, in…

This study tested a daily dietary supplement made from natural compounds to see if it could help with skin ageing. 92 healthy adults aged 29 to 82 took either the supplement or a placebo for six weeks. Researchers measured blood markers for collagen production, oxidative stress, …

This study used blood cells from 90 people with Parkinson's disease, ALS, or healthy volunteers to see how the drug deferiprone affects cell stress and energy. The goal was to learn more about the disease process, not to treat patients. Results may guide future research.

This study tested whether a daily capsule of polysaccharide peptide (PsP) from the reishi mushroom could lower markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in 200 adults who smoke or are around smoke. Participants took either PsP or a placebo for 8 weeks, and researchers measured…

This study looked at how intense exercise affects cell health in 17 elite female cross-country skiers compared to 17 non-athlete women. Researchers measured levels of antioxidants and stress markers in blood samples. The goal was to understand how the body adapts to hard training…

This study tested whether using a special laser (Nd:YAG) during root canal treatment could reduce inflammation and stress in infected teeth. Researchers compared 58 patients who received the laser with those who did not. The results showed no significant difference, meaning the l…

This study looked at whether black raspberry lozenges could lower DNA damage in mouth cells caused by smoking. Sixty-nine adult smokers took the lozenges over several weeks. Researchers measured specific DNA adducts (signs of damage) to see if the berries had a protective effect.

This study looked at 106 people having arm surgery with a tourniquet. Researchers compared general anesthesia (being fully asleep) with a nerve block (numbing only the arm) to see which method causes less stress on the body and better protects blood vessel function. The goal was …

This study looked at 140 women who had a C-section to see if the type of anesthesia (general vs. regional) changes the levels of natural antioxidants in their breast milk. Researchers collected a small milk sample 6 hours after surgery. The goal was to understand how different an…

This study looked at whether using a special monitor called Oxygen Reserve Index (ORI) during nose surgery can prevent giving patients too much oxygen, which can cause cell stress. Sixty adults having rhinoplasty were randomly assigned to have oxygen levels guided by ORI or stand…

This study looked at how regular exercise changes certain proteins in the blood that are linked to oxidative stress and antioxidant defenses. Researchers compared 15 young women who exercised regularly for at least a year with 15 who did not. They measured two markers in the bloo…

This study looked at nearly 1,000 adults aged 30-60 to compare levels of harmful chemicals, oxidative stress, and inflammation in long-term users of a tobacco heating system versus cigarette smokers and those who quit. Participants were grouped based on their smoking or vaping hi…

This study measured how giving higher or normal oxygen levels during laparoscopic lower abdominal surgery affects certain substances in the blood related to lung stress, inflammation, and blood vessel health. 76 adults took part, and researchers compared the two oxygen strategies…

This study looked at how CrossFit and traditional weight training affect inflammation and oxidative stress in people who don't usually exercise. Twenty-four healthy, untrained adults followed a 12-week program, doing five sessions per week. Researchers measured blood markers befo…
