Background and Aim: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) public health policy has focused on the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus its effects human while environmental factors have been largely ignored.In considering epidemiological triad (agent-host-environment) applicable to all disease, we investigated a possible factor in COVID-19 pandemic: ambient radiofrequency radiation from wireless communication systems including microwaves millimeter waves.SARS-CoV-2, that caused pandemic, surfaced Wuhan, China shortly after implementation of city-wide (fifth generation [5G] communications [WCR]), rapidly spread globally, initially demonstrating statistical correlation international communities with recently established 5G networks.In this study, examined peer-reviewed scientific literature detrimental bioeffects WCR identified several mechanisms by which may contributed pandemic as toxic cofactor.By crossing boundaries between disciplines biophysics pathophysiology, present evidence may: (1) cause morphologic changes erythrocytes echinocyte rouleaux formation can contribute hypercoagulation; (2) impair microcirculation reduce erythrocyte hemoglobin levels exacerbating hypoxia; (3) amplify immune system dysfunction, immunosuppression, autoimmunity, hyperinflammation; (4) increase cellular oxidative stress production free radicals resulting vascular injury organ damage; (5) intracellular Ca 2+ essential for viral entry, replication, release, addition promoting pro-inflammatory pathways; (6) worsen heart arrhythmias cardiac disorders.Relevance Patients: In short, become ubiquitous stressor propose adverse outcomes patients infected SARS-CoV-2 increased severity pandemic.Therefore, recommend people, particularly those suffering infection, their exposure much reasonably achievable until further research better clarifies systemic associated chronic exposure.

Introduction . Obesity is one of the most important public health problems in world. Among obese people, there are those who, apart from excessive body weight, do not exhibit other metabolic dysfunctions, have a lower risk developing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), and show mortality. According to theory, they referred as metabolically healthy (MHO), contrast unhealthy (MUO). Metabolic disturbances occurring with obesity been well established be associated oxidative stress. Aim The purpose this study was analyse association between selected anthropometric biochemical parameters stress MHO, MUO, normal weight young adults.

Although circadian biorhythms of mitochondria and cells are highly conserved crucial for the well-being complex animals, there is a paucity studies on reciprocal interactions between oxidative stress, redox modifications, metabolism, thermoregulation, other major oscillatory physiological processes. To address this limitation, we hypothesize that circadian/ultradian interaction redoxome, bioenergetics, temperature signaling strongly determine differential activities sleep-wake cycling mammalians birds. Posttranslational modifications proteins by reversible cysteine oxoforms, S-glutathionylation S-nitrosylation shown to play role in regulating mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production, protein activity, respiration, metabolomics. Nuclear DNA repair cellular synthesis maximized during wake phase, whereas redoxome restored remodeling sleep. Hence, our analysis reveals wakefulness more protective restorative nucleus (nucleorestorative), sleep (mitorestorative). The "redox-bioenergetics-temperature mitochondrial-nuclear regulatory hypothesis" adds understanding respiratory uncoupling, substrate control hibernation. Similarly, hypothesis explains how redox-bioenergetics-temperature-regulated states, when perturbed interactome disturbances, influence pathogenesis aging, cancer, spaceflight health effects, sudden infant death syndrome, diseases metabolism nervous system.

Sulfur‐containing amino acids, methionine, cysteine, and their derivatives play important roles transmethylation transsulfuration pathways. Dysregulation these pathways leads to alterations cellular methylation patterns an imbalanced redox state. Therefore, we tested hypothesis that one‐carbon metabolism already dysregulated children with obesity. Peripheral blood was collected from 64 plasma metabolites were quantified by HPLC. The cohort stratified BMI z‐scores HOMA‐IR indices into healthy lean (HL), obese (HO), unhealthy (UHO). Fasting insulin levels higher HO group compared HL, while UHO had highest. All groups presented normal fasting glycemia. Furthermore, high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) lower triglycerides lactate subjects. S‐adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) total homocysteine increased HL.

Valsartan belongs to angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor blockers (ARB) used in cardiovascular diseases like heart failure and hypertension. Except for its AT1-antagonism, another mechanism of drug action has been suggested recent research. One the supposed actions refers positive impact on redox balance reducing protein glycation. Our study is aimed at assessing antiglycooxidant properties valsartan an vitro model oxidized bovine serum albumin (BSA). Glucose, fructose, ribose, glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MGO), chloramine T were as glycation or oxidation agents. Protein products (total thiols, carbonyls (PC), advanced (AOPP)), glycooxidation (tryptophan, kynurenine, N-formylkynurenine, dityrosine), (amyloid-β structure, fructosamine, end (AGE)), antioxidant activity capacity (TAC), DPPH assay, ferric power (FRAP)) measured each sample. In presence valsartan, concentrations significantly lower comparing control. Moreover, was higher those samples. The drug's comparable renowned antiglycation agents antioxidants, e.g., aminoguanidine, metformin, Trolox, N-acetylcysteine, alpha-lipoic acid. conducted experiment proves that can ameliorate various conditions. Available animal clinical studies uphold this statement, but further research needed confirm it, reduction may prevent disease development.
