Inflammation of the human lung is mediated in response to different stimuli (e.g., physical, radioactive, infective, pro-allergenic or toxic) such as cigarette smoke and environmental pollutants. They often promote an increase inflammatory activities airways that manifest themselves chronic diseases allergic airway diseases, asthma, bronchitis/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) even cancer). Increased levels oxidative stress (OS) reduce antioxidant defenses, affect autophagy/mitophagy processes, regulatory mechanisms cell survival, promoting inflammation lung. In fact, OS potentiate lung, favoring progression diseases. increases production reactive oxygen species (ROS), including superoxide anions (O2-), hydroxyl radicals (OH) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), by transformation through enzymatic non-enzymatic reactions. this manner, reduces endogenous defenses both nucleated non-nucleated cells.

Abstract Heavy metals are naturally occurring components of the Earth’s crust and persistent environmental pollutants. Human exposure to heavy occurs via various pathways, including inhalation air/dust particles, ingesting contaminated water or soil, through food chain. Their bioaccumulation may lead diverse toxic effects affecting different body tissues organ systems. The toxicity depends on properties given metal, dose, route, duration (acute chronic), extent bioaccumulation. detrimental impacts human health largely linked their capacity interfere with antioxidant defense mechanisms, primarily interaction intracellular glutathione (GSH) sulfhydryl groups (R-SH) enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, peroxidase (GPx), reductase (GR), other enzyme Although arsenic (As) is believed bind directly critical thiols, alternative hydrogen peroxide production processes have also been postulated. known signaling pathways affect a variety cellular processes, cell growth, proliferation, survival, metabolism, apoptosis. For example, cadmium can BLC-2 family proteins involved in mitochondrial death overexpression antiapoptotic Bcl-2 suppression proapoptotic (BAX, BAK) thus increasing resistance cells undergo malignant transformation. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2) an important regulator enzymes, level oxidative stress, oxidants has shown act double-edged sword response arsenic-induced stress. Another mechanism significant threats metal (e.g., Pb) involves substitution essential calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), iron (Fe)) structurally similar (Cd) (Pb)) metal-binding sites proteins. Displaced redox (copper, iron, manganese) from natural catalyze decomposition Fenton reaction generate damaging ROS hydroxyl radicals, causing damage lipids, proteins, DNA. Conversely, some metals, cadmium, suppress synthesis nitric oxide radical (NO · ), manifested by altered vasorelaxation and, consequently, blood pressure regulation. Pb-induced stress be indirectly responsible for depletion due its (O ·− resulting formation potent biological oxidant, peroxynitrite (ONOO − ).

Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and body’s antioxidant defenses. It poses a significant threat to physiological function reproductive cells. Factors such as xenobiotics heat can worsen this stress, leading cellular damage apoptosis, ultimately decreasing efficiency. The nuclear factor erythroid 2–related 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway plays crucial role in defending against oxidative protecting cells via enhancing responses. Dysregulation Nrf2 has been associated with infertility suboptimal performance mammals.
