ABSTRACT
We studied the effect of nanostructured clathrate complex 9-phenyl-symm-octahydoselenoxanthene (selenopyran) with ß-cyclodextrin on the generation of Ðз radicals in the Fenton system and parameters of oxidative stress in rat liver cells incubated at 37°Ð¡ for 1 h. The complex inhibits the development of free-radical oxidative processes induced by ROS and the most toxic Ðз radicals, reduces the increased level of ROS induced by prooxidants, and exhibits antioxidant activity.

Exposure of male Wistar rats to oxygen atmosphere at moderate pressure (1.10-1.15 atm) for 4 h resulted in significant, transient, and reversible decrease in hemolytic resistance of peripheral blood erythrocytes. In 2 days after oxygen exposure, the bone marrow released young erythrocytes with enhanced hemolytic resistance as a compensation for oxygen injury. These findings suggest that normobaric oxygen load can be viewed as a stress factor of moderate intensity.

We studied the effect of Fe2+ ions in polymerized hemoglobin (Krunidon blood substitute) and in molecular hemoglobin (Sigma) on OH⢠radical initiation in the Fenton system. It was found that polymerized hemoglobin, as a component of Krunidon preparation, in contrast to hemoglobin tetramer, did not intensify OH⢠radical generation. The oxidant potential of Krunidon was evaluated in vivo by measuring malondialdehyde level in dog blood plasma after repeated intravenous administration (5 days in a dose of 114 mg/kg) as a biomarker. Administration of the preparation did not significantly increased malondialdehyde content on days 1 and 4 after exposure and did not affect total protein content in blood plasma. Our findings suggest that polymerized hemoglobin in the Krunidon preparation exhibits no pro-oxidant activity and can be used as the basis for the development of non-oxygenic forms of blood substitutes.

Relatively short-term (2.5 or 5 h) exposure of Wistar rats to oxygen atmosphere at moderate pressure (1.10-1.15 atm) resulted in an increase in LPO level and reduction of antioxidant activity in the blood serum. An increase in malondialdehyde concentration 1 day after termination of the exposure was followed by a decrease in the inhibiting activity of free radical oxidation of liposomal phospholipids induced by Fe(II) ions (100 µm). Malondialdehyde concentration increased by 1.29 times already after 2.5-h exposure and did not changed when the duration of the exposure to oxygen atmosphere was prolonged to 5 h. These data confirm the necessity of using substances potentiating antioxidant defense of the body during exposure to normobaric oxygenation.
