Polymelamine/gold nanoparticle modified carbon paste electrode (PM/AuNPs/CPE) has been developed for voltammetric study of ascorbic acid (AA). The PM/CPE was prepared onto carbon paste electrode surface via electropolymerization, then it has been deposited gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) via electrodeposition for PM/AuNPs/CPE. In pH 7.0 phosphate buffer, PM/AuNPs/CPE was oxidized during the cyclic potential sweep between 0.0 V and 1.5 V, forming polymer and gold nanoparticle at the carbon paste electrode (CPE) surface. The electrochemical behavior of ascorbic acid at the bare CPE, PM/CPE, AuNPs/CPE and PM/AuNPs/CPE were investigated. The oxidation peak potential of ascorbic acid shifts to more negative potential at PM/AuNPs/CPE Moreover, the oxidation peak current significantly increases at PM/AuNPs/CPE. The PM/AuNPs/CPE electrode exhibits a quasi-reversible electron with a peak separation 130 mV. These fenomena indicate that PM/AuNPs/CPE shows highly-efficient catalytic activity to the oxidation of ascorbic acid.

Aldose reductase (AR) is a key enzyme in the polyol pathway, catalyzes nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent reduction of glucose to sorbitol, leading to excessive accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in various tissues of diabetes melitus (DM) including the heart, vasculature, neurons, eyes, and kidneys. Polyol pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of DM in human patients. Indeed a number of AR inhibitors are currently being investigated to prevent diabetic complications. Streptozotocin (STZ) is using to induce diabetes mellitus of experimental animal. This research to prove the dried Etlingera elatior leaves extract could decrease lens and erythrocyte aldose reductase activity in Wistar strain male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) with diabetes mellitus. This study design is using true experimental research with randomized posttest only controls group design. Thirty-five Wistar strain male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) were divided into five groups (each comprised seven rats). Four groups which injected by Streptozotocin (STZ) 60 mg/kgBW were K(+) (fed by Na-CMC 1% only), P1 (fed by 100 mg/kgBW dried Etlingera elatior leaves extract), P2 (fed by 150 mg/kgBW dried Etlingera elatior leaves extract), and P3 (fed by 200 mg/kgBW dried Etlingera elatior leaves extract). One group (K(-)) which not injected by Streptozotocin (STZ) was fed by Na-CMC 1% only. Group which fed by 150 mg/kgBW and 200 mg/kgBW dried Etlingera elatior leaves extract had decreased lens aldose reductase activity than group which was not fed by dried Etlingera elatior leaves extract but not significantly (p>0,05). Group which fed by 100 mg/kgBW, 150 mg/kgBW and 200 mg/kgBW dried Etlingera elatior leaves extract had decreased erythrocyte aldose reductase activity than group which was not fed by dried Etlingera elatior leaves extract significantly (p<0,05). This research suggest that dried Etlingera elatior leaves extract could decrease erythrocyte aldose reductase activity but could not decrease lens aldose reductase activity in Wistar strain male white rats (Rattus norvegicus) with diabetes mellitus.

Leilem, which is known with the botanical name Clerodendrum minahassae, is a plant species commonly used as a component of almost all meat- and fish-based cuisine. In addition to enhancing the flavor and taste suited to the local people, leaves of leilem is also believed to possess high level of natural antioxidant. The leaves of this plant has also been used as traditional medicine to treat stomachache and lung diseases. Our previous study revealed that ethanol extract of leilem has beneficial antihyperlipidemic and antiatherosclerotic effects on the aorta of Wistar rats fed with high lipid and cholesterol levels. The present study was aimed at investigating the phytochemical contents and antioxidant activity of ethanol extract of leilem leaves. Phytochemical screening was carried out using standard methods of precipitation and coloration reactions. In addition, the total phenolics and flavonoids were determined by using spectrophotometric methods. Finally, the leaf extract of leilem was assayed to evaluate its in vitro antioxidant properties using 1,1-Diphenyl picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical assay and ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) assay. The phytochemical screening of leilem leaves revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, and phenols, while terpenes and tannins were not detected. The extract of leilem leaves showed estimated phenolics and flavonoid content of 139.88 mg/g and 34.46 mg/g respectively. Concentration of leilem leave extract required for 50% inhibition of DPPH radical scavenging effect (IC50) was recorded as 565.45 μg/mL. At 1 mg/mL concentration, the aqueous extract of leilem leaves showed ferric reducing power of 123.62 μmoles/mg in FRAP assay. These findings suggest that the ethanol extract of leilem has potential in vitro antioxidant activities. Overall, results obtained from this study support our previous finding that the extract of leilem leaves has beneficial antihyperlipidemic and antiatherosclerotic effects and can be used as an alternative to synthetic antioxidants.

Sucrose occupies many essential roles to control regulation of carbon partitioning in plants, including prokaryotic cells. Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS; EC 2.4.1.14) is a key enzyme to catalyze the form of sucrose in primary sucrose synthesis pathway. Plants SPS has a molecular size around 120 kDa, which consists of N-terminal domain, C-terminal domain, and central domain. We produced the recombinant sugarcane SPS (SoSPS1) in Escherichia coli, however, the expression often appears to be a shorter form with retained enzyme activity. In our result, we reported that the shorter form is suggested to have a truncated N-terminal 20-kDa region. The truncated form of So SPS1 (ΔN-SPS) tends to enhance the specific activity 10-fold compared to full-length SoSPS1. The full-lenght SoSPS1 showed a remarkable allosteric activation by glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), while none of the N-terminal truncated form had such a characteristic. By kinetic analysis of full-length SoSPS1, a higher substrate affinity was shown in the presence of G6P. Conversely, the ΔN-SPS showed a similar substrate affinity whether G6P was added or not. Based on these results, we revealed that N-terminal region of SoSPS1 has essential role for allosteric regulation by G6P and may function like a suppressor domain for the enzyme activity.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation, progressive joint destruction, significant disability, systemic manifestation and premature mortality. In rheumatoid arthritis, oxidative stress play important role in the mechanism leading to destructive sinovitis. Broccoli (Brassica oleracea) is rich in nutritional antioxidants ie. vitamin C and vitamin E, and non-nutritional antioxidants ie. carotenoid, phenolic substances and flavonoids. Broccoli is also rich in polyphenols, a group of phytochemistry considered to have the highest antioxidant content in the diet. Polyphenols inhibit lipid and other molecules oxidation through rapid hydrogen atom donation to free radicals which is likely quench oxidative stress. Three groups of male Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) were used in this study (n=8/group). The first group were non treated control. Adjuvant arthritis was induced in the other two groups by intradermal injection of 0,1 ml Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) on the tail base. After 14 days, booster 0,1 ml CFA was given intradermally on the right and left dorsal feet. In one of the groups 2 gr/kgBW/day broccoli extract were administered per oral for 14 days since symptoms of adjuvant arthritis were appeared (21 days after adjuvant arthritic induction). At the end of experiment (on day 36), periarticular tissue MDA (Malondialdehyde ie. marker of oxidative tissue destruction) level and disease activity score were measured. The result of this study showed that broccoli significantly decreased periarticular tissue MDA level (p=0.001) in adjuvant arthritic rats. Broccoli also decreased disease activity score in adjuvant arthritic rats, but the level of reduction was not statistically significant (p=0.333). In conclusion this study showed that broccoli significantly decrease periarticular tissue MDA level and tends to decrease disease activity score of adjuvant arthritic rats. This outcome is likely due to the presence of antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids and flavonoids in broccoli.

Background: Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder found worldwide, including Indonesia. In people with schizophrenia, there is an increase in Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) / Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS) production and / or a decrease in antioxidants which results in oxidative stress that can be detected by measuring F2-isoprostane levels as gold standard tests. Oxidative stress results in disruption of neuronal function. It is associated with the severity of clinical symptoms of schizophrenia which can be measured by Positive and Negative symptom Scale (PANSS). The purpose of this study was to determine the association between F2-isprostane levels and clinical symptoms of schizophrenia.

Methods: This study was an observational analysis study with a case-control study design in 30 people with chronic schizophrenic Javanese patients and 30 healthy Javanese people as the control group with equal sex and age. In all study subjects, F2-isoprostane level was examined by ELISA technique, while PANNS scoring was only measured for people with chronic schizophrenic.

Results: Total PANNS scores in male schizophrenic patients (40.71 ± 16.07) were higher than female schizophrenic patients (40.31 ± 11.42). Plasma F2-isoprostane level in schizophrenic group (171.69 ± 14.62) was significantly higher (p <0.05) when compared to control group (92.54 ± 8.08).

Conslusion: In this study we found a significant increase of plasma F2-isoprostane level in schizophrenic patients compared with control group. The F2 isoprostane level in schizophrenic patient were not related to the severity of schizophrenia clinical symptoms.

One of several factors in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) is the generation of oxidative stress, inducing lipid peroxidation, and producing malondialdehyde (MDA). Omega-3 fatty acids have role in inhibiting the oxidative stress, but their levels are determined by the omega-6/omega-3 ratio. This study aims to investigate the association between the ratio of omega-6/omega-3 intake and plasma MDA level in knee OA patients. This study was conducted at orthopedic clinic at Bhayangkara Hospital and Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, in grade 2-4 of knee OA patients, aged between 40-60 years (n=57). The 1-month-history of omega-3 and omega-6 intake was obtained by using semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The omega-6/omega-3 ratio was calculated by dividing the average daily intake of total omega-6 by the average daily intake of total omega-3. The plasma MDA level was measured by Wills spectrophotometry. The median for omega-3 and omega-6 intake were 0,864 and 6,830 g/day. Thus the ratio of omega-6/omega-3 intake was 8,8:1, and the mean plasma MDA level was 0,773 nmol/mL. Through multiple linear regression test, the results found were the increase of 1 unit of omega-6/omega-3 intake ratio would increase MDA level of 0,023 nmol/mL (β = 0,023, 95% CI = 0,004 − 0,042, p = 0,017).

Systemic hypoxia lead to deplete amount of ATP in tissues that is caused by inefficiency of ATP production in anaerobic glycolysis. Furthermore, degradation of ATP will activate xanthine oxidase activity, that has side effect free radical production and oxidative stress. In addition, hypoxia is known lead to HIF-1α stabilities by reducing prolyl hydroxylase activity and renin expression. Higher renin expression can cause hypertension. This research aim is to reveal how strong oxidative stress damages of systemic hypoxia (MDA) correlated to HIF-1α and renin expression in kidney tissue. This experimental study conducted using rats induced by hypoxic states for 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, and 14 days with gas mix 10% O2, 90% N2 to proof systemic hypoxia, produce free radical damaged (malondialdehyde/MDA), increase expression of HIF-1α and renin mRNA relative expression. MDA was measured by spectrophotometric method, HIF-1α by Immunohysto chemistry, and renin mRNA using RT-PCR. Results showed that in systemic hypoxia MDA were increased significantly in 7 and 14 days of hypoxia, but in 14days MDA level was lower than 7 days hypoxia. HIF-1α increased during hypoxia. Relative expression of renin mRNA was increased during systemic hypoxia and the peak was at 3day hypoxia. MDA has strong correlation to HIF-1α than to renin mRNA relative expression. We conclude that MDA as product of membrane damage caused by free radicals has strong correlation to HIF-1α in systemic hypoxia.
