TBARS Cancer Research Results

TBARS, Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type: measure
TBARS (Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances) is a measure of lipid peroxidation, which is the oxidative degradation of lipids. Lipid peroxidation is a process in which free radicals attack lipids containing carbon-carbon double bond(s), especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), leading to cell damage.

Research has shown that TBARS levels are often elevated in cancer patients. This is because cancer cells have higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) than normal cells, which can lead to increased lipid peroxidation.

*SOD↑, ISO significantly increased the levels of total superoxide dismutase induced by scopolamine in the hippocampus and frontal cortex.
*p‑CREB↑, ISO reversed the decreases in expression of phosphorylated cAMP response element binding (CREB) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus and frontal cortex of scopolamine-treated mice.
*BDNF↑,
*memory↑, ISO ameliorates scopolamine-induced memory and cognitive impairments partly by restoring the cholinergic system, antioxidant defense, and p-CREB/BDNF signaling pathway, thereby exhibiting memory-enhancing activities.
