Variations in the <i>eNOS</i> gene may be implicated in reducing NO levels. This study examined the relationship between <i>eNOS</i> gene variations and NO and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in preeclamptic women and their neonates in Bangladesh. This study compared 100 healthy pregnant women (controls) with 82 preeclampsia-diagnosed women and their newborns. PCR-RFLP was used to detect eNOS gene variants, while spectrophotometric methods were used to measure NO and MDA levels in plasma. The maternal <i>eNOS</i> gene variant rs2070744 exhibited a significant relationship with PE risk, particularly under the dominant model and allele frequency scrutiny. Similarly, the neonatal <i>eNOS</i> gene variant rs2070744 exhibited a robust association with PE risk across various genetic models. The case‒control comparison of the genotypic distribution of NO and MDA in the studied subjects revealed that although PE mothers with TT genotypes had significantly lower NO levels than did the controls, the neonates of PE mothers with TT and CC genotypes showed a significant decrease in NO levels compared to their control groups. Moreover, the PE group and their neonates with the TT and CT genotypes had significantly greater MDA levels than did the control group. These findings illuminate the profound influence of <i>eNOS</i> gene variants on preeclampsia onset, suggesting a potential mechanism involving altered NO production via heightened oxidative stress among affected mothers and neonates. Consequently, screening for eNOS variants and estimating NO levels in pregnant women could offer early identification of those predisposed to PE, thus enabling timely interventions.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12291-024-01264-2.</p>","PeriodicalId":13280,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry","volume":"40 3","pages":"479-487"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12229286/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144583795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A combination of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors, including dietary habits, exposure to pollutants, and ultraviolet radiation, influence this natural phenomenon. The consequences of aging manifest as various health complications, such as cardiovascular diseases, Type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, malignancies, and visible signs like dermal dryness and wrinkles. An imbalance between the body's antioxidant defenses and the production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leads to oxidative stress, which is a key part of the aging process. This imbalance induces cellular damage, apoptosis, and tissue dysfunction, accelerating age-related decline. Antioxidants, both endogenous and exogenous, play a pivotal role in mitigating oxidative stress by scavenging harmful free radicals. Micronutrients from food, such as certain vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, have gotten a lot of attention as exogenous antioxidants that may slow down or fix age-related problems. This review synthesizes findings from comprehensive literature searches on platforms such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, encompassing studies published between 2018 and mid-2024. It looks into the biochemical roles and cell mechanisms that these micronutrients use to fight oxidative stress and support healthy aging. Micronutrients that are high in antioxidants, like vitamins A, C, and E; essential trace minerals, like zinc, copper, and selenium; and phytochemicals, like flavonoids, curcumin, and resveratrol, can help restore the body's oxidative balance. But, even though they seem to have good effects, there isn't enough solid scientific evidence to support the use of these micronutrients as anti-aging agents on their own. This review talks about how eating antioxidant-rich foods every day might be a safer and more long-lasting way to help people live longer and lessen the effects of age-related problems.</p><p><strong>Graphical abstract: </strong></p>","PeriodicalId":13280,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry","volume":"40 3","pages":"322-338"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12226449/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144575391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the expression of the HHIP gene in GC is inconsistent and poorly understood. This study aimed to examine HHIP gene expression in gastric cancer. We used methylation-specific PCR, Western Blot analysis, and quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) to assess the hypermethylation and expression levels of HHIP gene promoters. The correlation between these results and clinical parameters (e.g. age, gender, histological type, class, stage, and lymph node metastasis) was studied with samples from 53 GC patients confirmed by histology. In 69.81% (37 out of 53) of the tumor tissue, HHIP hypermethylation was found. Of the 45 cases examined for mRNA expression, 53.33% (24 out of 45) showed a decrease in the HHIP mRNA level compared to the normal sample. In addition, 49.05% (26 out of 53) showed a decline in the expression of HHIP proteins. Almost all GC samples with reduced protein expression also showed a reduction in mRNA levels. These results suggest that the hypermethylation of the HHIP promoter leads to a decrease in the regulation of HHIP, which contributes to the activation of the hedgehog signal path and may play a critical role in the progress of GC. Our study highlights the significant link between HHIP hypermethylation and reduced gene expression at both mRNA and protein levels, suggesting that target HHIP gene methylation could be a promising treatment strategy for gastric cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":13280,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry","volume":"40 1","pages":"46-58"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11741958/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143004830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
