Effect of an antioxidant functional food beverage on exercise-induced oxidative stress: a long-term and large-scale clinical intervention study.
The efficacy of long-term intake of a novel functional food supplement Funciona™ containing vitamins and juiced fruits was evaluated in order to assess the net effect of physical activity and antioxidant potentials in healthy older adult population. The long-term (2 years) and large-scale (400 older adult subjects) interventional study was based on both moderate-intensity exercise practice and concurrent supplementation. Sustained exercise-induced oxidative stress as reflected in significantly increased blood thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) (+15%), protein carbonyl groups (PC) (+18%) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) (+112%) concentrations, and leukocyte 8-OHdG contents (23%). Exercise decreased the reduced/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) molar ratio (-43%) and plasma vitamin C levels (-22%). Supplementation with Funciona™ was significant in preventing oxidative damage to lipid, protein and DNA, and normalizing blood GSSG, GSH/GSSG and vitamin C levels. Thus daily intake of the antioxidant functional beverage counteracts the exercise-induced oxidative stress in free-living older subjects, and might be necessary to restore impaired antioxidant balance due long-term regular exercise.

Dietary modification and moderate antioxidant supplementation differentially affect serum carotenoids, antioxidant levels and markers of oxidative stress in older humans.
Oxidative stress is thought to be a factor in the progression of chronic diseases, and even the aging process itself. We examined the effect of two moderate vitamin, mineral and phytochemical supplements and a dietary intervention on markers of oxidative stress and antioxidant status in older humans. Subjects (n = 60, 65-85 y old) were enrolled in a 5-wk, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The subjects were randomly assigned to a group with one of four interventions: antioxidant supplement capsule, antioxidant supplement tablet, high carotenoid diet or placebo. Postintervention serum levels of some of the supplemented carotenoids and alpha-tocopherol were higher in all treated groups compared with the placebo group and with preintervention levels within groups. Markers of oxidative stress or antioxidant capacity were not significantly different from preintervention levels, although the diet and supplement capsule groups had lower levels of some of those markers than the placebo group postintervention. The results suggest that both moderate antioxidant supplementation and a diet high in carotenoids elevate serum carotenoids and antioxidant levels in an older adult population, although with different specific effects.

Reaction of Cr(VI) with ascorbate and hydrogen peroxide generates hydroxyl radicals and causes DNA damage: role of a Cr(IV)-mediated Fenton-like reaction.
Incubation of Cr(VI) with ascorbate generated Cr(V), Cr(IV) and ascorbate-derived carbon-centered alkyl radicals, as well as formyl radicals. H2O2 caused generation of hydroxyl radicals (OH) and much higher levels of Cr(V), showing that .OH can be generated via a Cr(IV)-mediated Fenton-like reaction (Cr(IV) + H2O2-->Cr(V) + .OH + OH-). 1,10-Phenanthroline and deferoxamine inhibited the formation of both .OH and Cr(V) from the reaction of Cr(VI) with ascorbate in the presence of H2O2. Electrophoretic assays showed that ascorbate-derived free radicals caused DNA double-strand breaks. .OH radicals generated by Cr(V)- and Cr(IV)-mediated Fenton-like reactions also caused DNA double-strand breaks. HPLC measurements showed that .OH radicals generated by Cr(IV) and Cr(V) from H2O2 caused 2'-deoxyguanine hydroxylation to form 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanine.
