Abstract

This study intended to analyze: (1) the effects of acute and severe hypoxia exposure on skeletal muscle oxidative stress and oxidative damage markers; (2) the protective role of the antioxidant glutathione against oxidative damage; and (3) the expression of heat shock protein 70 kDa (HSP70) induced by this hypoxic insult. Forty mice were divided into four groups: control + placebo (C+P), hypoxia + placebo (H+P), control + l-buthionine-[S,R]-sulfoximine (BSO, a GSH-depleting compound) (C+BSO) and hypoxia + BSO (H+BSO). Hypoxia groups were continuously exposed for 24 h to a hypobaric hypoxic environment equivalent to an altitude of 7000 m and sacrificed immediately after. Control groups were maintained at sea level during the experimental protocol. Analyzed biochemical parameters were: reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), sulfhydryl protein groups (SH), N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG) and HSP70 protein. Hypoxia (H+P) per se, compared to C+P, induced a significant increase in %GSSG (5.68 vs. 1.14%), TBARS (436.7 vs. 227.9 nM), NAG (4.49 vs. 3.35 U/mg) and HSP70 (178.7 vs. 100%). Compared with H+P, H+BSO showed a significant decrease in total glutathione (19.30 vs. 6.13 nmol/mg) and an additional increase in %GSSG (5.68 vs. 11.33%) and in HSP70 expression (178.7 vs. 202.2%). However, no further oxidative damage was observed in H+BSO. These data suggest that acute hypoxia per se might enhance oxidative stress; however, the glutathione system seems to have a modest role in skeletal muscle protection against hypoxia-induced oxidative stress. Moreover, hypoxia and BSO treatment is a sufficient stimulus to promote HSP70 overexpression.

Das Geschlechterparadoxon in der gesundheitlich beeinträchtigten Lebenszeit – Ende eines Mythos?

Beginnend mit den 1920er-Jahren hat sich eine Vorstellung über die Geschlechterdifferenzen in Gesundheit und Mortalität etabliert, die von Lorber und Moore in dem einprägsamen Satz: „Women get sicker, but men die quicker“, zusammengefasst wurde [ 1 …, S. 13]. Tatsächlich erscheinen vor dem Hintergrund der höheren Lebenserwartung der Frauen die Studienergebnisse zu den Geschlechterdifferenzen in der Morbidität überraschend, wonach Frauen im Durchschnitt einen schlechteren Gesundheitszustand aufweisen als Männer [
