AB  - Sexual dysfunction, as a noticeable adverse effect of atypical antipsychotic drugs (APDs) for the treatment of schizophrenia, has not been investigated in detail. A study was undertaken to investigate whether 28-day long treatment with clozapine, ziprasidone or sertindole (using a recommended daily dose for atypical antipsychotic therapy), induced histopathological changes both in rat testicles and prostate, changed the activity of the antioxidant defence system and altered blood testosterone and prolactin. Clozapine, ziprasidone and sertindole induced histopathological changes in rat testicular tissue, which could be attributed to a disturbed testicular antioxidant defence system in addition to an altered prolactin to testosterone ratio. None of the APD treatments induced histopathological changes in prostate. Our results demonstrate that APDs have the capacity to change both redox and endocrinological balance. One or both outcomes could underline testicular degeneration and disturbed spermatogenesis.

AB  - OBJECTIVE In this study, iodine level in pregnant women of Montenegro and their needs for supplementation were investigated. METHODS A urinary iodine concentration (UIC) study of 326 pregnant women between September and December 2017 in three regions of Montenegro was performed. UIC was related to creatinine (UI/Cr ratio). RESULTS The median UIC (133 ± 5 μg/L) was indicative of iodine deficiency, as the WHO recommended UIC is 150-249 μg/L. The UI/Cr ratio (160 ± 6 μg/g creatinine) was just above the WHO/UNICEF/IGN recommendation. Approximately 50% of the surveyed women had a lower UIC than that recommended. CONCLUSION Iodine deficiency is present in pregnant women in Montenegro. Monitoring the UIC during routine analyses in pregnant women in Montenegro is recommended, along with iodine supplementation for individuals that need it.

AB  - Chronic use of atypical antipsychotics may produce hepatic damage. Atypical antipsychotics, including clozapine, sertindole, and ziprasidone, are extensively metabolized by the liver and this process generates toxic-free radical metabolic intermediates which may contribute to liver damage. The aim of this study was to investigate whether clozapine, sertindole, or ziprasidone affected hepatic antioxidant defense enzymes which consequently led to disturbed redox homeostasis. The expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), catalase (CAT), and glutathione-S-transferases (GST) were measured in rat livers at doses corresponding to human antipsychotic therapy. Clozapine increased activity of SOD types 1 and 2, GR and GST, but reduced CAT activity. Sertindole elevated activities of both SODs. In ziprasidone-treated rats only decreased CAT activity was found. All three antipsychotics produced mild-to-moderate hepatic histopathological changes categorized as regenerative alterations. No apparent signs of immune cell infiltration, microvesicular or macrovesicular fatty change, or hepatocytes in mitosis were observed. In conclusion, a 4-week long daily treatment with clozapine, sertindole, or ziprasidone altered hepatic antioxidant enzyme activities and induced histopathological changes in liver. The most severe alterations were noted in clozapine-treated rats. Data indicate that redox disturbances may contribute to liver dysfunction after long-term atypical antipsychotic drug treatment.

AB  - Radicava™ (Edaravone) was approved the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a new treatment for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Edaravone is a synthetic antioxidant that specifically targets oxidative damage interacting with lipid radicals in the cell. In ALS disease the multiple cell types are involved in devastating loss of motor neurons. Mutations and biochemical changes in various cell types jointly contribute to motor neuron death, disease onset, and disease progression. The overall mechanism of neurodegeneration in ALS is still not completely understood. Dying motor neurons have been reported to exhibit features of apoptosis. However, non-apoptotic features of dying motor neurons have also been reported such as ferroptosis. The role of Edaravone in the prevention of ferroptosis in parallel with other therapeutic approaches to ALS therapy is discussed.

AB  - More and more studies are identifying the regulation of metal homeostasis as one of the key points of central nervous system’s
well-being. Epilepsy is a particularly interesting neurological condition when viewed in terms of the correlation between the
amount of metals and the development of a seizure. This lecture will present contribution of our group to the field of metal
biology in epilepsy by mapping brain metals in sclerotic hippocampus resected from drug resistant mesial temporal lobe
epilepsy (mTLE) patients as surgical therapeutic approach. Direct insight into this epileptogenic area, by two powerful techniques,
optical emission and mass spectrometry, has led us to investigation of copper turnover. Namely, among the examined metals,
we found the deficiency of copper in sclerotic hippocampus on two levels: (i) in whole structure (ii) and locally in the areas of
neuronal loss, with significant correlation between copper concentration and neuron density. Furthermore, analysis of copper
metalloproteins showed: (i) significant increase or decrease in levels of protein that is participating in copper transport into
the cell (CTR1) depending on the degree of hippocampal neuronal loss; (ii) and lower activity of an enzyme in which copper
is part of the active site, cytochrome c oxidase, in sclerotic hippocampi of patients compared to control tissue. In our further
investigations it remained to be determined whether changes in copper concentrations and copper metalloproteins are causal
to pathology of mTLE or they represent epiphenomenon.

AB  - The accumulating evidence on the relation between the disturbed metal homeostasis
and epilepsy urges the need for data regarding the total metal concentrations, as well
as metal distribution in the brain itself, in order to indicate where to direct the
potential therapy, to metal supplementation or chelation. This paper summarizes our
results on the measurements of some important essential metals in hippocampi of
patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) who underwent
amigdalohippocampectomy. The key findings point out that levels of copper and
manganese are deficient in hippocampi of mTLE patients, and that their
concentrations correlated positively with neuronal loss in affected regions of sclerotic
hippocampus. In addition, the Cu concentration was decreased in the areas of total
neuronal loss. Iron and zinc total hippocampal levels were neither accumulated nor
deficient compared to control. Our results contribute to deeper insight of metals
biology in the epilepsy and may represent the initial point of new and non-invasive
therapy of drug resistant epilepsy.

AB  - AIM There is a discrepancy between the amount of transitional milk produced by mothers of preterm infants and the low capacity of premature infants to consume it. This milk can be used in milk banks, but previous studies found that there are large variations in the level of host-defence proteins in individual samples of milk from mothers of premature infants, which implies that large individual variations in antioxidative defence composition are also possible. METHODS Milk samples were collected from 20 healthy mothers of preterm infants. We determined the values for non-enzymatic antioxidative capacity parameters (oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC)), static oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), activities of antioxidant defence enzymes and the amount of vitamin C in whole milk, skim and whey fractions of transitional milk. RESULTS The main low-molecular-weight antioxidant in transitional milk is vitamin C and most of it is contained in whey. ORAC is higher in whole transitional milk than in skim milk and whey, and ORP is lower in whole transitional milk than that in skim milk and whey. Antioxidative enzyme activities are similar in all individual samples of transitional milk from mothers of preterm infants. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that transitional milk of mothers of preterm infants shows slow individual variations in antioxidative defence composition; therefore, it can be used in human milk banks.

AB  - Pectin is the main soluble fiber in apples or citruses. It may be fermented by gut microbiota to metabolites showing local intestinal and systemic effects. A wide range of beneficial effects of dietary pectin includes impacts on the redox milieu and microbiota profile. We prepared pectin-derived oligosaccharides (apple (APDO) and citrus) and polygalacturonic acid-derived oligosaccharides, using alkaline hydrolysis by hydrogen peroxide, and analyzed them by Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometry. Furthermore, we analyzed the effects of pectin-derived oligosaccharides on hydroxyl radical (HO)-generating Fenton reaction using electron paramagnetic resonance spin-trapping spectroscopy, and the effects on the growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in the presence of dietary-relevant HO-generating system (iron+ascorbate). The oligosaccharides react with HO radical to produce carbon dioxide radical anion (CO 2 - ). A comparative analysis showed that APDO has the most prominent bacteriostatic effect. This might be at least partially related to the higher capacity of APDO to produce CO 2 - , which specifically targets proteins and appears to have a longer lifetime and larger diffusion radius in biological systems compared to HO.
