AB  - The effects of twelve weeks of supplementation with fullerene C60 olive/coconut oil solution on a broad spectrum of parameters in rats were examined. The tissue bioaccumulation of C60 was shown to be tissue-specific, with the liver, heart, and adrenal glands being the organs of the greatest, and the kidney, brain, and spleen being the organs of the smallest accumulation. C60 did not change aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase serum activities level, nor the damage of liver cells DNA. There were no effects of fullerene on prooxidant-antioxidant balance in the liver, kidney, spleen, heart, and brain, nor any visible harmful effects on the liver, heart, aorta, spleen, kidney, and small intestine histology. Fullerene changed the gut microbiota structure towards the bacteria that ameliorate lipid homeostasis, causing a serum triglycerides concentration decrease. However, C60 significantly increased the insulin resistance, serum ascorbate oxidation, and brain malondialdehyde and advanced oxidation protein products level. The deteriorative effects of C60 on the brain and serum could be attributed to the specific physicochemical composition of these tissues, potentiating the C60 aggregation or biotransformation as the key element of its pro-oxidative action.

AB  - During high-temperature cooking of protein rich foods, especially meat and fish, heterocyclic aromatic amines can be formed. These amines are a class of potent mutagens that can cause alterations in the structure of DNA and chromosomes. In recent decades, research has been focused on investigating plants and their phytochemicals as potential antimutagens. The aim of this study was to examine the anti-genotoxic effect of methanolic root and leaf extracts of Gentiana lutea against the food mutagens 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ) and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) produced in thermally processed meat. To determine the protective potential of extracts, the alkaline comet assay was applied. The results obtained indicated strong anti-genotoxic effect of both extracts against the tested mutagens. The highest inhibition of IQ-induced genotoxicity was recorded for leaf extract (72%). Regarding PhiP, root extract achieved inhibition of 80% of DNA damage, so was more successful than leaf extract. The data obtained in this study stimulates further research of G. lutea extracts and its constituents as potential dietary supplements in improving human health. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

AB  - Aim To characterize and investigate the genotoxic effect of a new endodontic cement based on dicalcium- and tricalcium-silicate (CS) with hydroxyapatite (HA) on human lymphocytes. Methodology Hydrothermal treatment was applied for synthesis of CS and HA. The final mixture HA-CS, with potential to be used in endodontic practice, is composed of CS (34%) and HA (66%). Human lymphocytes were incubated with HA, HA-CS and CS for 1h, at 37 degrees C and 5% CO2. Cell viability was determined using the trypan blue exclusion assay. To evaluate the level of DNA damage comet assay (single cell gel electrophoresis) was performed. For the statistical analysis anova and Duncans Post Hoc Test were used. Results The SEM analysis indicated that CS consisted mostly of agglomerates of several micrometers in size, built up from smaller particles, with dimensions between 117 and 477nm. This is promising because dimensions of agglomerates are not comparable with channels inside the cell membranes, whereas their nano-elements provide evident activity, important for faster setting of these mixtures compared to MTA. Values of DNA damage obtained in the comet assay indicated low genotoxic risk of the new endodontic materials. Conclusions The significantly improved setting characteristics and low genotoxic risk of the new material support further research.
