Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment: Effects on Mitochondrial Function and Oxidative Stress

This article explores the effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) on mitochondrial function and oxidative stress, highlighting its potential therapeutic benefits. Short-term HBOT can impair mitochondrial function and increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), while long-term treatment improves mitochondrial activity and reduces ROS levels through enhanced antioxidant defenses. The findings suggest

Association between the oxidative balance score and thyroid function: Results from the NHANES 2007-2012 and Mendelian randomization study

This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 6,222 adults from NHANES (2007–2012) to investigate the relationship between the oxidative balance score (OBS)—a composite index reflecting dietary and lifestyle factors affecting oxidative stress—and thyroid function, focusing on free thyroxine (FT4) and total thyroxine (TT4). Using weighted multivariable linear regression, the study found
