Effects of Medwakh Smoking on Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Among Youth in UAE using Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Oxidative stress and inflammation are closely related, and inter-dependent pathophysiological processes. Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiology of several chronic inflammatory conditions that causes cellular alterations such as lipid damage, increase of cell permeability, apoptosis/cell death, alteration in growth factors, and signaling pathways.An imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their neutralization by the antioxidant system results in the onset of oxidative stress which subsequently leads to the release of chronic inflammatory mediators such as pro-inflammatory cytokines, which causes damages to DNA, proteins, and lipids.LC-MSMS is widely used for non-targeted and non-invasive metabolomics of biological samples including saliva in a variety of conditions such as inflammatory conditions, cancers, diabetes, etc. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are currently no metabolomics-based studies identifying salivary biomarkers associated with inflammation and oxidative stress utilizing HPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS. Therefore, in this study, we aim to discover the biochemical and physiological changes induced by medwak smoking and explore the metabolomics profile of medwak smokers with a focus on the markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in comparison to nonsmokers.
