What are Free Radicals and other Oxidants?




The man is at the risk of of degenerative diseases that involve different parts of the body under the action of the oxidants.The elderly are the main high risk group exposed to morbidity hazard of aging.
The aging process is not fully clear yet and a number of theories is suggested to explain aging changes and associated hazardsas:
-Defective synthesis of protein
-Faulty repair of DNA
-Accelerated wear and tear (may play a role)
-Free radicals theory.

Free Radicals are hightly reactive chemicals that must be inactivated by different defence systems of the body,otherwise their reactivity can involve and damage the body cells.Are those implicated in the etiology of different degenerative diseases.
Free radicals are externally introduced (exogenous) or internally produces (endogenous) sources.

Externally introduced sources of free radicals:
-exposure to radiation (the ultraviolet)
-some drugs,specially when exist an abuse of it
-inhalation of certain air pollutants,including pesticides
-exposure to ozone
-cigareete smoking.

Internally produced sources of free radicals:
-some metabolic processes of the body that produce reactive oxygen species (oxidantive metabolic process)
-inflammatory and ischemic processes and others.

Free radicals and other oxidants are cell oxidizers described as cell destroyers.The molecules of oxidants are not readily metabolized in the body and so accumulate leading to irreversible cell damage.
Antioxidant defensive mechanism of the body protects the cells against their destroying effect.But,formation of free radicals and oxidants,together with impaired antioxidant defences,predispose to cell deterioration and degenerative diseases,specially of elderly.

Harmful oxidative effect involves proteins,carbohydrates,lipids and DNA,and plays an important role in pathogenesis of degenerative  of degenerative diseases of aging for exemple:
-artherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.
-cancer
-cataract
-neurodegenerative process (Alzheimer's disease).

Can appear the Oxidative Strees:
Is the adverse condition that results from imbalance between high exposure to sources of oxidants and antioxidants defence of the body.


Antioxidant Defence of the Body:
They combate the harmful effect of free radicals and other oxidants.
1.Enzyme-are antioxidants that react with the oxidizing chemicals and diminish the concentration of harmful oxidants in the body and protect the body against their damaging effect.
2.Antioxidants vitamins: vitamin A,C and E.This protect the cells by binding electrically unbalanced free radicals and prevent deposition of cholesterol in arterial walls and so protect the heart and limit progression of degenerative disease and premature aging.

Calcium-Function and Role in the body


Elements as calcium,phosphorus,iron,iodine and fluorine are from the inorganic elements category,necessary for normal function of vital processes of the body and in formation,maintenance of bone and teeth.

Sources of calcium:
The richest sources: milk,cheese and other sources as: shellfish,canned fish,some green vegetables,sesame.

Absorption of dietary calcium:
Vitamin D is needed for absorption in the intestine.
Extent of absorption is influenced by:
-the quality of diet (better absorption with animal protein diet).
-calcium ratio in diet.
-gastric acidity.

Physiologic Role:
Calcium and phosphorum are the main elements of bone and teeth,they are needed for normal growth,development and maintenance.
Blood calcium is essential for normal clotting of blood.
Calcium contributes to normal functioning of motor nerve and prevention of nerve irritability.
Calcium regulates pulse and contraction heart.

Calcium Deficiency:
Calcium deficiency cause deficiency disease and metabolic disorder of bone:
1.Rickets: affects young children.it is principally caused by vitamin D deficiency that affects absorption and metabolism of calcium.
2.Osteomalacia: affects adults specially multiarous (many pregnancies) mothers.
3.Osteoporosis: due to multiple causes related to bone density and loss of bone substance,including deficiency of calcium,phosphorus and vitamin D.
4.Tetany: due to severe calcium deficiency,that leads to hypocalcemia that causes increased irritability of motor nerves.

Color Hair during Pregnancy


There have been numerous studies on hair coloring and pregnancy and at this piont there have been no evidence that coloring your hair causes birth defects.
Have been made researches on rodents and the studies dicovered negative effects o animal foetuses,in case when the animals were fed with a large amount of substances contained in color hair product.But was considered that this doesn't have the same effect in case of skin applied.
Other studies on hair dye have shown that only a small percentage of hair dye is actually absorbed through the scalp and gets into the body.But nowadays manufacturers have stopped making hair dye with harm ingredients.
While the absorption through the skin is minimal,the larger danger is the fumes,which can be inhaled in greater amounts (dye hair contain ammonia which has a strong chemical fume).
Is more recommend highlighting or low-lighting your hair when the dye is encased in foil and doesn't come into direct contact with your skin or release fumes in aer.
A chemical free vegetable dye is also another good alternative.

Even though there has not been any evidence of hair dye causing birth defects,is not sure of being safety.and is recommended to not use hair dye in the first trimester of the pregnancy.
The first trimester is when all of your baby's major organs are forming.your doctor may recommend postponing coloring your hair until you are in your second trimester or avoiding hair coloring all together.

Safety Tips:
-avoid coloring your hair during the first trimester
-choose a hair dye that will stay on your scalp for the least amount of time as possible
-where gloves when you color your hair
-highlight your hair
-use natural hair dye

Megaloblastic Anemia Definition



Megaloblastic Anemia is that anemia in which there is impaired DNA synthesis due to deficiency of Vitamin B12 or/and folic acid leading.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is more common in the case of lack diet of animal products,vegetarian individuals.
Specific for this type of anemia is the  Vitamin B12  malabsorbtion.
An increased demand it is found in infancy,pregnancy,malignancy and chronic hemolysis.
The folic acid deficiency is more common in case of lack diet of vegetables and excessive alcohol intake.
An increased demand it is found in infancy,pregnancy,malignancy and chronic hemolysis.

Vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency are essential for DNA synthesis,so their deficiency will lead to deficient DNA synthesis in the dividing cells.This way in the bone marrow a delayed division will result in the production of megaloblasts instead of the normaloblasts.Since the megaloblasts are abnormal cells,they will be destroyed in the bone marrow.

Megaloblasts that are formed in the bone marrow will lose their nuclei and reach the peripheral blood as macrocytes (which are large cells whit reduced hemoglobin).Many of this macrocytes are taken by the spleen and destroyed.

Symptoms of Megaloblastic Anemia:
-Manifestation due to infections and bleeding.
-Red glazed tongue
-Dyspepsia,anorexia,nausea,vomiting
-Abdominal pain,diarrhoea,malabsorbtion.
-Neurological manifestations (only in B12 deficiency)
