    Age-related myocardial dysfunction has important implications with impaired redox homeostasis. Current study focused on investigation of redox homeostasis and histopathological changes in the myocardium of mimetically (MA), naturally aged (NA), and young control (YC) rats. Chronic d-galactose administration to young male Wistar rats (5 months old) was used to set up experimental aging models. We investigated 16 different oxidative damage biomarkers which have evaluated redox homeostasis of cellular macromolecules such as protein, lipid, and DNA. As a protein oxidation biomarker, advanced oxidation end products, protein carbonyl groups, protein-bound advanced glycation end products, dityrosine, kynurenine, and N-formylkynurenine concentrations in MA and NA rats were found to be significantly higher compared to those in YC rats. On the other hand, the levels of protein thiol groups were not significantly different between groups, whereas lipid peroxidation biomarkers such as conjugated diens, lipid hydroperoxides, and malondialdehyde in MA and NA rats were found to be significantly higher in comparison to those in YCs. For the assessment of oxidative DNA damage, we analyzed eight hydroxy-5?-deoxyguanosine concentrations of MA and NA groups which were higher than YCs. As an antioxidant status in the MA and NA groups, Cu–Zn superoxide dismutase, ferric reducing antioxidant power, and total thiol levels were lower than those in the YCs. Only nonprotein thiol levels were not significantly different. We also observed similar histopathological changes in MA and NA rats. We concluded that the mimetic aging model could be considered as a reliable experimental model for myocardial senescence.

    Background The effect of the natural aging process on systemic redox homeostasis is previously documented. However, none of the studies specify the effect of experimental aging on systemic redox homeostasis. The purpose of this study is to clarify the ambiguity raised in preliminary reports as to mimetic aging dependency of the type and magnitude of oxidative damage on constituents of plasma. Methods In the current study, we investigated the interrelationship among various groups of the systemic oxidative damage markers such as protein oxidation products (protein carbonyl groups, protein hydroperoxides, advanced oxidation protein products, protein thiol groups), lipid peroxidation products (malondialdehyde, lipid hydroperoxides, conjugated dienes), glycoxidation adducts (advanced glycation end products), and antioxidant capacity (ferric reducing/antioxidant power, Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase, total thiol, non-protein thiol). All these markers were measured in plasma of mimetically aged (MA) rats (5-month-old rats subjected to d-galactose-induced experimental aging), naturally aged (NA) rats (24-month-old), and their corresponding young controls (YC) (5 months old). Results and conclusions Our current results show that systemic oxidation markers of the MA group share significant similarities in terms of impaired redox homeostasis with the NA rats and may be considered as a reliable experimental aging model for intravascular aging. Additional methodological studies including d-galactose dosage and application time are warranted to clarify the potential involvement of all these systemic redox variations as mechanistic factors in the development of mimetic aging related intravascular deterioration. Reversing or preventing systemic oxidative damage in experimental and natural aging should therefore be considered the primary target for the development of effective therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat age-related vascular disorders.
