ABSTRACT

Accounting for increasingly developed population aging and dramatic elevation of aging-related severe disorders worldwide, search of the efficient antiaging agents is becoming one of the urgent problems of contemporary biomedical science. The aim of current study was to reveal the potential protective effects of water-soluble proteins extracted from albumen gland of snails against aging processes. We evaluated the antioxidant effect of the extract in 20 older adult rats in vivo and on 60 human blood samples ex vivo at the cellular level under physiological and oxidative stress conditions using the methods of spectrophotometric analysis, two-photon imaging and cell viability assay. The in vivo animal experiments showed significant increase in the levels of catalase and superoxide dismutase in treated older adult rats, compared to non-treated group. The ex vivo studies involving three human groups (young, middle aged and older adult), demonstrated that the extract has no effect on the cell viability, moreover significantly increases the number of erythrocytes, decreases age-related oxidative stress and the percentage of hemolysis of erythrocytes by aging. Thus, the snails albumen gland protein extract can be considered as effective natural antioxidative antiaging agent in prevention of aging-related pathological processes associated with oxidative stress.
