title: Resveratrol reduces oxidative stress induced by platinum compounds in blood platelets.
abstract: The effects of resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) on the oxidative stress in blood platelets induced by platinum compounds [cisplatin and selenium-cisplatin conjugate] were studied in vitro. The production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), the level of conjugate diene, the generation of superoxide anion radicals (O2-*) and other reactive oxygen species (O2-*, H2O2, singlet oxygen and organic radicals) were measured by chemiluminescence in blood platelets treated with platinum compounds. Cisplatin at the concentration of 10 microg/ml, as well as selenium-cisplatin conjugate (10 microg/ml) induced oxidative stress in blood platelets: an increase in TBARS, conjugate diene, chemiluminescence and generation of O2-*. In the presence of resveratrol (a natural compound with antioxidant activity) at the concentrations of 1-25 microg/ml, the chemiluminescence, the levels of O2-*, conjugate diene and TBARS were reduced (p < 0.05). We showed that resveratrol at different concentrations (1-25 microg/ml) had a protective effect against oxidative stress in platelets caused by platinum compounds (10 microg/ml) and it diminished platelet lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species generation induced by platinum compounds.
