Oxidative stress (OS) has become problematic for the biological systems owing to the elevated production of free radicals associated with complex cellular redox processes. 1, 2 Furthermore, OS is associated with the aberrant activation of the innate immune system leading to systemic inflammation or stress. 3 Considerable research has been focused on the systemic OS, and its correlation with multiple disease states and acute stress conditions is well-known. 4-6 However, the studies that address lowering the systemic OS levels in humans have been largely inconclusive as they depend on exogenous treatments, such as antioxidants and probiotics. 7-9 Since systemic OS involves the immune system, a potential strategy would involve the development of a targeted treatment that promotes immune balance, thereby helping to lower the global OS profiles endogenously. 10, 11 Recently, it has been demonstrated through in vivo Drosophila studies that an inactive bacterial biologic (IAB), accompanied with confirmed pathogen molecular associated patterns (PAMPs) to select Toll-like receptors (TLR) and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein (NOD) receptors, lowered the inflammatory targets of the NF-κB signaling cascade. 12 A pilot study was conducted to determine the effect of oral administration of IAB on the systemic OS levels in humans using the OS biomarker, urinary F2-isoprostane (F2-IsoP). F2-IsoP is a stable noninvasive biomarker and an end-stage metabolite of prostaglandin oxidation, present in all fluids and tissues, and has been reported to increase during the oxidative injury (Mayo Clinic Labs; Cleveland Heart Lab, Inc.). 1, 2, 13 This allows F2-IsoP to be more advantageous than traditional plasma stress biomarkers. This report describes the changes in urinary F2-IsoP levels as well as mental health parameters in a stressed cohort of PTSD combat veterans who received IAB treatment.
