Hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion modulate pregnant human myometrial contractility.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have the propensity to cause macromolecular damage with consequent modification of cellular function. We investigated the effects of two particular oxidants, superoxide (O2(-)) anions and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), on oxytocin-induced myometrial contractility using biopsies from women undergoing Caesarean section at term gestation. Isometric tension recordings were ...
متن کاملIntracellular hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion detection in endothelial cells.
One of the objectives of studying endothelial cells in vitro is to evaluate neutrophil-endothelial cell interactions including potential consequences of oxidant-mediated damage to the endothelial cell. Current understanding of endothelial cell oxidative function is derived primarily from the measurement of extracellular products. We utilized 2 dyes, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA)...
متن کاملTREATED DOMESTIC SEWAGE: KINETICS OF Escherichia coli AND TOTAL COLIFORM INACTIVATION BY OXIDATION WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
Hydrogen peroxide has been used for decades in developed countries as an oxidizing agent in the treatment of water, domestic sewage and industrial effluents. This study evaluated the influence of the concentration of H2O2 and pH on the inactivation of Escherichia coli cells and the disinfection of sewage treated. The results showed that the inactivation rate increased with pH and H2O2. The pres...
متن کاملMicrosatellite instability induced by hydrogen peroxide in Escherichia coli.
Damage to DNA by reactive oxygen species may be a significant source of endogenous mutagenesis in aerobic organisms. Using a selective assay for microsatellite instability in E. coli, we have asked whether endogenous oxidative mutagenesis can contribute to genetic instability. Instability of repetitive sequences, both in intronic sequences and within coding regions, is a hallmark of genetic ins...
