The role of oxygen free radicals in occupational and environmental lung diseases.
Oxygen free radicals and their metabolites, collectively described as reactive oxygen species (ROS), have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases. The pulmonary system is particularly vulnerable to ROS-induced injury because of its continuous exposure to toxic pollutants from a wide variety of sources in the ambient air. Additionally, lungs are exposed systemically to ROS generated...
متن کاملFree Radicals in Cardiovascular Diseases
During the past several years, there has been a growing interest in the medical implications of free radicals. These chemical entities are common by-products of many oxidative biochemical reactions in the cell. Free radicals are essential to a number of normal biochemical and physiological processes. They are too reactive to be tolerated in living tissue, and aerobic organisms use sophisticated...
متن کاملOxygen derived free radicals in patients with chronic pancreatic and other digestive diseases.
To ascertain modifications in the activation products derived from oxygen free radicals in patients with chronic pancreatic and extra-pancreatic diseases, lipid peroxide activity was measured in the sera of 40 control subjects, 28 patients with pancreatic cancer, 49 with chronic pancreatitis, and 53 with extra-pancreatic diseases. In 142 of the subjects, elastase 1, amylase, and pancreatic isoa...
متن کاملBiochemistry of Oxygen and Its Free Radicals
Thrombolytic treatment in acute myocardial infarction achieves coronary patency in most patients.' Mortality in groups treated early after the onset of symptoms is significantly reduced,' but left ventricular function does not always improve.5 Myocardial necrosis during the period of vessel occlusion is partly responsible for the irreversible ventricular impairment that occurs even when the ves...
متن کاملOxygen free radicals and congestive heart failure.
Plasma lipid peroxides (malondialdehyde) and thiols were measured in 45 patients with congestive heart failure and 45 controls. Malondialdehyde concentrations were significantly higher in the patients with congestive heart failure (median 9.0 nmol/ml interquartile range (IQR) 7.9-10.2) than in the controls (median 7.7 nmol/ml (IQR 6.9-9.2)). Plasma thiols were significantly lower in congestive ...
