Preeclamptic superoxide-anion production: is there an increase or a failure of reduction?
Preeclamptic Superoxide-Anion Production: Is There an Increase or a Failure of Reduction? To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Tsukimori et al1 analyzing the relationship between the superoxide-anion (O2 ) production of neutrophils during pregnancy in women with preeclampsia and essential hypertension. The results of the study demonstrated that n-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylala...
متن کاملNeutrophil Superoxide Anion Production
Superoxide and other oxygen radicals produced by activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) may be important causes of tissue damage in a number ofinflammatory conditions. Therefore, a drug which suppresses PMN responses in vivo is potentially important. In vitro, pentoxifylline (PTOX) inhibits superoxide anion production when PMN are stimulated with an activated complement component (C5a Des...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a) induces glomerular superoxide anion production.
BACKGROUND Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is considered to accelerate glomerular injury in various forms of renal disease. Several tissue culture studies suggested that biological effects of Lp(a) are inhibitable by oxygen radical scavengers. Since reactive oxygen metabolites (ROM) are important mediators of renal disease, we studied the effects of native and oxidized Lp(a) on generation of the ROM sup...
متن کاملIntracisternal increase of superoxide anion production in a canine subarachnoid hemorrhage model.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are thought to be primary in the pathogenesis of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, as direct evidence of ROS has not yet been demonstrated in cerebral vasospasm, we sought to substantiate superoxide anion (.O(2)(-)) generation in the subarachnoid space after SAH using a modification of Karnovsky's manganese/diam...
متن کاملHypercholesterolemia increases endothelial superoxide anion production.
Indirect evidence suggests accelerated degradation of endothelium-derived nitric oxide (ENDO) by superoxide anion (O2-) in hypercholesterolemic vessels (HV). To directly measure O2- production by normal vessels (NV) and HV, we used an assay for O2- based on the chemiluminescence (CL) of lucigenin (L). HV (1 mo cholesterol-fed rabbits) produced threefold more O2- than NV (1.47 +/- 0.20 nM/mg tis...
