Reactive oxygen and targeted antioxidant administration in endothelial cell mitochondria.
We used fluorescent probes and EPR to study the mechanism(s) underlying reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by endothelial cell mitochondria and the action of mitoquinol, a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant. ROS measured by fluorescence resulted from complex I superoxide released to the matrix and converted to H(2)O(2). In contrast, EPR largely detected superoxide generated at complex III ...

متن کاملMitochondria Mitochondria-Targeted Antioxidant MitoQ10 Improves Endothelial Function and Attenuates Cardiac Hypertrophy
Mitochondria are a major site of reactive oxygen species production, which may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. Protecting mitochondria from oxidative damage should be an effective therapeutic strategy; however, conventional antioxidants are ineffective, because they cannot penetrate the mitochondria. This study investigated the role of mitochondrial oxidative stress dur...
متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species and Antioxidant in Seminal Plasma and Their Impact on Male Fertility
Spermatozoa generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in physiological amounts which play a role in sperm functions during sperm capacitation acrosome reaction (AR) and oocyte fusion. In addition damaged sperm are likely to be the source of ROS. The most important ROS produced by human sperm are hydrogen peroxide superoxide anion and hydroxyl radicals. Besides human seminal plasma and sperm posses...
متن کاملCardiac mitochondria and reactive oxygen species generation.
Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as an important mechanism of disease and redox signaling in the cardiovascular system. Under basal or pathological conditions, electron leakage for ROS production is primarily mediated by the electron transport chain and the proton motive force consisting of a membrane potential (ΔΨ) and a proton gradient (ΔpH). Several factors controllin...
