Staphylococcal response to oxidative stress
Staphylococci are a versatile genus of bacteria that are capable of causing acute and chronic infections in diverse host species. The success of staphylococci as pathogens is due in part to their ability to mitigate endogenous and exogenous oxidative and nitrosative stress. Endogenous oxidative stress is a consequence of life in an aerobic environment; whereas, exogenous oxidative and nitrosati...
متن کاملFerritin and the response to oxidative stress.
Iron is required for normal cell growth and proliferation. However, excess iron is potentially harmful, as it can catalyse the formation of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) via Fenton chemistry. For this reason, cells have evolved highly regulated mechanisms for controlling intracellular iron levels. Chief among these is the sequestration of iron in ferritin. Ferritin is a 24 subunit protein...
متن کاملYeast oxidative stress response
Aerobic organisms are constantly exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated as normal metabolism byproducts, especially by respiration [1,2]. To modulate ROS concentrations and to counteract their deleterious effects, there are several antioxidant systems with an apparent functional redundancy, which may provide an evolutionary advantage. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells possess multiple...
متن کاملBiphasic Response to Luteolin in MG-63 Osteoblast-Like Cells under High Glucose‑Induced Oxidative Stress
Background: Clinical evidence indicates the diabetes-induced impairment of osteogenesis caused by a decrease in osteoblast activity. Flavonoids can increase the differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts in a high-glucose state. However, some flavonoids such as luteolin may have the potential to induce cytotoxicity in osteoblast-like cells. This study was performed to investigate whether...
متن کاملEvaluation of gender-related differences in response to oxidative stress in toxoplasma gondii positive serum
Purpose: Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis. It infects up to one third of the human population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of T. gondii infection on induction of oxidative stress in serum of infected men and women. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was carried out on 150 individuals who had referred to our center ...
