Protective Mechanisms against Reactive Oxygen Species
The liver is the major organ for removal of intestinally derived bacteria and toxic compounds, such as endotoxin, oxidants, and pro-oxidants. To detoxify these hazardous compounds, the liver contains high levels of low molecular weight antioxidants and enzymes that degrade reactive oxygen species. Reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamin C, vitamin E, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidas...
متن کاملO 22: Reactive Oxygen Species and Epilepsy
Seizure activity has been proposed to result in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which then contribute to seizure-induced neuronal damage and eventually cell death. Although the mechanisms of seizure-induced ROS generation are unclear, mitochondria and cellular calcium overload have been proposed to have a crucial role. We aim to determine the sources of seizure-induced ROS and ...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species in the vasculature: molecular and cellular mechanisms.
Accumulating evidence indicates that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play major roles in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular dysfunction associated with diseases such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and chronic heart failure. ROS produced by migrating inflammatory cells as well as vascular cells (endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle ce...
متن کاملMolecular identification of uncommon clinical yeast species in Iran
Background and Purpose: By using advanced detection/identification methods, the list of emerging uncommon opportunistic yeast infections is rapidly expanding worldwide. Our aim in the present study was sequence-based species delineation of previously unidentified yeasts obtained from a clinically yeast collection. Materials and Methods: A total of twenty three out of the 855 (5.7%) yeast isolat...
متن کاملA molecular mechanism of pyruvate protection against cytotoxicity of reactive oxygen species in osteoblasts.
We demonstrated previously that exogenous pyruvate has a protective action against cell death by hydrogen peroxide in cultured osteoblasts through a mechanism associated with its antioxidative property. In the present study, we have evaluated possible participation of monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) responsible for the bidirectional membrane transport of pyruvate in the cytoprotective prope...
