It is a known fact that ethanol increases lipid levels in humans and experimental animals. In this study, we have investigated the effect of dendrodoine analogue (DA), DA-[4-amino-5-benzoyl-2-(4-methoxyphenylamino)-thiazole], on alcohol- and thermally oxidized sunflower oil-induced hyperlipidemia. Ethanol was given to animals at a dose of 5 ml of 20% solution and thermally oxidized sunflower oi...

neuroserpin, a member of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) superfamily, is known to be a neuroprotective factor in the focal ischemic stroke followed by reducing the microglial activation. neuroserpin is a protein rich of methionine residues that can scavenge the free radical species which may increase its neuroprotective effect. on the other hand, the oxidative modifications of the amin...

objective(s) oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-ldls) appear to play a significant role in atherogenesis. in fact, circulating ox-ldl concentrations have been recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (cvd). the main objectives of this study were to assess the effects of antioxidant vitamins on ox-ldl as a biomarker of cvd in male subjects with cvd risk factors. materials and me...

INTRODUCTION Application of oxidized regenerated cellulose is commonly performed in laparoscopy to achieve hemostasis during surgery. The appearance of an abscess resembles oxidized regenerated cellulose, causing imaging studies to be difficult to interpret. CASE DESCRIPTION We describe the cases of 3 patients who underwent oxidized regenerated cellulose placement during laparoscopic gynecolo...

Oxidation of PTH at methionine residues results in loss of biological activity. PTH may be oxidized in patients with renal disease. The aim of this study was to develop an assay considering oxidation of PTH. Oxidized hPTH was analyzed by high resolution nano-liquid chromatography coupled to ESI-FTT tandem mass spectrometry (nanoLC-ESI-FT-MS/MS) directly and after proteolytic cleavage. The oxidi...

Rice starch was cross-linked with epichlorohydrin (0.3%, w/w, on a dry starch basis) and oxidized with sodium hypochlorite (2.5% w/w), respectively. Two dual-modified rice starch samples (oxidized cross-linked rice starch and cross-linked oxidized rice starch) were obtained by the oxidation of cross-linked rice starch and the cross-linking of oxidized rice starch at the same level of reagents. ...

Oxidized lipoproteins may play a role in atherosclerosis. Recently, we have demonstrated that the levels of oxidized fatty acids in the circulation correlate directly with the quantity of oxidized fatty acids in the diet and that dietary oxidized fatty acids accelerate atherosclerosis in rabbits. The present study tests the hypothesis that oxidized cholesterol in the diet accelerates the develo...
