BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The redox system is an important anti-oxidative system composed of thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, and peroxiredoxin (PRx). The fine details of PRx expression and its protective effects in various cells in cardiovascular tissue under oxidative stress created by hydrogen peroxide have not been fully elucidated. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Oxidative stress was induced by ...

background and aim(s): it is highly important for dentists to be aware of the effects of bleaching agents on the surface and mechanical properties of restorative materials. so, the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of different bleaching strategies on the microhardness of a silorane-based composite resin. materials and methods: eighty samples of a silorane-based composite r...

Proper seed germination is important for seedling establishment and growth in fields under drought caused by climate change. In the present study, beneficial effects of hydrogen peroxide on were investigated proteome analysis. Sorghum seeds subjected to stress adjusted various water potentials 0, −0.2, −0.5 MPa using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 treated with at different concentrations (0, 10...

Two new peptides derived from seaweed pipefish Syngnathus schlegeli, SPP-1(QLGNLGV) and SPP-2 (SVMPVVA) were assessed for their ability to prevent hydrogen peroxide induced oxidative stress in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). Both peptides showed a significant hydroxyl radical scavenging activity when tested by ESR technique. And also the peptides effectively suppressed the hydrogen peroxide in...

A feasible and fast method to fabricate hydrogen peroxide sensor was investigated by graphene-manganase nanocomposite carbone paste electrode. In the present work, in first step, the graphene was synthesized by chemical method and in second step, manganese oxide nanoparticle was doped on graphene. graphene-manganase nanocomposite was characterized by FTIR and SEM. The nanocomposite shows a high...

Glycerophosphate (GP)-dependent, ferricyanide-induced hydrogen peroxide production was studied in brown adipose tissue mitochondria from newborn rats. Relations between the rate of hydrogen peroxide production and total amount of hydrogen peroxide produced at different GP and ferricyanide concentrations were determined. It was found that the rate of hydrogen peroxide production increases with i...

One important aspect of oxidant injury is the enhancement of neutrophil-endothelial adhesion by oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide. Recent studies suggest that nitric oxide (NO) can limit oxidant-mediated tissue injury, since inhibitors of endogenous NO synthesis often promote neutrophil-endothelial adhesion. However, less is known about the direct role of exogenous NO in modulating proadhesive...

The function(s) of soluble silicates in repulpinghashing and flotation deinking of waste newsprint/magazine were investigated extensively, under optimized conditions. During repulping/washing, silicate ’s response was characteristic of a buffer and a detergent. It was responsible for a 3.0% increase in I S 0 brightness. In repulping/flotation, silicate accounted for a 6.1% increase in I S 0 bri...
