background: oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein (ldl) appears to be an early step in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. meanwhile, myeloperoxidase (mpo)-catalyzed reaction is one of the potent pathway for ldl oxidation in vivo. the aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro antioxidant effects of vitamins c and e on ldl oxidation mediated by mpo. methods: mpo was isolated from f...

a novel chemically modified electrode containing prussian blue complex was achieved on the surface of glass carbon electrode by sol-gel technique. the electrochemical behavior of modified electrode was characterized by cyclic voltammetry in detail. the film electrode obtained was very stable and exhibited electrocatalytic response for oxidation of nitrite. results showed at bare gc electrode, a...

coenzyme q10, a lipid soluble benzoquinone, has excellent antioxidant and membrane stabilizing properties in the cardiac tissue. the present study investigated the effects of coenzyme q10 on in vitro ldl oxidation quantitavely. the formation of conjugated dienes, malondialdehyde (mda) and electrophoretic mobility were monitored as markers of the oxidation of ldl, respectively. coenzyme q₁₀ show...

treatment of 10-bromoanthralin (1) with several thiophenols (2) gave the corresponding 10-arylthioanthralins (3) in high yields. oxidation of thioanthralins (3a-c) and (3k-m) using an excess of m-chloroperbenzoic acid gave the corresponding sulfones (4a-c) and (4k-m) in good yields. oxidation of thioanthralins (3d-f) gave a mixture of the corresponding sulfones (4d-f) and anthralin-10,10'-dehyd...

oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (ldl) has been strongly suggested as a key factor in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. thus, the inclusion of some anti-oxidant compounds in daily dietary food stuff may inhibit the production of oxidized ldl and may decrease both the development and the progression of atherosclerosis. the present work investigated the inhibitory effects of extract of all...

In order to improve the oxidation resistance of ferritic stainless steel, it is possible to deposit a protective coating on steel substrate. In this research through the usage of pack cementation method a coating of titanium was applied on the surface of AISI 430 stainless steel. Scanning Electron-Microscopy (SEM), Energy- Dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDAX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were us...

vanadium supported on highly ordered nanoporous silica (vox-lus-1) was synthesized and characterized by xrd, nitrogen adsorption‑desorption isotherms and uv-visible spectrophotometer. direct oxidation of benzene to phenol in liquid phase by h2o2 peroxide were examined by using various solvents (methanol, acetone, acetic acid, acetonitryl). the maximum yield (25%) and selectivity (73%) of the ph...

the kinetic of photo oxidative decolorization of c.i. acid yellow 23 (ay23) was investigated in uv/ process. the semi-logarithmic of the concentrations of ay23 versus irradiation time were linear, suggesting pseudo-first order reaction. a simple kinetic model is proposed which confirms pseudo- first order reaction. the results indicate that the apparent reaction rate constant is a function of l...
