The effects of methylmercury on mitochondrial function and reactive oxygen species formation in rat striatal synaptosomes are age-dependent.
Methylmercury (MeHg) is especially toxic to the developing central nervous system. In order to understand the reasons for this age-dependent vulnerability, we compared the effects of MeHg on formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial function in striatal synaptosomes obtained from rats of various ages. Basal ROS levels were greater, and basal mitochondrial function was lower, ...
متن کاملTenellin acts as an iron chelator to prevent iron-generated reactive oxygen species toxicity in the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana.
Iron is an essential element for life. However, the iron overload can be toxic. Here, we investigated the significant increase of tenellin and iron-tenellin complex production in ferricrocin-deficient mutants of Beauveria bassiana. Our chemical analysis indicated that the ferricrocin-deficient mutants T1, T3 and T5 nearly abolished ferricrocin production. In turn, these mutants had significant ...
متن کاملRhizosphere carbon deposition, oxidative stress and nutritional changes in two poplar species exposed to aluminum.
Species and hybrids in the genus Populus have become the focus of investigation for use in biofuels production and their capacity to sequester carbon (C) in the environment. The identification of species resistant to marginal edaphic sites may be important in both of these endeavors. Plant growth, total dissolved organic carbon (TOC) and low molecular weight organic acid (OA) production, antiox...
متن کامل[Active oxygen species and asbestos toxicity].
It has been demonstrated that active oxygen species is involved in inflammation, immunologic disorders, cancer, etc. Along this line, biological effects of asbestos have been investigated. The results of these studies can be classified into two groups. The first is based on researches on hydroxy radical, the most active oxygen species which originates through the catalytic reaction of asbestos ...
متن کاملIdentification of Intracellular Sources Responsible for Endogenous Reactive Oxygen Species Formation
The endogenous reactive oxygen species ("ROS") formation is associated with many pathologic states such as inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, brain and heart ischemic injuries, cancer, and aging. The purpose of this study was to investigate the endogenous sources for "ROS" formation in intact isolated rat hepatocytes, in particular, peroxisomal oxidases, monoamine oxidase, xanth...
