Metals, toxicity and oxidative stress.
Metal-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity, with an emphasis on the generation and role of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, is reviewed. Metal-mediated formation of free radicals causes various modifications to DNA bases, enhanced lipid peroxidation, and altered calcium and sulfhydryl homeostasis. Lipid peroxides, formed by the attack of radicals on polyunsaturated fatty acid residues of p...
متن کاملAssessment of Anticholinesterase Toxicity, Oxidative Stress and Antioxidant Status in Carbamate and Organophosphorus Pesticides- Exposed Agricultural Workers
Among the numerous pesticides, anticholinesterase compounds are widely used. Their toxicity induced by cholinesterase inhibition at the synapses and neuromuscular junctions, leading to neurological disorders. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) has been used as sensitive biomarkers for pesticides exposure. In the present study, AChE and BuChE levels were ...
متن کاملOxidative Stress and Metal Ion Toxicity
15 16 The thiol-containing tripeptide glutathione is an important cellular constituent of many 17 eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In addition to its disulfide reductase activity, 18 glutathione is known to protect cells from many forms of physiological stress. This 19 report represents the first investigation into the role of glutathione in the Gram-positive 20 pathogen, Streptococcus pneumon...
متن کاملDrug-Induced Oxidative Stress and Toxicity
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a byproduct of normal metabolism and have roles in cell signaling and homeostasis. Species include oxygen radicals and reactive nonradicals. Mechanisms exist that regulate cellular levels of ROS, as their reactive nature may otherwise cause damage to key cellular components including DNA, protein, and lipid. When the cellular antioxidant capacity is exceeded, o...
متن کاملOxidative Stress on Male Reproductive Toxicity
Globally Harmonized System defines Reproductive Toxicity as “an adverse effects (of chemicals) on sexual function and fertility in adult males and females, as well as developmental toxicity in the offspring.” Several toxicity assessment studies have been performed taking into account the action of toxicants on reproductive activity. Testis is the main organ of male reproductive system and sperm...
