Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition improves antioxidative defense during experimental hypercholesterolemia.
Scientific literature shows that inflammation and oxidative stress contribute in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The oxidative stress is the consequence of an imbalance between the free radical generation and elimination. One source of free oxygen radicals is cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and, therefore, inhibiting the activity of this enzyme is likely to reduce oxidative stress. In the present s...
متن کاملAntioxidative defense systems of anaerobic sulfate-reducing microorganisms
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are traditionally considered as strict anaerobic microorganisms. But there are a lot of data up to date about survival and metabolic activity of SRB in biotopes periodically exposed to oxygen. The main factor of O2 toxicity is the action of products of oxygen incomplete reduction, so called the reactive oxygen species (superoxide anion radical, hydrogen peroxide ...
متن کاملAntioxidative defense in endothelial cells: new kids on the block.
Thromb Haemost 2007; 97: 3–4 Antioxidative defense mechanisms can balance the formation of reactive oxygen species in a healthy endothelium.These antioxidative processes include scavenging (e.g. by vitamins C and E) or enzymatic degradation (e.g. by superoxide dismutases, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase). If this redox-sensitive equilibrium is altered by increased reactive oxygen species o...
متن کاملReduced enzymatic antioxidative defense in deep-sea fish.
Oxygen, while being an obligate fuel for aerobic life, has been shown to be toxic through its deleterious reactive species, which can cause oxidative stress and lead ultimately to cell and organism death. In marine organisms, reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as the superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide, are generated within respiring cells and tissues and also by photochemical processes in ...
متن کاملReactive Oxygen Species, Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidative Defense Mechanism
Lipid peroxidation can be defined as the oxidative deterioration of lipids containing any number of carbon-carbon double bonds. Lipid peroxidation is a well-established mechanism of cellular injury in both plants and animals, and is used as an indicator of oxidative stress in cells and tissues. Lipid peroxides are unstable and decompose to form a complex series of compounds including reactive c...
