Free radicals in carcinogenesis.
It has become clear since the workshop that free radicals are implicated not only in the promotion phase of carcinogenesis but during initiation as well. Since the workshop, however, despite intriguing trapping studies with Superoxide disimilase. catalase, and Cu-DIPS [copper(II)(3,5-diisopropylsalicylate)2] and generation of OJ using xanthine oxidase, little substantive evidence has been obtai...
متن کاملOxygen radicals and asbestos carcinogenesis.
Asbestos fibers have been shown to generate reactive oxygen species using a variety of in vitro assays. It is hypothesized that these highly reactive metabolites mediate the development of malignant mesothelioma induced by asbestos fibers. DNA is a potential target of oxidant attack. Adaptive responses to oxidant injury have been described during exposure of mesothelial cells to asbestos fibers...
متن کاملThe effects of 2-acetylaminofluorene and nitrite on free radicals and carcinogenesis in rat liver.
The intensity of the abnormal electron spin resonance signal previously observed in the livers of rats which were fed various chemical carcinogens is found to depend on the intake of the carcinogen, protein, and nitrate or nitrite. Nitrite enhances the intensity of the abnormal electron spin resonance signal and inhibits the carcinogenicity of 2-acetylaminofluorene. The appearance of the signal...
متن کاملGinkgo biloba leave extract: biological, medicinal, and toxicological effects.
Ginkgo biloba leave extract is among the most widely sold herbal dietary supplements in the United States. Its purported biological effects include: scavenging free radical; lowering oxidative stress; reducing neural damages, reducing platelets aggregation; anti-inflammation; anti-tumor activities; and anti-aging. Clinically, it has been prescribed to treat CNS disorders such as Alzheimer's dis...
متن کاملStudying humane endpoints in a rat model of mammary carcinogenesis
Objective(s): The present work intended to clearly define the most adequate humane endpoints in an experimental assay of mammary carcinogenesis in rats. Materials and Methods: Animals were observed twice a day; all parameters were registered once a week and the euthanasia endpoints were established in order to monitor the animal welfare/...
