Role of Superoxide Anion Radicals
The discovery that macrophages metabolize ethanol to acetate in vitro may be of importance in understanding the pathogenesis of ethanol-induced tissue damage (1) . When expressed per unit wet weight, the rate of metabolism ofethanol by these cells is comparable to that by hepatocytes (2) . Studies of human and murine macrophages derived from various tissues have revealed that ethanol oxidation ...
متن کاملEffect of superoxide anion scavenger on rat hearts with chronic intermittent hypoxia.
Only very limited information regarding the protective effects of the superoxide anion scavenger on chronic intermittent hypoxia-induced cardiac apoptosis is available. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the superoxide anion scavenger on cardiac apoptotic and prosurvival pathways in rats with sleep apnea. Forty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups, rats wi...
متن کاملRole of superoxide anion radicals in ethanol metabolism by blood monocyte-derived human macrophages
The effects of a number of additives on the rate of conversion of ethanol (1 mg/ml; 21.7 mM) to acetate by monolayers of blood monocyte-derived human macrophages were investigated. The additives studied were superoxide dismutase (SOD; 1,500 U/ml), catalase (1,500 U/ml), tetrahydrofurane (20 mM), and PMA (20 nM), either singly or in various combinations. SOD, catalase, SOD plus catalase, tetrahy...
متن کاملGeneration of superoxide anion radicals and platelet glutathione peroxidase activity in patients with schizophrenia
Blood platelets are considered to be a peripheral marker in schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. Oxidative stress in schizophrenia may be responsible for changes in platelet metabolism and function; therefore, the aim of this study was to examine and compare the generation of superoxide anions and activity of an antioxidant enzyme (glutathione peroxidase [GPx]) in blood platelets in p...
متن کاملSuperoxide anion radicals induce IGF-1 resistance through concomitant activation of PTP1B and PTEN
The evolutionarily conserved IGF-1 signalling pathway is associated with longevity, metabolism, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression. Its regulation relies on the delicate balance between activating kinases and suppressing phosphatases and is still not very well understood. We report here that IGF-1 signalling in vitro and in a murine ageing model in vivo is suppressed in response to accu...
