Alpha-lipoic acid supplementation protects enzymes from damage by nitrosative and oxidative stress.
BACKGROUND S-nitrosylation of mitochondrial enzymes involved in energy transfer under nitrosative stress may result in ATP deficiency. We investigated whether α-lipoic acid, a powerful antioxidant, could alleviate nitrosative stress by regulating S-nitrosylation, which could result in retaining the mitochondrial enzyme activity. METHODS In this study, we have identified the S-nitrosylated for...
متن کاملthe aesthetic dimension of howard barkers art: a frankfurtian approach to scenes from an execution and no end of blame
رابطه ی میانِ هنر و شرایطِ اجتماعیِ زایش آن همواره در طولِ تاریخ دغدغه ی ذهنی و دل مشغولیِ اساسیِ منتقدان و نیز هنرمندان بوده است. از آنجا که هنر در قفس آهنیِ زندگیِ اجتماعی محبوس است، گسترش وابستگیِ آن با نهاد ها و اصولِ اجتماعی پیرامون، صرفِ نظر از هم سو بودن و یا غیرِ هم سو بودنِ آن نهاد ها، امری اجتناب ناپذیر به نظر می رسد. با این وجود پدیدار گشتنِ چنین مباحثِ حائز اهمییتی در میان منتقدین، با ظهورِ مکتب ما...
Electrochemically Reduced Water Protects Neural Cells from Oxidative Damage
Aging-related neurodegenerative disorders are closely associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stresses and their incidence tends to increase with aging. Brain is the most vulnerable to reactive species generated by a higher rate of oxygen consumption and glucose utilization compared to other organs. Electrochemically reduced water (ERW) was demonstrated to scavenge reactive oxyg...
متن کاملMolecular insights into the biosynthesis of the F420 coenzyme.
Coenzyme F(420), a hydride carrier, is found in Archaea and some bacteria and has crucial roles in methanogenesis, antibiotic biosynthesis, DNA repair, and activation of antitubercular compounds. CofD, 2-phospho-l-lactate transferase, catalyzes the last step in the biosynthesis of F(420)-0 (F(420) without polyglutamate), by transferring the lactyl phosphate moiety of lactyl(2)diphospho-(5')guan...
متن کاملCeO2 catalysed conversion of CO, NO2 and NO from first principles energetics.
First principles calculations using density functional theory with corrections for on-site Coulomb interactions (DFT + U) are presented in which we compute the energy for the conversion of CO to CO(2), NO(2) to NO and NO to N(2) over ceria surfaces. The surface sensitivity is discussed on the basis of the vacancy formation energies.
