Superoxide free radicals are produced in glyoxysomes.
The production of superoxide free radicals in pellet and supernatant fractions of glyoxysomes, specialized plant peroxisomes from watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris Schrad.) cotyledons, was investigated. Upon inhibition of the endogenous superoxide dismutase, xanthine, and hypoxanthine induced in glyoxysomal supernatants the generation of O(2) (-) radicals and this was inhibited by allopurinol. In ...
متن کاملRole 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 کاملReaction of substituted pyrimidines with photochemically generated t-BuO* radicals.
Humans are exposed to various organic peroxides through chemical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. On photolysis, these peroxides produce alkoxyl radicals and hydroxyl radicals. The reaction of *OH radicals with DNA and its constituents have been extensively studied, but very little is known about the reactions of alkoxyl radicals with DNA and its constituents. In view of this, the oxidati...
متن کاملHepatic confinement of newly produced erythrocytes caused by low-temperature exposure in Xenopus laevis.
Diminished erythrocyte count and erythropoiesis have been reported during hypothermia in some ectothermic animals. In this study, the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, was used to investigate the cause of hypothermia-induced anemia. We developed a new model of hypothermia at 5°C and monitored blood cell count and erythropoiesis on several days. Erythrocyte count declined by 30% on the first ...
متن کاملMitochondrial Superoxide Radicals and MnSOD
Mitochondria were isolated from skin fibroblast cultures derived from healthy individuals (controls) and from a group patients with complex I (NADH-CoQ reductase) deficiency of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The complex I deficient patients included those with fatal infantile lactic acidosis (FILA), cardiomyopathy with cataracts (CC), hepatopathy with tubulopathy (HT), Leigh’s disease (LD...
