Deoxyamphimedine, a Pyridoacridine Alkaloid, Damages DNA via the Production of Reactive Oxygen Species
Marine pyridoacridines are a class of aromatic chemicals that share an 11H-pyrido[4,3,2-mn]acridine skeleton. Pyridoacridine alkaloids display diverse biological activities including cytotoxicity, fungicidal and bactericidal properties, production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and topoisomerase inhibition. These activities are often dependent on slight modifications to the pyridoacridine ske...
متن کاملAdipocyte Reactive Oxygen Species Production
SUN, XIAOCUN AND MICHAEL B. ZEMEL. 1 ,25Dihydroxyvitamin D3 modulation of adipocyte reactive oxygen species production. Obesity. 2007;15:1944–1953. Objective: We have previously shown 1 ,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1 ,25-(OH)2D3] to inhibit mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) expression in adipocytes and that in vivo suppression of calcitriol levels with calcium-rich diets increases UCP2 expr...
متن کاملCysteine protects rabbit spermatozoa against reactive oxygen species-induced damages
The process of cryopreservation results in over-production of reactive oxygen species, which is extremely detrimental to spermatozoa. The aim of this study was to investigate whether addition of cysteine to freezing extender would facilitate the cryosurvival of rabbit spermatozoa, and if so, how cysteine protects spermatozoa from cryodamages. Freshly ejaculated semen was diluted with Tris-citra...
متن کاملProduction of Reactive Oxygen Species by Mitochondria
The mitochondrial respiratory chain is a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) under pathological conditions including myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. Limitation of electron transport by the inhibitor rotenone immediately before ischemia decreases the production of ROS in cardiac myocytes and reduces damage to mitochondria. We asked if ROS generation by intact mitochondria during t...
متن کاملI-3: Reactive Oxygen Species: A Dilemma for
Spermatozoa are very special cells and constantly exposed to the interphase between oxidative stress through high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leukocytes, and reduction by means of scavengers and antioxidants. Considering the very special functions of spermatozoa as being the only cells with such high polarization and exerting their functions outside the body, even in a differen...
