Exploring the oxidative stress response mechanism triggered by environmental water samples

Diabetes and Oxidative Stress: The Mechanism and Action

Abstract Diabetes mellitus is one of the major metabolic disorders. Diabetes is recognized for severe complications including diabetic nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy. Long-lasting effect of hyperglycemia results in increased oxidative stress. Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between radical-generating and radical scavenging systems. Increased oxidative stress has been shown ...

Oxidative Stress – Environmental Induction

Detection and enumeration of Cryptosporidium oocysts in environmental water samples by Real-time PCR assay

Introduction: The protozoan parasite, Cryptosporidium Spp., widely spreads in both raw and drinking waters. It is the causative agents of waterborne diarrhea and gastroenteritis in the world. In the present study, a molecular assay was used for the detection and quantification of Cryptosporidium oocysts in environmental water samples. Materials and methods: Thirty surface water samples wer...

Yeast oxidative stress response

Aerobic organisms are constantly exposed to reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated as normal metabolism byproducts, especially by respiration [1,2]. To modulate ROS concentrations and to counteract their deleterious effects, there are several antioxidant systems with an apparent functional redundancy, which may provide an evolutionary advantage. Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells possess multiple...
