Prevention of H2O2-induced red blood cell lipid peroxidation and hemolysis by aqueous extracted turmeric.
The protective effect of the aqueous extracted turmeric antioxidant protein on H2O2-induced red blood cell lipid peroxidation and hemolysis was investigated. Turmeric antioxidant protein inhibited lipid peroxidation and hemolysis by 70% and 80%, respectively, and was found to be more effective as an antioxidant than were -tocopherol and curcumin.
متن کاملProtective effect of flavonoids against red blood cell hemolysis by free radicals.
BACKGROUND Flavonoids are polyphenolic substances with antioxidant properties, and they are found in different vegetables and fruits. Epidemiological studies have shown that the consumption of flavonoids reduces the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. The use of synthetic antioxidants, however, has been limited because of their toxicity. Therefore, medical researchers have intensified their ...
متن کاملSickle Cell Trait Increases Red Blood Cell Storage Hemolysis and Post-Transfusion Clearance in Mice
BACKGROUND Transfusion of blood at the limits of approved storage time is associated with lower red blood cell (RBC) post-transfusion recovery and hemolysis, which increases plasma cell-free hemoglobin and iron, proposed to induce endothelial dysfunction and impair host defense. There is noted variability among donors in the intrinsic rate of storage changes and RBC post-transfusion recovery, y...
متن کاملHemolysis of Human Red Blood Cells by Riboflavin–Cu(II) System: Enhancement by Azide Running title: AZIDE ENHANCES RBC HEMOLYSIS
Photoactivated riboflavin in the presence of Cu(II) generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) which can hemolyze human red blood cells (RBC). In the present work we examined the effect of sodium azide (NaN3) on RBC in the presence of riboflavin and Cu(II). The addition of NaN3 to the riboflavin–Cu(II) system enhanced K loss and hemolysis. The extent of K loss and hemolysis were time and concentra...
متن کاملEffects of sulfhydryl inhibition on red blood cells. I. Mechanism of hemolysis.
Evidence is presented that the activity of the hexose monophosphate (HMP) pathway of red cells, assayed by r4C02 production from glucose-lJ4C, is regulated primarily by glutathione. Methemoglobin had little, if any, effect on the activity of this pathway. Increasing the ratio of oxidized to reduced glutathione, either by peroxidizing GSH to GSSG or by partially blocking GSH with NEM, increased ...
