Interactions between Lipid Peroxides and Nitrogen Compounds

Peroxides and Peroxide Forming Compounds

Inorganic and organic peroxides, because of their exceptional reactivity and oxidative potential are widely used in research laboratories. This review is intended to serve as a guide to the hazards and safety issues associated with the laboratory use, handling, and storage of inorganic and organic peroxy-compounds and peroxide-forming compounds. The relatively weak oxygen-oxygen linkage (bond-d...

An accurate benchmark description of the interactions between carbon dioxide and polyheterocyclic aromatic compounds containing nitrogen.

We assessed the performance of a large variety of modern density functional theory approaches for the adsorption of carbon dioxide on molecular models of pyridinic N-doped graphene. Specifically, we selected eight polyheterocyclic aromatic compounds ranging from pyridine and pyrazine to 1,6-diazacoronene and investigated their complexes with CO2 for a large range of intermolecular distances and...

Plant allocation to defensive compounds: interactions between elevated CO(2) and nitrogen in transgenic cotton plants.

Plant allocation to defensive compounds in response to growth in elevated atmospheric CO(2) in combination with two levels of nitrogen was examined. The aim was to discover if allocation patterns of transgenic plants containing genes for defensive chemicals which had not evolved in the species would respond as predicted by the Carbon Nutrient Balance (CNB) hypothesis. Cotton plants (Gossypium h...

Lipid peroxides level in the Indonesian elderly

A cross-sectional study was done to see the possible association of plasma lipid peroxides in the elderly with age and other factors. Plasma lipid peroxides is a product of free radical reactions which according to the latest theory of aging is the cause of aging process. Lipid peroxides were also found high in coronary heart disease. Four hundred forty relatively healthy elderly, age 55-85 yea...
