Oxidative damage to macromolecules in the thyroid - experimental evidence
Whereas oxidative reactions occur in all tissues and organs, the thyroid gland constitutes such an organ, in which oxidative processes are indispensable for thyroid hormone synthesis. It is estimated that huge amount of reactive oxygen species, especially of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), are produced in the thyroid under physiological conditions, justifying the statement that the thyroid gland is a...
متن کاملRadiation damage to macromolecules: kill or cure?
Radiation damage induced by X-ray beams during macromolecular diffraction experiments remains an issue of concern in structural biology. While advances in our understanding of this phenomenon, driven in part by a series of workshops in this area, undoubtedly have been and are still being made, there are still questions to be answered. Eight papers in this volume give a flavour of ongoing invest...
متن کاملEarly biochemical markers of effects: enzyme induction, oncogene activation and markers of oxidative damage.
Experimental carcinogenicity studies focus on identification of single carcinogens. Humans, however, appear exposed to a variety of low doses of carcinogens. Furthermore, few chemical entities are carcinogenic or toxic per se, but require metabolic activation to form ultimate carcinogens or toxins. In contrast to experimental animals, humans show considerable difference in genetic properties. I...
متن کاملNew Vistas on Oxidative Damage and Aging
Age-associated rises in oxidative damage are assumed to be a central phenomenon of aging. Their attenuation is an aim for both healthy aging and life extension. This review intends to critically discuss the potential of anti-oxidant actions, but even more to direct the attention to the modes of radical avoidance and to regulatory networks involved. Mitochondria seem to play a decisive role in r...
متن کاملOxidative lipid, protein, and DNA damage as oxidative stress markers in vascular complications of diabetes mellitus.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of diabetic complications on oxidation of proteins, lipids, and DNA and to investigate the relationship between oxidative damage markers and clinical parameters. METHODS The study group consisted of 69 type 2 diabetic patients (20 patients without complication, 49 patients with complication) who attended internal medicine outpatie...
