Oxidative stress induces degradation of mitochondrial DNA
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is located in close proximity of the respiratory chains, which are the main cellular source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS can induce oxidative base lesions in mtDNA and are believed to be an important cause of the mtDNA mutations, which accumulate with aging and in diseased states. However, recent studies indicate that cumulative levels of base substitutions in...
متن کاملFlow Cytometric Chromosomal Sex Sorting of Stallion Spermatozoa Induces Oxidative Stress on Mitochondria and Genomic DNA.
To date, the only repeatable method to select spermatozoa for chromosomal sex is the Beltsville sorting technology using flow cytometry. Improvement of this technology in the equine species requires increasing awareness of the modifications that the sorting procedure induces on sperm intactness. Oxidative stress is regarded as the major damaging phenomenon, and increasing evidence regards handl...
متن کاملPlasma Assisted Decontamination of Bacterial Spores
The efficacy and mechanism of killing bacterial spores by a plasma torch is studied. Bacterial-spore (Bacillus cereus) suspension is inoculated onto glass/paper slide-coupons and desiccated into dry samples, and inoculated into well-microplate as wet sample. The exposure distance of all samples is 4 cm from the nozzle of the torch. In the experiment, paper slide-coupon is inserted inside an env...
متن کاملEditorial: Radiation-induced and oxidative DNA damages
The study of DNA lesions and changes, produced by interaction with UV or ionizing radiation and by the effects of oxidative stress, is a multidisciplinary research field in life sciences that has yelded exciting discoveries in the last few decades. The importance of this study is clearly enhanced by its strong societal impact, because of the connections of DNA lesions with carcinogenetic proces...
متن کاملThe Oxidative Damages Caused by Bacterial Growth in Foodstuffs
Obligate aerobes have respiratory metabolism with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor. Therefore, they can produce ROS and oxidative damages in foodstuff which is contaminated. The egg yolks were incubated with different dilution of standard of E.coli and lipid peroxidation was assayed. The level of lipid peroxidation of high group (10 7 ) was 0.061±0.01 as compared with control; 0.016±0.0...
