Oxygen-based free radical generation by ferrous ions and deferoxamine.
Deferoxamine accelerates the autooxidation of iron as measured by the rapid disappearance of Fe2+, the associated appearance of Fe3+, and the uptake of oxygen. Protons are released in the reaction. The formation of H2O2 was detected by the horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of scopoletin, and the formation of hydroxyl radicals (OH.) was suggested by the formation of the OH. spin trap ad...
متن کاملOxygen-Derived Free Radical Generation During Ischemia and Reperfusion
It has been suggested that oxygen-derived free radicals may contribute to the myocardial injury associated with ischemia and reperfusion. As the presence of enhanced free radical generation is a prerequisite for such damage, several techniques have been used to provide evidence of increased oxygen free radical production during reperfusion; however, all such techniques have substantial limitati...
متن کاملSpontaneous oxygen radical generation by sickle erythrocytes.
Since the various membrane abnormalities of sickle erythrocytes might result from excessive accumulation of oxidant damage, we have measured the generation of superoxide, peroxide, and hydroxyl radical by normal and sickle erythrocytes using assays involving reduction of cytochrome c, aminotriazole inhibition of catalase, and methane evolution from dimethyl sulfoxide, respectively. Compared wit...
متن کاملTreatment with deferoxamine during ischemia improves functional and metabolic recovery and reduces reperfusion-induced oxygen radical generation in rabbit hearts.
BACKGROUND Iron may play a central role in oxygen radical generation during myocardial ischemia and after reperfusion. Because conditions during ischemia may also liberate iron, we hypothesized that administration of the iron chelator deferoxamine during ischemia would result in improved functional and metabolic recovery after postischemic reperfusion. METHODS AND RESULTS Isolated, perfused r...
متن کاملAscorbate both activates and inactivates bleomycin by free radical generation.
The chemotherapeutic agent bleomycin (BLM) is activated by reducing agents to break isolated DNA. Paradoxically, these same reducing agents protect cellular DNA from BLM damage. To resolve this paradox, we have examined the reaction of FeIIIBLM with DNA in the presence of ascorbate. As expected, ascorbate augments FeIIIBLM-induced DNA damage. However, when ascorbate is added to FeIIIBLM prior t...
