Oxygen toxicity: an introduction.
Although oxygen has been known to be toxic for more than 200 years, the clinical importance of oxygen toxicity was not appreciated until an epidemic of retrolental fibroplasia occurred in the early 1950s. Oxygen at high partial pressures is toxic to the respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, and gastrointestinal systems. Toxicity results from the formation of oxygen-free radicals. These arise wi...
متن کاملIntroduction—target organ toxicity
The effects of progressive cachexia on protein metabolism in skeletal muscle has been investigated in mice bearing the MAC 16 adenocarcinoma which produces cachexia with tumour burdens of <1% of the host weight. Weight loss was accompanied by loss of whole body nitrogen in proportion to the overall loss of body mass. Using L-[4-3H]phenylalanine to label proteins in gastrocnemious muscle, a sign...
متن کاملPrenatal programming of postnatal plasticity?
Evidence indicates that maternal prenatal distress predicts problematic health and behavioral outcomes in children as well as infant/child cortisol levels and negative emotionality as reviewed here. Evidence that these physiological and behavioral characteristics themselves moderate environmental effects on development in a "for better and for worse" manner consistent with Belsky's differential...
متن کاملMaternal glucocorticoids and prenatal programming of hypertension.
Maternal glucocorticoids have been postulated to play an important role in prenatal programming for adult hypertension in the offspring. However, we have shown previously that offspring hypertension caused by maternal dexamethasone subcutaneous administration at 100 microg x kg(-1) x day(-1) can be accounted for by the corresponding reduction in food intake that these mothers experience. The pr...
متن کاملPrenatal glucocorticoids and long-term programming.
Epidemiological evidence suggests that low birth weight is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular, metabolic and neuroendocrine disorders in adult life. Glucocorticoid administration during pregnancy reduces offspring birth weight and alters the maturation of the lung and other organs. We hypothesised that prenatal exposure to excess glucocorticoids or stress might represent a mech...
