Spontaneous Cell Luminescence and Oxidative Metabolism

Effect of maternal variable stress on oxidative status and glucose metabolism in pubertal male rats

Introduction: Metabolic disorders are affected by negative stress experiences in the early stages of life. Accordingly, in this study, the effects of stress during pregnancy on oxidative status and glucose homeostasis in pubertal male Wistar rats were investigated. Materials and Methods: After pregnancy, female rats (200±30 g) were divided into 2 groups (6 rats per group) of stress and non-stre...

Oxidative metabolism in cancer

STAT3 and STAT5 (STAT3/5) proteins are crucial mediators of cytokine- or growth factor-induced cell survival and proliferation. These transcription factors are frequently overactivated in a variety of solid tumors and hematopoietic neoplasms and are targets of various oncogenes with tyrosine kinase activity. STAT3/5 proteins regulate expression of genes involved in survival and proliferation in...

Assessment of oxidative metabolism.

Oxidative metabolism is one of the central physiological processes that regulate multiple functions in a cell including cell death and survival, proliferation, gene transcription, and protein modification. There are multitudes of techniques that are used to evaluate oxidative activity. Here, we summarize how to measure oxidative activity by flow cytometry. This versatile technique allows the ev...

Oxidative metabolism of dermatophytes.

A method for preparing young, actively respiring dermatophyte mycelia was obtained through the use of concentrated spore inocula and short growth periods in static culture. These hyphal elements were uniform in appearance, and vacuoles were absent. Concentrated mycelial suspensions were obtained which could be transferred easily and accurately. Glucose stimulated oxygen uptake in young mycelia ...
