Superoxide Anion, Uncoupling Proteins and Alzheimer’s Disease
Superoxide anion is the first generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) after oxygen enters living cells. It was once considered to be highly deleterious to cell functions and aging. Therefore, antioxidants were suggested to prevent aging and degenerative diseases. However, superoxide signaling has been shown in many physiological responses such as transcriptional regulation, protein activation, ...
متن کاملMitochondrial superoxide and aging: uncoupling-protein activity and superoxide production.
Mitochondria are a major source of superoxide, formed by the one-electron reduction of oxygen during electron transport. Superoxide initiates oxidative damage to phospholipids, proteins and nucleic acids. This damage may be a major cause of degenerative disease and aging. In isolated mitochondria, superoxide production on the matrix side of the membrane is particularly high during reversed elec...
متن کاملNeutrophil Superoxide Anion Production
Superoxide and other oxygen radicals produced by activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) may be important causes of tissue damage in a number ofinflammatory conditions. Therefore, a drug which suppresses PMN responses in vivo is potentially important. In vitro, pentoxifylline (PTOX) inhibits superoxide anion production when PMN are stimulated with an activated complement component (C5a Des...
متن کاملMagnesium and Alzheimers Disease: The Cholinergic Hypothesis
The cholinergic deficit in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains the cornerstone for the understanding of chemical signal transfer. Hypofunctions of cholinergic systems are significantly involved in the signs and symptoms of senile dementia of the Alzheimer type. Cognitive deficits in AD have been widely associated with dysfunction of the cholinergic system. As a diagnostic marker of AD the activity...
متن کاملRole of Superoxide Anion Radicals
The discovery that macrophages metabolize ethanol to acetate in vitro may be of importance in understanding the pathogenesis of ethanol-induced tissue damage (1) . When expressed per unit wet weight, the rate of metabolism ofethanol by these cells is comparable to that by hepatocytes (2) . Studies of human and murine macrophages derived from various tissues have revealed that ethanol oxidation ...
