Xanthine oxidoreductase-catalyzed reactive species generation: A process in critical need of reevaluation☆
Nearly 30 years have passed since the discovery of xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) as a critical source of reactive species in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Since then, numerous inflammatory disease processes have been associated with elevated XOR activity and allied reactive species formation solidifying the ideology that enhancement of XOR activity equates to negative clinical outcomes. However,...
متن کاملXanthine Oxidoreductase-Derived Reactive Species: Physiological and Pathological Effects.
Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is the enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid and is widely distributed among species. In addition to this housekeeping function, mammalian XOR is a physiological source of superoxide ion, hydrogen peroxide, and nitric oxide, which can function as second messengers in the activation of various pathways. This review...
متن کاملHypertension, nitrate-nitrite, and xanthine oxidoreductase catalyzed nitric oxide generation: pros and cons.
Hypertension, Nitrate-Nitrite, and Xanthine Oxidoreductase Catalyzed Nitric Oxide Generation: Pros and Cons We read with great interest the article by Ghosh et al1 on the use of beetroot juice as a potential therapy for hypertension. This article proposes the intriguing concept that dietary nitrate in beetroot juice can be converted into therapeutically beneficial nitric oxide (NO) for use in t...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species generation and use of antioxidants during in vitro maturation of oocytes: a Review
In vitro maturation (IVM) is emerging as a popular technology at the forefront of fertility treatment and preservation. However, standard in vitro culture conditions usually increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), which have been implicated as one of the major causes for reduced embryonic developmental competence. It is well-known that higher than physiological levels of ROS triggers granulosa ...
متن کاملXanthine oxidoreductase in respiratory and cardiovascular disorders.
In addition to its critical role in purine metabolism, xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) has been implicated in the development of tissue oxidative damage in a wide variety of respiratory and cardiovascular disorders such as acute lung injury, ischemia-reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis, heart failure, and arterial hypertension. Although much remains to be clarified about the regulation and signal...
