Human granulocyte generation of hydroxyl radical
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human granulocytes were capable of oxidizing 2-keto-4 thiomethylbutyric acid to ethylene during phagocytosis or membrane perturbation. The reaction required hydrogen peroxide and superoxide and in addition was inhibited by various hydroxyl radical (OH) scavengers. These observations represent direct evidence for the generation of OH by human granulocytes. Further, inhibition of ethylene generation by azide and cyanide suggests that OH generation in granulocytes may be linked to myeloperoxidase.

Enhancement of granulocyte chemiluminescence with hydroxyl radical scavengers.
Addition of hydroxyl radical scavengers (benzoate, ethanol, and mannitol) to granulocyte chemiluminescent reactions significantly enhanced light generation without altering granulocyte oxygen consumption or superoxide production.
متن کاملHuman Granulocyte Generation of Hydroxyl
As human leukocytes phagocytize, there is an associated burst of oxygen consumption (1), emission of light (chemiluminescence) (2), stimulation of the hexose monophosphate shunt (1), and the production of a variety of oxygen related toxic agents (3). These events appear to comprise an integral part of the anti-bacterial mechanism (4). Hypothesized mediators of the oxygen-dependent bactericidal ...

A vast majority of the studies addressing the free radicals including hydroxyl radical is a damage compound of biochemical molecules such as DNA, proteins and lipids. When free radicals specially hydroxyl radical are not adequately removed from the body, it may damage biological macromolecules, leading to a variety of disease occurs. Therefore, the body should be protected by an enzymatic or no...
متن کاملQuantification of Radicals Generated in a Sonicator
The hydroxyl radical (OH•) is a powerful oxidant produced as a consequence of cavitation in water. It can react nonspecifically in breaking down persistent organic pollutants in water into their mineral form. It can also recombine to form hydrogen peroxide which is very useful in water treatment. In this study, terephthalic acid (TA) and potassium iodide dosimetry were used to quantify and inve...
متن کاملLight Spectrum of Compact Fluorescent Lamps in Iranian Market and Possibility of Hydroxyl Radical Production
Background and purpose: Despite growing use of energy-saving lamps or compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), there are concerns about ultraviolet radiation in their output. In this study, the output of CFLs available in Iranian market in the range of infrared, visible, and ultraviolet were measured and the possibility of hydroxyl radical production by their radiation was evaluated. Materials and me...
