Role of xanthine oxidase and granulocytes in ischemia-reperfusion injury.
In this lecture, evidence is presented to support the following hypothesis regarding the roles of xanthine oxidase-derived oxidants and granulocytes in ischemia-reperfusion-induced microvascular injury. During the ischemic period, ATP is catabolized to yield hypoxanthine. The hypoxic stress also triggers the conversion of NAD-reducing xanthine dehydrogenase to the oxygen radical-producing xanth...
متن کاملEnhanced activity of the free radical producing enzyme xanthine oxidase in hypoxic rat liver. Regulation and pathophysiologic significance.
It has been widely proposed that conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) to its free radical-producing form, xanthine oxidase (XOD), underlies ischemic/reperfusion injury, although the relationship of this conversion to hypoxia and its physiologic control have not been defined. This study details the time course and control of this enzymatic interconversion. In a functionally intact, isolate...
متن کاملThe C-terminal peptide plays a role in the formation of an intermediate form during the transition between xanthine dehydrogenase and xanthine oxidase.
UNLABELLED Mammalian xanthine oxidoreductase can exist in both dehydrogenase and oxidase forms. Conversion between the two is implicated in such diverse processes as lactation, anti-bacterial activity, reperfusion injury and a growing number of diseases. We have constructed a variant of the rat liver enzyme that lacks the carboxy-terminal amino acids 1316-1331; it appears to assume an intermedi...
متن کاملProtective effect of ulinastatin against liver injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion in rats.
The effects of ulinastatin (ULN), a human urinary protease inhibitor, on liver injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion were studied in rats. In the liver ischemia-reperfusion model, ULN suppressed the elevation of serum transaminase levels and tissue lipid peroxide levels in the liver. ULN did not exhibit a radical-trapping action on the superoxide and hydroxyl radicals as measured by electron sp...
متن کاملP-78: Role of Allopurinol, as An Antioxidant Factor, in Increasing The Number of Received Oocytes and Embryos, and Reduce Apoptosis after Heterotopic Transplantation Mouse Ovarian Tissue
Background: Ischemia and reperfusion after transplantation is the main problem which decreases follicular density in the grafted ovarian. Many sources of free radicals such as xanthine oxidase were generated during ischemia. In this study, we used allopurinol as xanthine oxidase inhibitor to reduce ischemia-reperfusion injury, to increase received oocytes and embryos, and to decrease Apoptosis ...
