Peroxiredoxin IV is an endoplasmic reticulum-localized enzyme forming oligomeric complexes in human cells.
The peroxiredoxins are a ubiquitous family of proteins involved in protection against oxidative stress through the detoxification of cellular peroxides. In addition, the typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxins function in signalling of peroxide stress and as molecular chaperones, functions that are influenced by their oligomeric state. Of the human peroxiredoxins, Prx IV (peroxiredoxin IV) is unique in po...
متن کاملAlternation in Erythrocyte Enzyme Antioxidant Activity during Blood Storage
Background: Blood is permanently exposed to oxidation stress and therefore has a high antioxidants capacity. Many different factors increasing the demand for the antioxidant capacity can be observed in the stored blood of donors. Consequently, damage to erythrocytes by free radicals may occur. So it is useful to control the alternation of anti-oxidant enzymes in stored blood at different days o...
متن کاملOrganophosphate Pesticide Exposure Reduced Serum Paraoxonase1 (PON1) Activity Which Correlated With Oxidative Stress in Pesticide Factory Workers
Background & Aims of the Study: Serum paraoxonase (PON1) is a potent antioxidant that is associated with the pathogenesis of several diseases. Also, it is reported that environmental factors can modulate the PON1 activity. In this study, the association between the Organophosphates (OP) exposure and plasma Paraoxonase/Arylesterase (PON1) activity and also OP-induced oxidative stress was investi...
متن کاملOGG1 DNA Repair Gene Polymorphism As a Biomarker of Oxidative and Genotoxic DNA Damage
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) gene modulates DNA repair capacity and functions as one of the first lines of protective mechanisms against 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) mutagenicity. OGG1-Cys326 gene polymorphism may decrease DNA repair function, causing oxidative stress due to higher oxidative DNA damage. The main purpose of this stu...
متن کاملAssessment of Liver and Kidney Functional Parameters along with Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Biomarker in Patients with β- Thalassemia Major
Abstract Background: Thalassemias are the most common inherited blood disorders caused by some mutations which can reduce the synthesis of globin chains. Iron overload and its organ deposition are responsible for functional abnormalities and tissue injury in patients who affected by β-thalassemia major. The aim of this case-control study was evaluation of hematological parameters, oxi...
