Heme oxygenase-I (HO-1) has emerged as one of the most protective enzymes and its pleiotropic activities have been demonstrated in a variety of human pathologies. Unpublished observations have shown that HO-1 is induced after the infusion of ozonated blood into the respective donors, and many other experimental observations have demonstrated the efficacy of oxidizing agents. It appeared worthwh...

Ozonated oils are antiseptics obtained from the chemical reaction between ozone and unsaturated fatty acids of vegetable oils. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effectiveness of a commercially available ozonated oil (O3-Oil), in comparison with 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) and 10% povidone-iodine (PVP-I) through a disk diffusion test. For each antiseptic a serie...

Peanuts (Arachis hypogea L.) are important substrates for the growth and subsequent aflatoxin production by different members of Aspergillus. The aims of the current study were to identify the toxigenic fungi associated with peanut and to study the effect of ozone gaseous (O3) on fungal spoilage and aflatoxin concentration in peanuts. Peanut samples were collected from three Egyptian governorat...

The harmful impacts of ozone (O3) on plant development and productivity have been excessively studied. Furthermore, the positive influences its low concentrations still need to be explored further. present study was performed assess impact O3 two sweet pepper hybrids under cold stress. ozonated water utilized for seed soaking or foliar application at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 ppm. Seed using 1 h compar...

Metodologia: Revisão integrativa realizada entre Novembro 2021 a Fevereiro 2022, pela busca dados na Biblioteca Virtual Saúde, e nas bases científicas MEDLINE CAPES. Os descritores utilizados foram Ozonated water and Ozone therapy, associando-se aos fi...

Tissue hypoxia results from an inadequate supply of oxygen (O2) that compromises biologic functions. Recent experimental and clinical studies suggest that intratumoral oxygen levels may influence a series of biologic parameters affecting the tumor’s malignant potential. Indeed, sustained hypoxia in a growing tumour may cause cellular changes that can result in a more clinically aggressive pheno...
