Endothelial cell dysfunction following exposure to H2O2 is associated with rapid inhibition of glucose-dependent pathways of ATP synthesis. The role other substrates for ATP synthesis (e.g., amino acids) may play in the metabolism of H2O2-injured cells is unclear. The effect of glutamine, a precursor of the Kreb's cycle intermediate alpha-ketoglutarate on ATP levels in bovine pulmonary artery e...

background: the purpose of the present study was to assess the efficiency of ultrasound/hydrogen peroxide processes and ultrasound/hydrogen peroxide/zno nanoparticles in the removal of blue cat 41 dye from aqueous solutions. methods: zno nanoparticles were prepared using the hydrothermal method. variables including ph, concentration of zno nanoparticles, initial dye concentration, concentration...

PURPOSE To determine the ability of the aqueous humor to generate and degrade H2O2, the effect of environmental factors such as oxygen tension and temperature, and the constituents contributing to the observed results. METHODS Aqueous humor was carefully removed from bovine eyes within 3 hours of death. Standard and new techniques were used to follow H2O2 degradation and formation. Catalase a...

Mechanisms by which the lens protects against H2O2 are believed to include the metabolism of glutathione (GSH). In the present study, rabbit lenses were exposed to constant concentrations of H2O2 (0.01 to 0.1 mM) that were maintained in culture media with the use of a peristaltic pump. The rate at which H2O2 entered the lens was proportional to its concentration in the medium and reached 2.6 mu...

Docolorization of Methylene Blue was investigating using a Ultrasonic/Fenton like reactor in batch mode. The effects of pH, reaction time, initial concentration of dye, H2O2 and Fe on the dye removal was studied. It was found that the increase of initial dye and H2O2 concentration and the increase of initial pH, are not beneficial for improving the dye removal efficiency. Increasing the dye con...

BACKGROUND As the most abundant renewable resources, lignocellulosic materials are ideal candidates as alternative feedstock for bioethanol production. Cassava residues (CR) are byproducts of the cassava starch industry which can be mixed with lignocellulosic materials for ethanol production. The presence of lignin in lignocellulosic substrates can inhibit saccharification by reducing the cellu...

Bioelectrochemical systems can be used to energy-efficiently produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from wastewater. Organic compounds in the wastewater are oxidized by microorganisms using the anode as electron acceptor. H2O2 is produced by reduction of oxygen on the cathode. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time production of high concentrations of H2O2 production from real municipal was...

BACKGROUND A strong antimicrobial synergism between chlorhexidine (CHX) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been reported, but there is not enough data on the cytotoxicity of this combination. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of CHX-H2O2 combination in different concentrations and secondary aim is to assess the influence of H2O2 on cytotoxicity of CHX on cultured huma...

Aim: Increased oxidative stress plays important roles in vascular dysfunction in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is used as an experimental model for oxidative stress. The present study was designed to assess the effects of levosimendan pretreatment on the contractile effects induced by H2O2 in human saphenous vein (HSV) segments. Methods: We s...

degradation of acrylic water base color from synthetic wastewater by the fenton process was performed. experiments were conducted on the sample containing 100 and 400 mg/l of acrylic water base color. the study was performed for searching optimum values of feso4 and h2o2 concentration, ph and temperature. the h2o2 requirement seems to be related to initial cod of the sample. feso4/ h2o2 ratios ...
