Tetra acetyl ethylene diamine (TAED) was used as an activator in H2O2 bleaching to improve bleaching efficiency. The present work was aimed at confirming different activations for various H2O2/TAED bleaching processes, including the addition of acetic anhydride and the stepaddition of sodium hydroxide. The results showed that an acetic anhydride dosage of 1%, an acetic anhydride treatment time ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including H2O2, cause intracellular calcium overload and ischemia-reperfusion damage. The objective of this study was to examine the hypothesis that H2O2-induced arrhythmic activity and contractile dysfunction are the results of an effect of H2O2 to increase the magnitude of the late sodium current (late INa). Guinea pig and rabbit isolated ventricular myocytes we...

Cell apoptosis is a biochemical andmolecular pathway essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. It is an integrated process involving in a series of signal transduction cascades. Moreover, the apoptotic pathways may be initiated inside various subcellular organelles. Increasing evidence indicates that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is closely related to cell apoptosis, particularly in the mitoch...

Catalases are efficient scavengers of H2O2 and protect cells against H2O2 stress. Examination of the H2O2 stimulon in Saccharomyces cerevisiae revealed that the cytosolic catalase T (Ctt1) protein level increases 15-fold on H2O2 challenge in synthetic complete media although previous work revealed that deletion of the CCT1 or CTA1 genes (encoding peroxisomal/mitochondrial catalase A) does not i...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), an oxidant generated by inflammatory cells, is an important mediator of injury of endothelial cells (ECs). Here we show that H2O2 induces up-regulation of the expression of Fas, a death signal, in human ECs in culture. Flow cytometric analysis with a mAb against human Fas showed that incubation for 24 h with H2O2 induced a dose-dependent increase in the level of Fas in...

Introduction:studies have shown that the increase of active oxygen species is associated with damage to bone cells and the role of exercise and vitamin D on bone health has been proven;the aim of this study was to investigate the interactive effects of aerobic exercise with vitamin D supplements on bone resorption markers in rats exposed to oxidative damage induced by H2O2. <br...

The decomposition of H2O2 by a novel supported g-FeOOH catalyst was performed in a continuous fluidized-bed reactor. This catalyst has been successfully used in the treatment of organic contaminants with H2O2 in our previous work. In this study, we attempted to determine the effects of pH, H2O2 concentration, and catalyst concentration on the decomposition of H2O2. An approach, we regarded this...

Both the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) create a survival signal against oxidative stress-induced injuries. Although we have demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) preconditioning confers adaptive cytoprotection against oxidative stress-induced injury in PC12 cells, it remains unknown whether these defense systems are involved in the protective ...

BACKGROUND Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an oxidant agent and this molecule naturally occurs in the body as a product of aerobic metabolism. Geraniol is a plant-derived natural antioxidant. The aim of this study was to determine the role of geraniol on hepatic fatty acids alterations following H2O2-induced oxidative stress in male rats. METHODS After randomization, male Wistar rats were divided...
