in vitro maturation (ivm) is emerging as a popular technology at the forefront of fertility treatment and preservation. however, standard in vitro culture conditions usually increase reactive oxygen species (ros), which have been implicated as one of the major causes for reduced embryonic developmental competence. it is well-known that higher than physiological levels of ros triggers granulosa ...

dear editor,   the o 2 -generating enzyme nadph oxidase, plays a crucial role in host defense against microbial infection through the production of reactive oxygen species (ros). 1 the multisubunit nadph oxidase complex can be detected in vitro by the nitroblue tetrazolium test (nbt). 2 the nbt test is used for the diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease. 3 however, several factors, such as ...

Objective: Cuscuta campestris or common dodder is a holoparasitic  plant  that  has  been valorized for treatment of liver injury and cancer prevention in traditional medicine. Recently, extract of C. campestris had shown moderate antimicrobial properties and cytotoxic effects. In this study, we examined the level of cellular oxidants, cytotoxicity, apoptosis and differentiation induced by hydr...
