in this study the role of glutathione (gsh) in sulfur mustard -induced oxidative stress and cytotoxicity, in human skin fibroblast cell line (hf2ff) was evaluated. sulfur mustard-induced superoxide radical and hydrogen peroxide formation were evaluated by determination of superoxide dismutase and catalase activity in cell lysate. the cytotoxicity of sulfur mustard was estimated by lactate dehyd...

the present study has been designed to find out the protective effect of aqueus extract of terminalia arjuna against dehydration induced oxidative stress and uremia, protection by plant extract in male wister strain albino rats, and therefore to find out the scientific basis of local use of terminalia arjuna bark extract by village ayurved doctors to protect the progressive kidney disorder (ren...

the role of oxygen free radicals in the initiation, promotion and progression of carcinogenesis and the protective role of anti-oxidant defenses has been the subject of much speculation in the recent past with conflicting reports in the literature. in recent years, increasing experimental and clinical data have provided compelling evidence for the involvement of oxidative stress in a large numb...

Spermatozoa are very special cells and constantly exposed to the interphase between oxidative stress through high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leukocytes, and reduction by means of scavengers and antioxidants. Considering the very special functions of spermatozoa as being the only cells with such high polarization and exerting their functions outside the body, even in a differen...

An increase of the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration leads to the development of oxidative stress and, thus, to the damage of cell components. The cause-and-effect relations between these processes have not been fully established yet. The ability of photo excited supramolecular composites containing fullerenes C60 immobilized at nanosilica particles to generate reactive ...

objectives: small dense low‑density lipoprotein (sdldl) which has a small ldl particle size with greater susceptibility to oxidation is regarded as a risk marker for cardiovascular disease. the diacron reactive oxygen metabolites (d‑roms) test has recently been introduced as an oxidative stress‑related marker in the clinic. the aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between...
