Iron may induce oxidative damage to the intestinal mucosa by its catalyzing role in the formation of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals. This study aimed to determine iron-induced oxidative damage provoked by a single clinical dosage of ferrous sulfate and to elucidate the antioxidant defense mechanisms in the human small intestine in vivo. A double-lumen perfusion tube was positioned orogastric...

The reaction of the hydroxyl radical with chloride on the surface of sea salt aerosol producing gas phase Cl2 and particulate OH and its implications for the chemistry of the marine boundary layer under coastal, remote, and very remote conditions have been investigated with a numerical model. This reaction had been suggested by Laskin et al. (2003) to play a major role in the sulfur cycle in th...

Vascular glycosaminoglycans (GAG) are essential components of the endothelium and vessel wall and have been shown to be involved in several biologic functions. Mesoglycan, a natural GAG preparation, is a polysaccharide complex rich in sulphur radicals with strong negative electric charge. It is extracted from porcine intestinal mucosa and is composed of heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate, electr...

malondialdehyde (mda) is widely used as a biomarker for assessing oxidative stress in biomedical fields. lipid peroxidation is a chain phenomenon resulting in the formation of various active compounds that result in cellular damage. biomonitoring of mda has been used in both in-vivo and in-vitro studies as a key biomarker for various disease patterns including hypertension, diabetes, atheroscle...

background: mannitol is present in the ethyol ® (the trade name of amifostine) as an excipient. the mechanism of radioprotection of amifostine is radical scavenging. since mannitol is another known radical scavenger, we studied the probable additive or synergistic effect of mannitol on the effect of amifostine. material and methods: mice were irradiated with co-60 γ -ray in the presence 400mg/k...

Abstract. Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is emitted by phytoplankton species in the oceans and constitutes largest source of naturally sulfur to atmosphere. The climate impact secondary particles, formed through oxidation DMS hydroxyl radicals, still elusive. This study investigates hygroscopicity cloud condensation nuclei activity such particles discusses results relation their chemical composition. W...

In recent years, due to the abuse of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), many refractory trace organic compounds (TrOCs) have been transferred into natural water bodies, posing significant challenges environment. On other hand, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are cleaner more efficient than traditional biochemical degradation processes. Among them, combined ozone/persulfate ...

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on oxidants have attracted attention for the degradation of organic pollutants. The combination chalcopyrite with such as persulfate, peroxide, percarbonate, and others shows promise a system due to its ability activate through various pathways, leading formation numerous radical non-radical species. In this review, generation sulfate (SR) hydroxyl (HR)...

background: superoxide radicals are produced during oxidative metabolic processes, and removed by superoxide dismutase (sod) enzymes. controversial results have been reported regarding the tissue and plasma concentration of sod in patients with breast cancer. methods: venous blood was obtained from study participants and activity of sod enzyme was determined in 100 women. comparison was made be...
