Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Different Doses of Irradiation on Oxidant and Antioxidant Systems in the Brain of Guinea PigsYildiz Guney, Ayse Bilgihan, Ayse Hicsonmez et al.The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of oxidative stress in the damaged brain tissue, irradiated with two different dose levels, a single dose of 8 and 15 Gy. In addition, the histological findings caused by ionizing radiation in the early period was investigated. The levels of MDA, GSH, SOD, CAT, GSH-Px and selenium were estimated in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncreased Production of Nitric Oxide Contributes to Renal Oxidative Stress in Endotoxemic RatBahar Tunçtan, Belma Korkmaz, Hatice Yıldırım et al.Overproduction of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leads to oxidative stress and decreased total antioxidant capacity, which is responsible for high mortality from several diseases such as endotoxic shock. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible NO synthase (iNOS) during endotoxemia is the major cause of vascular hyporeactivity, hypotension and multiple organ failure. In this study, we investigated whether increased production … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 8,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of 50 HZ Magnetic Field on Some Factors of Immune System in the Male Guinea PigsH. Sedghi, S. Zare, H. Hayatgeibi et al.This study investigated the bio-effects of 50 Hz MF exposure on some Immunological factors (ACTH, cortisol and glucose levels) in male Guinea pigs. The capacity of 50 Hz Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) to interfere in the weakness of endocrine system has been a relevant fact into the scientific community, since we are more susceptible for this kind of exposure, in modern … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHumoral and Cellular Effects of Stress-An Extensive Model SystemMazal Shimon-Hophy, Ramy R. AvtalionThe influence of stress on the immune system of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was studied by measuring leukocytes levels using flow cytometry and mRNA immune components by real time qPCR. Acute and chronic oxidative stresses were generated by different regimes of exposure of carp to environmental air. In acute stress, induced by single air exposure, the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1β, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2017 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOligoglucans as Elicitors of an Enzymatic Antioxidant System in Zucchini Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) Seedlings at Low TemperatureAbel Ceron-Garcia, Gustavo Adolfo Gonzalez-Aguilar, Irasema Vargas-Arispuro et al.Abstract: Problem statement: Non-controlled low temperatures affect physiological and biochemical processes leading to Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) accumulation in plants, which normally are stabilized by the antioxidant system. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX) and Catalase (CAT) are the most important ROS-detoxification enzymes in stressed plants. Approach: The activity of these enzymes were examined in response to fungal Oligoglucans (OG) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 15 Dec 2010 · 8,306 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Humic Acid on the Content of Trace Element in MitochondriaDaniel Žatko, Janka Vašková, Ladislav Vaško, Peter PatlevičBased on our previous in vitro studies which pointed to the antioxidant properties of humic acids especially concerning radical scavenging activities and ability to maintain the redox system in the cell, an addition of 0.6% humic acid into the diet of farm chicken for 42 days was evaluated. The administration of humic acids have a positive effect on the antioxidant … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 29 Jan 2015 · 7,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Potential in Lipophilic and Hydrophilic Extracts from Medicinal Herbs (Salvia officinalis and Echinacea angustifolia). A Comparison Between Assays Based on Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and SpectrophotometryFlavia Navari-Izzo, Riccardo Izzo, Mike F. Quartacci et al.Recently, detection of antioxidant activity of plant extracts has caught the attention of researchers. Determination of antioxidant activity is usually performed using stable free radicals. A number of assays is available for screening the antioxidant activity of food constituents, but few of these methods are applicable to lipophilic substances. EPR is the analytical technique that directly measures free radicals making … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2012 · 9,008 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Anaerobic Fermentation of Simple Sugars by Yeast Fuels Resistance Candida spp. Infections to Eradication by DrugsNedosa Ikenna Valentine, Utoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu Anastasia, Dan Danjuma et al.Problem statement: Human systemic Candida infections had proved difficult to eradicate by the medical health care system. Some practitioners and scholars see the problem as being due to drug resistance. For example an author wrote that ‘secondary drug resistance is clearly being encountered in one setting, oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with advanced Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection usually … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Dec 2011 · 7,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Frequency of Polymorphisms affecting Lead and Mercury Toxicity among Children with AutismShannon Rose, Stepan Melnyk, Alena Savenka et al.Individual risk of developmental neurotoxicity with exposure to environmentally relevant levels of lead and mercury is likely to be determined by genetic susceptibility factors as well as additive interactions with other environmental pollutants, cumulative dose, and the developmental stage of exposure. The apparent increase in autism diagnosis over the last 15 years has enhanced interest in the possibility that an … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,521 accessesView PDFCite
