Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelation of Serum and Semen Malondialdehyde and Total Anti-Oxidants with Sperm Parameters in Infertile MenFirozeh Akbari-Asbagh, Ebrahim Mostafavi, Kobra Hamdi et al.Problem statement: Oxidative Stress (OS) has been recognized as one of the most important cause of male infertility. We studied the relation of serum and Semen Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) with sperm parameters in infertile men with sperm count within the normal range. Approach: The prospective case- control study performed on infertile men presenting to the infertility … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2010 · 14,533 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Camel's Milk on Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Swiss Albino MiceMohamed E.M. AfifiProblem statement: Nephrotoxicity is a major complication and a dose limiting factor for cisplatin therapy. Cisplatin mediated nephrotoxicity is remarkably documented by reactive oxygen species. Camel's milk has good nutritive value, antigenotoxic and anticytotoxic effects. The aim of the present study was to assess the protective effect of camel's milk against Cisplatin-induced renal oxidative stress in mice. Approach: Forty mal … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Research in Asia in the Period from 2000-2008R. R. Hafidh, A. S. Abdulamir, F. Abu Bakar et al.Problem statement: Plant antioxidants are natural plant products that inhibit the adverse effects of the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) produced in plants. Thus, antioxidants enable plants to survive. Depending on this principle, human beings started using some plants’ parts to cure from diseases many centuries ago, even before the discovery of microbes or disclosing the etiology of many human diseases. … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,283 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCocaine: A Catalyst for Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Associated DementiaNavneet K. Dhillon, Milind Gadgil, Andy Rahardja et al.Injection drug use has been recognized as a major risk factor for AIDS from the outset of the epidemic. Cocaine, one of the most widely abused drugs in the United States can both impair the functions of macrophages and CD4+ lymphocytes and also activate HIV-1 expression in these cells. Cocaine is a multifactorial agent that acts globally to impair the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,590 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 · 17,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Interventions in AgingSuresh I.S. RattanSingle or multiple exposure to low doses of potentially harmful agents can have a variety of anti-aging and longevity-extending hormetic effects. These hormetic stressors include irradiation, physical activity, food limitation, heat, hypergravity, dietary components and reactive oxygen species. Molecular mechanisms facilitating the hormetic effects are being elucidated and comprise a cascade of stress response and maintenance and repair pathways. Although … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,833 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmetine produce Entamoeba histolytica Death by Inducing a Programmed Cell DeathJ.D. Villalba-Magdaleno, R. Rojas, C. Gómez et al.Amoebiasis is a major public health problem in tropical and subtropical countries. Although a number of antiamoebic agents are used for its treatment and the molecular targets of these drugs have been identified, the biochemical and physiological mechanisms that produce trophozoite death are little known. The present study dates the in vitro induction of programmed cell death (PCD) in E. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,214 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 · 8,643 accessesView PDFCite
