BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2011 Background Both resveratrol and vitamin C (ascorbic acid) are frequently used in complementary and alternative medicine. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms for potential health benefits of resveratrol and its interactions with ...

Heme Oxygenase-1: A Metabolic Nike [PDF]
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, 2014 Heme degradation, which was described more than 30 years ago, is still very actively explored with many novel discoveries on its role in various disease models every year.The heme oxygenases (HO) are metabolic enzymes that utilize NADPH and oxygen to break apart the heme moiety liberating biliverdin (BV), carbon monoxide (CO), and iron.

Heme-oxygenases during erythropoiesis in K562 and human bone marrow cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 In mammalian cells, heme can be degraded by heme-oxygenases (HO). Heme-oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is known to be the heme inducible isoform, whereas heme-oxygenase 2 (HO-2) is the constitutive enzyme.

Haematologica, 2015 Sickle cell disease is a risk factor for invasive bacterial infections, and splenic dysfunction is believed to be the main underlying cause. We have previously shown that the liberation of heme in acute hemolysis can induce heme oxygenase-1 during ...

Regulation of Complement Activation by Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in Kidney Injury
Antioxidants, 2021 Heme oxygenase is a cytoprotective enzyme with strong antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties. Its cytoprotective role is mainly attributed to its enzymatic activity, which involves the degradation of heme to biliverdin with simultaneous release of ...

Carbon monoxide: from toxin to endogenous modulator of cardiovascular functions
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999 Carbon monoxide (CO) is a pollutant commonly recognized for its toxicological attributes, including CNS and cardiovascular effects. But CO is also formed endogenously in mammalian tissues. Endogenously formed CO normally arises from heme degradation in a

The silent information regulator 1 pathway attenuates ROS-induced oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2020 We show that down-regulation of circular ribonucleic acid 0001588 with small interfering-circular ribonucleic acid 0001588 mimics promoted caspase-3 and caspase-9 activity levels, increased lactate dehydrogenase activity levels, and reduced cell growth ...
