We recently reported a previously unknown salutary role for xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) in intravascular heme overload whereby hepatocellular export of XOR to the circulation was identified as a seminal step in affording protection.

Inhibitory Effect of Hemin-Polymer System Against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus
Background. Wound infections of bacterial etiology are a socially significant problem. The lack of rational antibiotic therapy can lead to an increase in the emergence of resistant strains of microorganisms.

Binding and accumulation of hemin in Porphyromonas gingivalis are induced by hemin [PDF]
Although hemin is an essential nutrient for the black-pigmented oral bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis, the mechanisms involved in hemin binding and uptake are poorly defined. In this study, we have examined the binding of hemin and Congo red (CR) to P. gingivalis whole cells and have defined the conditions for maximal binding.

Contribution of PGE2 EP1 receptor in hemin-induced neurotoxicity
Although hemin-mediated neurotoxicity has been linked to the production of free radicals and glutamate excitotoxicity, the role of the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)-EP1 receptor remains unclear.

Interactions of hemin, antimalarial drugs and hemin-antimalarial complexes with phospholipid monolayers [PDF]
Hemin, antimalarial drugs and complexes formed between them, have demonstrable effects on biological membranes. Using the phospholipid monolayer model, we show that hemin intercalates into the membrane and increases its surface pressure, depending on the lipid composition and the initial surface pressure: negative surface charges and particularly ...

Improving the anthocyanin accumulation of hypocotyls in radish sprouts by hemin-induced NO
Background The health benefits of anthocyanins impel researchers and food producers to explorer new methods to increase anthocyanin contents in plant foods. Our previous studies revealed a positive role of nitric oxide (NO) in anthocyanin accumulation in

Hemin regulates platelet clearance in hemolytic disease by binding to GPIbα
Hemolysis is associated with thrombosis and vascular dysfunction, which are the pathological components of many diseases. Hemolytic products, including hemoglobin and hemin, activate platelets (PLT).
