NADPH Oxidase–Dependent Superoxide Production Is Associated With Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Subjects Free of Clinical Atherosclerotic Disease [PDF]
Objective—Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The NADPH oxidase constitutes the main source of superoxide in phagocytic and vascular cells.

NADPH oxidase and enhanced superoxide generation in intrauterine undernourished rats: involvement of the renin-angiotensin system [PDF]
Objective: We previously reported that intrauterine undernutrition increased the oxidative stress by decreasing superoxide dismutase activity. in the present study, we tested whether NADPH oxidase, xanthine oxidase, cyclooxygenase or nitric oxide ...

NADPH Oxidases in Aortic Aneurysms
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are a progressive dilation of the infrarenal aorta and are characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration, smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation, and degradation of the extracellular matrix. Oxidative stress and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to play roles in inflammatory cell

NADPH oxidase activation regulates apoptotic neutrophil clearance by murine macrophages.
The phagocyte reduced NAD phosphate (NADPH) oxidase generates superoxide, the precursor to reactive oxygen species (ROS) that has both antimicrobial and immunoregulatory functions.

Kinetics of proton pumping in cytochrome c oxidase [PDF]
We propose a simple model of cytochrome c oxidase, including four redox centers and four protonable sites, to study the time evolution of electrostatically coupled electron and proton transfers initiated by the injection of a single electron into the enzyme.

NoxO1 Determines the Level of ROS Formation by the Nox1-Centered NADPH Oxidase. [PDF]
The Nox1-centered NADPH oxidase complex facilitates the transfer of electrons from intracellular NADPH across the cell membrane to extracellular molecular oxygen, resulting in the formation of superoxide.

Losartan metabolite EXP3179 blocks NADPH oxidase-mediated superoxide production by inhibiting protein kinase C: potential clinical implications in hypertension [PDF]
Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. The NADPH oxidase constitutes a major source of superoxide anion in phagocytic cells, and its activation is associated with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 secretion by these ...

Mathematical Model for Chemical Reactions in Electrolyte Applied to Cytochrome $c$ Oxidase: an Electro-osmotic Approach [PDF]
A mathematical model for chemical reactions in electrolytes is developed using an Energy variational method consistent with classical thermodynamics. Electrostatics and chemical reactions are included in properly defined energetic and dissipative functionals.

Evolution of NADPH Oxidase Inhibitors: Selectivity and Mechanisms for Target Engagement.
SIGNIFICANCE Oxidative stress, an excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production versus consumption, may be involved in the pathogenesis of different diseases.
