Effect of allopurinol on phosphocreatine recovery and muscle function in older people with impaired physical function:a randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Background: Allopurinol has vascular antioxidant effects and participates in purinergic signalling within muscle. We tested whether allopurinol could improve skeletal muscle energetics and physical function in older people with impaired physical ...

Viral delivery of antioxidant genes as a therapeutic strategy in experimental models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [PDF]
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no effective treatment to date. Despite its multi-factorial aetiology, oxidative stress is hypothesized to be one of the key pathogenic mechanisms.

Dyclonine rescues frataxin deficiency in animal models and buccal cells of patients with Friedreich's ataxia. [PDF]
Inherited deficiency in the mitochondrial protein frataxin (FXN) causes the rare disease Friedreich's ataxia (FA), for which there is no successful treatment. We identified a redox deficiency in FA cells and used this to model the disease.

Airways oxidative stress, lung function and cognitive impairment in aging. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: An altered balance of oxidants/antioxidants is one of the pathological mechanisms of many age-dependent disorders. We aimed to investigate the age-related airways oxidative stress, using non invasive, safe and repeatable techniques; to ...

Association between the Oxidative Balance Score and Incident Chronic Kidney Disease in Adults
Oxidative stress is a novel risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD). The oxidative balance score (OBS) was developed to represent the overall oxidative balance based on dietary and lifestyle pro-oxidant and antioxidant components. The aim of this study is to verify the relationship between the OBS and the incidence of CKD.

Oxidative stress in endurance flight: an unconsidered factor in bird migration [PDF]
Migrating birds perform extraordinary endurance flights, up to 200 h non-stop, at a very high metabolic rate and while fasting. Such an intense and prolonged physical activity is normally associated with an increased production of reactive oxygen and ...
