Mitochondrial nutrients improve immune dysfunction in the type 2 diabetic Goto-Kakizaki rats. [PDF]
, 2008 The development of type 2 diabetes is accompanied by decreased immune function and the mechanisms are unclear. We hypothesize that oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction may play an important role in the immune dysfunction in diabetes.

Use of Dithiothreitol Assay to Evaluate the Oxidative Potential of Atmospheric Aerosols
Atmosphere, 2019 Oxidative potential (OP) has been proposed as a useful descriptor for the ability of particulate matter (PM) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and consequently induce oxidative stress in biological systems, which has been recognized as one of the

Seasonal Variation in the Chemical Composition and Oxidative Potential of PM2.5
Atmosphere, 2020 Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has well-established systemic human health effects due in part to the chemical components associated with these exposures. Oxidative stress is a hypothesized mechanism for the health effects associated with PM2.

Review-evaluating the molecular assays for measuring the oxidative potential of particulate matter [PDF]
Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quarterly, 2015 Several cell-free assays are currently used to quantify and detect the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). All of them have certain limitations, do not provide direct comparison of results and, to date, none of these assays have been acknowledged as ...

Common Mitochondrial DNA Mutations Generated through DNA-Mediated Charge Transport [PDF]
, 2009 Mutation sites that arise in human mitochondrial DNA as a result of oxidation by a rhodium photooxidant have been identified. HeLa cells were incubated with [Rh(phi)2bpy]Cl3 (phi is 9,10-phenanthrenequinone diimine), an intercalating photooxidant, to ...
