Linoleic acid-induced mitochondrial Ca(2+) efflux causes peroxynitrite generation and protein nitrotyrosylation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
It is well known that excessive non-esterified fatty acids in diabetes contribute to the pathogenesis of renal complications although the mechanism remains elusive.

Drug‐Free Thrombolysis Mediated by Physically Activated Micro/Nanoparticles

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Overview of particle‐mediated thrombolytic effects (thermal, mechanical, and chemical) and their activating physical stimuli (light, ultrasound, and magnetic field) in drug‐free thrombolysis. ABSTRACT Thrombus‐associated disorders rank among the world's leading causes of death, with ischemic heart disease and stroke as the main contributors.

Tyrosine nitration in prostaglandin H2 synthase

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
In this study, we investigated the effects of various nitrogen oxide (NOx) species on the extent of prostaglandin H2 synthase-1 (PGHS-1) nitration in purified protein and in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Leishmanicidal activity of peroxynitrite

Redox Report, 1995
Nitric oxide reacts with superoxide to produce peroxynitrite which has been reported to be highly microbicidal to Trypanosoma cruzi in phosphate buffer but ineffective against Leishmania major in culture medium. This contradiction and the potential importance of peroxynitrite as a cytotoxic effector molecule of both macrophages and neutrophils led us ...

The key role of nitric oxide in hypoxia: hypoxic vasodilation and energy supply-demand matching [PDF]

, 2013
Significance: a mismatch between energy supply and demand induces tissue hypoxia with the potential to cause cell death and organ failure. Whenever arterial oxygen concentration is reduced, increases in blood flow - 'hypoxic vasodilation' - occur in an ...

Metallofullerenol Sc3N@C80(OH)18: A New Generation Radioprotector Protecting Human Erythrocytes Against Multiple Biochemical Damage Modes Upon Gamma Irradiation, Identifying It as a Scavenger of Short‐ and Long‐Lived Radicals

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Metallofullerenol Sc3N@C80(OH)18 demonstrates strong radioprotective properties as a scavenger of both short‐ and long‐lived radicals. The study reveals protection of human erythrocytes from γ‐radiation–induced biochemical damage via post‐irradiation removal of primary and secondary reactive oxidants, supported by pulse radiolysis kinetics.

Nitric Oxide, Peroxynitrite and Malondialdehyde Levels as Markers for Nitrosative/Oxidative Stress in Iraqi Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Iraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2017
Systemic lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease of unknown aetiology affecting multiple organ system. Reactive nitrogen and oxygen species are claimed to play a role in this disease.

Reaction of peroxynitrite with thiols, hydrogen sulfide and persulfides

Redox Biochemistry and Chemistry
Three decades of research on the biochemistry of peroxynitrite (ONOOH/ONOO−) have established that this stealthy oxidant is formed in biological systems, and that its main targets are carbon dioxide (CO2), metalloproteins and thiols (RSH).

A computational model for analysis of uncoupled NO synthase on nitric oxide and superoxide interaction in microcirculation [PDF]

, 2007
Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial cells is a key component for blood-vessel dilation. Dilation is achieved through smooth muscle relaxation as a response to NO transport.
