ABSTRACT Environmental exposure to heavy metals poses a threat to human health. Several studies documented harmful effects on the liver after arsenic and nickel exposure at concentrations beyond permissible limits. Nevertheless, the impact of a simultaneous exposure to both elements on hepatic biochemistry and histology remains unelucidated. Therefore,

Abstract BACKGROUND Over the past two decades, the global incidence of gout has markedly increased, affecting people worldwide. Considering the side effects of xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor drugs (e.g. allopurinol and febuxostat) used in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout, the potential application of phytochemicals has been widely studied.

β-Amyloid Accumulation in Neurovascular Units Following Brain Embolism
Nitric oxide (NO) toxicity is in part mediated by generation of peroxynitrite with concomitant production of superoxide under pathological brain conditions such as ischemia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract Peroxynitrite is the product of the nearly diffusion limited reaction between two free radicals, nitric oxide and superoxide. Peroxynitrite is a relatively long-lived, highly reactive species that can undergo harmful secondary oxidations of key cellular components.

ABSTRACT Nitrooxidative stress, driven by excess reactive nitrogen species like peroxynitrite, contributes to the pathogenesis of many chronic diseases. Among its molecular footprints, 3‐nitrotyrosine (3NT) has emerged as a biologically relevant marker of protein nitration.

Maternal Lead Exposure Induces Glandular Alterations in the Salivary Glands of Rat Male Offspring
ABSTRACT Lead (Pb) is a widely distributed environmental pollutant that is highly noxious due to its toxicokinetic characteristics. Pb exposure can damage vital organ systems, including the central nervous and stomatognathic systems. As salivary glands play an important role in oral homeostasis, this study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal ...

Living in an Oxygen Atmosphere – NO• Problem?
Formation of nitrogen monoxide in vivo as a signal molecule and as part of the immunological response leads to the formation of oxidized haemoproteins and a powerful oxidant, peroxynitrite.

Astaxanthin captured peroxynitrite to form nitroastaxanthins. 15-Nitroastaxanthin was a major reaction product of astaxanthin with peroxynitrite. Here, the anti-oxidative, anti-tumor-promoting, and anti-carcinogensis activities of 15-nitroastaxanthin ...
