Coupled Antibacterial Effects of Plasma-Activated Water and Pulsed Electric Field

Frontiers in Physics, 2022
In the biomedical applications of cold plasma, the dominant biological effect is most typically attributed to the reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), while the physical effect of electric fields is sometimes overlooked. Here, we investigated the

From reactive species to disease development: Effect of oxidants and antioxidants on the cellular biomarkers

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 37, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract The influence of modern lifestyle, diet, exposure to chemicals such as phytosanitary substances, together with sedentary lifestyles and lack of exercise play an important role in inducing reactive stress (RS) and disease. The imbalance in the production and scavenging of free radicals and the induction of RS (oxidative, nitrosative, and ...

The Balancing of Peroxynitrite Detoxification between Ferric Heme-Proteins and CO₂: The Case of Zebrafish Nitrobindin

Antioxidants, 2022
Nitrobindins (Nbs) are all-β-barrel heme proteins and are present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Although their function(s) is still obscure, Nbs trap NO and inactivate peroxynitrite.

Antioxidant and Hepatoprotective Effects of Fig Fruit Extract with Olive Oil and Date‐Palm Fruit Extract on Hepatic Toxicity of Oral Subchronic Exposure to Some Nanoparticles in Wistar Rats

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The aim is to study the possible protection of fig fruit extract with olive oil and date‐palm fruit extract (FOD) as natural antioxidants in decreasing the subchronic toxicity hazards of SiO2NPs, Al2O3NPs, or ZnONPs in male rats treated for 75 days. We used 80 male Wistar rats distributed into eight groups according to the treatment.

Recent advances towards aqueous hydrogen peroxide formation in a direct current plasma–liquid system

High Voltage, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 405-419, June 2022., 2022
Abstract The aqueous phase hydrogen peroxide (H2O2aq) produced from the plasma–liquid interactions can directly or synergistically (with other substances) affect the liquid chemistry, and therefore it is important to unfold the H2O2aq formation mechanism. However, up to now, a consensus on the H2O2aq formation mechanism is not reached. This review aims
