Macrophages, reactive nitrogen species, and lung injury [PDF]
Evidence has accumulated over the past several years demonstrating that lung injury following inhalation of irritants like ozone is due, not only to direct effects of the chemical, but also indirectly to the actions of inflammatory mediators released by infiltrating macrophages.

Oxidative DNA Damage and Repair: Mechanisms, Mutations, and Relation to Diseases
Oxidative DNA damage (ODD) by reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is an inevitable tradeoff for using oxidation processes by living cells as a source of energy [...]

Reactive nitrogen in Asian continental outflow over the western Pacific: Results from the NASA Transport and Chemical Evolution over the Pacific (TRACE-P) airborne mission [PDF]
We present here results for reactive nitrogen species measured aboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft during the Transport and Chemical Evolution over the Pacific (TRACE-P) mission. The large-scale distributions total reactive nitrogen (NOy,sum = NO + NO2 + HNO3 +

Periodontal disease etiology and role of oxidative stress
The term "periodontal disease" is used to describe an array of inflammatory conditions that can affect the periodontium. In response to the challenge given by the bacteria, the gingival and periodontal tissues undergo a complicated chain of events ...
