Zinc Supplementation Combats Tuberculosis by Reverting Back to Normal Compartmentalized State of Iron and Hence Increasing Blood Hemoglobin Concentration [PDF]

Indian Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2023
Aim and background: To acquire iron (Fe), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) expresses high-affinity Fe+3-specific siderophores for scavenging Fe from host insoluble and protein-bound iron-like transferrin, lactoferrin, ferritin, and hemoglobin−haptoglobin.

Examining the Antioxidant and Superoxide Radical Scavenging Activity of Anise, (Pimpinella anisum L. Seeds), Esculetin, and 4-Methyl-Esculetin Using X-ray Diffraction, Hydrodynamic Voltammetry and DFT Methods

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
Pimpinella anisum L., or anise, is a plant that, besides its nutritional value, has been used in traditional medical practices and described in many cultures in the Mediterranean region. A possible reason for anise’s therapeutic value is that it contains

The Labile Iron Pool Reacts Rapidly and Catalytically with Peroxynitrite

Biomolecules, 2021
While investigating peroxynitrite-dependent oxidation in murine RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, we observed that removal of the Labile Iron Pool (LIP) by chelation increases the intracellular oxidation of the fluorescent indicator H2DCF, so we concluded that

Functional interactions between NADPH oxidase 5 and actin

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
NADPH oxidase 5 (NOX5) is a transmembrane oxidative signaling enzyme which produces superoxide in response to intracellular calcium flux. Increasing evidence indicates that NOX5 is involved in a variety of physiological processes as well as human disease,

^•BMPO-OOH Spin-Adduct as a Model for Study of Decomposition of Organic Hydroperoxides and the Effects of Sulfide/Selenite Derivatives. An EPR Spin-Trapping Approach

Antioxidants, 2020
Lipid hydroperoxides play an important role in various pathophysiological processes. Therefore, a simple model for organic hydroperoxides could be helpful to monitor the biologic effects of endogenous and exogenous compounds.

Soybean-Derived Tripeptide Leu–Ser–Trp (LSW) Protects Human Vascular Endothelial Cells from TNFα-Induced Oxidative Stress and Inflammation via Modulating TNFα Receptors and SIRT1

Foods, 2022
Soybean is a rich source of high-quality proteins and an excellent food source of bioactive peptides. A tripeptide, Leu–Ser–Trp (LSW), was previously identified from soybean as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory peptide.

Effect of 7-nitroindazoleon superoxide production and MnSOD activity in threat brain following kainate-induced neurotoxicity [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2008
We investigated the effect of 7-nitroindazole (7-NI), a selective neuronal nitric oxide synthase inhibitor in vivo, on superoxide concentration as well its influence on mitochondrial MnSOD activity since this activity is associated with the production of

EPR Study of KO₂ as a Source of Superoxide and ^•BMPO-OH/OOH Radical That Cleaves Plasmid DNA and Detects Radical Interaction with H₂S and Se-Derivatives

Antioxidants, 2021
Superoxide radical anion (O2•−) and its derivatives regulate numerous physiological and pathological processes, which are extensively studied. The aim of our work was to utilize KO2 as a source of O2•− and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin ...

Cigarette Smoke Extract Produces Superoxide in Aqueous Media by Reacting with Bicarbonate

Toxics, 2021
The toxicity of cigarette smoke (CS) is largely attributed to its ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reportedly, CS generates superoxide in cell culture systems by stimulating the cells to produce superoxide and through direct chemical ...
