Mitochondrial Oxidative Metabolism: An Emerging Therapeutic Target to Improve CKD Outcomes

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) predisposes one toward end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and its associated morbidity and mortality. Significant metabolic perturbations in conjunction with alterations in redox status during CKD may induce increased production ...

Mitochondrial ROS and the effectors of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway in aging cells: the discerning killers!

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2016
It has become clear that mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) are not simply villains and mitochondria the hapless targets of their attacks. Rather, it appears that mitochondrial dysfunction itself and the signaling function of mtROS can have ...

What Is the Relevance of Murburn Concept in Thalassemia and Respiratory Diseases?

open access: yesThalassemia Reports, 2023
Murburn concept is a novel perspective for understanding cellular function, deeming cells as simple chemical engines (SCE) that are powered by redox reactions initiated by effective charge separation (ECS).

S-adenosylmethionine and superoxide dismutase 1 synergistically counteract Alzheimer's disease features progression in tgCRND8 mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Recent evidence emphasizes the role of dysregulated one-carbon metabolism in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Exploiting a nutritional B-vitamin deficiency paradigm, we have previously shown that PSEN1 and BACE1 activity is modulated by one-carbon metabolism ...

Antioxidants Protect against Arsenic Induced Mitochondrial Cardio-Toxicity

open access: yesToxics, 2017
Arsenic is a potent cardiovascular toxicant associated with numerous biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases in exposed human populations. Arsenic is also a carcinogen, yet arsenic trioxide is used as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of acute ...

Structural Evidence for a Copper-Bound Carbonate Intermediate in the Peroxidase and Dismutase Activities of Superoxide Dismutase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD) is of fundamental importance to our understanding of oxidative damage. Its primary function is catalysing the dismutation of superoxide to O2 and H2O2. SOD also reacts with H2O2, leading to the formation of a strong

Superoxide Scavenging Effects of Some Novel Bis-Ligands and Their Solvated Metal Complexes Prepared by the Reaction of Ligands with Aluminum, Copper and Lanthanum Ions

open access: yesMolecules, 2013
Novel antioxidants have been synthesized and characterized by their chemical properties as antioxidants with high superoxide scavenging activity. (2R,3R)-diphenylethylenediamine is a spacer in antioxidants, and we synthesized targets 11a and 11b by ...

Microsomal superoxide anion production and NADPH-oxidation in a series of 22 aziridinylbenzoquinones [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Several 2,5-bis(1-aziridinyl)-1,4-benzoquinones (BABQs) can be activated to alkylating species by reduction of the quinone moiety. On the other hand, cytotoxicity of these compounds can be induced by redox cycling.
