Pharmacology and clinical drug candidates in redox medicine [PDF]
SIGNIFICANCE Oxidative stress is suggested to be a disease mechanism common to a wide range of disorders affecting human health. However, so far, the pharmacotherapeutic exploitation of this, for example, based on chemical scavenging of pro-oxidant ...

Increased Adenine Nucleotide Degradation in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy [PDF]
Adenine nucleotides (AdNs: ATP, ADP, AMP) are essential biological compounds that facilitate many necessary cellular processes by providing chemical energy, mediating intracellular signaling, and regulating protein metabolism and solubilization.

MOCOS‐associated renal syndrome in a Brown Swiss cattle
Background A recessive form of MOCOS‐associated xanthinuria type II is described in Tyrolean grey cattle. A similar case was identified in a 5‐month‐old Brown Swiss calf with hoof overgrowth, rough coat, urine sediment, and pneumonia.

Apoptosome activation, an important molecular instigator in 6-mercaptopurine induced Leydig cell death. [PDF]
Leydig cells are crucial to the production of testosterone in males. It is unknown if the cancer chemotherapeutic drug, 6-mercaptopurine (6 MP), produces Leydig cell failure among adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Moreover, it is

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase: A new marker for free oxygen radical injury to the endothelial cell [PDF]
The effect of ischemia and reperfusion on purine nucleoside phosphorylase was studied in an isolated perfused rat liver model. This enzyme is localized primarily in the cytoplasm of the endothelial and Kupffer cells; some activity is associated with the ...

Effect of oxidative stress on the activity of human osteoblastic MG63 cells
Objective To investigate the morphology and proliferation viability in oxidative stress induced damage in human MG63 cells. Methods The MG63 cells were treated with superoxide anion (O2.⁃) produced by different con⁃ centrations of xanthine/xanthine ...
