Alcool e radicais livres de oxigénio.
Oxygen free radicals may be generated during ethanol metabolization by cytochrome P450, or due to the formation of xanthine oxidase by ethanol effect on xanthine dehydrogenase.

Determination of Flavin Potential in Proteins by Xanthine/Xanthine Oxidase Method
This protocol describes a simple xanthine/xanthine oxidase enzymatic equilibration method for determination of the redox potential of a flavin. As an example of the use of this method, we determine the reduction potential of the covalently bound FAD ...

GuaB Activity Is Required in Rhizobium tropici During the Early Stages of Nodulation of Determinate Nodules but Is Dispensable for the Sinorhizobium meliloti–Alfalfa Symbiotic Interaction [PDF]
The guaB mutant strain Rhizobium tropici CIAT8999-10T is defective in symbiosis with common bean, forming nodules that lack rhizobial content. In order to investigate the timing of the guaB requirement during the nodule formation on the host common ...

Role of urate, xanthine oxidase and the effects of allopurinol in vascular oxidative stress [PDF]
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the progression of vascular endothelial dysfunction. The two major systems generating vascular oxidative stress are the NADPH oxidase and the xanthine oxidase pathways. Allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor,

Role of aldehyde dehydrogenase in hypoxic vasodilator effects of nitrite in rats and humans [PDF]
Hypoxic conditions favour the reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide (NO) to elicit vasodilatation, but the mechanism(s) responsible for bioconversion remains ill defined.

The key role of nitric oxide in hypoxia: hypoxic vasodilation and energy supply-demand matching [PDF]
Significance: a mismatch between energy supply and demand induces tissue hypoxia with the potential to cause cell death and organ failure. Whenever arterial oxygen concentration is reduced, increases in blood flow - 'hypoxic vasodilation' - occur in an ...

Effects of Cherry in Take Versus Allopurinol on Serum Uric Acid Levels, Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress and Hepatic Xanthine Oxidase/Xanthine Dehydrogenase Activity in Hyperuricemic Rats [PDF]
Background and ObjectivesPrevention and treatment of hyperuricemia are based on control of uric acid levels. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of oral administration of sour cherry and allopurinol on serum uric acid levels, biomarkers ...
