antioxidant/hypoxia

OBJECTIVE Acute hypoxia is a threatening clinical case of emergency and may result in ultrastructural damage, with complete loss of cellular and organ functions. However, little is known about the differences in hypoxia tolerance between young and old myocardia and the protective effects of radical

Neonatal hypoxia ischemia (HI) plays a role in the etiology of several neurological pathologies and causes severe sequelae. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and cholinesterase inhibitors have demonstrated a positive action over HI induced deficits. In order to

Hypoxia has been shown to promote metastasis of cancer cells through induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). It is also known to cause generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We investigated here the role of ROS in hypoxia-induced EMT and whether attenuation of ROS by antioxidants

Lack of oxygen is life threatening for most mammals. It is therefore of biomedical interest to investigate the adaptive mechanisms which enable mammalian species to tolerate extremely hypoxic conditions. The subterranean mole rat Spalax survives substantially longer periods of hypoxia than the

The effect of melatonin on the correlation between the intensity of the accumulation of the oxidative-modified protein content, activity of the antioxidant enzymes and the state of proteoly-sis in the basal nuclei (the nucleus caudatus, globus pallidus, nucleus accumbens, amigdaloid complex) of the

OBJECTIVE Evaluation of some antioxidants on human colon cancer cells viability and proliferation at various oxygen levels. METHODS Human primary (SW480) and metastatic (SW620) colon cancer cells were cultured at hypoxia (1% oxygen), tissues (10% oxygen) and atmospheric (21% oxygen) normoxia with

Previously, the pyridoindole SMe1EC2 was proved to inhibit lipoperoxidation and carbonylation of proteins in rat brain cortex in the system Fe(2+)/ascorbate and improvement of resistance of the rat hippocampus was reported against ischemic conditions in vitro (hypoxia/hypoglycemia) expressed by the

Major interest is currently focused on the development and evaluation of effective strategies for the pharmacological therapy of human stroke and cerebral ischemia, as well as some neurodegenerative disorders in which increased production of free oxygen radicals and the neurotoxic effect of

OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate the effects of acute exercise under hypoxic condition and the repetition of such exercise in a 'living low-training high' training on the antioxidant/prooxidant balance. METHODS Randomized, repeated measures design. METHODS Faculté de Médecine, Clermont-Ferrand,

The bioantioxidant activity of the synthesized by us on the base of the diatomic phenol compound--3,5-di-t-butylpyrocatechol--has been studied. It was shown that this substance exhibits more pronounced antioxidant properties than tocopherol on the lipid peroxidation process in the rat brain

Recent research has demonstrated that reactive oxygen species (ROS) participate in intracellular signaling processes initiated during hypoxia. We investigated the role of ROS in the response of plasma erythropoietin (Epo) to short-term normobaric hypoxia in humans. Twelve male subjects were exposed

The effect of preliminary administration of antioxidant ionol on the heart energy metabolism and contractile function was estimated in hypoxic hypoxia and subsequent reoxygenation. The protective effect of ionol on the energy metabolism in hypoxia was shown to occur mainly at the level of

The present study reports the cytoprotective and antioxidant properties of alcoholic leaf extract of seabuckthorn (SBT) against hypoxia induced oxidative stress in C-6 glioma cells. Exposure of cells to hypoxia for 12 h resulted in a significant increase in cytotoxicity and decrease in mitochondrial

Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) catalyzes production of nitric oxide in vertebrate brains. Recent findings indicate that endothelial NOS and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are significantly increased during hypoxic stress and are modulated by antioxidants. However, the influence of antioxidants

Obstructive sleep apnea causes cardiovascular disease via chronic intermittent hypoxia (IH), which may be related to oxidative stress. Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an important cellular defense mechanism against oxidative stress by regulating its down-stream multiple
