trolox/hypoxia

Livers isolated from 18 hours fasted rats were subjected to N(2) hypoxia (for 45 min) followed by reoxygenation (for 45 min). The perfusion medium used was Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer (KHBB, pH 7.4). Lactate and alanine were added as gluconeogenic and ureagenic substrates and Trolox C was

Rett syndrome (RS) causes severe cognitive impairment, loss of speech, epilepsy, and breathing disturbances with intermittent hypoxia. Also mitochondria are affected; a subunit of respiratory complex III is dysregulated, the inner mitochondrial membrane is leaking protons, and brain ATP levels seem

Antioxidants have potentials to treat hypoxia-mediated oxidative stress related diseases. However, their therapeutic efficacy is restricted due to its poor cellular uptake efficiency and poor cell membrane permeability. To resolve these issues, we prepare the hydroxyethylated chitosan nanoparticles

The antioxidants, Trolox (6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid, a water soluble analog of vitamin E) and ascorbic acid (AA), protect the heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury. We hypothesized that maternal infusion of Trolox and AA, would reduce the fetal bradycardia and

Reactive oxygen species have been suggested to participate in the impairment of nervous tissue by oxidative stress, induced by hypoxia (HYP) followed by reoxygenation (ROX). Although the mechanisms of such injury are rather complex, antioxidants might exert some protective action under such

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

In a previous study, the neuroprotection provided by some hindered phenols of synthetic nature and alpha-tocopherol in guinea-pig detrusor strips subjected to ischaemia/reperfusion-like conditions was shown to be related directly to the antioxidant activity. The aim of the present study was to

Neutrophil apoptosis represents a major mechanism involved in the resolution of inflammation. Since hypoxia induces apoptosis in several cell lines and is of particular relevance in many disease states, we studied the effect of oxygen concentration on neutrophil survival in vitro. Hypoxia caused a

The novel synthetic derivative of carnosine, (S)-6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carbonyl-β-alanyl-L-histidine (S-Trolox™-Carnosine, STC) increases the resistance of rats to experimental acute hypobaric hypoxia (AHH) thus protecting brain from the oxidative damage. This effect is accompanied

Ischemia causes severe damage in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, it is interesting to study how the barrier and transport functions of intestinal epithelium change under hypoxia and subsequent reoxygenation. For this purpose we simulated hypoxia and reoxygenation on mucosa-submucosa

Hypoxia (HYP) followed by reoxygenation (REOX) occurs frequently in the pathophysiology of the CNS. Free oxygen radicals (FOR) may participate in cerebral injury under such circumstances. Pharmacological control of the generation and/or subsequent effects of FOR by new effective compounds might

Altitude exposure and exercise elicit oxidative stress in blood; however, exercise recovery at 5000 m attenuates oxidative stress. The purpose was to determine the altitude threshold at which blood oxidative stress is blunted during exercise recovery. Twelve males 18-28 years performed four-cycle

Neu2000 (NEU; 2-hydroxy-5-(2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-trifluoromethyl-benzylamino)-benzoic acid), a recently developed derivative of acetylsalicylic acid and sulfasalazine, potently protects against neuronal cell death following ischemic brain injury by antagonizing NMDA receptor-mediated neuronal

The gills are osmorespiratory organs of aquatic organisms and the prime target of environmentally induced hypoxia. We have studied the impact of severe hypoxia (0.5 mg O₂/L) on the ionic transport across posterior gills of Carcinus maenas acclimated to 12 ppt seawater (DSW). The

In the perinatal period, adrenomedullary chromaffin cells (AMC) directly sense PO2 and secrete catecholamines during hypoxic stress, and this response is lost in juvenile ( approximately 2 week-old) chromaffin cells following postnatal innervation. Here we tested the hypothesis that a
