2.A chemical reaction involving loss of electrons. In the human body, oxidation occurs when breathed-in oxygen combines with molecules in food to produce energy, water, and carbon dioxide. Dictionary of Unfamiliar Words by Diagram Group Copyright © 2008 by Diagram Visual Information Limited ...
Fatty Acid Oxidation Fatty acid oxidation is also referred to as beta-oxidation because 2 carbon units are cleaved off at the beta-carbon position (2nd carbon from the acid end) of an activated fatty acid. The cleaved 2 carbon unit forms acetyl-CoA and produces an activated fatty acid (acyl...
PPARα modulate plasma triglyceride, hepatic fatty acid synthesis and cholesterol concentrations by initiating cellular fatty acid uptake and β-oxidation of fatty acids (Jia et al., 2011). Moreover, of several processes of glucose regulation in the liver, gluconeogenesis is the ...
Substitutions at the histidine were observed to eliminate inflection points in the Pourbaix diagram, which plots peak potential versus pH [112,115]. Studies of H14 mutants showed that the inflection points are due to oxidation-induced pK shifts of the histidine. Fits to the data gave pK values...
PGG has been described to exert its anticancer activity by antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-angiogenesis, inhibiting DNA replicative synthesis, arresting cells in G1 and S phase, autophagy-mediated senescence, and inducing apoptosis22. In the present study, we found that PGG is a novel MYC...

The development of chemotherapy resistance is the most vital obstacle to clinical efficacy in gastric cancer (GC). The dysregulation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway is critically associated with GC development and chemotherapy resistance. Ferro
Detoxification mechanisms may include any combination of oxidation to more readily excreted derivatives, inactivation by conjugation to transport proteins, or evolution of target proteins to less susceptible forms. Since terpenes are lipophilic solvents that can disrupt membranes, it is reasonable to ...
Variable factors in sensitivity include (1) hepatic CYP2E1, a major enzyme of the cytochrome P-450 family involved in benzene oxidation; (2) conjugating enzymes such as glutathione transferases; and (3) comparative activity of myeloperoxidase and myeloreductase (NQO1) in bone marrow. Benzene ...
Step 2: Oxidation of Ammonia amide of 3-hydroxy-11-keto-beta-boswellic acidA solution of ammonia amide of 3-hydroxy-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid [2 g, 0.004264 mol] in 30 mL of MDC was taken in a RB and treated slowly with Jone's reagent (6 mL of Jone's reagent adsorbed with 12...
