How dangerous is reactive oxygen species production? Int J Biochem Cell Biol. 2015;63:16-20.Holzerova E, Prokisch H. Mitochondria: much ado about nothing? How dan- gerous is reactive oxygen species production? Int J Biochem Cell Biol (2015) 63:16-20. doi:10.1016/j.biocel.2015.01.021...
When a plastic part is placed in the discharge path, the electrons generated in the discharge impact the surface with energies 2 to 3 times that necessary to break the molecular bonds on the surface of most substrates. This creates very reactive free radicals. These free radicals in the presen...
Smoking is considered an addictive disease, which makes it much harder to quit. An addictive disease or addiction describes a persistent habit that is harmful to the person. Thus, addiction is a chronic (long-duration) disease with reliance on the substance causing the addiction. The addictive s...
Finally, the controversial issue of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the process of oxygen sensing is addressed [2]. The increased production of ROS under hypoxic conditions is unanimously recognized. Effects on cellular oxygen sensing have likewise been described. In the complex situation of a ...
How does oxygen keep cells and tissues alive?ATP:Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule made from an adenine nitrogenous base, a ribose sugar and three phosphate residues. The phosphorylation of other structures by ATP destabilises them making them more reactive. In this way, ATP is known ...
Inserting between base pairs of DNA, which stops DNA and RNA synthesis in rapidly-dividing cells and blocks cancer cells from dividing. This is called DNA intercalation. Generating reactive oxygen species that damage DNA and cell membranes, leading to cell apoptosis. ...

According to the results published in The FASEB Journal, the extract inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species, thereby inhibiting the generation of the amyloid-beta protein. Meanwhile, the study also found that the extract can reduce deposits of amyloid-beta protein by activating mtUPR, ...
Pyridine is an aromatic six-membered heterocyclic compound containing a nitrogen atom. It has an electron pair on the nitrogen atom that makes it a Lewis base and nucleophile to interact with alcohol molecules to transform them into more reactive species. ...
