Heavy metalOxidative stressHeat shock proteinAntioxidant enzyme activitiesHeat shock proteins (hsps) are induced by a wide range of environmental stressors including heavy metals in aquatic organisms. However, the effect of heavy metals on zooplankton at the molecular level remains still unclear. In ...
We propose that the emerging new "omics" techniques that are being widely employed in other areas should also be adopted for the study of heavy metal-induced oxidative stress and the general effect on plant metabolism. We believe that it is also necessary to integrate different areas, such as...
HEAVY metalsOXIDATIVE stressIONSSYNCHROTRON radiationCANDIDAX-ray fluorescenceThe aim of the present work was to evaluate whether Candida species can reduce both precious and toxic pure metals from the respective molecular ions. From these results, the nanoparticles formed were studied using scanning ...
Exposure to environmental toxicants, such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), may also promote oxidative stress in patients with developing endometriosis. Inhalation of airborne particles or ingestion of toxicants and heavy metals has been shown to induce oxidative stress and has been ...
Halophytes are constitutively better equipped to cope with oxidative stress as reactive oxygen species (ROS) are overproduced when plants are exposed to high salt concentrations. Halophytes have higher antioxidant metabolism compared with glycophytes. Heavy metal stress also results in overproduction of ...
Cardiac toxicity is a public health issue that can be caused by both environmental and occupational exposures. The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of carvedilol (CV), Acetovanillone (ACET), and their combination for ameliorating cadm
Therefore, heavy metal poisoning leads to the inactivation of antioxidant enzymes and enzymes of the Calvin cycle [40]. Moreover, transition metal ions catalyze the Fenton reaction and thus increase the production of hydroxyl radicals. Oxidative stress can be induced by herbicides, such as methyl ...
However, in recent years the antioxidant therapy has gain enormous attention in the prevention or treatment of drug/metal induced organ toxicity due to their inhibitory role on oxidative stress and inflammation8,10,11. Since the disruption in the oxidants and antioxidants balance as well as ...
stress, severe oxidative stress causes cell damage, which may lead to cell death and in some cases, death to the organism (Halliwell and Cross, 1994).To understand how environmental metal and metalloid pollutants alter or disrupt the normal cellular redox status, one must have a basic ...
amino acids, peptides, and proteins has been reported as one of the foremost consequences of arsenic exposure as they are susceptible targets of metal-inducedROSattack (Flora, 2011). 21.9.4.1Oxidative stress Oxidative stresshas now been established as one of the major mechanisms involved in ...
