alpha-Lipoic acid, which plays an essential role in mitochondrial dehydrogenase reactions, has recently gained considerable attention as an antioxidant. Lipoate, or its reduced form, dihydrolipoate, reacts with reactive oxygen species such as superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, hypochlorous
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of dietary antioxidant supplementation with alpha-tocopherol and alpha-lipoic acid on cyclosporine A (cyclosporine)-induced alterations to erythrocyte and plasma redox balance. Rats were randomly assigned to either control, antioxidant
Alpha 1 microglobulin is a low molecular weight heme binding antioxidant protein with interesting, and potentially important, clinical applications. However, much remains to be learned about its in vivo effects. This invited review raises a number of physiologic issues regarding this compound as it
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been involved in the induction and progression of damage of many human disorders, such as: heart infarction, cerebral ischemia, diabetic neuropathy, Alzheimer's disease, etc. In several studies, the synergism between alpha-lipoic acid and vitamin E has been
OBJECTIVE
After non-response to the initial course of therapy, retreatment with alpha-interferon is not effective. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether the administration of N-acetyl cysteine and vitamin E could increase the response rate to retreatment with
Alpha-tocopherolhydroquinone (TQH2) is a product of alpha-tocopherol oxidation/reduction that exerts antioxidant effects in biological systems. TQH2 inhibited autoxidation of methyl linoleate initiated by peroxyl radicals derived from thermolysis of 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) in
alpha-Crystallin is a major chaperone lens protein to which has been ascribed antioxidant functions. In the present work we have evaluated the antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties of bovine alpha-crystallin in a series of in vitro models: zimosan-induced, luminol-enhanced
Alpha-benzoyloxypaeoniflorin (1), a new antioxidant monoterpene alpha-glycoside anomer was isolated from Paeonia suffruticosa along with known compounds, beta-benzoyloxypaeoniflorin (2), paeonolide, paeoniflorin and mudanpioside H. The structure of 1 has been determined by comparing spectral data
In order to study the mechanisms of resistance to tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), we have constructed two stable transfectants producing TNF-alpha (Yv12-2 and Yv13-44) from the rat hepatoma H4IIE cell, which does not produce TNF-alpha. H4IIE cells were highly sensitive to apoptosis induced
alpha-Tocopherolquinone (TQ), a product of alpha-tocopherol oxidation, can function as an antioxidant after reduction to alpha-tocopherolhydroquinone (TQH2). We examined the ability of human NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) to catalyze the reduction of TQ to TQH2 in cell-free and cellular
Ascophyllum nodosum is a brown seaweed that grows abundantly in the Northeast coastal region. In this study, the potential of A. nodosum for type 2 diabetes management through antioxidant-mediated alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase inhibition was investigated. After the initial screening of 4
OBJECTIVE
To express and product a fluorescent antioxidant holo-alpha-phycocyanin (PC) of Spirulina platensis (Sp) with His-tag (rHHPC; recombinant holo-alpha-phycocyaninof Spirulina platensis with His-tag) in 5-l bench scale.
RESULTS
A vector harbouring two cassettes was constructed: cpcA along
The antioxidant activity of alpha-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) and of alpha-tocopherol succinate (TS) has been examined in isolated hepatocytes and microsomal fractions from rat liver. Both TPGS and TS require esterase activity to yield free alpha-tocopherol and, hence,
The antioxidant properties of alpha-tocopherol and alpha-tocopheryl acetate in lung tissue were quantitated in vitro by measurement of thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactants, pentane production and lipid peroxides following either an iron/ascorbate or a xanthine/xanthine oxidase oxidant stress. Lung
