The generation of oxygen free radicals (OFR) by peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils of patients with rheumatic fever (RF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) has been studied using the luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence technique. The mechanism of OFR generation was studied by measuring NADPH
We have examined the relative ability of 16 sugars and sugar analogues to reduce cell killing by hyperthermia of 40 min, 45 degrees C. In general, sugars were added to the culture medium 6 h prior to heating at a concentration of 100 mM (400 mosmol). The results show that D-hexoses, L-hexoses,
