Ovarian follicle culture is useful for elucidation of factors involved in the regulation of follicular function. We examined the effects of gas phase oxygen concentration, an oil overlay, serum type and medium supplementation with FSH, insulin-transferrin-selenium (ITS) and l-ascorbic acid on
Ovarian follicle culture is useful for elucidation of factors involved in the regulation of follicular function. We examined the effects of gas phase oxygen concentration, an oil overlay, serum type and medium supplementation with FSH, insulin-transferrin-selenium (ITS) and I-ascorbic acid on
The novel 4-substituted 1,2,3-triazole L-ascorbic acid (L-ASA) conjugates with hydroxyethylene spacer as well as their conformationally restricted 4,5-unsaturated analogues were synthesized as potential antioxidant and antiproliferative agents. An evaluation of the antioxidant activity of novel
Two series of 6-(1,2,3-triazolyl)-2,3-dibenzyl-l-ascorbic acid derivatives with the hydroxyethylene (8a-8u) and ethylidene linkers (10c-10p) were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against seven malignant tumor cell lines and antiviral activity against a broad range of
Evidence exists that nitric oxide (NO) may mediate both protective and pathological responses during brain hypoxia (HP). Reactive oxygen species have also been implicated in the pathophysiological response of the brain tissues to HP. Therefore, this study investigated whether a NO precursor,
Ascorbic acid bound to KMUP-1 and sildenafil were examined for their antioxidant effects on vascular endothelium growth factor (VEGF) and endothelium nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in hypoxic pulmonary artery (PA). Inhaled KMUP-1 and oral sildenafil released NO from eNOS. The effect of buffered
The effect of ascorbate on the cell size of neuropeptide-Y neurons (NPY) and ascorbate uptake was studied in hypoxic neuronal cultures from chick embryo. Primary neuronal cultures plated on coverslips or on plastic dishes were switched to the serum free or serum supplemented medium and exposed to
CONCLUSIONS
In vitro evidence has identified that coagulation is activated by increased oxidative stress, though the link and underlying mechanism in humans have yet to be established. We conducted the first randomised controlled trial in healthy participants to examine if oral antioxidant
Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (Fgfr1) gene knockout impairs cardiomyocyte differentiation in murine embryonic stem cells (mESC). Here, various chemical compounds able to enhance cardiomyocyte differentiation in mESC [including dimethylsulfoxide, ascorbic acid (vitC), free radicals and reactive
The effect of hypoxia on the expression of extracellular matrix-related genes by human dermal fibroblasts was investigated using a novel three-dimensional culture supplemented with L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate. Experiments were performed by placing replicate dishes in either hypoxic (2%) or in
A biotinylated glucose oxidase (bGOD)-immobilized glass disk was prepared for visualizing D-glucose fluxes in acute brain slices. A mouse hippocampal slice was placed on the bGOD disk and stimulated with a stimulant solution containing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and a substrate DA-64, followed by
The transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF1) is the crucial regulator of genes that are involved in metabolism under hypoxic conditions, but information regarding the transcriptional activity of HIF1 in normoxic metabolism is limited. Different tumor cells were treated under normoxic
Vascular endotheliocytes BAE-2 underwent the gradually proceeding cell death until 48 h after reoxygenation (Reox) following 3 h anoxia (Anox), but protected by pre-Anox administration with L-ascorbic acid (Asc)-2-O-phosphate (Asc2P), an autooxidation-resistant Asc derivative, but not by Asc itself.
The release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) represents a novel neutrophil effector function in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism underlying NET release and how NETs mediate end-organ injury in SLE remain
