Feulgen and actin-phalloidin staining as well as gel electrophoresis have been employed in conjunction with cell ultrastructure to describe the effects of 1-, 2-, and 4-hr ascorbate (VC), menadione (VK(3)), and ascorbate:menadione (VC:VK(3)) treatments on the T24 human bladder carcinoma cell line.
This study aimed to investigate the role of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), polysaccharides, and protein contents associated with the early events of postharvest physiological deterioration (PPD) in cassava roots. Increases in APX and GPX activity, as well as total protein
The specific role of endogenous glutathione in response to neuronal degeneration induced by trimethyltin (TMT) in the hippocampus was examined in rats. A single injection of TMT (8 mg/kg, i.p.) produced a rapid increase in the formation of hydroxyl radical and in the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA)
MN (motor neuron) death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis may be mediated by glutamatergic excitotoxicity. Previously, our group showed that the microdialysis perfusion of AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionate) in the rat lumbar spinal cord induced MN death and permanent paralysis
Iron is believed to contribute to the process of cell damage and death resulting from ischemic and traumatic insults by catalyzing the oxidation of protein and lipids. Exposure of cultured rat hippocampal neurons to iron (FeSO4) caused a dose-dependent reduction in neuronal survival, which was
In this study, a simple fluorescent detection of survival motor neuron gene (SMN) in diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) based on nucleic acid amplification test and the poly-T luminescent copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) was established. SMA is a severely genetic diseases to cause infant death in
Urate and ascorbate play a major role in the defense mechanism of the brain against oxidative damage induced by traumatic brain injury. The severity and extent of brain damage are known to increase with age. This may be due to different basal levels of endogenous antioxidants, and/or to impaired
Flower senescence was studied in Gladiolus cv. "Snow Princess" over five arbitrarily divided developmental stages (stage 1, half bloom; stage 2, full bloom; stage 3, beginning of wilting; stage 4, 50% wilting; stage 5, complete wilting) in terms of changes in fresh weight, antioxidant enzymes
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a fatal neurodegenerative disease in which upper and lower motoneurons progressively deteriorate and die. Neuronal damage is most evident in the lower central nervous system, and death generally occurs following central respiratory failure. Proposed and demonstrated
In order to study the mechanisms behind the infection process of the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea, the subcellular distribution of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) was monitored over a time frame of 96 h post inoculation (hpi) in Arabidopsis thaliana Col-0 leaves at the inoculation site (IS) and the
We investigated whether the antitumor action of sodium 5,6-benzylidene-L-ascorbate (SBA) is mediated via oxidation-involved mechanism, in three different systems: 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (DAB)-induced rat hepatocellular carcinoma (in vivo), its homogenate (semi in vivo), and cultured
Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO) mediated browning in raw fruits and vegetables is a major cause of quality deterioration in fruits and vegetables and derived food products. Here the rate of browning reaction in apple juice treated individually and in combination (1:1) of beta-Cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced during seed desiccation, germination, and ageing, leading to cellular damage and seed deterioration and, therefore, decreased seed longevity. The effects of simultaneous over-expression of two antioxidant enzymes on seed longevity and seed germination under
In dark-reared albino rats, exposure to 2 or 3 hr of intense light interrupted by 2 hr dark periods resulted in extensive degeneration of photoreceptor cells and degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Ascorbate (ie, vitamin C) administration prior to light exposure protected
Hyperglycemia and/or hypoinsulinemia have been found to inhibit L-ascorbic acid cellular transport. The resultant decrease in intracellular ascorbic acid may de-inhibit aryl sulfatase B and increase degradation of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAG). This could lead to a degeneration of the
