DetailsWhile the role of oxidative stress as a contributor to liver diseases is undisputed, it is not yet clear whether targeting oxidative stress pathways offers therapeutic benefits. This is certainly the case in acute liver injury due to acetaminophen toxicity, where the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is used as the first line of treatment.
Details1. Introduction. The concept of oxidative stress (OS) first emerged in 1985 in reference to an imbalance between the oxidants which attack the cell and the antioxidants responsible for defending it, leading to the disruption in redox signaling and control, and thus causing molecular damage (Sies Citation 2015).This hypothesis prompted extensive research on …
DetailsGRIGOROV B., et al. Trakia Journal of Sciences, Vol. 12, № 3, 2014 239 superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. The levels of "real time" biomarkers of oxidative stress such as ascorbate radicals (Asc .) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) products were also studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. MATERIALS AND …
DetailsOxidative stress (OS) is characteristic of a diverse set of physiological and pathophysiological states. For example, human health problems associated with oxidative stress include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, myocardial infarction, cancer, diabetes, various inflammations, renal failure, and atherosclerosis as well as aging. It …
