Energetics and Mechanism of Boron/Oxidant Combustion Reactions
… heats of reaction of the four fuel/oxidant systems have been measured by the use of bomb calorimetry, the results being discussed in relation to the probable reactions taking place in each system. Conclusions have been drawn as to the nature of the reactions which provide heat …

Vasomotor and anti-oxidant effects of anti-ischaemic therapies.
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a fundamental role in vascular homeostasis including vasomotor tone, platelet adhesion and aggregation. The current studies examine various aspects of NO responses, including: the methodology for assessment of vascular NO responses, and identification of factors reponsible …

Anti-oxidant Action and Anti-aging Activity of Phenylpropanoid Compounds
… we measured effects of phenylpropanoids on anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity and effect of caffeic acid on wound healing in skin-incised mice. Materials & methods: The cinnamic acid derivaties, C_(6)-C₃ compounds, of Penylpropanoids are used. To investigegate the effects of anti-oxidant …

A NOVEL PRO-OXIDANT ROLE OF GELSOLIN IN CANCER CELL INVASION
… a new role of gelsolin in creating a pro-oxidant milieu thereby enhancing cancer cell invasion. Increased gelsolin expression in HCT116 results in heightened ROS levels, particularly the superoxides (O2-) as well as increased invasion; whereas silencing of gelsolin reduces O2- levels and …

Is light or ozone the active oxidant for self-assembled monolayers?
Includes bibliographical references (pages 51-54).

Role of Toll-Like Receptor 4 in Oxidant-induced Inflammatory Phenotypes in Macrophages
… the mediatory role of TLR4 in exogenous oxidant induced nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation in macrophage RAW-Blue cells with stable transfection of NF-κB reporter gene SEAP. Our results show that inhibition of TLR4 significantly attenuated oxidant-induced NF-κB activation, which caused …

Photochemical oxidant air pollution : peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) as an indicator of photochemical activity
… As the major component of the photochemical oxidants is ozone, it is used as the indicator of photochemical smog and air quality standards today are therefore based on ozone. Another important photochemical oxidant is peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN). Many authors believe that PAN is a better …

Disulfide Bond Formation: Identifying Roles of PDI Family Thiol Oxidoreductases and ER Oxidant Pathways
Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) catalyze the oxidation and isomerization of disulfide bonds in proteins passing through the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Although as many as 20 enzymes are classified as PDI family members, their relative contributions to protein folding have remained an open …

Potential anti-oxidant benefits of rosemary extract on fry life response of cottonseed oil
… of cottonseed oil with synthetic and natural antioxidants during frying of potato chips. Control cottonseed oil, cottonseed oil with synthetic antioxidant (TBHQ), and cottonseed oil with natural antioxidant (rosemary extract) was heated to a temperature of 370°F and 30 batches of potato chips were …

Oxidant-dependent regulation of L-type calcium channel activity by angiotensin in vascular smooth muscle
Resistance arteries are a major point of physiological regulation of blood flow. Increases in vessel wall stress or sympathetic activity stimulate vascular wall angiotensin signaling, resulting in smooth muscle contraction which directly increases peripheral resistance. Calcium influx through …

Kinetic studies of ethane dehydrogenation using carbon dioxide as mild oxidant over gallium aluminum mixed oxide
… the effects of utilizing CO2 as the mild oxidant in ethane dehydrogenation. Based on the kinetic experiments as well as the catalyst characterization, we propose that CO2 does not directly participate in the ethane dehydrogenation. On the other hand, it serves as a mild oxidant oxidizing …

INTRAMOLECULAR CARBON-NITROGEN COUPLING FROM ISOLATED MONOHYDROCARBYL PALLADIUM(IV) COMPLEXES PREPARED USING H2O2 AS TERMINAL OXIDANT
… a Pd(II)/Pd(IV) cycle using H2O2 as terminal oxidant. In this effort, di-2-pyridylketone(dpk) ligated palladacycles were synthesized, oxidized with H2O2, and the reductive elimination of the high oxidation state Pd(IV, d6) containing species monitored. N-R-2-aminobiphenyl – derived substrates …

The anti-fungal and anti-oxidant properties of polyphenols extracted from the resurrection plant, Myrothamnus flabellifolia
In this study the effects of M. flabellifolia polyphenols on growth of S. cerevisiae yeast strains was investigated. This study showed that M flabellifolia polyphenols inhibited growth of both the wild type and the Δhsp 12 yeast strains largely by binding protein in the growth medium. A decreased …

Studies on pro-oxidant cytochrome P450 enzymes as drug discovery tools and the discovery that they also have a dual function as antioxidants
… etc. Hence, CYPs are thought to function as pro-oxidants, allowing addition of oxygen to unreactive carbon atoms. However, CYPs also act as electron sinks, indicating that it may inherently possess anti-oxidant properties. This has never been investigated before. This was probed using …
