1. Oxidative stress in sepsis. Possible production of free radicals through an erythrocyte-mediated positive feedback mechanism
Abstract Background: Sepsis is an illness with a high morbidity for which no effective treatment exists. Its treatment has a high cost because it usually requires an intensive care unit and expensive antibiotics. The present study focus in the production of reactive oxygen species in the early stages of sepsis. This study aimed at investigating the producti

2. LNO3 AND L3 Are Associated With Antiproliferative And Pro-Apoptotic Action In Hepatoma Cells
Abstract The identification of antitumoral substances is the focus of intense biomedical research. Two structural analogues of thalidomide, LNO3 and L3, are two synthetic compounds that might possess such antitumor properties. We evaluated the toxicological effects of these substances, including cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and induction of apoptosis in HTC ce

3. Resistance of oxidative stress in biofilm and planktonic cells
This work studied the susceptibility of biofilm produced by E. coli to oxidative stress, and compared the components of free radicals defences: level of glutathione, catalase and dismutase activities in planktonic and biofilm located cells. Results showed the diversity of responses to oxidative stress in bacterial cells in log or stationary phases in both pl

4. Pathophysiology of bacterial infection of the central nervous system and its putative role in the pathogenesis of behavioral changes
Invasion of the central nervous system (CNS) by microorganisms is a severe and frequently fatal event during the course of many infectious diseases. It may lead to deafness, blindness, cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, cognitive impairment or permanent neurological dysfunction in survivors. Pathogens can cross the blood-brain barrier by transcellular migration,

5. Acetilação radicalar de amino ácidos, peptídeos e nucleobases pelos sistemas biacetilo/peroxinitrito e metilglioxal/peroxinitrito / Radical acetylation of aminoacids, peptides, and nucleobases by the biacetyl or methylglyoxal/peroxynitrite systems
Biacetilo (2,3-butanediona) é um contaminante de comida e cigarro, também implicado na hepatoxicidade do álcool e em doenças pulmonares. O metilglioxal (MG), um α-oxoaldeído reativo frequentemente associado ao diabetes e envelhecimento, é produto da fragmentação oxidativa de trioses fosfato, acetona e aminoacetona. Por sua vez, peroxinitrito - u

6. Antioxidant effects of crude extracts from Baccharis species: inhibition of myeloperoxidase activity, protection against lipid peroxidation, and action as oxidative species scavenger
The objective of this study was to show a comparison of the antioxidant properties of aqueous and ethanolic extracts obtained from Baccharis articulata (Lam.) Pers., Baccharis trimera (Less.) DC., Baccharis spicata (Lam.) Baill. and Baccharis usterii Heering, Asteraceae, by several techniques covering a range of oxidant species and of biotargets. We have inv

7. Hypertonic saline and reduced peroxynitrite formation in experimental pancreatitis
OBJECTIVES: In this study, we tested the hypothesis that hypertonic saline exerts anti-inflammatory effects by modulating hepatic oxidative stress in pancreatitis. INTRODUCTION: The incidence of hepatic injury is related to severe pancreatitis, and hypertonic saline reduces pancreatic injury and mortality in pancreatitis. METHODS: Wistar rats were divided in

8. Geração de espécies reativas por exossomos plaquetários: um possível novo mecanismo de disfunção vascular na sepse / Generation of reactive oxygen species by platelet-derived exosomes: a possible novel mechanism of vascular dysfunction in sepsis
Sepsis, the bodys response to infection, is associated with high mortality rates. Why a protective mechanism turns into a deadly clinical picture is a matter of debate, and goes largely unexplained. In previous work we demonstrated that plateled derived exosomes are found in the plasma of septic patients with septic shock and can induce endothelial and vascu

9. Interações de peroxirredoxinas citossólicas da levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae com peróxidos. Estudos cinéticos e funcionais / Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytosolic peroxiredoxin interactions with peroxides. Kinetics and functional studies
Peroxiredoxins constitute a family of cysteine-based peroxidases that are able to reduce hydrogen peroxide, organic peroxides and peroxinitrite to water, alcohol and nitrite, respectively, through the use of reducing equivalents provided by thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase and NADPH. Peroxiredoxins are abundant enzymes (correspond to approximately 0.7% of

10. Estudo das propriedades antioxidantes de complexos nitrosilados de rutênio
This study shows the antioxidant and secondary the cytotoxic activity of five different ruthenium nitrosyl complexes: trans-[Ru(NH3)4(L)(NO)]Cl3 (A - D; being (A) L = Caffeine, (B) L = Theophylline, (C) L = Methyl-1-imidazole, (D) L = Benzoimidazole), and (E) cis-[Ru(NH3)4(NO)2]Cl3. Only the complex (A) (L = Caffeine) presented significant reactivity identif

11. Oxidação e nitração de proteínas mediadas por peroxinitrito e peroxidases. Mecanismos, inibição por tempol e implicações patofisiológicas / Oxidation and nitration of proteins by peroxynitrite and peroxidases. Mechanisms, tempol inhibition and patophysiological implications
The oxidants derived from peroxynitrite and peroxidase enzymes, such as myeloperoxidase (MPO), and the lesions they promote in proteins are being extensively investigated because of their relevance in inflammatory processes. Here, the proteins RNase and lysozyme were employed as targets of oxidations/nitrations mediated by peroxynitrite and MPO/H

12. Proteção antioxidante promovida por astaxantina sobre citocromo c, incorporado em vesículas e desafiado com SIN-1 / Antioxidant Protection Promoted by Astaxanthin over Cytochrome c Incorporated in Vesicles and Challenged with SIN-1
A astaxantina (AST) é um carotenóide derivado do β-caroteno produzido por algas e cianobactérias, mas que também pode ser encontrada em animais marinhos. Em animais, é reportada como interceptadora de radicais de oxigênio mais eficiente que o β-caroteno. O objetivo central dessa dissertação foi avaliar a capacidade antioxidante da AST em li
