Relevance of the ability of fructose 1,6-bis(phosphate) to sequester ferrous but not ferric ions
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
The cytoprotective activity of F16BP has been documented in severe conditions such as convulsions, reperfusion injury, septic shock, diabetic complications, hypothermia-induced injury, UV-provoked skin damage and in other ...
The reaction of methionine with hydroxyl radical: reactive intermediates and methanethiol production
(Springer Wien, Wien, 2012)
The mechanisms of reaction of methionine with hydroxyl radical are not fully understood. Here, we unequivocally show using electron paramagnetic resonance spin-trapping spectroscopy and GC-FID and GC-MS, the presence of ...
Effects of genistein and daidzein on erythrocyte membrane fluidity: an electron paramagnetic resonance study
(Natl Research Council Canada-N R C Research Press, Ottawa, 2010)
The maintenance of erythrocyte membrane fluidity at the physiological level is an important factor affecting the ability of erythrocytes to pass through blood vessels of small luminal diameter. Genistein and daidzein, which ...
The interactions of vanadium with Phycomyces blakesleeanus mycelium: enzymatic reduction, transport and metabolic effects
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2013)
The biological and chemical basis of vanadium action and transport in fungi is relatively poorly understood. In this study we investigated the interactions of vanadium in physiologically-relevant redox states: vanadate ...
Binding of transition metals to monosilicic acid in aqueous and xylem (Cucumis sativus L.) solutions: a low-T electron paramagnetic resonance study
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2016)
The supplementation of monosilicic acid [Si(OH)(4)] to the root growing medium is known to protect plants from toxic levels of iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and manganese (Mn), but also to mitigate deficiency of Fe and Mn. However, ...
Further in vitro evaluation of antiradical and antimicrobial activities of phytol
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2014)
The antiradical activity of phytol was evaluated by electron paramagnetic resonance towards hydroxyl radical (root OH), superoxide anion radical (), methoxy radical (root CH2OH), carbon-dioxide anion radical (), as well ...
Further in vitro evaluation of antiradical activity of the moss Rhodobryum ontariense tea using EPR and fluorescence spectroscopy
(Adac-Cryptogamie, Paris, 2014)
The moss Rhodobryum ontariense tea has been claimed by Traditional Chinese medicine for its beneficial effects in the treatment of wide range of cardiovascular diseases including hypertension. The antiradical activity of ...
A bryozoan species may offer novel antioxidants with anti-carbon-dioxide anion radical activity
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2014)
The antiradical activity of the freshwater bryozoan Hyalinella punctata water extracts (two samples, seasonal collection) was evaluated by using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy against hydroxyl (zOH), superoxide ...
Sodium sulphide relaxation of rat uterus is related to calcium signaling
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2014)
H2S was shown as an uterine relaxant. However, the signaling pathways, including ion channels regulated by H2S mediating relaxation in uterus are still unknown. The effects on contractility in response to sodium sulphide ...
Liposomal integration method for assessing antioxidative activity of water insoluble compounds towards biologically relevant free radicals: example of avarol
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2020)
The liposomal integration method, in conjunction with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, has been presented for the investigation of antioxidant activity of selected water-insoluble compound towards ...
