Journal ArticleDOI
Toxic Metals and Oxidative Stress Part I: Mechanisms Involved in Me-tal induced Oxidative Damage
TL;DR: It is suggested that metal-induced oxidative stress in cells can be partially responsible for the toxic effects of heavy metals, suggesting the importance of using antioxidants in heavy metal poisoning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can Antioxidants Be Beneficial in the Treatment of Lead Poisoning
Hande Gurer,Nuran Ercal +1 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that antioxidants may play an important role in abating some hazards of lead, and that restoration of a cell's antioxidant capacity appears to provide a partial remedy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant effects of N-acetylcysteine and succimer in red blood cells from lead-exposed rats
TL;DR: In vivo evidence is provided supporting the hypothesis that lead induces oxidative stress in RBCs, which is reversible by treatment with a thiol antioxidant (NAC), as well as a chelating agent (succimer).
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of glutathione, glutathione disulfide, cysteine, homocysteine, and other biological thiols by high-performance liquid chromatography following derivatization by n-(1-pyrenyl)maleimide.
TL;DR: A new method for measurement of glutathione and other biological thiols utilizing reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography to separate and quantify these derivatives is described, offering some advantages over the currently accepted techniques, including specificity, speed, sensitivity, and ease of use.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIV-1 viral proteins gp120 and Tat induce oxidative stress in brain endothelial cells.
TL;DR: These studies show that both HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein and transregulatory protein can induce oxidative stress in immortalized BBB endothelial cells.
