TL;DR: The role of oxidative stress in the etiology of colorec-tal cancer is focused on and free radicals and free radical-stimulated pathways in colorectal carcinogenesis are discussed.
Abstract: Cells are continuously threatened by the damage caused by reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), which are produced during physiological oxygen metabolism. In our review, we will summarize the latest reports on the role of oxidative stress and oxidative stress-induced signaling pathways in the etiology of colorectal cancer. The differences in ROS generation may influence the levels of oxidized proteins, lipids, and DNA damage, thus contributing to the higher susceptibility of colon. Reactive species (RS) of various types are formed and are powerful oxidizing agents, capable of damaging DNA and other biomolecules. Increased formation of RS can promote the development of malignancy, and the "normal" rates of RS generation may account for the increased risk of cancer development in the aged. In this review, we focus on the role of oxidative stress in the etiology of colorec-tal cancer and discuss free radicals and free radical-stimulated pathways in colorectal carcinogenesis.

TL;DR: Retardation of light-induced chlorophyll loss occurred during senescence of Hydrilla leaves when light was given in different photoperiods in a 24-h daily cycle for 6 days instead of as continuous irradiance.
Abstract: Light treatment markedly accelerated the chlorophyll loss in senescing leaves of Hydrilla verticillata [(L.f.) Royle] as compared to dark treatment, whereas such acceleration could not be observed in senescing spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) leaves. The light-induced cholorophyll loss in Hydrilla was retarded slightly by chloramphenicol and markedly by cycloheximide. Catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) activity did not change appreciably in Hydrilla leaves either in light or in darkness, while in spinach it declined markedly in the dark, and light retarded such decline. Peroxidase activity in Hydrilla showed faster increase in light than in darkness, while in spinach it increased only in light during senescence. The activity of phenol(pyrogallol)-specific peroxidase increased markedly in light, and that of ascorbate-specific peroxidase decreased slightly both in light and darkness during senescence of Hydrilla leaves. This rise in phenolspecific peroxidase activity was prevented by cycloheximide treatment. Pretreatment of Hydrilla leaves with monophenol (2,4-dichlorophenol) and o-diphenol (hydroquinone) accelerated and retarded, respectively, the light-induced cholorophyll loss. Pretreatment of Hydrilla leaves with H2O2 augmented the chlorophyll loss more markedly in light than in darkness. The endogenous level of H2O2 increased more in light than in dark during senescence of Hydrilla leaves. Treatment of Hydrilla leaves with 3-(3.4-dichlorophenyl)-l,l-dimethylurea. a photosystem II inhibitor, prevented both light-induced rise in H2O: level and chlorophyll loss, but it was without effect in the dark. Retardation of light-induced chlorophyll loss occurred during senescence of Hydrilla leaves when light was given in different photoperiods in a 24-h daily cycle for 6 days instead of as continuous irradiance. There was a negative correlation between the length of the photoperiod and the extent of cholorophyll loss.
