TLDR
The data indicate that epithelial cells of the respiratory tract respond to different oxidant insults by selective induction of certain antioxidant enzymes, and gene expression of antioxidant enzymes does not appear to be coordinately regulated in these cell types.

Free Radicals in the Physiological Control of Cell Function

Wulf Dröge
TL;DR: There is growing evidence that aging involves, in addition, progressive changes in free radical-mediated regulatory processes that result in altered gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant enzymes and human diseases

TL;DR: The importance of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and catalase working together in human cells against toxic reactive oxygen species, their relationship with several pathophysiologic processes and their possible therapeutic implications are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial DNA damage is more extensive and persists longer than nuclear DNA damage in human cells following oxidative stress

TL;DR: Results indicate that mitochondrial DNA is a critical cellular target for ROS, and persistent mitochondrial DNA damage may serve as a useful biomarker for ROS-associated diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid hydroperoxide generation, turnover, and effector action in biological systems

TL;DR: An aspect of related interest that is under intensive investigation is lipid peroxidation/LOOH-mediated stress signaling, which may evoke a variety of cellular responses, ranging from induction of antioxidant enzymes to apoptotic death.

Oxidative stress, antioxidant defenses, and damage removal, repair, and replacement systems.

TL;DR: A remarkable array of systems for defense; damage removal, replacement, and repair; adaptation; growth modulation; and apoptosis make it possible for us to enjoy life in an oxygen‐rich environment.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual

TL;DR: Molecular Cloning has served as the foundation of technical expertise in labs worldwide for 30 years as mentioned in this paper and has been so popular, or so influential, that no other manual has been more widely used and influential.

Single-step method of RNA isolation by acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction

TL;DR: A new method of total RNA isolation by a single extraction with an acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform mixture is described, providing a pure preparation of undegraded RNA in high yield and can be completed within 4 h.

Macrophages and polymorphonuclear neutrophils in lung defense and injury

TL;DR: Alveolar macrophages are part of the regulatory mechanisms of PMN mobility and adherence that appears to be crucial in the initiation of some inflammatory reactions, and this supports a central role for alveolarmacrophages in the regulation of PMn traffic in the lungs.

Quantitative aspects of the production of superoxide anion radical by milk xanthine oxidase

TL;DR: It was shown that at any given pH and oxygen tension, the amount of univalently reduced oxygen, which was detectable in terms of the reduction of cytochrome c, rose as the turnover rate of the enzyme was decreased by decreasing the concentration of xanthine.
