TLDR
Hydrogen peroxide stimulated the autoxidation and superoxide dismutase inhibited the hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidation, results which suggest the participation of hydrogenperoxide in autoxidated and in the generation of superoxide radical.

Effect of molsidomine and L-arginine in cyclosporine nephrotoxicity: role of nitric oxide.

TL;DR: Protection against CsA nephrotoxicity was attenuated by treatment with L-NAME, clearly indicating that NO plays a pivotal role in renoprotective effect of L-arginine and molsidomine against cyclosporine neph rotoxicity.

Evaluation of the in vitro and in vivo antioxidant potentials of food grade Phycocyanin.

TL;DR: In this article, food grade Phycocyanin, a nutraceutical isolated from Spirulina platensis, has been evaluated for its in vitro and in vivo antioxidant potential using a battery of antioxidant assays viz.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased oxidative stress is associated with the development of organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy.

TL;DR: The results clearly indicate that the development of OPIDN is mediated in part through an increased oxidative stress and suggest that the strategies aimed at restoration of antioxidant capacity may be beneficial for the individuals with OPIDn-like symptoms.

Involvement of the Superoxide Anion Radical in the Autoxidation of Pyrogallol and a Convenient Assay for Superoxide Dismutase

TL;DR: The autoxidation of pyrogallol was investigated in the presence of EDTA in the pH range 7.9–10.6, indicating an almost total dependence on the participation of the superoxide anion radical, O2·−, in the reaction.

The Role of Superoxide Anion in the Autoxidation of Epinephrine and a Simple Assay for Superoxide Dismutase

TL;DR: It is proposed that the autoxidation of epinephrine proceeds by at least two distinct pathways, only one of which is a free radical chain reaction involving O2- and hence inhibitable by superoxide dismutase.

The Generation of Superoxide Radical during the Autoxidation of Hemoglobin

TL;DR: Clostridial and spinach ferredoxins, reduced enzymatically by the action of ferredoxin-TPN+ oxidoreductase, have been shown to carry out the univalent reduction of oxygen.
Journal ArticleDOI

The generation of hydrogen peroxide, superoxide radical, and hydroxyl radical by 6-hydroxydopamine, dialuric acid, and related cytotoxic agents.

TL;DR: The results point to a reaction between H2O2 and O2- (Haber-Weiss reaction) as a major source of the ·OH radicals and to a combined action of blocking ·OH formation as well as accelerating its removal.
