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.

Chemopreventive Effects of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine-Induced Colon Carcinogenesis in Rats

TL;DR: Results show that celecoxib was found to be more effective in reducing the ACF occurrence and aggregates of lymphoid tissue than the nonselective COX inhibitor aspirin, and suggests a possible chemoprevention modality in colon cancer.

Effect of Different Levels of Soil Applied Copper on the Morpho-physiological, Photochemical, and Antioxidant System of Brassica juncea

TL;DR: In this article, the potential role of different Cu concentrations (30, 60, and 90) on Brassica juncea cv. Varuna plants was assessed at 30, 45, and 60 days after sowing.

Acteoside Isolated from Colebrookea oppositifolia Smith Attenuates Epilepsy in Mice Via Modulation of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid Pathways

TL;DR: The anti-PTZ action of acteoside was completely blocked in the presence of flumazenil, and thus confirmed the GABAergic mechanism behind the anticonvulsant activity of act eoside.

Exposure to 50-HZ Sinusoidal Electromagnetic Field Induces Changes in the Antioxidant Defense System and Inhibits Lipid Peroxidation in Mice

TL;DR: Magnetic fields of 2 and 10 mT seem to have a differential effect and organhissue specificity on the status of antioxidant enzymes in animals exposed to 2-mT fields.

Possible modulation of PPAR-γ cascade against depression caused by neuropathic pain in rats.

TL;DR: It may be concluded that the oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain and depression as evidenced by the behavioral studies and the changes in the levels of lipid peroxidase, nitrite, catalase, and glutathione and SOD.

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.
