Action of Hydrogen Peroxide on Synaptic Transmission at the Mouse Neuromuscular Junction.

TL;DR: The effective inhibition of neurotransmitter release by ROS, which was proportional to the intensity of synaptic activity at the neuromuscular junction, was revealed and the combination of various oxidants suggested an intracellular location for redox-sensitive sites responsible for modulation of the synaptic transmission in the skeletal muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential nanomedicine applications of multifunctional carbon nanoparticles developed using green technology

TL;DR: This study focused on the preparation of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) using edible yogurt drink (lassi) by microwave irradiation and demonstrated that CNPs had average size and doxorubicin was used as model molecule to evaluate sythesized CNPs for their efficacy in drug delivery.

Phenolic extracts from whole wheat biofortified bread dampen overwhelming inflammatory response in human endothelial cells and monocytes: major role of VCAM-1 and CXCL-10

TL;DR: The bread biofortified with selected durum wheat milling by-products is suggested as a source of phenolic acids with multiple anti-inflammatory and anti-atherosclerotic properties, which could help to counteract or prevent inflammatory vascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blocking mitochondrial cyclophilin D ameliorates TSH-impaired defensive barrier of artery

TL;DR: It is revealed that elevated TSH triggers mitochondrial perturbations in ECs and insights are provided that blocking mitochondrial CypD enhances the defensive ability of ECs under TSH exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Titania coating of mesoporous silica nanoparticles for improved biocompatibility and drug release within blood vessels.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that titania coating of MSNs significantly improves their biocompatibility and uptake within aortic blood vessels and furthermore, enables a slower and more sustained release of the vasodilator drug, sodium nitroprusside within the vessel, thus making them an attractive strategy for the treatment of vascular disease.

ROS as signalling molecules: mechanisms that generate specificity in ROS homeostasis

TL;DR: The pathways that regulate ROS homeostasis are crucial for mitigating the toxicity of ROS and provide strong evidence about specificity in ROS signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of the probe 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin as an indicator of reactive oxygen species formation and oxidative stress.

TL;DR: Data suggest that H2O2-Fe(2+)-derived oxidant is mainly responsible for the nonenzymatic oxidation of DCFH, which remains an attractive probe as an overall index of oxidative stress in toxicological phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconciling the chemistry and biology of reactive oxygen species

TL;DR: This review examines how target selectivity and antioxidant effectiveness vary for different oxidants and highlights areas where greater understanding is required on the fate of oxidants generated by cellular NADPH oxidases and on the identification of oxidant sensors in cell signaling.
Journal Article

Flow cytometric studies of oxidative product formation by neutrophils: a graded response to membrane stimulation.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the DCFH oxidation assay is quantitatively related to the oxidative metabolic burst of PMNL, and they strongly suggest that the reaction is mediated by H2O2 generated by the PMNL.
