The use of a chemically defined artificial diet as a tool to study Aedes aegypti physiology.

TL;DR: Depending on the nutritional life history of the mosquito since the larval stage, the presence of cholesterol in the diet increased egg development, suggesting that the teneral reserves in the newly hatched female are determinant of reproductive performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent developments of fluorescent probes for detection and bioimaging of nitric oxide.

TL;DR: This review focuses on organic small-molecule fluorescent probes for selective detection and imaging of endogenous NO in vitro and in vivo and suggests that fluorescence imaging is a vital and rapidly technology for real-time detection of NO in biological system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological chemistry of superoxide radicals

TL;DR: The properties and biological chemistry of superoxide radicals are considered, how they are produced, what biomolecules they react with, and the reactions that contribute to their toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rutin protects against H2O2-triggered impaired relaxation of placental arterioles and induces Nrf2-mediated adaptation in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells exposed to oxidative stress

TL;DR: Rutin functions as an antioxidant and is oxidized into a quinone that upregulates the Nrf2-mediated endogenous antioxidant response, which suggests that rutin selectively exerts its protective effects in regions with increased oxidative stress, and explains how r Rutin reduces the risk of developing CVD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluorescent in vivo imaging of reactive oxygen species and redox potential in plants.

TL;DR: This review summarized the present knowledge for in vivo plant ROS imaging and detection, using both chemical probes and fluorescent protein‐based biosensors, to fully acknowledge the remarkably complex plant ROS signalling networks.

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.
