Bacillus thuringiensis induces cellular stress in the mosquito vector, Culex pipiens, prior to death.

TL;DR: Investigation of oxidative stress and apoptotic signs detectable by flow cytometry as proposed pathogenicity mechanisms for the mosquitocidal bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis in the mosquito vector showed elevation in the levels of the oxidative stress biomarkers, the lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation, upon Bt-infection.

A Pilot Study: Parent Perceptions of Behavior Change in Their Child With Autism Spectrum Disorder Following High Antioxidant Cacao Consumption.

TL;DR: Results from this study support previous literature on antioxidant intake as an adjunct therapy to improve behaviors of children with ASD.

New Research on Antioxidants

TL;DR: This paper presents an experimental approach for recovery of Phenolics from Wine-Making by-Products using Histidine-Containing Dipeptides as Hydrophilic Tissue Antioxidants and a novel 88 kDa Acute Phase Protein in Inflammations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Valproic acid induces nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 expression in fetal and neonatal brains but not in adult brain: evidence of the gamma-aminobutyric acid-shift hypothesis.

TL;DR: Results imply support of the GABA-shift hypothesis in that VPA may exert its developmental damage in the fetal and neonatal periods through excitotoxicity.

The Association Between Oxidative Stress, Cellular Differentiation And Galectins In Human Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells (HL-60)

TL;DR: It is suggested that the manuscript should be rewritten in a chapters-by- chapters format to facilitate more detailed discussion of the author’s motivations and methods.

Role of free radicals and catalytic metal ions in human disease: an overview.

TL;DR: The chapter discusses the metabolism of transition metals, such as iron and copper, and the chelation therapy that is an approach to site-specific antioxidant protection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitric oxide: a cytotoxic activated macrophage effector molecule.

TL;DR: The results suggest that nitric oxide is the precursor of nitrite/nitrate synthesized by cytotoxic activated macrophages and, via formation of iron-nitric oxide complexes and subsequent degradation of Iron-sulfur prosthetic groups, an effector molecule.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mitochondrial death/life regulator in apoptosis and necrosis

TL;DR: The acquisition of the biochemical and ultrastructural features of apoptosis critically relies on the liberation of apoptogenic proteases or protease activators from mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroglial activation and neuroinflammation in the brain of patients with autism

TL;DR: It is indicated that innate neuroimmune reactions play a pathogenic role in an undefined proportion of autistic patients, suggesting that future therapies might involve modifying neuroglial responses in the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological effects of the superoxide radical.

TL;DR: Can the superoxide radical exert deleterious effects independent of participating with H2O2 in the production of the hydroxyl radical?
