TLDR
Estimates can be used to more fully understand the redox biochemistry that results from oxidative stress, which hopefully will provide a rationale and understanding of the cellular mechanisms associated with cell growth and development, signaling, and reductive or oxidative stress.

Free radicals and antioxidants in normal physiological functions and human disease

TL;DR: Attention is focussed on the ROS/RNS-linked pathogenesis of cancer, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, ischemia/reperfusion injury, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and ageing.
Journal ArticleDOI

How mitochondria produce reactive oxygen species.

TL;DR: The description outlined here facilitates the understanding of factors that favour mitochondrial ROS production and develops better methods to measure mitochondrial O2•− and H2O2 formation in vivo, as uncertainty about these values hampers studies on the role of mitochondrial ROS in pathological oxidative damage and redox signalling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free radicals, metals and antioxidants in oxidative stress-induced cancer

TL;DR: This review examines the evidence for involvement of the oxidative stress in the carcinogenesis process and the role of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in the process of carcinogenesis as well as the antioxidant interactions with various regulatory factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting cancer cells by ROS-mediated mechanisms: a radical therapeutic approach?

TL;DR: It is argued that modulating the unique redox regulatory mechanisms of cancer cells might be an effective strategy to eliminate these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species, cellular redox systems and apoptosis

TL;DR: A full understanding of the redox control of apoptotic initiation and execution could underpin the development of therapeutic interventions targeted at oxidative stress-associated disorders.

Cytochemical and quantitative study of protein-bound sulfhydryl and disulfide groups in eggs of Arbacia during the first cleavage

TL;DR: The results suggest that the spindle and astral fibers are composed of proteins rich in SH groups which arise from SS protein in the region of the centrosphere.

Hyperoxic lung injury in Fischer-344 and Sprague-Dawley rats in vivo.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the greater susceptibility of Fischer-344 than of Sprague-Dawley rats to hyperoxic lung injury in vitro reported previously also is observed in vivo and that this strain difference offers unique opportunities to study mechanisms of hyperoxia.

Myeloperoxidase Is Involved in H 2 O 2 -induced Apoptosis of HL-60 Human Leukemia Cells*

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the mechanism of H2O2-induced cytotoxicity and its relationship to oxidation in human leukemia cells, and concluded that the difference in H 2O2induced apoptosis might be due to the enzyme myeloperoxidase.
