Nitric Oxide and Peroxynitrite in Health and Disease

TL;DR: Current evidence indicates that most of the cytotoxicity attributed to NO is rather due to peroxynitrite, produced from the diffusion-controlled reaction between NO and another free radical, the superoxide anion, which is presented in detail in this review.

Oxygen-derived free radicals in postischemic tissue injury.

TL;DR: It is now clear that oxygen-derived free radicals play an important part in several models of experimentally induced reperfusion injury, and Dysfunction induced by free radicals may be a major component of ischemic diseases of the heart, bowel, liver, kidney, and brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitric oxide: an endogenous modulator of leukocyte adhesion.

TL;DR: Data suggest that endothelium-derived NO may be an important endogenous modulator of leukocyte adherence and that impairment of NO production results in a pattern ofLeukocyte adhesion and emigration that is characteristic of acute inflammation.

Myeloperoxidase: friend and foe

TL;DR: It is concluded that the MPO system plays an important role in the microbicidal activity of phagocytes and the role of theMPO system in tissue injury.

Oxygen Radicals and Human Disease

TL;DR: Attention is focused on cigarette smoke oxidants, ischemia-reperfusion-induced radical production, carcinogenesis, and aging, which may well provide a firm foundation for therapeutic breakthroughs in oxy-radical research.

Superoxide Dismutase AN ENZYMIC FUNCTION FOR ERYTHROCUPREIN (HEMOCUPREIN)

TL;DR: The demonstration that O2·- can reduce ferricytochrome c and tetranitromethane, and that superoxide dismutase, by competing for the superoxide radicals, can markedly inhibit these reactions, is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The biology of oxygen radicals

TL;DR: The reactive superoxide radical, O2-, formerly of concern only to radiation chemists and radiobiologists, is now understood to be a normal product of the biological reduction of molecular oxygen.

Oxygen-dependent microbial killing by phagocytes (second of two parts).

TL;DR: Since Metschnikoff's discovery, hundreds of scientists studying dozens of species have reported thousands of studies on these cells, perhaps the most widely recognized of which are those of the eminent English scientists.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Reduction of Cytochrome c by Milk Xanthine Oxidase

TL;DR: The data are consistent with the conclusion that xanthine oxidase generates an unstable reduced form of oxygen, presumably the superoxide anion, and that this radical is the agent which directly reduces cytochrome c and initiates the sulfite-oxygen chain reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free radicals and inflammation: protection of synovial fluid by superoxide dismutase.

TL;DR: Since phagocytizing polymorphonuclear leukocytes produce superoxide radicals, this reac-tion is sutggested and shown to be quantitatively feasible as the ini vivo mechanism of synovial fluid degradation in anl inflamed joint.
