The NOX Family of ROS-Generating NADPH Oxidases: Physiology and Pathophysiology

TL;DR: This review summarizes the current state of knowledge of the functions of NOX enzymes in physiology and pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological defense mechanisms. The production by leukocytes of superoxide, a potential bactericidal agent.

TL;DR: O(2) (-) is made by leukocytes under circumstances which suggest that it may be involved in bacterial killing, and is identified as the agent responsible for the leukocyte-mediated reduction of cytochrome c.

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.

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.

A photometric adaptation of the somogyi method for the determination of glucose

TL;DR: In this paper, the reliability of the various Somogyi-Shaffer-Hartmann (SHH) copper reagents for glucose determination in biological material has been established, which can be accomplished by omission of the iodide and iodate in their preparation, since these interfere with the molybdate color reagents.
Journal ArticleDOI

The determination of glycogen

TL;DR: Data presented in Table I show that the “sugar,” obtained from tissues after acid hydrolysis and mercury precipitation, comprises in every instance non-fermentable reducing substances having no relationship to glycogen, and that the amount of these substances is sufficient to cause gross errors.
