Campylobacter jejuni : biofilm formation and oxidative stress
(2009)Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni) is a zoonotic pathogen most often associated with poultry and the leading cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in the developed world. It is an obligate microaerobe, requiring low levels of ... -
Cardiac oxidative stress and antioxidant status in response to radiation and monocrotaline induced cardiac dysfunction
(2016)Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Oxidative stress has been implicated in many types of cardiovascular disease. Chronic cardiac stress conditions have been shown to be associated ... -
The cumulative effects of hypoxia and hyperglycemia on cardiac oxidative stress
(2014-01-22)Hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress plays an important role in cardiomyocyte cell death leading to cardiac dysfunction. Autophagy is an intracellular bulk degradation process and can be induced by stressors such as ... -
Cystathionine γ-lyase and hypoxia : implicating hydrogen sulfide in the hypoxic stress response
(2012-11-10)Hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) has emerged as a novel and important gasotransmitter for the cardiovascular system, where it is generated mainly by cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE). Abnormal metabolism and functions of the H2 S/CSE ... -
The effect of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on lipid composition, oxidative stress, and aldehyde concentrations in rat liver and brain
(2014-01-22)Oxidative stress is caused by an imbalance between the production and removal of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), due to their multiple carbon-carbon double bonds, react readily with ROS ... -
In vitro antioxidant and antibacterial activity of twenty-one Northern Ontario medicinal plants
(2014-01-22)Aboriginal communities in the northern Ontario region utilize an abundance of locally grown medicinal plants. However, no prior documentation or phytochemical studies on the northern Ontario medicinal plants existed in ... -
Lipoic acid and its potential role in the treatment of oxidative-induced injury of A549 lung epithelial cells
(2013-02-01)Oxidative stress is the imbalance between prooxidants and antioxidants within a cell that can cause and/or contribute to the progression of many pathological conditions. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed from the ... -
Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside reduces cell death and upregulates antioxidants in cardiac iron overload
(2016)Iron is essential to many biological and metabolic processes used in all organisms, but excess iron can result in complications such as cirrhosis, diabetes, and heart failure. Cardiac iron overload has been linked to ...
