DNA Repair Proteins Monitored at Double-strand Break

...f double-stranded DNA caused by radiation, natural oxidants in food or the body and other toxins that can cause disease and aging. "Prior to this work, there was no practical and efficient way to find and study the DNA repair proteins that organize themselves on and around a double-strand break in human cel...

Cells in the Lung Clear the Air to Prevent Lung Damage

Air pollution and tobacco smoke contain oxidants that when inhaled can cause damage to the lungs an...he removal of lipids in the lung modified by these oxidants was identified for another protein related to MARCO, SR-AI/II. As discussed in an accompanying comme...

Stroke Linked to High Pollution Levels

...iculate matter, nitrogen dioxide and photochemical oxidants were monitored hourly at various sites. Study of the two sets of data revealed a a pattern for a stroke called intracerebral hemorrhage where a blood vessel breaks and bursts open inside the brain during the warmer months between April and Septemb...

Bone Strength Increases In Rats With Citrus Juice Breakfast – Study Say

...ystems,’ Patil said. ‘So that is the benefit since oxidants damage bone cells. ‘There are about 400 compounds in citrus,’ he said. ‘So we need to find out which compound in citrus caused this.’ Patil suspects ‘limonoid,’a natural citrus compound, which has been increasingly studied for its potential to ...

Aspirin to Prevent Deafness caused by Antibiotics

...ng to researchers the ability of Aspirin to absorb oxidants may be the reason why it works and probably other antioxidant drugs could work as well. However aspirin was simpler in use and quite inexpensive. The World Health Organization recommends amino glycosides especially for cases of drug-resistant tube...

Cabbage, cauliflower might contribute to cancer prevention

...revention. This chemical works very much like anti oxidants and can be used for cancer.// Research on this aspect is taking place across the globe and at present a feasible extraction method and thereby use in therapeutic nutrition is underway. These are a class of phytochemicals whose breakdown products ar...

Protein Carbonyl Level Causes Oxidative Protein Damage In Diabetics

... is sufficient evidence on increased production of oxidants and decreased level of antioxidants in diabetic patients. The dialysis procedure contributes to oxidative stress. An increase in oxidative stress may contribute to the development of oxidative protein damage in diabetic patients. A new study, which...

Aerobics- right choice for Cutting Blood Pressure

...lifting stimulates more damaging free radicals and oxidants than aerobic exercise. It's also important to note that many studies have shown a benefit from weight lifting on everything from bone health to weight control and body fat loss. Further research is needed to find out different typesof exercise and d...

Air Pollution Found To Accelerate Heart Disease

...chers say air pollution causes the body to produce oxidants that cause inflammatory reactions that trigger artery damage. Air particles can move into the blood or brain. However, they say the study was not large enough to make broad generalizations and they say that there's a need for further study because of...

Evidence Links Protein Damage to Neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's

...n (nitration) or oxygen (oxidation). Both types of oxidants damage lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and other cellular components much like oxidation causes rust damage to metal in cars and buildings. This damage has been implicated in causing neurodegenerative disorders. Alpha-synuclein itself is a target of...
