Previous studies in beta(s) sickle cell mice demonstrated renal immunostaining for nitrotyrosine, which is putative evidence of peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) formation. ONOO(-) is known to nitrate tyrosine residues of various enzymes, thereby interfering with phosphorylation and inactivating them. The present study

Doxorubicin (DOX) and Trastuzumab (TRAST) are effective agents for the treatment of many neoplastic diseases. Cardiotoxicity is a major side effect of these drugs and limit their use. In this study, the possible protective effects of melatonin (MEL), mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG)

Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species participate in the inflammatory process during meningitis. Among them, superoxide, nitric oxide (NO), and their reaction product peroxynitrite exert cytotoxic effects. Mercaptoethylguanidine (MEG) exerts beneficial effects in in vivo inflammatory conditions by scavenging peroxynitrite and

We investigated the early events involved in loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(mt)) leading to apoptosis in cells derived from patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia after exposure to phenolic antioxidants. Using the nitric oxide binding dye diaminofluorescein-FM diacetate, we found
