To investigate O2- generation in in situ lungs of rats treated with drugs to induce experimental acute respiratory distress syndrome, phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or endotoxin were injected into rats, who had been continuously infused with 2(methyl-6-[p-methoxyphenyl]-3,7-dihydroimidazo[1,2-alpha]pyraz in-3-one (MCLA) and

Heme compound, hematin or cytochrome c, catalyzes the decomposition of 13-hydroperoxy linoleic acid yielding both O2- and 1O2 under aerobic conditions. No 1O2 is produced when hydrogen peroxide and cumene hydroperoxide are used as substrates. In these experiments, both O2-

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a representative anionic surfactant, is well-known to induce rough skin following single or multiple topical applications. The mechanism by which SLS induces rough skin is thought to result from the disruption of skin moisture function consisting
Freshwater cyanobacterial blooms are becoming increasingly problematic in regions that rely on surface waters for drinking water production. Microcystins (MCs) are toxic peptides produced by multiple cyanobacterial genera with a global occurrence. Cyanobacteria also produce a variety of other toxic
The reactive oxygen species superoxide (O2·-) is both beneficial and detrimental to life. Within corals, superoxide may contribute to pathogen resistance but also bleaching, the loss of essential algal symbionts. Yet, the role of superoxide in coral health and physiology
