Nonprotein-bound iron (NPBI) and F2-isoprostanes, reliable markers of oxidative stress, are increased in plasma of newborns and inversely correlated to the gestational age. Because NPBI represents a pro-oxidant stimulus in plasma, we test the hypothesis that the entity of lipid

The aim of this study was to compare the protective effects of green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and other well-known antioxidants on the lipid peroxidation in gerbil brain homogenates. Oxidative stress was induced by H2O2 (10 mM) or ferrous
The key factors that control the spread and mortality rate of tuberculosis (TB) are rapid detection and diagnosis. However, the current detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) cannot meet the recommended requirements for clinical diagnosis in turnaround time. In this

The antioxidant activity of flavonoids may involve their ability to complex body iron in non-redox-active forms. In this study, it was found that the catechol flavonoids rutin and quercetin are able to suppress redox-active labile plasma iron (LPI) in both
Journal of neurosurgical anesthesiology, 17(3), 144-148 (2005-07-23)
This study compared the effectiveness of propofol with that of trolox and melatonin for reduction of lipid peroxidation in vitro. Lipid peroxidation was induced by addition of kainic acid (KA; 10 mM), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2; 10 mM), or ferrous ammonium
