Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have investigated the effect of infection with COVID-19 on the levels of oxidative stress, oxidant damage and glutathione, the most abundant physiological ...
Antioxidants that reduce the pro-oxidant or oxidative stress causing action of various reactive oxygen species and free radicals also have a dark side. For example, vitamin C or ascorbic acid that ...
Naturally-derived anti-oxidants have become the 'it' health ingredient to look for in food. But researchers have now discovered that TEMPO -- a well-known artificial anti-oxidant -- is up to 100 times ...
Screening the voluminous literature describing the quantifications of antioxidant levels in patients with various clinical disorders and after the administration of supplements has revealed that ...
Cell viability assays such as Cell Titer Blue and Alamar Blue rely on the reducing property of viable cells and are commonly used as a screening method to determine the cytotoxic potential of drugs ...
In some cases, prostate cancer resists all known therapies and turns extremely deadly. Now, a discovery at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) points to a potential solution. Researchers led by CSHL ...
Oxidants found within living organisms are byproducts of metabolism and are essential to wound-healing and immunity. However, when their concentrations become too high, inflammation and tissue damage ...
Singlet oxygen is an oxidant. These chemical compounds can be beneficial—ozone in the stratosphere is one example—but can also cause stress to our lungs, contributing to the development of cancer, ...
