  2. 6. Adipose tissue mitchondrial function is modulated by antioxidants

    Author : Eduard Peris Franquet; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adipocyte; metabolism; browning; antioxidant; mitochondria; oxidative stress; adrenergic recpetor; N-acetylcysteine; glutathione; reactive oxygen species;

    Abstract : Antioxidants are widely used as reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging agents in experimental research and in conditions where oxidative stress plays a primary role. However, the effect of antioxidant supplementation on white and brown adipose tissue functionality is understudied, and the role of ROS and/or antioxidant treatment during adipose tissue browning, a process in which the adipocytes’ mitochondrial density and activity increase, is largely unknown.

  4. 7. Antioxidative Properties of Herring (Clupea harengus) Press Juice in Food, In Vitro and In Vivo Model Systems

    Author : Thippeswamy Sannaveerappa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; antioxidants; monocytes; washed cod mince; Clupea harengus; LDL oxidation; press juice; oxidation; ORAC; hemoglobin; alpha-tocopherol; herring; in vitro digestion.;

    Abstract : Some species like herring (Clupea harengus) are currently under-utilized due to their small size, dark colour and susceptibility to lipid oxidation. Our hypothesis has been that the high susceptibility of herring to oxidation makes it well equipped with natural antioxidants, both fat and water soluble ones. READ MORE

  5. 8. Oxidative mechanisms in London Familial Alzheimer´s disease and LPS-induced inflammation

    Author : Katarina Reis; Tiit Land; Maria de Sousa; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurochemistry; Neurokemi; Neurochemistry and Molecular Neurobiology; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi;

    Abstract : Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is the most common of the progressive neurodegenerative disorders and is characterized by the formation of Aβ deposits, neurofibrillary tangles and loss of neurons. Additional features of the disease are inflammation, increased oxidative stress and modified iron metabolism. READ MORE

  6. 9. Identification and functional characterization of novel thioredoxin systems

    Author : Anastasios E Damdimopoulos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Antioxidants; Reactive Oxygen Species; Tbioredoxin; Tbioredoxin Reductase;

    Abstract : Thioredoxins (Trx) are a class of small multifunctional 12-kDa proteins that are characterized by the redox active site Trp-Cys-Gly-Pro-Cys (WCGPC). In the oxidized (inactive) form of Trx (Trx-S2), the two cysteines at the active site form a disulfide bond. READ MORE

  7. 10. Toxicity and biocompatibility of nanoparticles, and studies on oxidative stress and DNA damage

    Author : Ylva Rodhe; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Oxidative stress is associated with several diseases, either as a cause or a consequence. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one example of a disease in which elevated levels of oxidative stress are frequently reported. READ MORE
