1. 1. Bioelectronic Approaches for On-Demand Generation of Reactive Oxygen Species

   Författare :Eva Miglbauer; Eric Glowacki; Oliya Abdullaeva; Lars Peter Nielsen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ROS; ORR; WOR; Fenton reaction; Electrolysis; Bioelectronics;

   Sammanfattning : Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are an integral part of our lives. They perform essential functions in our biology and are, due to their high oxidative power, key molecules in advanced oxidation processes in industrial applications such as treatment of wastewater. LÄS MER

3. 2. Exploring Novel Catalytic Chalcogenide Antioxidants

   Författare :Henrik Johansson; Lars Engman; Helena Grennberg; Troels Skrydstrup; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antioxidant; tellurium; selenium; catalytic; toxicity; ROS; neutrophil; glutathione peroxidase mimic; macrophage.; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Kemi med inriktning mot organisk kemi; Chemistry with specialization in Organic Chemistry;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the synthesis and evaluation of regenerable chalcogen containing antioxidants. Variously substituted 2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]selenophene-5-ol antioxidants were evaluated in order to gain information about structure/reactivity-relationships. LÄS MER

4. 3. Cell-penetrating peptide targeting mitochondria : Design, synthesis, characterization, and biological effects

   Författare :Carmine Pasquale Cerrato; Ülo Langel; Lena Mäler; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cell-penetrating peptide; mitochondrial targeting; ROS reduction; mitochondrial membrane potential; antioxidant activity; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

   Sammanfattning : More than twenty years after the discovery of the first cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), a large number of both naturally occurring as well as engineered CPPs have been discovered. Generally, CPPs are short polycationic sequences of less than 30 amino acids that are able to translocate different cargoes into cells. LÄS MER

5. 4. Alpha-1-microglobulin, heme-binding protein, reductase and antioxidant

   Författare :Maria Allhorn; Infektionsmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reduction; inflammation; chronic ulcers; collagen; low density lipoproteins; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; antioxidation; heme; hemoglobin; alpha-1-microglobulin; lipocalin;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis describes structural and functional studies of alpha-1-microglobulin (a1m), a 26 kDa plasma and tissue protein that is evolutionarily well-conserved and belongs to the lipocalin superfamily. The lipocalins are polypeptides of 160-190-amino acids that are folded into an 8-stranded beta-barrel forming a pocket with a hydrophobic interior. LÄS MER

7. 5. Effects of Antioxidants and Pro-oxidants on Oxidative Stress and DNA Damage using the Comet Assay : Studies on Blood Cells from Type 2 Diabetes Subjects and Mouse Lymphoma Cells

   Författare :Rikard Åsgård; Björn Hellman; Leif Busk; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; metabolic syndrome; fruit and vegetable intake; plasma antioxidants; beta-carotene; alpha-tocopherol; inflammation; oxidative DNA damage; lipid peroxidation; mouse lymphoma assay; ROS; nucleotide pool; viability; DNA dye; Toxicology; Toxikologi;

   Sammanfattning : Diet and oral supplements comprise two distinct sources of antioxidants known to prevent oxidative stress. Beneficial effects from antioxidants have been seen for patients at risk for type 2 diabetes.The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the positive effects of antioxidants against oxidative stress and DNA damage in type 2 diabetes subjects.
