  1. 1. Human mononuclear phagocytes : Production of reactive oxygen species generated by the NADPH oxidase

    Författare :Agneta Johansson; Roger Sundler; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Human professional phagocytes constitute the first line of defence against invading microorganisms. With a membrane-bound enzyme system, the NADPH oxidase, these cells generate bactericidal metabolites. Activation of NADPH oxidase results in a generation of reactive oxygen species, e.g. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in Animal Models of Autoimmunity

    Författare :Malin Hultqvist; Immunologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mice; Phytol; ROS; NOX; NADPH; p47phox; Ncf1; EAE; inflammation; Arthritis; RA; MS; Rats; Autoimmunity;

    Sammanfattning : Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex are important in the killing of invading pathogens. Lately, a role of ROS has been suggested in regulation of the immune system. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Inflammation in experimental neonatal brain injury and in a clinical study of preterm birth; involvement of galectin-3 and free radical formation

    Författare :Christina Doverhag; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :preterm labour; premature prelabour rupture of membranes; chorioamnionitis; hypoxia-ischemia; neonatal brain injury; NADPH oxidase; galectin-3; MMP-9; ascorbyl radicals; antioxidative capacity;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction; Intrauterine infection/inflammation is associated with preterm delivery (PTD) and severe neonatal morbidity. Inflammation is also important in the secondary neurotoxic cascade leading to perinatal brain injury. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Identification of galectins as novel inflammatory mediators

    Författare :Jenny Almkvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human neutrophils; NADPH-oxidase; Galectin-1; Galectin-3; priming; degranulation;

    Sammanfattning : The human neutrophils play important roles in the host defence against invading microorganisms. To eliminate bacteria or other invaders the neutrophils have to leave the bloodstream and cross the endothelium, migrate through the extracellular matrix towards the site of infection and phagocytose the prey to ultimately kill it.

  7. 5. The plant respiratory chain: Redox responses and catalytic definition of alternative pathways

    Författare :Daniela Geisler; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; enzymology; Proteins; Kärlväxters fysiologi; Physiology of vascular plants; Växtekologi; Plant ecology; Växtbiokemi; Plant biochemistry; respiratory chain; plant mitochondria; nitrogen; NADPH dehydrogenase; NADH dehydrogenase; alternative oxidase; calcium; Proteiner; enzymologi; Bioenergetics; Bioenergetik; Lipids; steroids; membranes; Lipider; steroider; mebran;

    Sammanfattning : The respiratory chain of plants contains both proton-pumping enzymes that conserve energy and non-proton-pumping alternative enzymes that bypass the sites of energy conservation. In addition to the proton-pumping complex I, plant mitochondria contain alternative type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases, which allow oxidation of NADH and NADPH from the matrix and the cytosol. LÄS MER
