Chronic toxicity of verapamil on juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): Effects on morphological indices, hematological parameters and antioxidant responses
2011, Journal of Hazardous MaterialsCitation Excerpt :Oxidative substances in cells may cause an elevation of antioxidant enzymes as a defense mechanism. Brain, as the central nervous system, is poor in antioxidant defense system, because it is protected by the blood–brain barrier defending the brain from the pass of toxins, but also limiting the movement of the antioxidant [56,57]. In the present study, activity of SOD in fish brain of E2 group was significantly higher after 21 d exposure, probably due to a response to toxicant stress and serves to neutralize the impact of increased ROS generation.
Peroxynitrite-induced protein nitration contributes to liver mitochondrial damage in diabetic rats
2008, Journal of Diabetes and its ComplicationsCitation Excerpt :ONOO− and its derivatives are species with the strongest oxidation known at present (Freeman, 1994). ONOO− could cause extensive oxidative and nitrative damages, such as lipid peroxidation, protein tyrosine nitration, and DNA strand breakdown, affecting the structure of cells or organelles (Kamat, 2006; Motohashi, Takahashi, Yamagami, & Saito, 2005; Murray et al., 2003; Pinol-Ripoll et al., 2006; Salgo, Stone, Squadrito, Battista, & Pryor, 1995; Szabo, 2003; Yokozawa, Cho, Rhyu, Shibahara, & Aoyagi, 2005). Mitochondria are considered to be a primary source of ONOO− generation and the major target of nitrative damage (Cadenas, 2004; Lacza et al., 2006; Palomba et al., 2001; Turko et al., 2003).
