Providing a comprehensive review of reactions of oxidation for different classes of organic
compounds and polymers, and biological processes mediated by free radicals, Oxidation …

Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important role as a cell-signalling molecule, anti-infective agent
and, as most recently recognised, an antioxidant. The metabolic fate of NO gives rise to a …

Peroxynitrite promotes oxidative damage and is implicated in the pathophysiology of various
diseases that involve accelerated rates of nitric oxide and superoxide formation. The …

The oxidative modification of proteins by reactive oxygen species (ROS) 1 or other reactive
substances (RS) is implicated in the etiology or progression of a number of physiological …

Peroxynitrite, the product of the fast reaction between nitric oxide (• NO) and superoxide O
2•− radicals, is an oxidizing and nitrating agent which is able to traverse biological …

In the course of their life span, aerobic organisms are exposed to diverse reactive oxygen
species (ROS) that may directly or indirectly cause damage to proteins. As shown in Fig. 1 …

Oxidation of meat occurs under postmortem conditions and is inevitable. This oxidation
includes the biochemical changes in meat leading to changes in color pigments and lipids …

Flash photolysis of alkaline peroxynitrite solutions results in the formation of nitrogen
monoxide and superoxide. From the rate of recombination it is concluded that the rate …

Proteins are targets of reactive species and detection of oxidatively modified proteins is often
used as an index of oxidative stress. Peroxynitrite is a strong oxidant formed by reaction of …

Exposure of human spermatozoa to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)
resulted in the dose dependent generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which, at a …
