Mitochondrial dysfunction has been shown to participate in the induction of apoptosis and
has even been suggested to be central to the apoptotic pathway. Indeed, opening of the …

The human body generates 10–100 billion cells every day, and the same number of cells
die to maintain homeostasis in our body. Cells infected by bacteria or viruses also die. The …

The sensitivity and specificity of three fluorescent probes used for cytofluorimetric analysis of
mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) were studied in the U937 human cell line. First, the …

Mitochondria play a pivotal role in energy metabolism, programmed cell death and oxidative
stress. Mutated mitochondrial DNA in diseased cells compromises the structure of key …

Abstract Background Chloromethyl‐X‐rosamine (CMXRos) and MitoTracker Green (MTG)
have proved to be useful dyes with which to measure mitochondrial function. CMXRos is a …

This text presents contemporary analytical techniques for the determination of heavy metals
in air particles, water, soil and biological samples. It details experimental studies to reduce …

Mitochondrial function and sperm viability were quantified in samples of cryopreserved
bovine spermatozoa from 12 bulls using fluorometric techniques. The active mitochondria of …

Apoptosis is a physiological form of cell death. Its causes and execution mechanisms are not
clearly understood. Oxidative stress, nitric oxide and its congeners, Ca2+, proteases …

The capacity for multiparametric measurement of large cell populations rapidly and
accurately offered by cytometry has made this methodology indispensable in studies of cell …

Resveratrol, a plant antibiotic, has been found to have anticancer activity and was recently
reported to induce apoptosis in the myeloid leukemia line HL60 by the CD95-CD95 ligand …
