Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which were originally characterized in terms of their
harmful effects on cells and invading microorganisms, are increasingly implicated in various …

Oxidative stress has long been implicated in cardiovascular disease, but more recently, the
role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in normal physiological signaling has been …

Cellular exposure to ionizing radiation leads to oxidizing events that alter atomic structure
through direct interactions of radiation with target macromolecules or via products of water …

The earliest mention of the term cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) came about from a 2004
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Working Group conference evaluating the …

For a long time, superoxide generation by an NADPH oxidase was considered as an oddity
only found in professional phagocytes. Over the last years, six homologs of the cytochrome …

Significance: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a critical role in vascular disease. While
there are many possible sources of ROS, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate …

Nitric oxide (radical dot NO) is synthetized enzymatically from l-arginine (l-Arg) by three NO
synthase isoforms, iNOS, eNOS and nNOS. The synthesis of NO is selectively inhibited by …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as by-products of cellular metabolism,
primarily in the mitochondria. When cellular production of ROS overwhelms its antioxidant …

This review focuses on the role of oxidative processes in atherosclerosis and its resultant
cardiovascular events. There is now a consensus that atherosclerosis represents a state of …

The renin-angiotensin system is a central component of the physiological and pathological
responses of cardiovascular system. Its primary effector hormone, angiotensin II (ANG II), not …
