A novel in vitro tissue culture approach to study salt stress responses in citrus
Springer Verlag (2009)In citrus, a major crop throughout the world, growth and yield are seriously affected by salinity. Different approaches, including agronomical, physiological and molecular methods, have been used to address this problem. ... -
Ceria nanoparticles with rhodamine B as a powerful theranostic agent against intracellular oxidative stress
Royal Society of Chemistry (2015-09)Ceria nanoparticles with rhodamine B groups covalently attached on their surface (RhB-CeNPs) were successfully prepared to simultaneously exhibit antioxidant activity and the ability to detect oxidant species. In order to ... -
Cocaine promotes oxidative stress and microglial-macrophage activation in rat cerebellum
Frontiers Media (2015)Different mechanisms have been suggested for cocaine neurotoxicity, including oxidative stress alterations. Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), considered a sensor of oxidative stress and inflammation, is involved in drug ... -
Engineered drought-induced biosynthesis of α-tocopherol alleviates stress-induced leaf damage in tobacco
Elsevier (2013)Tocopherols are members of the vitamin E complex and essential antioxidant compounds synthesized in chloroplasts that protect photosynthetic membranes against oxidative damage triggered by most environmental stresses. ... -
Estudio de la protección del epitelio pigmentario de la retina por el secretoma de las células madre uterinas en condiciones de estrés oxidativo
Universitat Jaume I (2021-09-20)Las patologías que afectan al epitelio pigmentario de la retina provocan una importante pérdida de función visual, siendo el estrés oxidativo, una causa de disfuncionalidad del tejido. En la actualidad, las posibilidades ... -
Implication of the antioxidant system in chilling injury tolerance in the red peel of grapefruit
Elsevier (2016)Previous observations have indicated that the red peel areas of grapefruit with high lycopene concentrations were more tolerant to CI than yellow peel areas (Lado et al., 2015a). Because lycopene is a carotene with ... -
Increased levels of the oxidative stress biomarker 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α in wastewater associated with tobacco use
Nature Publishing Group (2016)Wastewater analysis has been demonstrated to be a complementary approach for assessing the overall patterns of drug use by a population while the full potential of wastewater-based epidemiology has yet to be explored. ... -
Modulation of Antioxidant Defense System Is Associated with Combined Drought and Heat Stress Tolerance in Citrus
Frontiers Media (2017-06)Drought and high temperatures are two major abiotic stress factors that often occur simultaneously in nature, affecting negatively crop performance and yield. Moreover, these environmental challenges induce oxidative ... -
N-Acetylcysteine boosts xenobiotic detoxification in shellfish
Elsevier (2014-09)Water pollution represents a threat of increasing importance to human health. Bivalve mollusks are filter-feeding organisms that can accumulate chemical and microbiological contaminants in their tissues from very low ... -
Overexpression of glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase preserves mouse pancreatic beta cells function until late in life
Elsevier (2021-01)NAD(P)H donates electrons for reductive biosynthesis and antioxidant defense across all forms of life. Glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a critical enzyme to provide NADPH. G6PD deficiency is present in more than ... -
Perspectives and Potential Applications of Mitochondria-Targeted Antioxidants in Cardiometabolic Diseases and Type 2 Diabetes
John Wiley & Sons (2013)There is abundant evidence to suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction is a main cause of insulin resistance and related cardiometabolic comorbidities. On the other hand, insulin resistance is one of the main characteristics ... -
Priming of plant resistance by natural compounds. Hexanoic acid as a model
Frontiers Media (2014-10-01)Some alternative control strategies of currently emerging plant diseases are based on the use of resistance inducers. This review highlights the recent advances made in the characterization of natural compounds that induce ...
