Lipid hydroperoxides play an important role in various pathophysiological processes. Therefore, a simple model for organic hydroperoxides could be helpful to monitor the biologic effects of endogenous and exogenous compounds. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin-trapping technique is a useful

N-Aminoazaaromatics were found to react with nitric oxide in the presence of oxygen to afford deaminated products in high yields. The reaction proceeded almost instantaneously in various solvents including water, and one to two equivalent of NO was consumed depending

Ssk1p of Candida albicans is a putative response regulator protein of the Hog1 two-component signal transduction system. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the phosphorylation state of Ssk1p determines whether genes that promote the adaptation of cells to osmotic stress are activated. We

Sperm is highly sensitive to superoxide radical surge in the granuloma interior. To investigate possibility of a superoxide radical bomb, the role of an oxyradical on the spermatozoon was studied in vitro using potassium superoxide, a potent superoxide radical producer.
