The commonly-accepted “oxidized LDL hypothesis of atherogenesis” is based on a large number of indirect evidence that shows that oxidatively-modified LDL plays a role in atherogenesis. Yet, the exact role is not cle...
Chronic exposure to low doses of ozone similar to a day of high pollution in Mexico City causes a state of oxidative stress. This produces a progressive neurodegeneration in hippocampus of rats exposed to the gas. The...
The presence of high reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in semen is a major factor involved in the decline of male fertility. In seminal plasma, ROS are mainly produced by activated leucocytes. Spermatozoa were the ...
