The disequilibrium between the production of reactive oxygen(ROS) and nitrogen(RNS) species and their elimination by protective mechanisms leads to oxidative stress. Mitochondria are the main source of ROS as by-produ...
Aim: The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is involved in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and generation of NADPH, which plays a key role in drug metabolism. The aim of this study was to in...
Oxygen limiting conditions are a common occurrence in root zones of most crop plants and can adversely affect nearly all aspects of plant growth and development including its survival. The objective of this study was ...
Oxidative damage and redox metal homeostasis loss are two contributing factors in brain aging and widely distributed neurodegenerative diseases. Oxidative species in company with excessive amounts of intracellular fre...
The hat shock transcription factor HSF1 inthe yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae regulates a wide range of genes and functions in diverse cellular reactions. To investigate the physiological response of HSF1 inthe presenc...

The electron transfer reaction of triplet menadione (3MQ?) with polyguanylic acid (polyG) in CH3CN rich (97%) solution was investigated by 248 nm(KrF) laser flash photolysis.The transient absorption spectra and kineti...
Many studies have showed that apoptosis exists in plants. Our study shows that (1) menadione(VK3) induces apoptosis in suspension cultures of carrot cells; (2) heat shock induces apoptosis in suspension cultures of to...
Menadione can induce apoptosis in tobacco protoplasts, Typical characteristics are detected including the condensation of chromatin, the formation of apoptotic bodies and the degradation of genomic DNA into 'DNA ladde...
