Q

cell to cell messages via NO

A

smooth muscle relaxation, vasodilator, neurotrans, hair follicle life cycle;
endothelial cells with NOS release NO and they react with guanylyl cyclase in smooth cells–> vasodilation

Q

NO synthase

A

L-arginine undergoes reaction with NOS (1,2,or 3) and turns into L-CItrulline + NO.
Uses 2 NADPH

Q

Intracellular ROS

A

superoxide (made through leaky electrons in the ETC pathway); superoxide dismutase binds the superoxide and binds free radical and makes hydrogen peroxide

Q

hypothesis of superoxide

A

metabolic state of the cell determines superoxide activity; more ETC activity–> more superoxide; the receptor proteins sense change and the transcriptome/proteome responds

Q

diminish ROS production during ETC

A

uncoupling protein transports H+ into inner membrane without making ATP and ETC is low. Adapt needed–> increase CA cycle;

Q

NADPH oxidase

A

in neutorphils;
NADPH redox reaction to NADP which removes e- and reacts with O2 to make superoxide going into phagocytic vesicle or go outside cell;
it’s the first line of defense against infection

Q

how is superoxide used against bacteria?

A

bacteria are rich in unsequestered Fe2+. Superoxide with protons creates H2O2 which then reacts with Fe2+ via fenton reaction to create more HO. + OH-+ Fe3+

free radicals and metals–> snowball affect

Q

arachidonic acid catabolism

A

signaling: inflammation and immunity
messengers: nervous system
direct result of autooxidation;
creates leukotrienes and prostanoid eicosanoids

16
Q

haber-weiss reaction

A

superoxide and hydrogen peroxide make more hydroxy radical and hydroxy anion and O2 via free iron

17
Q

ROS attack

A

bases and backbone of nucleic acids, amino acid side chains, double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids;
non specific

18
Q

dityrosine bridges

A

cross linked protein which cannot be degraded via proteosome; created via cysteine, lysine, proline, arginine, metionine cross links

19
Q

oxidative damage: membrane

A

via arachidonic acid it creates peroxy cpds, hydroperoxy cpds, OH radical and isoprostanes which lead to rancid membranes

20
Q

PUFA chain reaction

A

depletes membrane unsaturated fatty acids; diminished fluidity of membrane

21
Q

oxidative damage to macromolecules

A

DNA mutagenesis, protein loss of function, protein aggregation, impaired protein disposal, loss of membrane fluidity, toxic lipid peroxidation byproducts

22
Q

generalized control of ROS

A

redundant, enzymatic, nonenzymatic

23
Q

superoxide dismutase

A

acts on superoxide

24
Q

catalse

A

acts on hydrogen peroxide

25
glutathione peroxidase/reducase
acts on H2O2; | inactivated by nonspecific glycation in diabetes
26
thioredoxin enzymes
peroxiredoxin/thioredoxin reductase, variety of substrates
27
SOD
superoxide dismutase; | takes two superoxides and combines in to hydrogen peroxide
28
catalase reaction
two hydrogen peroxides to two water and one o2 molecules
29
non enzymatic antioxidants
tend to be reduced at baseline; accept or donate electrons; become radicals during the process but they are less reactive than neutralized radical because of resonance
30
drawbacks of antioxidant use
kidney or liver malfunction changes antioxidant metabolism; may interfere with normal signaling or immune response (NADPH oxidase),
31
why can vitamin c exacerbate kidney stones?
one of the metabolites of vitamin c is oxalate. oxalate is a main component of kidney stones
