## Abstract Racemization of aspartyl (Asp) residues in peptides and proteins has been considered to be a nonenzymatic chemical reaction which occurs __via__ succinimide formation. However, it has not been known yet what conditions in living body accelerate the inversion of the Lβ to the Dβform. Her

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease that increases the pulmonary vascular resistance, causing hypertrophy and subsequent right heart failure. Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of PAH, and estrogen is considered an antioxidant. Thus, the aim of this study was to test the
## Abstract The present study examines the efficacy of ethanol as an antidote in methanol neurotoxicity in terms of its effect on antioxidant defense system and behavior. It was observed that acute methanol exposure (7.5 g/kg body weight) led to an increase in lipid peroxidation in various regions
## Abstract Copper toxicity is associated with formation of reactive oxygen species, which are capable to oxidize proteins. The selective removal of the latter by the 20S proteasome is considered an essential part of the cell antioxidant defense system. The aim of the present study was to investiga
## Abstract Oxidative stress and grains were evaluated for carotenoid production by solidβstate fermentation using __Penicillium__ sp. PT95. When the fungus was grown at high oxidative stress, its sclerotial biomass and carotenoid content in sclerotia increased significantly with respect to low oxi
