The molecular mechanisms underlying hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) are not yet properly understood. Mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and NADPH oxidase have been proposed as possible oxygen sensors, with derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) playing key roles in coupling the sen

## Abstract The presence of more than one dental alloy in the oral cavity often causes pathological galvanic currents and voltage resulting in superficial erosions of the oral mucosa and eventually in the emergence of oral cancer. In the present study the mechanisms of apoptosis of oral mucosa canc
We have previously demonstrated that an acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)-derived cell line NB4 exhibited a relatively higher basal level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) than other leukemia cell lines, which is one of the mechanisms determining a higher apoptotic susceptibility of NB4 cells to ars
CD95 ligand (CD95L) triggers a rapid formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as an upstream event of CD95 activation and apoptosis induction in rat hepatocytes. This ROS response was sensitive to inhibition by diphenyleneiodonium, apocynin, and neopterin, suggestive of an involvement of NADPH oxi
