The present investigation deals with the in vivo effects of oxygen free radicals (OFRs) in the absence and presence of scavengers of OFRs (superoxide dismutase, SOD, and catalase) on the cardiac function and contractility and with the in vitro effects of exogenous OFRs and various pH and p02 on the
Membrane abnormalities in essential hypertensives (EH) are well known. The respiratory burst enzyme, NADPH oxidase is located in the cell membrane of the neutrophil (PMNLs) and its activity is important in generation of oxygen derived free radical (OFR). Recently OFR have been implicated in vascular
It has been suggested that oxygen free radicals (OFR) depress the excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac muscle. It is possible that a decrease in the cardiac contractility in the failing heart may be due to an increased OFR producing activity of polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes. We studied th
