Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is present in all cells and membranes and in addition to be a member of
the mitochondrial respiratory chain it has also several other functions of great importance for …

The mitochondrial respiratory chain is a powerful source of reactive oxygen species (ROS),
considered as the pathogenic agent of many diseases and of aging. We have investigated …

Cold atmospheric helium plasma jets were fabricated and utilized for plasma–cell
interactions. The effect of operating parameters and jet design on the generation of specific …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) includes etiologically heterogenous disorders characterized by
senile or presenile dementia, extracellular amyloid protein aggregations containing an …

The plasma membrane (PM) contains redox enzymes that provide electrons for energy
metabolism and recycling of antioxidants such as coenzyme Q and α-tocopherol. Brain …

This review focuses on the emerging evidence that attenuation of the production of reactive
oxygen species and inhibition of inflammatory pathways play a central role in the antiaging …

Human spermatozoa generate low levels of reactive oxygen species in order to stimulate
key events, such as tyrosine phosphorylation, associated with sperm capacitation. However …

Oxygen consumption for bioenergetic purposes has long been thought to be the prerogative
of mitochondria. Nevertheless, mitochondrial gene knockout (ρ0) cells that are defective in …

The plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells is the limit to interact with the environment. This
position implies receiving stress signals that affects its components such as phospholipids …

NAD (P) H: quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) is elevated in human pancreatic cancers. We
hypothesized that£]-lapachone, a novel 1, 2-naphthoquinone with potential antitumor activity …
