... of luminol-amplified chemiluminescence. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy was also used in order to confirm the activity of the C. officinalis extract. The C. officinalis extract exerted its anti-ROS and anti-RNS activity in a concentration-dependent manner, with significant effects being...

... production (luminol-amplified chemiluminescence, LACL) during human PMN respiratory bursts induced by both corpusculate (Candida albicans) and soluble stimulants (N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, fMLP). LACL was also used to test cell-free systems (SIN-1 and H 2 O 2 /HOCl – systems) in order...

... positions of glycerol. This chemical has recently been demonstrated to have antioxidant activity by enhanced chemiluminescence. The addition of phorbol myristic acetate (PMA) to medium containing leukocytes produces OFR; this phenomenon was measured by chemiluminescence. Addition of trilinolein to medium...

.... It is widely believed that in cancer patients chemotherapeutic agents increase susceptibility to infection. Therefore, luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence was used to evaluate leukocyte function since the chemiluminescence response has been correlated to bacterial killing. The chemiluminescence response...

...Dickson Hong; Paul Stevens We investigated the role of protein synthesis in human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) chemotaxis and luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (CL). We used cycloheximide and puromycin to inhibit protein synthesis, and determined the extent of synthesis by measurement of 14...

...Michael A. Trush; Knox Van Dyke The effect of promethazine on the metabolic responsiveness of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes to opsonized zymosan was evaluated by chemiluminescence (CL) assay under the following situations: (1) preincubation of granulocytes with promethazine; (2) simultaneous...

... in order to be able to use it for food preservation purposes. The aim of this luminol amplified chemiluminescence (LACL) study was to investigate whether thymol can interfere with the production of reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide and the nitric oxide-derived peroxynitrite released by human...

... of this study was to investigate the possible synergistic in vitro effect of BUD and Met I on chemiluminescence generation during fMLP-stimulated respiratory bursts of human neutrophils with the NO donor L -arginine, added to the incubating medium. The investigated BUD concentrations ranged from 6 × 10 –8 to 1...

..., in addition to its ability to reduce the respiratory bursts of human PMNs, the SH metabolite I (Met I) of erdosteine, can interfere with NO and NO-derived peroxynitrite production, thus extending its antioxidant activity. This was done by means of the luminol amplified chemiluminescence (LACL), which has been...

... was assessed by luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence after stimulation by phorbol myristate acetate. The effects of vitamin E treatment were also evaluated and compared with the effects of combined treatment with stobadine. Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin (55 mg/kg i.p.). Some of diabetic rats...

The application of ambroxol into culture media containing BAL cells inhibited spontaneous and stimulated generation of ROS by BAL...
