    Alkylated polycyclic aromatic compounds (alkyl-PACs) are the major aromatic constituent of total PAH in crude oil and originated from incomplete combustion process. Whereas benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a well-known human carcinogen, dibenzothiophene (DBT) and retene (Ret) are not; however, all three compounds are important environmental pollutants. Their toxicity is not yet characterized. In this study, we used BaP (parent PAH), DBT and Ret (alkyl-PACs) to elucidate the mechanism of neurotoxicity using human neuroblastoma cells. The lethal concentrations (LC10 & LC20) were found at around 10 µM and 40 µM after 24 hours exposer to SK-N-SH cells. Exposed differentiated neuronal cells showed significant dose-dependent increase levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), even at with sub-lethal concentration (DBT, and…

    APX2 as a Scavenging Mechanism for Superoxides in Chloroplast Mohammed Shilleh, Michael Stefano, Jacqueline Watkins, Kelsey Wyman Chin BSC4936 University of Florida APX2 as a Scavenging Mechanism for Superoxides in Chloroplast Introduction and Background Stress can be defined as a disruption of homeostasis. Chloroplasts are especially sensitive to stress and have many levels of defense against it. These defense mechanisms include adjustment of antenna size, thermal dissipation, photochemistry…

    Recent research shows that AgNPs enhance luminol fluorescence and chemiluminescence by acting as a catalyst with hydrogen peroxide. When AgNPs interact with hydrogen peroxide they cause the peroxide to degrade into superoxide and hydroxyl radical, which also react with luminol to form 3-aminophthalate (Equations 2-5) [13]. The further degradation of hydrogen peroxide into other reactive oxygen species promotes higher fluorescence intensity. Figure 5 shows the increased fluorescence intensity…

    reported. Gutierrez-Boem et al. (1994), classified canola as a moderately or relatively salt tolerance plants. Currently, there are no economically viable technological means to facilitate crop production under abiotic stress conditions. Crop stress tolerance can be improved by a number of means, including selection and breeding, genetic modifications, and use of osmoprotectants and growth regulating substances (Parida and Das 2005). A variety of chemicals, both organic and inorganic, are…

    modulations and cellular transduction in an organism; as such, upsetting this fine balance between reduction and oxidation can have deleterious effects in the body. Inversely as in high concentrations of reactive oxygen species, or oxidizing agents, having harmful effects in the body, the same can be said for its counterpart. If the concentration of reducing agents becomes far greater than the concentrations of oxidizing agents, it will yield in deleterious effects on the organism. Maintaining…

    Oaks trees (Quercus species) have adaptations to withstand drought but the trade off of those adaptations is multiple long-term negative effects on photosynthesis. These adaptations help to tolerate harsh conditions, specifically in drought. In situations of long periods of drought it has been researched that oak trees lose their ability to effectively perform photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process in which sunlight is converted in to chemical energy. Plants make their own food by using…
