Relative reactivity of alkane and alkylbenzene oxidation by peroxynitrite has been determined in acidic aqueous solutions. The observed data are explained assuming that the reaction simultaneously proceeds in both the gas and the liquid phases. The selectivity in the gas phase was found to be very similar to that of discrete hydroxyl radicals. The ability of peroxynitrite to react with organic substrates in the gas phase suggests that similar processes may occur in lipophilic media. The reaction mechanism and implication for lipid peroxidation are discussed.

Purpose Of Review: To date, there is relatively limited research investigating changes in red blood cells (RBCs), particularly qualitative changes, in cancer patients and cancer patients receiving treatment. These changes may be important in better understanding cancer-associated anemia, which is the most prevalent hematological disorder in cancer patients with wide-ranging implications on patient care and quality of life. This review aims to summarize available evidence regarding qualitative and quantitative changes in RBCs in individuals with cancer prior to treatment and in patients undergoing treatment.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic degenerative joint disorder characterized by an imbalance in chondrocyte metabolism. Ferroptosis has been implicated in the pathogenesis of OA. The role of Sirt1, a deacetylase, in mediating deacetylation during ferroptosis in OA chondrocytes remains underexplored.

Background: APOE genotype is the most important genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but whether it affects the proteins associated with AD risk is unclear. Circulating proteins may reveal biology underlying pathologic processes.

Methods: We evaluated log2 standardized levels of 4979 proteins quantified using modified aptamer technology [SomaScan] in plasma from 2725 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study who were free of dementia and stroke.

Background: The identification of novel blood-based biomarkers of small vessel disease of the brain (SVD) may improve pathophysiologic understanding and inform the development of new therapeutic strategies for prevention. We evaluated plasma proteomic associations of white matter fractional anisotropy (WMFA), white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume, enlarged perivascular space (ePVS) volume, and the presence of microbleeds (MB) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the population-based Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).

Methods: Eligible MESA participants had 2941 plasma proteins measured from stored blood samples (collected in 2016-2018) using the antibody-based Olink proteomics platform, and completed brain MRI scans in 2018-2019.

Background: Studying brain reserve - the brain's resilience to age-related changes or damage - is crucial for understanding protective mechanisms against cognitive decline. The cerebellum may be a key region in brain reserve, but it has been historically understudied. This investigation delves into this critical area within the largest aging multi-cohort to date.
