Here, we report that choline and dimethylglycine can stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in liver mitochondria. Choline stimulated O ˙ /H O formation at a concentration of 5 μm. We also observed that Complex II and III inhibitors, atpenin A5 and myxothiazol, collectively induced a 95% decrease in O ˙ /H O production indicating both sites serve as the main sources of ROS during choline oxidation. Dimethylglycine, an intermediate of choline oxidation, was a more effective ROS generator. Rates of production were ~ 43% higher than choline-mediated O ˙ /H O production. The main site for dimethylglycine-mediated ROS production was via reverse electron transfer to Complex I. Our results demonstrate that metabolism of essential metabolites involved in methionine and folic acid biosynthesis can stimulate mitochondrial ROS production.

Cephalosporin C (CPC) is a critical raw material for cephalosporin antibiotics produced by Acremonium chrysogenum. During fermentation, the oxygen supply is a crucial factor limiting the efficient biosynthesis of CPC. This study demonstrated that the addition of exogenous surfactants significantly increased the dissolved oxygen (DO) level, extracellular catalase content, and final CPC titer.

Pigment particles used in tattooing may exert long terms effect by releasing diffusible degradation products. In the present work, aqueous suspensions of the organic orange diazo pigment PO13 were aged by exposure to simulated sunlight at 40 °C. The morphology and the surface charge of PO13 particles were barely modified upon aging, but primary particles were released by de-agglomeration.

A comprehensive understanding of the dynamic changes in plasma cells (PCs) during inflammation remains elusive. In this study, we analyzed the distinct responses of PCs across different phases of inflammation in a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mouse colitis model. Six-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were treated with 2.

We have previously reported that high-alcohol-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (HiAlc Kpn) in the gut can cause endo-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Here, we discover that 91.2% of Kpn isolates from pulmonary disease samples also produce excess ethanol, which may be associated with respiratory disease severity.

Chronic itch which is primarily associated with dermatologic, systemic, or metabolic disorders is often refractory to most current antipruritic medications, thus highlighting the need for improved therapies. Oxidative damage is a novel determinant of spinal pruriceptive sensitization and synaptic plasticity. The resolution of oxidative insult by molecular hydrogen has been manifested.
