The protective effect of antioxidant peptides from grass carp scale gelatin on hydrogen peroxide (HO)-mediated oxidative injured HepG2 cells was investigated, and the protective mechanism as well as peptide structure were studied. Pretreated with grass carp scale gelatin hydrolysates (GSGH) for 24 h significantly increased the survival rates and decreased the apoptosis rates of HO-mediated oxidative injured HepG2 cells. The increase in SOD, CAT and GPX activities, reduce in ROS level and MDA content, and weaken in damage on cell membrane and DNA could be responsible for the protective effect of GSGH on HO-mediated oxidative injured HepG2 cells. Peptide sequences of GSGH were analyzed by LC-ESI-Q-Orbitrap-MS/MS, and results showed that most of them were low molecular weight peptide at 358-986 Da. Synergistic effect existed among antioxidant peptides and contributed to the strong antioxidant activities of GSGH.

Crop growth and yield are affected by salinity, which causes oxidative damage to plant cells. Plants respond to salinity by maintaining cellular osmotic balance, regulating ion transport, and enhancing the expression of stress-responsive genes, thereby inducing tolerance. As a byproduct of heme oxygenase (HO)-mediated degradation of heme, carbon monoxide (CO) regulates plant responses to salinity.

The oxygenation of Fe(II)-bearing minerals for hydroxyl radicals (HO) formation and contaminant attenuation receive increasing attention, while the mechanisms for specific Fe(II) species in manipulating HO formation and contaminant attenuation are unclear. Herein, a total of four Fe(III)-bearing minerals were applied in the reduction-oxygenation processes to produce HO. Results showed that the total HO generated from the Fe-(oxyhydr)oxides were significantly higher than those from the Fe-silicates, with the order of goethite and hematite (~1500 μmol kg) > Fe-montmorillonite (~550 μmol kg) > chlorite (~120 μmol kg).

The carbonate radical CO and the excited triplet states of chromophoric dissolved organic matter play an important role in the photodegradation of some easily oxidized pollutants in surface waters, such as the aromatic amines. Anilines and sulfadiazine are known to undergo back-reduction processes when their degradation is mediated by the excited triplet states of photosensitizers (triplet sensitization). Back-reduction, which inhibits photodegradation, means that phenols or the antioxidant (mostly phenolic) moieties occurring in the natural dissolved organic matter of surface waters reduce, back to the parent compounds, the radical species derived from the mono-electronic oxidation of anilines and sulfadiazine.

As an excellent conductive herbicide, swep is widely used in weed removal. Its remaining in atmosphere and water can not only contaminate the environment but also pose a threat to human health. This work presented a systematic theoretical study of HO-mediated degradation mechanisms and kinetics of swep in atmosphere and water environment.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS), nitric oxide (NO), carbon monoxide (CO), and sulfur dioxide (SO) were previously considered as toxic gases, but now they are found to be members of mammalian gasotransmitters family. Both HS and SO are endogenously produced in sulfur-containing amino acid metabolic pathway in vivo. The enzymes catalyzing the formation of HS are mainly CBS, CSE, and 3-MST, and the key enzymes for SO production are AAT1 and AAT2.
