Heavy metals is a collective term describing metals and metalloids with a density higher
than 5 g/cm3. Some of them are essential micronutrients; others do not play a positive role in …

Advancing age promotes cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in the
United States and many developed nations. Two major age-related arterial phenotypes …

▪ Abstract Oxidative stress—the production and accumulation of reduced oxygen
intermediates such as superoxide radicals, singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl …

Heavy metals, depending on their oxidation states, can be highly reactive and, as a
consequence, toxic to most organisms. They are produced by an expanding variety of …

Environmental pollution by organic compounds and metals became extensive as mining
and industrial activities increased in the 19th century and have intensified since then …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature on oxidative stress in fish.
The response of the European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax, was investigated through a …

In this paper, we focus on dinoflagellate ecology, toxin production, fossil record, and a
molecular phylogenetic analysis of hosts and plastids. Of ecological interest are the …

Endogenous circadian and exogenously driven daily rhythms of antioxidative enzyme
activities and of low molecular weight antioxidants (LMWAs) are described in various …

Through the analysis of hundreds of full-length cDNAs from fifteen species representing all
major orders of dinoflagellates, we demonstrate that nuclear-encoded mRNAs in all species …

Aortic stiffness increases with advancing age, more than doubling during the human life
span, and is a robust predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) clinical events independent …
