Organisms on our planet have evolved in an oxidizing environment that is intrinsically
inimical to life, and cells have been forced to devise means of protecting themselves. One of …

Abstract Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), an inducible stress protein, confers cytoprotection
against oxidative stress in vitro and in vivo. In addition to its physiological role in heme …

The stress-inducible protein heme oxygenase-1 provides protection against oxidative stress
and modulates pro-inflammatory cytokines. As the sepsis syndrome results from the release …

Background The beneficial outcome associated with the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)
in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has been reported in retrospective studies. To date, no …

Aim: To compare oxidative stress in adults with non-complicated malaria and healthy
controls. Methodology: We measured malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant status …

Summary Haem-oxygenase-1 (HO-1) has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory, anti-
apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects. We investigated HO-1 expression in patients with …

Problem: We previously reported a diminished expression of the heme‐degrading enzymes
heme oxygenases (HO)‐1 and HO‐2 in decidua and placenta from mice undergoing Th1 …

The lungs are the richest in oxygen among the various organs of the body and are always
subject to harmful reactive oxygen species. Regulation of the reduction/oxidation (redox) …

Mammalian pregnancy is a complex phenomenon allowing the maternal immune system to
support its allogeneic fetus. Physiological pathways protecting the fetus from rejection are …

Objective: The type of congenital heart disease, early diagnosis, and treatment modality all
play an important role in the morbidity and mortality of these diseases. This study examined …
