Abstract
In this study, effects of hydroxyurea derivatives 1, 3, 4 - thiadiazole and schiff base compounds on some element levels and antioxidant enzyme activities in rat liver and on antioxidant enzyme levels that are parameters of oxidative stress were investigated. For this purpose, iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) concentrations were analyzed by using atomic absorption spectroscopy superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities were measured by using a UV spectrophotometer. Fe, Zn and Cu concentrations in the liver of rats treated with these compounds were compared with levels of SOD and CAT statistically. As a result, the increase in the antioxidant activities of SOD and CAT metalloenzymes together with decrease in levels of Cu, Zn and Fe elements observed may suggest that the elements be bound to these enzymes.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cellular Neuroscience and Oxidative Stress isan online journal that publishes original research articles, reviews and short reviews on themolecular basisofbiophysical,physiological and pharmacological processes thatregulate cellular function, and the control or alteration of these processesby theaction of receptors, neurotransmitters, second messengers, cation, anions,drugsor disease. Areas of particular interest are four topics. They are; 1. Ion Channels (Na+-K+Channels, Cl– channels, Ca2+channels, ADP-Ribose and metabolism of NAD+,Patch-Clamp applications) 2. Oxidative Stress (Antioxidant vitamins, antioxidant enzymes, metabolism of nitric oxide, oxidative stress, biophysics, biochemistry and physiology of free oxygen radicals) 3. Interaction Between Oxidative Stress and Ion Channels in Neuroscience (Effects of the oxidative stress on the activation of the voltage sensitive cation channels, effect of ADP-Ribose and NAD+ on activation of the cation channels which are sensitive to voltage, effect of the oxidative stress on activation of the TRP channels in neurodegenerative diseases such Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases) 4. Gene and Oxidative Stress (Gene abnormalities. Interaction between gene and free radicals. Gene anomalies and iron. Role of radiation and cancer on gene polymorphism)
