Example sentences for: oxidants

How can you use “oxidants” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Because cigarette smoke is a major source of oxidants we would expect a stronger association of wine intake with pulmonary function in smokers if wine has antioxidant capacity that prevents smoking induced oxidative damage.

  • From work reported here it appears that such robust spores, if delivered to Mars on spacecraft, could survive for extended, if not indefinite, periods of time in the cold, dry, preserving environment of Mars, despite the presence of strong oxidants in the soil.

  • They suggest that these oxidants are capable of oxidizing organic materials causing release of carbon dioxide as seen in the Viking experiments.

  • [ 18 ] did not show an effect of total alcohol intake on lung function, but a number of cross-sectional studies subsequently have shown high alcohol intake to be negatively associated with lung function and positively related to the occurrence of respiratory symptoms [ 19 20 21 22 23 24 ] . However, several recent studies failed to show a negative association of alcohol intake with lung function or respiratory symptoms [ 25 26 27 ] . Thus, the evidence is contradictory and oxidants or antioxidants associated with different alcoholic beverages may be responsible for these conflicting results [ 12 13 14 28 ] . Only one study has investigated the association between beverage specific alcohol intake and pulmonary function.

  • Under these conditions apoptosis may result from the production of cytokines [ 1 ] , cell activation [ 2 3 4 ] , infective agents [ 5 ] and adverse responses to pharmaceuticals [ 6 7 ] . Depending on the agonist or eliciting milieu, apoptotic cell death is accompanied by the activation of various cell death pathways including caspases, ceramide, altered gene expression, mitochondrial dysfunction and consumption of ATP e.g., with DNA repair, that result in histone-associated DNA fragmentation [ 8 9 ] . Many of these cell death pathways are also associated with the secondary production of oxidants [ 10 ] which appears to contribute to the magnitude of cell death.
