Example sentences for: oxidant

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

The inhibitor studies correlating chemokine gene expression and NF-κB binding activity indicate that RSV, in contrast to TNFα, induces IL-8, MCP-1 and RANTES expression in A549 epithelial cells through a redox-sensitive NF-κB signaling pathway that appears to involve predominately Rel A. IL-8, MCP-1 and RANTES are known redox regulated genes and our results are consistent with the findings that oxidant tone can regulate chemokine gene expression in RSV infected airway epithelial cells [ 46 47 48 ] .
To minimize such oxidant damage, cells rely on the production of nitric oxide (NO) by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (eNOS).
With the exception of vitamin C, the potency of these antioxidants as cytoprotective (anti-apoptotic) agents, appears to exceed their inherent ability to quench the specific oxidant stimulus.
Evidence suggests that alcohol may increase oxidative burden [ 12 13 14 15 ] . However, while alcohol could potentially act as an oxidant, there is a large body of evidence that wine has antioxidant properties [ 12 13 16 17 ] . Our data indicate that these antioxidant properties might exist and could have positive influence on lung function.
We tested this hypothesis, confirming that spores are protected from the UV flux, even in the presence of a strong soil oxidant (permanganate), by a few mm of soil cover.
