Words similar to oxidant
Example sentences for: oxidant
How can you use “oxidant” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Ferrate(VI) is a very strong oxidizing agent and will readily oxidize many organic molecules in aqueous solution [ 19 20 21 ] . High oxidation power selectivity and by-production of non-toxic Fe(III) make potassium ferrate(VI) an environmentally friendly oxidant for removal of industrial contaminants from natural waters [ 22 ] . We confirmed this degradative activity of ferrate using 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), though a mixture of dodecane and hexadecane, as might be found within microbial membranes, was not degraded by ferrate(VI) (Figures 1and 2).
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.
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 ] .
Our findings suggest that oxidant stress is associated with hepatocellular injury in preterm infants
It is known that NO can function both as an oxidant, or antioxidant depending on the availability of reactive oxygen species [ 19].
