Example sentences for: oxidants

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

In the Viking's gas exchange experiment, water vapor exposed to the Martian soil released O 2 , but possibly only as a result of the activity of powerful soil oxidants that also might have been responsible for the chemical reactivity seen in other Viking biology experiments [ 20 ] . A molecule such as DCIP or XTT might be destroyed by oxidation in the presence of such soils.
Since oxygen was also released after humidifying a sample of Martian soil, these proposed oxidants would also oxidize water.
The results of life-detection experiments performed almost three decades ago on Mars by the Viking lander have long been subject to controversy [ 1 2 3 ] . Many scientists, though certainly not all [ 3 4 ] , have concluded that results of Viking biological experiments can be interpreted as an indication of the presence of strong oxidants in the Martian soil [ 5 6 7 ] , rather than biological activity.
From this study it is clear that concentrations of oxidants that elicit minimal to minor degrees of epithelial cell necrosis can promote significant apoptotic cell death.
It has been suggested that NO could inhibit the transcription/translation of adhesion molecules through either scavenging of signal oxidants produced in response to cytokines, or through covalent modification of polypeptides in the signaling pathway, like IkB.
