Example sentences for: oxidative
How can you use “oxidative” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Conflicting results have been reported from studies on the stroke risk factor status of genes related to myocardial infarction or arterial disease, such as specific genotypes of the genes for angiotensin 1-converting enzyme ( ACE ) [ 23 24 25 26 ] or apolipoprotein [ 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 ] . Potential confounding factors include the effects of comorbidity and differential mortality rates [ 34 35 ] . Although the degree of stenosis of the cervical internal carotid arteries in symptomatic patients correlates with risk of ipsilateral stroke [ 36 ] , no clear conclusions can be drawn from attempts to relate carotid artery disease to specific genotypes (for example, of the paraoxonase gene PON, which is thought to protect low-density lipoprotein against oxidative modification [ 37 ] , or of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene [ 38 ] ).
The observation that there are elevations of both oxidative and pH activities in only a subset of lysosomes (Figures 2and 4) suggests that pH and oxidative activity may be coupled in this organelle.
Prevention of oxidative stress induced cytotoxicity by PPARγ agonists
This finding is significant in that it presents a mechanism to reversibly preserve the function of a protein during oxidative challenge.
For example, it has been shown that synaptosomes and mitochondria prepared from CNS tissue can convert cholesterol to cholesterol oxides, which may play an important role in brain tissue damage during oxidative stress [ 28 ] . Consistent with this notion, we have shown cholesterol oxides are toxic to neuronal PC12 cells [ 29 30 ] and neurons derived from sympathetic ganglia [ 31 ] , retina [ 32 ] and cerebellum [ 33 ] .
