Oxygen Transport in the Blood01:27

Oxygen Transport in the Blood

2.7K
Hemoglobin (Hb) is a crucial molecule in the human body, consisting of four polypeptide chains, each bound to an iron-containing heme group. This unique structure enables hemoglobin to bind to oxygen, with each molecule capable of combining with four molecules of oxygen, leading to rapid and reversible oxygen loading. When fully loaded with oxygen, it is called oxyhemoglobin, while hemoglobin that has released oxygen is called reduced hemoglobin or deoxyhemoglobin. As hemoglobin binds oxygen,...

Autoxidation of Ethers to Peroxides and Hydroperoxides

7.5K
Ethers represent a class of chemical compounds that become more dangerous with prolonged storage because they tend to form explosive peroxides when standing in the air. Autoxidation is the spontaneous oxidation of a compound in air. In the presence of oxygen, ethers slowly oxidize to form hydroperoxides and dialkyl peroxides.

Radical Autoxidation

2.1K
The oxidation of an organic compound in the presence of air or oxygen is called autoxidation. For example, cumene reacts with oxygen to form hydroperoxide. Autoxidation involves initiation, propagation, and termination steps. Many organic compounds are susceptible to autoxidation—especially ethers in the presence of oxygen, which form hydroperoxides. Even though this reaction is slow, old ether bottles contain small amounts of peroxide, which leads to laboratory explosions during ether...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Cell Biology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Pulmonary oxygen toxicity (POT) is a concern with hyperbaric and hyperoxic exposures.
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are implicated in oxidative stress pathways.
  • Identifying reliable biomarkers for POT is crucial for clinical and operational safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify VOCs associated with oxidative stress in an in vitro model of alveolar basal epithelial cells.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of this in vitro model for POT biomarker research.
  • To explore the relationship between hyperoxia, oxidative stress, and VOC profiles.

Main Methods:

  • Human alveolar basal epithelial cells were exposed to hyperbaric and hyperoxic conditions, mimicking U.S. Navy Treatment Table 6.
  • Headspace VOCs were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
  • Cellular stress markers (IL8 and LDH) were measured to confirm cellular injury.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in nonane, octanal, and decane levels were observed between oxygen-exposed and control groups.
  • Nonane and decane were previously identified in vivo, strengthening their potential as biomarkers.
  • Despite reduced VOC signal intensities in the intervention group, cellular stress markers confirmed significant cell injury.

Conclusions:

  • The in vitro model shows promise for investigating POT biomarkers.
  • Nonane, octanal, and decane are potential VOC biomarkers for POT-related oxidative stress.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the complex interplay between VOCs and oxidative stress in POT.
