Abstract:
The ability of the heterocyclic compound EDU (N-[2-(2-oxo-1-imidazolindinyl)-ethyl]-N'-phenylurea) to affect polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMNL) activation was examined by measuring superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical release from human PMNLs stimulated by phorbol ester. Results demonstrated that EDU effectively interferes with PMNLs reactive oxygen intermediate production, making it a potentially useful compound to be used to modulate PMNL-associated oxidant damage of inflamed tissues.

Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox property is crucial in...

Factors Affecting Erythropoiesis
Several factors influence the erythrocyte production rate, with tissue oxygen level being among the most critical. Intense exercise or high altitudes can cause tissue hypoxia, which triggers the kidneys to release more erythropoietin (EPO) into the bloodstream.
EPO then...
