Potential to inhibit growth of atherosclerotic plaque development through modulation of macrophage neopterin/7,8-dihydroneopterin synthesisS P Gieseg
School of Biological Sciences, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand
Br J Pharmacol 153:627-35. 2008..How these activities might influence or modulate the development of atherosclerotic plaque in vivo will be explored in this review...
Macrophage antioxidant protection within atherosclerotic plaquesSteven P Gieseg
Free Radical Biochemistry Laboratory, School of Biological Sciences, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, New Zealand
Front Biosci 14:1230-46. 2009..The evidence that these antioxidants provide further protection, so allowing the macrophage cells to survive within sites of chronic inflammation such as atherosclerotic plaques, will be described...
Oxidant production, oxLDL uptake, and CD36 levels in human monocyte–derived macrophages are downregulated by the macrophage-generated antioxidant 7,8-dihydroneopterinSteven P Gieseg
Free Radical Biochemistry Laboratory, School of Biological Sciences, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand
Antioxid Redox Signal 13:1525-34. 2010..These results imply that 7,8-dihydroneopterin protects human macrophages both by scavenging oxidants generated in response to oxLDL and by decreasing CD36-mediated uptake of oxLDL...
Protection of erythrocytes by the macrophage synthesized antioxidant 7,8 dihydroneopterinS P Gieseg
Free Radical Biochemistry Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, New Zealand
Free Radic Res 34:123-36. 2001..The cellular antioxidant properties of 78NP suggest it may have a role in protecting immune cells from free radical damage during inflammation...
A comparison of plasma vitamin C and E levels in two Antarctic and two temperate water fish speciesS P Gieseg
Department of Zoology, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand
Comp Biochem Physiol B Biochem Mol Biol 125:371-8. 2000..The data suggest that even though Antarctic fish live at -1.5 degrees C they may be exposed to greater metabolic stress from free radical mediated oxidation than temperate water species...
Protection of U937 cells from free radical damage by the macrophage synthesized antioxidant 7,8-dihydroneopterinS P Gieseg
Free Radical Biochemistry Laboratory, Department of Zoology, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch, New Zealand
Free Radic Res 35:311-8. 2001..Our data suggests macrophages may synthesize 7,8-NP for antioxidant protection during inflammatory events in vivo...
