Both FL and NS replicons that overexpress HO-1 showed reduced prooxidant levels at baseline and increased resistance to oxidant-induced cytotoxicity.

This perhaps suggests that protein carbonyl formation is related to therapy with L-DOPA, which can exert prooxidant properties in vitro.

PMID: 15917185 The objective of this work was to determine if the vitamin C added to standard chelation therapy cocktails was prooxidant.

Background: Intakes of dietary iron and, in particular, heme iron may increase breast cancer risk because of the prooxidant properties of iron.

This control is achieved both by a fine-tuned balance between prooxidant and anti-oxidant molecules and by spatial and temporal confinement of the oxidative species.

The work was addressed to study the intracellular antioxidant activity of red grape polyphenolic extracts on rat colon epithelium experimentally exposed to prooxidant conditions.

Several complications of diabetes are related to increased intracellular oxidative stress where prooxidants exceed antioxidant capacity.
