Abstract
Altered cellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) is a ubiquitous feature of human disease. Vascular oxidative stress is a unifying area of research in atherosclerosis and aging. While elevated levels of ROS, especially oxygen radicals (O2 -·) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), induce cellular apoptosis, low levels play an important role in cell signaling [1,2]. Reactive species from a variety of sources further play an important role in plaque disruption partly through lipid oxidation, low-density lipoprotein oxidation nitration, and signaling [3- 6].
Keywords: NADPH Oxidase, dihydroethidium, superoxide dismutase, Lipoxygenase, xanthine oxidase

New drug therapy for eye diseases
Eyesight is one of the most critical senses, accounting for over 80% of our perceptions. Our quality of life might be significantly affected by eye disease, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, etc. Although the development of microinvasive ocular surgery reduces surgical complications and improves overall outcomes, medication therapy is ...read more
