Much of the damage looks like the result of oxidation by free radicals (oxygen-rich compounds released during cellular energy production).
It also lowered the so-called good cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and it did not enter the cell, a characteristic Medford wanted hisdrug to have, because some of the oxidation process takes place within cellular membranes.
Ploughing fields opens up organic matter to oxidation and the release of nitrogen held in the soils.
For another, the artificial fireballs seem to be glowing because of the excitation of the atoms within the vaporised material rather than because of oxidation.
It only sticks to arteries after it becomes electrically charged in the normal chemical process of oxidation.
Sure enough they were able to prove that stopping oxidation also halted the production of VCAM-1, a vascular cell adhesion molecule, that helped set off the inflammatory process.
The microbiological content of the water is eliminated by electroporation, oxidation, ionization, UV and IR radiation and shockwaves.
FORBES: Forget The Sequester: Entrepreneurs Are Saving The Future
The grey stands in contrast to the weathered red outer-coating of the Sheepbed unit, and the darker colour hints at a different oxidation state for iron (Fe) minerals that might be inside the rock.
BBC: Nasa's Curiosity Mars rover to ingest drill sample soon
Free radicals alter cholesterol in a process known as oxidation, which is thought to speed up the hardening of the arteries.
Because iron has been found to speed up oxidation of cholesterol, scientists suspect it can increase damage to the arteries and lead to heart problems.
Oxidation catalysts and other emissions controls can be installed to reduce the polluting effect of diesel generation and it must also be considered that peak-shaving DR resources will displace peaking units which are the most pollution-heavy resources on the supply-dispatch curve that are also closest to load centers.
Within months of publishing their results in 1993, Medford and Alexander started AtheroGenics out of their offices at Emory to find a safe drug that would stop the oxidation process.
