As congestive heart failure progresses, the formation of «free radicals» (
reactive molecules created during oxygen metabolism) increases heart cell damage.
Not exact matches
Zwierlein's group chose to
create ultracold
molecules of sodium potassium, as this
molecule is chemically stable and naturally resilient against
reactive molecular collisions.
The cause of the damage is still poorly understood, but radiation is known to
create highly
reactive oxygen - containing
molecules in the body.
Here, a
reactive species, usually a negatively charged atom or
molecule, attacks an organic
molecule in a way that this
molecule repels a currently bonded partner in order to
create the new bond.
It's thought that this damage happens when photons (light particles)
create free radicals, which are highly
reactive molecules that can «poison» cells and kill them, Van Gelder said.
In a third study published online by Science on 6 April (www.sciencexpress.org), molecular geneticist Valter Longo of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and colleagues battered a population of yeast mutants with heat or paraquat, a chemical that
creates reactive oxygen
molecules.
That light is absorbed by the chlorine - based
molecules, which then excite nearby oxygen
molecules,
creating a highly
reactive form of oxygen, known as singlet oxygen, that rips apart nearby biomolecules and kills the tumor cell.
More research produced the answer: Vitamin C induced what is known as a Fenton reaction, causing iron to react with other
molecules to
create reactive oxygen species that kill the TB bacteria.
On Pluto, ultraviolet light from the sun breaks apart gas
molecules like nitrogen and methane to
create reactive ions.
Physiologist Dino Giussani and colleagues at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom theorized that hypoxia promotes harm in the womb primarily through stress caused when the low level of oxygen
creates an overload of highly
reactive molecules known as free radicals.
One reason might be the role of fat in inducing oxidative stress and
creating free radicals, which are highly
reactive atoms and
molecules that damage DNA and cellular walls, ultimately killing heart muscle cells.
This causes the body to
create unstable
molecules known as
reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Iron
creates free radicals, which are
reactive molecules that attack cell walls and DNA, causing disease.
Global warming is implicated in the loss of Arctic ozone because greenhouse gases trap energy lower down, heating up the atmosphere nearer the ground but cooling the stratosphere,
creating conditions conducive to the formation of the
reactive chemicals that break apart the three - oxygen
molecules of ozone.
