Appraisal of ozone as biologically active molecule and experimental tool in biomedical sciences
(Springer, 2011)Ozone (O3) (CAS 10028-15-6) is a major air industrial pollutant and is well known for its very strong oxidative actions which affords the molecule its useful antimicrobial and deodorizing properties, but also its potential ... -
Ozone exposure of Flinders Sensitive Line rats is a rodent translational model of neurobiological oxidative stress with relevance for depression and antidepressant response
(Springer, 2015)Rationale Major depression has been associated with higher levels of air pollution that in turn leads to neurodegeneration via increased oxidative stress. There is a need for suitable translational animal models to study ... -
Ozone modulates the effects of imipramine on immobility in the forced swim test, and nonspecific parameters of hippocampal oxidative stress in the rat
(Springer, 2010)Depression has been associated with oxidative stress. There is increased awareness of the role of environmental toxins in the development of mood disorders. Ozone, a pro-oxidant and environmental pollutant, has been noted ... -
Studies on cellular resilience and adaptation following acute and repetitive exposure to ozone in cultured human epithelial (HeLa) cells
(Taylor & Francis, 2008)Ozone is used to treat several medical conditions, while the underlying mechanisms of action are sometimes poorly understood. In the current study, we exposed cultured human epithelial (HeLa) cells acutely and repeatedly ...
