The effects of several free radical scavengers and antioxidant enzymes on neutrophil-mediated changes in mucosal permeability (measured using blood-to-lumen clearance of 51Cr-labeled ethylene-diaminetetraactate) were assessed using ileal loops perfused with N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). Neither superoxide dismutase nor catalase reduced the FMLP-induced increase in mucosal permeability. However, manganese-loaded desferrioxamine (a superoxide dismutase mimetic), PZ51 (a glutathione peroxidase analogue), desferrioxamine (an iron chelator), or dimethylsulfoxide (a hydroxyl radical scavenger) significantly attenuated FMLP-induced mucosal damage. The results of our experiments indicate that neutrophilic oxidants are responsible for a major portion of the mucosal permeability changes induced by FMLP.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
