[Circadian variations in the production of superoxide and liberation of lysosomal enzymes of neutrophils in peripheral blood]. 1989

M A Muniain, and M D Rodríguez, and R Mata, and F Pozuelo, and M J Giménez, and A Romero

Superoxide formation and lysosomal enzyme liberation circulating neutrophils has been assessed in healthy subjects. Blood samples were obtained at 8:00, 14:00, and 20:00 o'clock. The formation of superoxide followed a circadian rythm. Lowest concentration was found a 14:00 hours (4.59 +/- 2.09 nM reduced cytochrome/10(6) neutrophils). No 24 hour variation of betaglucuronidase and lysozyme liberation was proven. The number of neutrophil receptors for formyl-methyonil-leucyl-phenyl-alamine (FMLP) at the same hours did not show any circadian variation. The circadian changes of the functional capacity of the neutrophils might be one of the mechanisms that could justify the 24 hour variation of symptomatology characteristic of some diseases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION. (From Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed). Autolysosome,Autolysosomes,Lysosome
D008297 Male Males
D009113 Muramidase A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin.

D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
D013481 Superoxides Highly reactive compounds produced when oxygen is reduced by a single electron. In biological systems, they may be generated during the normal catalytic function of a number of enzymes and during the oxidation of hemoglobin to METHEMOGLOBIN. In living organisms, SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE protects the cell from the deleterious effects of superoxides. Superoxide Radical,Superoxide,Superoxide Anion
