Hyperthermia-induced Hsp90·eNOS Preserves Mitochondrial Respiration in Hyperglycemic EC by Down-regulating Glut-1 and Up-regulating G6PD Activity

'the present study provides a novel mechanism wherein the reduced oxidative stress in heat-shocked hyperglycemic cells down-regulates Glut-1 and glucose uptake, and fine-tuning of this pathway may be a potential approach to use for therapeutic benefit of diabetes mellitus."

Red wine polyphenols prevent endothelial dysfunction induced by endothelin-1 in rat aorta: role of NADPH oxidase

Comment: I may forgetting something -- but this might be a possible benefit of polyphenols from red wine in combatting some of the effects of cigarette smoke and combustable pollutants?

Angiotensin, CAMKII and ROS

HEIRS Environmental Illness Research Blog: Fibromyalgia, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Neurotoxicity and CAMKII

Activation of the angiotensin system which may lead to generation of NADPH oxidase and ROS. The NADPH oxidase system is the major source of ROS generation from angiotensin and exaggerates ROS production from the mitochondria. Li demonstrates that angiotensin stimulates CAMKII, H2O2 production release of arachidonic acid and subsequent Akt activation induced by phospholipase 2.
