Scavenge


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To cleanse, as streets, from filth.

Example Sentences:

  • (6) The free radical scavengers mannitol, thiourea, benzoate, and 4-methylmercapto-2-oxobutyrate protected either native cells exposed to H2O2 or pretreated hepatocytes exposed to H2O2 and given ferric or ferrous iron.

  • (8) The oxygen-free radical scavengers thiourea, mannitol and catalase prevented toxicity mediated by ferrous ammoniumsulphate but not by ferrous ascorbate (molar ratio of 1:20).
  • (9) On the basis of these results it is suggested that (+)-cyanidanol-3 treatment protects brain suspensions against lipid peroxidation by acting as a free radical scavenger in vitro.
  • (10) However, two observations suggested that surface epithelial loss alone was not sufficient to trigger the proliferative response to DOC: intracolonic instillation of DOC followed by removal of the DOC solution at 1 h, at which time surface epithelial loss was maximal, did not result in an increase in ornithine decarboxylase activity or [3H]dThd incorporation into DNA when these parameters were assessed at 4 h or 12 to 48 h, respectively; phenidone, an antioxidant and radical scavenger, and bis[(3,5-diisopropyl-salicylato) (O,O) copper(II), a lipophilic agent with superoxide dismutase activity, abolished the DOC mediated proliferative response but did not prevent the early loss of surface cells.
