Abstract

Administration of selected concentrations of ebselen and N-acetyl cysteine have been proven to display an antioxidant potential based on their effect on markers of T cell integrity and function in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and CD4(+) T cell clones. Here we assessed the impact of various antioxidant concentrations on replicative aging of primary human fibroblast strains derived from embryonic lung (MRC-5) and foreskin (HFF). None of the antioxidant concentrations affected the cumulative population doublings, levels of oxidative DNA damage, intracellular GSH:GSSG ratio, potency of heat shock responses and the induction of senescence in both fibroblast strains. Our results showed no effect of both antioxidants on primary fibroblast strains and reveal their cell type specific antioxidant potential.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 July 2015.
All research outputs
#18,418,919
of 22,817,213 outputs
Outputs from Immunity & Ageing
#296
of 372 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#188,875
of 262,407 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Immunity & Ageing
#4
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,817,213 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 372 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.8. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 262,407 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
