Disease relevance of Ammonium persulfate

• Studies on Salmonella typhi and Salmonella typhimurium outer membrane proteins have shown that the relative position of OmpC porin in sodium dodecyl sulfate.polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis undergoes an important shift when the concentration of ammonium persulfate in the running gel is increased from 6 to 12 mM [1].
• Hairdressers should be made aware that these ammonium persulfate hair bleach preparations may provoke severe reactions and should seek medical attention if the client complains of severe itching, tingling, a burning sensation, hives, dizziness, or weakness [2].
• The skin-prick test with ammonium persulfate performed in a subset of patients gave negative results CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, we confirmed that persulfate salts are the major agents involved in OA and occupational rhinitis in hairdressers [3].
• Immediate and delayed hypersensitivity to ammonium persulfate [4].
• Lisinopril did not alter cardiac contractile frequency in the absence of hypoxia or ammonium persulfate or tertbutylhydroperoxide [5].

High impact information on Ammonium persulfate

• We have developed a simple, convenient, and economic method for measuring urinary iodine by using 1 mol/L ammonium persulfate, a nonexplosive, nonhazardous chemical, as the oxidizing reagent [6].
• Alteration in the electrophoretic mobility of OmpC due to variations in the ammonium persulfate concentration in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [1].
• Commercial porous polypropylene membranes were chemically modified with polyaniline (PANI) using ammonium persulfate as the oxidizer [7].
• Dual effect of ammonium persulfate on the generation of leukotrienes from human neutrophil granulocytes [8].
• In this regard ammonium persulfate (APS) is reported as an inducer of erythema, urticaria, eczema, rhinitis and bronchial asthma [8].

Biological context of Ammonium persulfate

• Inhalation toxicology of ammonium persulfate, an oxidant aerosol, in rats [9].
• The lack of mutagenicity of ammonium persulfate and peroxymonosulfate, which generate the radicals SO4- and SO5-, respectively, argues against the involvement of these oxygen-centered radicals in bisulfite mutagenesis [10].
• 13-week inhalation toxicity study (including 6- and 13-week recovery periods) with ammonium persulfate dust in albino rats [11].
• Down-regulation had taken place by 17 days in the allergic ammonium persulfate reaction, but not in the 17-day allergic gold test reaction [12].
• The key step involves homolytic free radical alkylation via silver catalyzed oxidative decarboxylation of alkylcarboxylic acids with ammonium persulfate [13].

Anatomical context of Ammonium persulfate

• The effect of ammonium persulfate on smooth muscles is obviously mediated by nitric oxide because the relaxation could be blocked by inhibitors of nitric oxide synthase (L-NMMA 40 microM and L-NAME 200 microM) [14].
• This relaxation could be measured by a decrease in isometric pressure in the cannulated trachea instilled with ammonium persulfate at a hydrostatic pressure of 2.5 kPa [14].
• Treatment of that surface with a mixture of tris(bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) chloride, ammonium persulfate, and a tryptophan derivative or tryptophan-bearing peptide in conjunction with irradiation with visible light (447 nm) made the surface adhesive to several cell types including mouse fibroblasts, human myoblasts, and human lung tumor cells [15].

Associations of Ammonium persulfate with other chemical compounds

• 110 urine samples collected from a mixed population of healthy males and females, ranging in age from 6 to 79 years and living in the United States were analyzed for iodine content by two methods: the proposed ammonium persulfate method and the chloric acid method [16].
• This hydrogel is cross-linked using the redox radical initiators ammonium persulfate (APS) and ascorbic acid (AA) [17].
• Cross-linking of the autoclave extracts with ammonium persulfate resulted in a decrease in reduced viscosity and molecular weight, although ferulic acid dehydrodimers were formed [18].
• Immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy were performed from biopsies taken from allergic patch test reactions caused by gold sodium thiosulfate 1 day and 17 days after applying the patches, from normal skin and from a 17-day-old allergic patch test reaction caused by ammonium persulfate [12].

Gene context of Ammonium persulfate

• This aggregation depended on the presence of reduced sulfhydryl residues on IP-10, on the amount of loaded protein, and on the concentration of the ammonium persulfate used to polymerize the stacking gel [19].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ammonium persulfate

• After diafiltration with water, filtration, and lyophilization, the product was reacted with aminoethanethiol and ammonium persulfate [20].
• Patch tests produced a delayed cutaneous reaction to ammonium persulfate confirming contact sensitization [21].
• RESULTS: The causative role of bleaching powder and ammonium persulfate was demonstrated by case history, skin tests, and a nasal challenge test [21].
• Subsequent isoelectric focusing is then free from distortion caused by the presence of ammonium persulfate [22].
• There is only 1 previous report of specific binding of immunoglobulin E (IgE) to ammonium persulfate demonstrated by radioallergosorbent test (RAST) [23].
