Examples
-
This impaired cellular oxygen problem is termed cytopathic hypoxia.
Forever Young M.D. Nicholas Perricone 2010
-
No cytopathic effect was observed with this first isolate, but unlike HTLV infected cultures, no transformed immortalised cell lines could emerge from the cultures, which always died after 3 – 4 weeks as do normal lymphocytes.
-
By contrast, subsequent isolates I made from culture of lymphocytes of sick patients with AIDS were cytopathic for T lymphocytes culture and – we discovered later – could be cultivated in larger amounts in tumour cell lines derived from leukaemia.
-
The SS peptides are currently being tested as a treatment for cytopathic hypoxia in the ICU.
Forever Young M.D. Nicholas Perricone 2010
-
ALA is an important tool in preventing cytopathic hypoxia—impaired cellular oxygen use—either acutely in the ICU or chronically in the prevention of aging.
Forever Young M.D. Nicholas Perricone 2010
-
Another class of novel mitochondrial antioxidants that play a key role in the treatment of cytopathic hypoxia is the amino acid peptide-based antioxidants.

-
In chapter 1, I introduced the concept of cytopathic hypoxia, which is seen in acute sepsis and septic shock, as a model for accelerated aging.
Forever Young M.D. Nicholas Perricone 2010
-
Just as cytopathic hypoxia is far more important in the generation of MODS than had ever been thought in the past, I propose that cytopathic hypoxia, as seen in the cellular changes of aging, is far more important to the degeneration of the organ systems than was previously believed.

-
Although extreme examples, cytopathic hypoxia and MODS can also be a model for aging.

No cytopathic changes were seen but application of a viral interference method, originally developed by David Tyrrell in England, demonstrated that the rubella virus was present.
