Journal ArticleDOI
The GI-GPx Gene Is a Target for Nrf2
TL;DR: The presumed natural antioxidants sulforaphane and curcumin may exert their anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic effects not only by induction of phase 2 enzymes but also by the up-regulation of the selenoprotein GI-GPx.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin E activates gene expression via the pregnane X receptor.

TL;DR: Results presented here show that all forms of Vitamin E are able to activate gene expression via the pregnane X receptor (PXR), a nuclear receptor regulating a variety of drug metabolizing enzymes, pointing to a potential interference of individual forms ofitamin E with the metabolism and efficacy of drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identities and Differences in the Metabolism of Tocotrienols and Tocopherols in HepG2 Cells
TL;DR: Findings demonstrate that the trienols are metabolized essentially like tocopherols, i.e., by omega-oxidation followed by beta-Oxidation of the side chain, as in the metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of pregnane X receptor- and electrophile responsive element-mediated gene expression by dietary polyphenolic compounds.
TL;DR: It is concluded that individual polyphenols as well as polyphenol-rich plant extracts may affect phase 1 and 2 enzyme expression by distinct mechanisms that must be elucidated, before potential health effects can reliably be predicted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modulation of Cyp3a11 mRNA expression by alpha-tocopherol but not gamma-tocotrienol in mice.
Dirk Kluth,Nico Landes,Paul T. Pfluger,Katrin Müller-Schmehl,Kathrin Weiss,Christiane Bumke-Vogt,Michael Ristow,Regina Brigelius-Flohé +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of gamma-tocotrienol on hepatic levels of the murine homolog to human CYP3A4 was investigated in mice for 3 months with alpha-tocopherol-deficient, -adequate, and -supranutritional diet.
