TL;DR: Although, UCB was long thought to be a non-functional waste product, recent studies have shown that the antioxidant effects of mildly elevated serum UCB levels, as well as activation of heme oxygenase, may protect against diseases associated with oxidative stress, such as atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: The results suggest that oxidative stress in the labyrinth region of the placenta is protected by vitamin E during development and that in addition to the hepatic α-TTP, which governs plasma α-tocopherol level, the uterine α- TTP may also play an important role in supplying this vitamin.

α-Tocopherol Metabolism Is Abnormal in Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I (SR-BI)-Deficient Mice
Pablo Mardones,Pablo Strobel,Soledad Miranda,Federico Leighton,Verónica Quiñones,Ludwig Amigo,Jaime Rozowski,Monty Krieger,Attilio Rigotti +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI), which mediates cellular selective cholesteryl ester uptake from lipoproteins, facilitates efficient transfer of alpha-T from HDL to cultured cells.

Suparna Qanungo,Manju Mukherjea +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that there is gradual suppression of lipoperoxide formation with the progress of gestation to protect the fetus against oxygen toxicity.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent
TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple method for the isolation and purification of total lipides from animal tissues.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described a simplified version of the method and reported the results of a study of its application to different tissues, including the efficiency of the washing procedure in terms of the removal from tissue lipides of some non-lipide substances of special biochemical interest.

Selenium: Biochemical Role as a Component of Glutathione Peroxidase
TL;DR: When hemolyzates from erythrocytes of selenium-deficient rats were incubated in vitro in the presence of ascorbate or H2O2, added glutathione failed to protect the hemoglobin from oxidative damage.
