Biologic and pharmacologic regulation of mammalian glutathione synthesis.

Owen W. Griffith
- 01 Nov 1999 - 
- Vol. 27, Iss: 9, pp 922-935
TLDR
Because GSH plays a critical role in cellular defenses against electrophiles, oxidative stress and nitrosating species, pharmacologic manipulation of GSH synthesis has received much attention.

Oxidative stress increases SNAT1 expression and stimulates cysteine uptake in freshly isolated rat cardiomyocytes

TL;DR: Under control conditions SNAT transporters aid in the delivery of cysteine for cardiomyocyte GSH synthesis, whilst oxidative stress increasesCardiomyocytes cysteines uptake and stimulates carduomyocyte SNAT1 expression.

The Effects of Dietary Sulfur Amino Acid Deficiency on Rat Brain Glutathione Concentration and Neural Damage in Global Hemispheric Hypoxia-Ischemia

TL;DR: It is suggested that well-nourished but not 'deficient' animals tolerate a mild brain insult, and the decline in brain glutathione in the "deficient" animals may be one of several contributing mechanisms.

Glutathione deficiency down-regulates hepatic lipogenesis in rats

TL;DR: This study shows that glutathione deficiency lowers hepatic triglyceride concentrations via influencing lipogenesis, and the reduced activity of PTP1B and the higher concentration of irreversible oxidized PTP 1B could be, at least in part, responsible for this effect.

The difference of glutathione antioxidant system in newly weaned and young mice liver and its involvement in isoline-induced hepatotoxicity

TL;DR: The results revealed age-dependent liver injury induced by isoline for the first time, which might be due to the different responses of glutathione antioxidant system to isoline between newly weaned and young mice.

Efficacy of oral N-acetylcysteine in the treatment of acetaminophen overdose. Analysis of the national multicenter study (1976 to 1985)

TL;DR: It is concluded that N-acetylcysteine treatment should be started within eight hours of an acetaminophen overdose, but that treatment is still indicated at least as late as 24 hours after ingestion, and it may be superior when treatment is delayed.
