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.

Ethyl pyruvate prevents intestinal inflammatory response and oxidative stress in a rat model of extrahepatic cholestasis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that administration of REPS, but not RLS, maintains intestinal barrier function and reduces intestinal oxidative damage, inflammatory response, and apoptosis in cholestatic rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactive oxygen species—Control and management using amphiphilic biosynthetic hydrogels for cardiac applications

TL;DR: The present hydrogel is a promising injectable material for the management of myocardial infarction and ischemia and resists the penetration of ROS in the cell which was evident from the live/dead assay.

Role of human sulfide: quinone oxidoreductase in H2S metabolism

TL;DR: The first step in the mammalian metabolism of H2S is catalyzed by sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQOR), which is an integral membrane protein, which presumably interacts with the inner mitochondrial membrane in a monotopic fashion as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of aspartame on biochemical and oxidative stress parameters in rat blood

TL;DR: It is concluded that chronic use of ASP can lead to the development of hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia and associated diseases, and changes in biochemical parameters, lipid metabolism, as well as changes in the levels of oxidative stress markers and the appearance of signs of liver damage indicate this.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced glutathione regenerating enzymes undergo developmental decline and sexual dimorphism in the rat cerebral cortex.

TL;DR: Results showed that sexual maturation had an impact on activities of enzymes that regenerate and utilize GSH and rat female cortex had more anti-oxidant capacity and reduced glutathione and NADPH protects the brain from oxidative stress.

Antioxidant and Redox Regulation of Gene Transcription

TL;DR: The efficacy of different antioxidants to favorably influence the molecular mechanisms implicated in human disease should be a critical determinant of its selection for clinical studies.

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.
