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.

Artocarmitin B enhances intracellular antioxidant capacity via activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway in human lung epithelial cells

TL;DR: The results indicate that ACB is a novel Nrf2 activator and enhances intracellular antioxidant capacity in human lung epithelial cells.

Modulation of Liver l-γ-Glutamyl-l-cysteinylglycine Homeostasis By N-Acetyl-Glucosamine-thiazolidine-4(R)-carboxylic Acid in Mice

TL;DR: GlcNAcCys can modulate liver GSH homeostasis, which may be related to its ability to induce glutamylcysteine ligase catalytic subunit transcription, and has potential hepatoprotective properties by increasing GSH content, increasing GST activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The glutathione-related detoxication responses to juvenile and ecdysone hormones in Galleria mellonella.

TL;DR: The results show that while ecdysone hormone has a negative effect on the glutathione-related detoxication capacity of G. mellonella, the juvenile hormones has a positive effect on this process.

Advanced Age and Neurotrauma Diminish Glutathione and Impair Antioxidant Defense after Spinal Cord Injury

TL;DR: It is suggested that GSH levels at acute stages of SCI play a minimal role in age- dependent outcomes reported after SCI in mice, and elements of injury occurring after three dpi, such as inflammation, as key regulators of age-dependent effects.

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.
