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.

Developmental Potential of Prepubertal Mouse Oocytes Is Compromised Due Mainly to Their Impaired Synthesis of Glutathione

TL;DR: Results have confirmed the hypothesis that prepubertal oocytes have a decreased ability to synthesize glutathione leading to an impaired potential to reduce ROS and to form male pronuclei and blastocysts, and damages the microfilament network, which affects cortical granule redistribution leading to polyspermy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of resveratrol on oxidative damage in genomic DNA and apoptosis induced by cisplatin.

TL;DR: Evidence for the first time is provided that resveratrol has a protective role in the abatement of cisplatin-induced genotoxicity and apoptosis in somatic and germinal cells of mice.

Exploring the role of polymer structure on intracellular nucleic acid delivery via polymeric nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The polymer structural features that enable effective intracellular delivery of DNA and RNA, including protection of nucleic acid cargo, cellular uptake, endosomal escape, vector unpacking, and delivery to the intrACEllular site of activity are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

An integrated functional genomic study of acute phenobarbital exposure in the rat

TL;DR: The data fusion of metabolomic and transcriptomic changes proved to be a highly sensitive approach for monitoring early stage changes in altered hepatic metabolism, oxidative stress and cytochrome P450 induction simultaneously.

Mercury (II) alters mitochondrial activity of monocytes at sublethal doses via oxidative stress mechanisms.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tested the hypothesis that concentrations of Hg(II) of 10 to 300 nM alter monocyte activity via a redox-dependent mechanism and found that 20 microm Hg (II) inhibited monocytic mitochondrial activity by 50%.

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.
