TLDR
A critical review of the plasma thiol pool is provided with a focus on human serum albumin, an important target for oxidants and electrophiles due to its reactivity with a wide variety of species and its relatively high concentration.

Investigation of thiol-disulfite homeostasis in blood transfusions in emergency department

TL;DR: Amaç and Yöntemler as discussed by the authorsardırçın amacı, acil serviste farklı miktarlarda, oksidatif stres faktörlerinden thiol-disülfit homeostazisini değerlendirip; oksidef stres düzeyi için bir belirteç olarak kullanılıp kulla-lmayacağını araştırmaktır.

Assessment of oxidative stress markers in elderly patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and potential prognostic implications in the medium and long term

TL;DR: Assessment of some parameters related to oxidative stress may help identify groups of patients with a higher risk of morbidity, mortality and delayed immune response during and after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The Combined Administration of Vitamin C and Copper Induces a Systemic Oxidative Stress and Kidney Injury

TL;DR: In this paper , the in vivo administration of vitamin C (ascorbic acid; AA) and copper (Cu2+) may cause kidney injury. But, when they are used in combination, the Fenton reaction occurs, leading to the formation of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals.

Inhibition of an organophosphate-detoxifying bacterial phosphotriesterase by albumin and plasma thiol components

TL;DR: In this article, the BdPTE mutant 10-2C3(C59M/C227A) was found to be inhibited by serum albumin, either via the known high-affinity zinc binding site of albumin or via chemical complex formation with its free thiol side chain at position Cys34.

Does risk of hyperhomocysteinemia depend on thiol-disulfide exchange reactions of albumin and homocysteine?

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors suggest that homocysteinylated albumin could be a new pathological factor, and that studies on the redox role of albumin and mixed disulfide production via thiol-disulfide exchange reactions could offer new therapeutic insights for reducing Hcy toxicity.

Peroxynitrite oxidation of sulfhydryls. The cytotoxic potential of superoxide and nitric oxide.

TL;DR: Peroxynitrite anion was a less effective thiol-oxidizing agent than its anion, with oxidation presumably mediated by the decomposition products, hydroxyl radical and nitrogen dioxide.

Homocysteine and Cardiovascular Disease

TL;DR: In this article, an elevated level of total homocysteine (tHcy) in blood, denoted hyperhomocysteinemia, is emerging as a prevalent and strong risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease in the coronary, cerebral, and peripheral vessels, and for arterial and venous thromboembolism.

Albumin as a drug carrier: design of prodrugs, drug conjugates and nanoparticles.

TL;DR: This review gives an account of the different drug delivery systems which make use of albumin as a drug carrier with a focus on those systems that have reached an advanced stage of preclinical evaluation or that have entered clinical trials.
