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.

The thiol-disulphide homeostasis in patients with acute pancreatitis and its relation with other blood parameters.

TL;DR: The disruption of the thiol-disulfide balance may play a role in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis and administration of the complementary therapies for this thiol deficiency may contribute to the treatment of the disease.

Biomonitoring of Ambient Outdoor Air Pollutant Exposure in Humans Using Targeted Serum Albumin Adductomics.

TL;DR: In this article, a targeted albumin adductomics platform was developed and validated to simultaneously monitor dozens of Cys34 adducts per sample in only 2.5 μL of serum, with on-column limits of detection in the low femtomolar range.

Maternal and fetal thiol/disulfide homeostasis in fetal growth restriction.

TL;DR: Maternal and fetal serum thiol/disulfide profiles may use prediction of FGR severity and its neonatal outcome to improve homeostasis in both maternal and fetal compartment in the presence of fetal growth restriction.

A novel marker in acute central serous chorioretinopathy: thiol/disulfide homeostasis.

TL;DR: Comparing dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostatic status in acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) patients by using a novel and automated assay determining dynamicThiol/DisulfideHomeostasis showed lower values in patients with acute CSCR when compared with healthy controls.

Redox Imbalance and Methylation Disturbances in Early Childhood Obesity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tested the hypothesis that one-carbon metabolism is already dysregulated in prepubertal children with obesity and found that Sulfur-containing amino acids, methionine, cysteine, and their derivatives play important roles in the transmethylation and transsulfuration pathways.

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.
