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.

Dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis in children with community-acquired pneumonia.

TL;DR: Alteration in thiol level under oxidative stress may contribute to community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) and there are changes inThiol/disulfide homeostasis and nitric oxide in children with CAP.

Evaluation of Dynamic Disulphide/Thiol Homeostasis in Silica Exposed Workers.

TL;DR: The serum disulphide levels, a biomarker of oxidative stress, are found to be higher in silica-exposed workers.

The Effects of Bilirubin and Phototherapy on Neonatal Thiol-Disulfide Homeostasis.

TL;DR: Bilirubin showed antioxidant effect without increasing oxidative stress in newborns and Oxidative stress increased after phototherapy, associated with decrease in bilirUBin rather than oxidative effect of phototherapy.

Evaluation of Thiol Homeostasis in Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis as a novel oxidative stress parameter in multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) to better understand the role of thiol in neuroimmunological diseases.

Role of native Thiol, total Thiol and dynamic Disulphide in diagnosis of patient with prostate cancer and prostatitis

TL;DR: Serum NT, TT, DD levels in patients with prostatitis and prostate cancer were found significantly lower compared to the control group, indicating that just as inflammation, prostate cancer also increases oxidative stress on tissues.

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.
