ABSTRACT Nonketotic hyperglycinemia is a severe neonatal epileptic encephalopathy caused by deficient glycine cleavage enzyme activity, for which currently no effective treatment exists. Incomplete understanding of brain biochemistry represents a major knowledge gap to develop new treatments.

Mutations in mitochondrial enzyme GPT2 cause metabolic dysfunction and neurological disease with developmental and progressive features [PDF]
Mutations that cause neurological phenotypes are highly informative with regard to mechanisms governing human brain function and disease. We report autosomal recessive mutations in the enzyme glutamate pyruvate transaminase 2 (GPT2) in large kindreds ...

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Cystathionine and 2‐Hydroxyglutarate in Brain Tumors
Cystathionine and 2‐hydroxyglutarate were evaluated in 38 glioma patients with TE 97ms PRESS at 3T. Cystathionine level was significantly higher in IDH‐mutant 1p/19q‐codeleted gliomas than in IDH‐mutant non‐codeleted gliomas (p = 0.002). The sensitivity and specificity of the cystathionine measures with respect to 1p/19q status were 0.8 and 0.79, while

NRF2 signalling in cytoprotection and metabolism
The KEAP1‐NRF2 system plays a central role in cytoprotection in defence mechanisms against oxidative stress. The KEAP1‐NRF2 system has been regarded as a sulfur‐utilizing cytoprotective mechanism, because KEAP1 serves as a biosensor for electrophiles by using its reactive thiols and NRF2 is a transcriptional factor regulating genes involved in sulfur ...

Release of GLP-1 and PYY in response to the activation of G protein-coupled bile acid receptor TGR5 is mediated by Epac/PLC-ε pathway and modulated by endogenous H2S [PDF]
Activation of plasma membrane TGR5 receptors in enteroendocrine cells by bile acids is known to regulate gastrointestinal secretion and motility and glucose homeostasis.

Supersulfide biology and translational medicine for disease control
Abstract For decades, the major focus of redox biology has been oxygen, the most abundant element on Earth. Molecular oxygen functions as the final electron acceptor in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, contributing to energy production in aerobic organisms. In addition, oxygen‐derived reactive oxygen species including hydrogen peroxide and nitrogen

Genetically encoded fluorescent redox probes. [PDF]
Redox processes are involved in almost every cell of the body as a consequence of aerobic life. In the past decades, redox biology has been increasingly recognized as one of the key themes in cell signaling.

Discover how Gram‐negative bacteria develop resistance to reactive oxygen species, and how scientists aim to overcome this challenge. Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a promising alternative bactericide. However, it is questioned that bacteria can potentially develop resistance to ROS, similar to their resistance against antibiotics and ...

Impact of hyperglycemia on cystathionine-γ-lyase expression during resuscitated murine septic shock
Background Cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE) was shown to have a regulatory role in glucose metabolism. Circulatory shock can induce metabolic stress, thereby leading to hyperglycemia and mitochondrial dysfunction.
